Английский язык с Джеромом К. Джеромом. Трое в лодке, не считая собаки (ASCII-IPA)

"Don't you want to see the tombs?" he said.

"No," I answered, "I don't. I want to stop here, leaning up against this gritty old wall. Go away, and don't disturb me. I am chock full of beautiful and noble thoughts, and I want to stop like it, because it feels nice and good. Don't you come fooling about, making me mad, chivying away all my better feelings with this silly tombstone nonsense of yours. Go away, and get somebody to bury you cheap, and I'll pay half the expense."

He was bewildered for a moment. He rubbed his eyes, and looked hard at me. I seemed human enough on the outside: he couldn't make it out.

He said:

"Yuise a stranger in these parts (вы чужой в этих местах; stranger — чужестранец, незнакомец, посторонний; yuise = you are /диалектное/)? You don't live here (вы не живете здесь)?"

"No," I said, "I don't (не живу). You wouldn't if I did (вы бы не жили, если бы я жил /здесь/)."

"Well then (ну тогда)," he said, "you want to see the tombs — graves — folks been buried, you know — coffins (вы хотите посмотреть гробницы — могилы — похороненных людей, знаете, гробы)!"

"You are an untruther (вы обманщик; untruth — ложь, обман)," I replied, getting roused (ответил я, раздражаясь; to rouse — пробуждать/ся/; выводить из себя, злить); "I do not want to see tombs — not your tombs (не хочу смотреть ваши могилы). Why should I (почему это я должен /хотеть/ = и почему бы я хотел)? We have graves of our own, our family has (у нас есть свои могилы, — у нашей семьи). Why my uncle Podger has a tomb in Kensal Green Cemetery (ну, например, у моего дяди Поджера могила на кладбище Кенсал-Грин), that is the pride of all that country-side (гордость всей той округи; country-side — сельская местность); and my grandfather's vault at Bow is capable of accommodating eight visitors (а склеп моего дедушки в Бау способен вместить восемь посетителей; to accommodate — давать пристанище, вмещать /людей/), while my great-aunt Susan has a brick grave in Finchley Churchyard (а у моей бабушки Сюзан кирпичная могила на кладбище в Финчли), with a headstone with a coffee-pot sort of thing in bas-relief upon it (надгробный камень с /изображением/ кофейника на барельефе), and a six-inch best white stone coping all the way round, that cost pounds (и шестидюймовый карниз из лучшего белого камня по всей длине вокруг, который стоил немало: «стоил фунтов»; to cope — накрывать, покрывать). When I want graves, it is to those places that I go and revel (когда мне нужны могилы, именно в те места я иду и наслаждаюсь; to revel — пировать, получать удовольствие). I do not want other folk's (мне не нужны /могилы/ других людей). When you yourself are buried, I will come and see yours (когда вас самих похоронят, я приду и посмотрю вашу /могилу/). That is all I can do for you (это все, что я могу сделать для вас)."

He said:

"Yuise a stranger in these parts? You don't live here?"

"No," I said, "I don't. You wouldn't if I did."

"Well then," he said, "you want to see the tombs — graves — folks been buried, you know — coffins!"

"You are an untruther," I replied, getting roused; "I do not want to see tombs — not your tombs. Why should I? We have graves of our own, our family has.

When I want graves, it is to those places that I go and revel. I do not want other folk's. When you yourself are buried, I will come and see yours. That is all I can do for you."

He burst into tears (он залился слезами; to burst into — внезапно или бурно начинать что-либо). He said that one of the tombs had a bit of stone upon the top of it (он сказал, что на одной из могил лежит кусок камня) that had been said by some to be probably part of the remains of the figure of a man (который, /как/ некоторые говорят, возможно, является частью развалин изображения человека; remains — остатки, развалины; figure — фигура, изображение, статуя), and that another had some words, carved upon it (а на другой какие-то выгравированные слова), that nobody had ever been able to decipher (которые никто еще не мог разобрать/расшифровать).

I still remained obdurate (я по-прежнему оставался непреклонным), and, in broken-hearted tones, he said (и сокрушенным тоном он сказал; broken-hearted — убитый горем; с разбитым сердцем):

"Well, won't you come and see the memorial window (может, пойдете посмотрите мемориальное окно)?"

I would not even see that, so he fired his last shot (я не согласился посмотреть даже его, поэтому он /старик/ выпустил свой последний заряд). He drew near, and whispered hoarsely (он подошел ближе и прошептал хрипло; to draw near):

"I've got a couple of skulls down in the crypt (у меня пара черепов внизу, в склепе)," he said; "come and see those. Oh, do come and see the skulls! You are a young man out for a holiday, and you want to enjoy yourself (вы молодой человек в отпуске, и хотите получить удовольствие). Come and see the skulls (идите посмотрите черепа)!"

He burst into tears. He said that one of the tombs had a bit of stone upon the top of it that had been said by some to be probably part of the remains of the figure of a man, and that another had some words, carved upon it, that nobody had ever been able to decipher.

Then I turned and fled, and as I sped I heard him calling to me (тут я развернулся и побежал, а на бегу слышал, как он кричит мне; to flee — убегать, спасаться бегством; to speed — спешить; мчаться):

"Oh, come and see the skulls; come back and see the skulls (вернитесь и посмотрите черепа)!"

Harris, however, revels in tombs, and graves (Гаррис однако упивается /видом/ гробниц, могил), and epitaphs, and monumental inscriptions (эпитафий и надписей на памятниках), and the thought of not seeing Mrs. Thomas's grave made him crazy (и от мысли, что он не увидит могилу миссис Томас, он обезумел). He said he had looked forward to seeing Mrs. Thomas's grave from the first moment that the trip was proposed (он сказал, что ожидал с нетерпением/предвкушал /возможность/ увидеть могилу миссис Томас с первой минуты, когда предложили путешествие) — said he wouldn't have joined if it hadn't been for the idea of seeing Mrs. Thomas's tomb (сказал, что не присоединился бы /к нам/, если бы не намерение увидеть могилу миссис Томас; if it were not for — если бы не).

I reminded him of George (я напомнил ему о Джордже), and how we had to get the boat up to Shepperton by five o'clock to meet him (и о том, что нам нужно привести лодку в Шеппертон к пяти часам, чтобы встретить его), and then he went for George (и тут он /Гаррис/ принялся за Джорджа). Why was George to fool about all day (почему Джордж должен болтаться без дела весь день), and leave us to lug this lumbering old top-heavy barge up and down the river by ourselves to meet him (а нам предоставляет таскать эту громоздкую старую перегруженную баржу = лодку вверх и вниз по реке, чтобы встретить его; top-heavy — неустойчивый; перевешивающий в своей верхней части)? Why couldn't George come and do some work (почему Джордж не мог прийти и выполнить какую-нибудь работу)? Why couldn't he have got the day off, and come down with us (почему он не мог взять выходной и отправиться с нами)? Bank be blowed (будь проклят этот банк; to blow — веять, дуть /о ветре/; взрывать)! What good was he at the bank (какой прок от него /Джорджа/ в банке)?

Then I turned and fled, and as I sped I heard him calling to me:

"Oh, come and see the skulls; come back and see the skulls!"
