Шрифт:
The driver pointed with his whip (кучер указал хлыстом).
"Baskerville Hall," said he.
Its master had risen (его хозяин поднялся) and was staring with flushed cheeks and shining eyes (и /стоял/, всматриваясь, с раскрасневшимися щеками и сияющими глазами; to flush — хлынуть; вспыхнуть, покраснеть). A few minutes later we had reached the lodge-gates (спустя несколько минут мы достигли ворот поместья; lodge — домик; сторожка), a maze of fantastic tracery in wrought iron (переплетение фантастических узоров из кованого железа; wrought — выделанный; кованый; tracery — ажурная работа /особ. в средневековой архитектуре/; сплетение, переплетение; maze — лабиринт), with weather-bitten pillars on either side, blotched with lichens (с изъеденными непогодой колоннами

The driver pointed with his whip.
"Baskerville Hall," said he.
Its master had risen and was staring with flushed cheeks and shining eyes. A few minutes later we had reached the lodge-gates, a maze of fantastic tracery in wrought iron, with weather-bitten pillars on either side, blotched with lichens, and surmounted by the boars' heads of the Baskervilles. The lodge was a ruin of black granite and bared ribs of rafters, but facing it was a new building, half constructed, the first fruit of Sir Charles's South African gold.
Through the gateway we passed into the avenue (сквозь ворота мы выехали на аллею), where the wheels were again hushed amid the leaves (где /стук/ колес опять затих среди листьев), and the old trees shot their branches in a sombre tunnel over our heads (а старые деревья, вытянув свои ветви, /образовывали/ мрачный тоннель над нашими головами; to shoot — стрелять; пускать ростки). Baskerville shuddered as he looked up the long, dark drive (Баскервиль вздрогнул, когда взглянул на длинную темную аллею; drive — езда; дорога, подъездная аллея) to where the house glimmered like a ghost at the farther end (в дальнем конце которой, как привидение, смутно просматривался дом; to glimmer — мерцать; виднеться нечетко).
"Was it here?" he asked, in a low voice (это произошло здесь? — тихим голосом спросил он).
"No, no, the Yew Alley is on the other side (нет-нет, тисовая аллея с другой стороны)."
The young heir glanced round with a gloomy face (молодой наследник взглянул вокруг с угрюмым /выражением/ лица).
"It's no wonder my uncle felt as if trouble were coming on him (неудивительно, /что/ мой дядя ощущал приближение беды; to come on — надвигаться; приближаться) in such a place as this (/живя/ в таком месте, как здесь)," said he. "It's enough to scare any man (этого достаточно, чтобы напугать любого = оно вполне может напугать любого). I'll have a row of electric lamps up here inside of six months (через шесть месяцев у меня здесь будет ряд электрических ламп), and you won't know it again (и вы не узнаете это /место/), with a thousand candle-power Swan and Edison right here in front of the hall door (с лампами Свана и Эдисона в тысячу свечей прямо здесь, перед входной дверью)."
avenue ['&vInju:], wonder ['wVnd@], thousand ['Tauz@nd]
Through the gateway we passed into the avenue, where the wheels were again hushed amid the leaves, and the old trees shot their branches in a sombre tunnel over our heads. Baskerville shuddered as he looked up the long, dark drive to where the house glimmered like a ghost at the farther end.

I'll have a row of electric lamps up here inside of six months, and you won't know it again, with a thousand candle-power Swan and Edison right here in front of the hall door."
The avenue opened into a broad expanse of turf (аллея выходила на широкий газон, /покрытый/ дерном; to open into — вести к; выходить на; expanse —
"Welcome, Sir Henry (добро пожаловать, сэр Генри)! Welcome, to Baskerville Hall!"
A tall man had stepped from the shadow of the porch (высокий человек шагнул из тени крыльца) to open the door of the wagonette (/чтобы/ открыть дверь экипажа). The figure of a woman was silhouetted against the yellow light of the hall (фигура женщины вырисовывалась в желтоватом свете, /падающем/ из гостиной). She came out and helped the man to hand down our bags (она вышла и помогла мужчине снять наши сумки = чемоданы; to hand — давать; брать рукой).
ivy ['aIvI], turret ['tVrIt], silhouette [,sIlu:'et]
The avenue opened into a broad expanse of turf, and the house lay before us. In the fading light I could see that the centre was a heavy block of building from which a porch projected. The whole front was draped in ivy, with a patch clipped bare here and there where a window or a coat-of-arms broke through the dark veil. From this central block rose the twin towers, ancient, crenellated, and pierced with many loopholes. To right and left of the turrets were more modern wings of black granite. A dull light shone through heavy mullioned windows, and from the high chimneys which rose from the steep, high-angled roof there sprang a single black column of smoke.

"You don't mind my driving straight home, Sir Henry (вы не возражаете, если я поеду сразу домой, сэр Генри; to mind — заботиться; возражать)?" said Dr. Mortimer. "My wife is expecting me (меня ждет жена)."
"Surely you will stay and have some dinner (вы непременно /должны/ остаться и пообедать; surely — конечно, непременно)?"
"No, I must go (нет, я должен ехать). I shall probably find some work awaiting me (вероятно, меня ждет много работы: «я найду работу, ожидающую меня»). I would stay to show you over the house (я бы остался, /чтобы/ показать вам дом), but Barrymore will be a better guide than I (но Бэрримор будет гидом лучшим, чем я). Good-bye, and never hesitate night or day to send for me (до свидания, и не стесняйтесь днем или ночью послать за мной; to hesitate — колебаться, не решаться) if I can be of service (если я смогу быть /чем-то/ полезен; to be of service — быть полезным)."
