“The captain’s wounded (капитан ранен),” said Mr. Trelawney (сказал мистер Трелони).
“Have they run (они убежали)?” asked Mr. Smollett (спросил мистер Смоллетт).
survivor [sq`vaIvq] recommence [rJkq`mens] glance [glRns] wounded [`wHndId]
The doctor and Gray and I ran full speed for shelter. The survivors would soon be back where they had left their muskets, and at any moment the fire might recommence.
The house was by this time somewhat cleared of smoke, and we saw at a glance the price we had paid for victory. Hunter lay beside his loophole, stunned; Joyce by his, shot through the head, never to move again; while right in the centre, the squire was supporting the captain, one as pale as the other.
“The captain’s wounded,” said Mr. Trelawney.
“Have they run?” asked Mr. Smollett.
“All that could, you may be bound (все, кто мог, можете не беспокоиться; to be bound — быть обязанным),” returned the doctor (ответил доктор) “but there’s five of them will never run again (но пятерым из них уже никогда не бегать).”
“Five!” cried the captain (вскричал капитан). “Come, that’s better (ну, это лучше = не так уж и плохо). Five against three leaves us four to nine (пять /вышедших из строя у них/ против трех /у нас/ оставляют нас четверых против девяти). That’s better odds than we had at starting (это лучшая разница, чем была вначале). We were seven to nineteen then (нас было семеро против девятнадцати тогда), or thought we were (или /по меньшей мере/ думали, что это так: «думали, что нас было»), and that’s as bad to bear (а это столь же плохо, чтобы перенести = это представление было столь же трудно перенести, как и реальность).”*
*(The mutineers were soon only eight in number (бунтовщиков вскоре осталось только восемь), for the man shot by Mr. Trelawney on board the schooner died that same evening of his wound (потому что человек, подстреленный мистером Трелони на борту шхуны, умер от ранения в тот же вечер). But this was, of course, not known till after by the faithful party (но это, конечно, было неизвестно в то время верной команде)).

PART FIVE (часть 5)
My Sea Adventure (мое морское приключение)
Chapter XXII (глава 22)
How My Sea Adventure Began (как мое морское приключение началось)
THERE was no return of the mutineers (бунтовщики не возвращались: «не было возвращения бунтовщиков») — not so much as another shot out of the woods (даже ни одного выстрела из леса /не было сделано/; not so much as — даже не, не столько, сколько). They had “got their rations for that day (они получили свой паек на тот день = на сегодня),” as the captain put it (как выразился капитан; to put — поставить; определить; говорить, выразить), and we had the place to ourselves and a quiet time to overhaul the wounded and get dinner (и у нас было место для нас самих и спокойное время, чтобы = мы могли без опасений перевязать раненых и приготовить обед; to overhaul — тщательно осматривать, проверять). Squire and I cooked outside in spite of the danger (мы со сквайром готовили снаружи = во дворе, несмотря на опасность), and even outside we could hardly tell what we were at (и даже во дворе мы едва ли могли сказать, чем занимаемся = все валилось из рук), for horror of the loud groans that reached us from the doctor’s patients (из-за ужаса громких стонов, которые доносились до нас от пациентов доктора).
Out of the eight men who had fallen in the action (из восьми человек, павших = пострадавших в бою), only three still breathed (только трое еще дышали = остались в живых) — that one of the pirates who had been shot at the loophole (один из пиратов, которого подстрелили у бойницы), Hunter, and Captain Smollett (Хантер и капитан Смоллетт); and of these the first two were as good as dead (и из этих /трех/ первые двое были фактически мертвы); the mutineer, indeed, died under the doctor’s knife (бунтовщик, действительно, умер под докторским ножом = во время операции), and Hunter, do what we could, never recovered consciousness in this world (а Хантер, /несмотря на то, что/ мы делали /все/, что могли, так и не пришел в сознание на этом свете). He lingered all day (он мучительно умирал весь день; to linger — задерживаться, затягиваться, медленно умирать), breathing loudly like the old buccaneer at home in his apoplectic fit (дыша громко, как старый пират в /нашем/ доме в своем апоплексическом приступе = после удара); but the bones of his chest had been crushed by the blow (но кости его грудной клетки = ребра были раздроблены ударом) and his skull fractured in falling (и его череп проломлен при падении), and some time in the following night (в какой-то момент на следующую ночь), without sign or sound (без жеста или звука = тихо, без стона), he went to his Maker (он отправился к Создателю).

As for the captain, his wounds were grievous indeed, but not dangerous (что касается капитана, его раны были действительно тяжелыми, но не опасными; grievous — горестный, тяжелый, мучительный; to grieve — огорчать, глубоко опечаливать). No organ was fatally injured (ни один орган не был фатально/смертельно = серьезно поврежден). Anderson’s ball (пуля Эндерсона) — for it was Job that shot him first (потому что это Джоб первым выстрелил в него) — had broken his shoulder-blade and touched the lung, not badly (пробила ему лопатку и задело легкое, не очень сильно); the second had only torn and displaced some muscles in the calf (вторая /пуля/ только оцарапала и сместила мышцы икры; to tear — рвать; оцарапать, поранить). He was sure to recover, the doctor said (он наверняка поправится, сказал доктор), but, in the meantime and for weeks to come (но между тем в течение нескольких недель), he must not walk nor move his arm (он не должен ни ходить, ни двигать рукой), nor so much as speak when he could help it (ни даже разговаривать, когда он может избежать этого = лишний раз не разговаривать).
