Шрифт:

revolver [rI'vOlv@], carriage ['k&rIdZ], museum [mju(:)'zI@m]

"You have arms, I suppose?"

"Yes, I thought it as well to take them."

"Most certainly. Keep your revolver near you night and day, and never relax your precautions."

Our friends had already secured a first-class carriage, and were waiting for us upon the platform.

"No, we have no news of any kind," said Dr. Mortimer, in answer to my friend's questions. "I can swear to one thing, and that is that we have not been shadowed during the last two days. We have never gone out without keeping a sharp watch, and no one could have escaped our notice."

"You have always kept together, I presume?"

"Except yesterday afternoon. I usually give up one day to pure amusement when I come to town, so I spent it at the Museum of the College of Surgeons."

"And I went to look at the folk in the park

я ходил взглянуть на людей в парке)," said Baskerville. "But we had no trouble of any kind (но у нас не было никаких неприятностей)."

"It was imprudent, all the same (все-таки это было неосторожно)," said Holmes, shaking his head and looking very grave (сказал Холмс, с мрачным видом покачивая головой; to shake — трясти; качать; to look — смотреть; выглядеть). "I beg, Sir Henry, that you will not go about alone (я прошу, сэр Генри, чтобы вы не ходили один). Some great misfortune will befall you if you do (с вами произойдет большое несчастье, если вы будете так делать). Did you get your other boot (вы нашли другой ботинок)?"

"No, sir, it is gone for ever (нет, сэр, он пропал навсегда)."

"Indeed (правда?). That is very interesting (очень интересно). Well, good-bye," he added (ну, до свидания, — добавил он), as the train began to glide down the platform (когда поезд начал плавно двигаться вдоль платформы; to glide — скользить). "Bear in mind, Sir Henry, one of the phrases in that queer old legend (сэр Генри, не забывайте одну фразу из той странной легенды; to bear in mind — иметь в виду; помнить) which Dr. Mortimer has read to us (которую прочел нам доктор Мортимер), and avoid the moor in those hours of darkness (и избегайте торфяных болот в те ночные часы) when the powers of evil are exalted (когда царствуют силы зла)."

trouble [trVbl], hour ['au@], exalt [Ig'zO:lt]

"And I went to look at the folk in the park," said Baskerville. "But we had no trouble of any kind."

"It was imprudent, all the same," said Holmes, shaking his head and looking very grave. "I beg, Sir Henry, that you will not go about alone. Some great misfortune will befall you if you do. Did you get your other boot?"

"No, sir, it is gone for ever."

"Indeed. That is very interesting. Well, good-bye," he added, as the train began to glide down the platform. "Bear in mind, Sir Henry, one of the phrases in that queer old legend which Dr. Mortimer has read to us, and avoid the moor in those hours of darkness when the powers of evil are exalted."

I looked back at the platform when we had left it far behind оглянулся на платформу, которая оставалась /уже/ далеко позади: «когда мы оставили ее…»), and saw the tall, austere figure of Holmes (и увидел высокую аскетичную фигуру Холмса) standing motionless and gazing after us (который стоял неподвижно и смотрел нам вслед; to gaze — пристально глядеть; вглядываться).

The journey was a swift and pleasant one (путешествие было быстрым и приятным), and I spent it in making the more intimate acquaintance of my two companions (и я провел его, ближе знакомясь с двумя своими спутниками; intimate — внутренний; близкий) and in playing with Dr. Mortimer's spaniel (и играя со спаниелем доктора Мортимера). In a very few hours the brown earth had become ruddy (буквально через несколько часов земля из бурой стала красноватого /оттенка/), the brick had changed to granite (кирпич сменился гранитом), and red cows grazed in well-hedged fields (и рыжие коровы паслись на огороженных лугах; to graze — кормить скот; пасти скот; to hedge — отгораживать, отделять изгородью) where the lush grasses and more luxuriant vegetation spoke of a richer, if a damper, climate (где сочные травы и другая пышная растительность свидетельствовали о прекрасном, пусть и более влажном, климате; to speak — говорить; свидетельствовать; rich — богатый; плодородный; if — если; хотя, пусть). Young Baskerville stared eagerly out of the window (молодой Баскервиль с интересом смотрел в окно; eagerly — пылко, страстно), and cried aloud with delight (и громко вскрикивал от удовольствия) as he recognised the familiar features of the Devon scenery (когда

узнавал родные черты девонширских пейзажей; familiar — близкий; хорошо знакомый).

"I've been over a good part of the world since I left it, Dr. Watson (я объездил полмира с тех пор, как уехал отсюда, доктор Ватсон; good part — значительная часть)," said he; "but I have never seen a place to compare with it (но никогда не видал мест, сравнимых с этими)."

motionless ['m@utIveIt], luxuriant [lVg'zju@rI@nt], compare [k@m'pE@]

I looked back at the platform when we had left it far behind, and saw the tall, austere figure of Holmes standing motionless and gazing after us.

The journey was a swift and pleasant one, and I spent it in making the more intimate acquaintance of my two companions and in playing with Dr. Mortimer's spaniel. In a very few hours the brown earth had become ruddy, the brick had changed to granite, and red cows grazed in well-hedged fields where the lush grasses and more luxuriant vegetation spoke of a richer, if a damper, climate. Young Baskerville stared eagerly out of the window, and cried aloud with delight as he recognised the familiar features of the Devon scenery.

"I've been over a good part of the world since I left it, Dr. Watson," said he; "but I have never seen a place to compare with it."

"I never saw a Devonshire man who did not swear by his county (я никогда не встречал: «не видел» девонширца, который бы не гордился своим графством; to swear by — молиться на, боготворить: «клясться /чем-либо/»)," I remarked (заметил я).

"It depends upon the breed of men quite as much as on the county (это зависит от «породы» людей ничуть не меньше, чем от местности; quite — полностью; всецело; as much — столько же, не меньше)," said Dr. Mortimer. "A glance at our friend here reveals the rounded head of the Celt (стоит один раз взглянуть на округленную голову нашего друга, чтобы признать в нем представителя кельтской расы; to reveal — открывать, обнаруживать), which carries inside it the Celtic enthusiasm and power of attachment (с присущими ей кельтской восторженностью и притягательной силой; to carry — нести; иметь /какие-либо признаки, свойства/; inside — внутри; attachment — верность, преданность). Poor Sir Charles's head was of a very rare type (голова бедного сэра Чарльза была редкого типа), half Gaelic, half Ivernian in its characteristics (наполовину гаэльского, наполовину иберийского по своим признакам). But you were very young (но вы были очень молоды) when you last saw Baskerville Hall, were you not (когда последний раз видели Баскервиль-холл, не так ли)?"

"I was a boy in my teens at the time of my father's death (я был подростком, когда умер мой отец; teens — возраст от 13 до 19 лет), and had never seen the Hall никогда не видел Баскервиль-холла), for he lived in a little cottage on the south coast (потому как он жил в маленьком коттедже на южном побережье). Thence I went straight to a friend in America (прямо оттуда я уехал к другу /семьи/ в Америку). I tell you it is all as new to me as it is to Dr. Watson (говорю вам, это все для меня так же ново, как и для доктора Ватсона), and I'm as keen as possible to see the moor (и я горю желанием увидеть торфяные болота; to be keen on — страстно желать; possible — вероятный, возможный)."

"Are you (неужели)? Then your wish is easily granted (тогда ваше желание легко исполнить; to grant — дарить; удовлетворить /чью-либо просьбу, запрос/), for there is your first sight of the moor (потому что вот ваш первый вид /этих/ болот = пожалуйста, можете на них полюбоваться; sight — зрение; осмотр)," said Dr. Mortimer, pointing out of the carriage window (сказал доктор Мортимер, указывая за окно вагона).

enthusiasm [In'Tju:zI&zm], characteristic [,k&rIkt@'rIstIk], south [sauT]

"I never saw a Devonshire man who did not swear by his county," I remarked.

"It depends upon the breed of men quite as much as on the county," said Dr. Mortimer. "A glance at our friend here reveals the rounded head of the Celt, which carries inside it the Celtic enthusiasm and power of attachment.
