Arthur Conan Doyle - Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Первый сборник рассказов (ASCII-IPA)

"I do not know that there is anything else for me to explain (я не знаю, чтобы здесь было что-то еще для меня, чтобы объяснить = больше мне нечего прибавить) . I was determined to preserve (решил сохранить) my disguise as long as possible (мою маскировку так долго, как /только/ возможно) , and hence my preference for a dirty face (и оттого мое предпочтение грязному лицу = поэтому не умывался) . Knowing that my wife would be terribly anxious (зная, что моя жена будет ужасно обеспокоена) , I slipped off my ring (снял кольцо; to slip — скользить) and confided it (доверил его) to the Lascar at a moment when no constable was watching me (в тот момент, когда никакой констебль не наблюдал за мной = тайком от полиции) , together with a hurried scrawl (вместе с торопливой запиской) , telling her that she had no cause to fear (говорящей ей, что у нее нет причины бояться) ."

preserve [prI'z@:v], preference ['pref@r@ns], anxious ['&NkS@s], scrawl [skrO:l], cause [kO:z]

"That note only reached her yesterday (эта записка только вчера достигла ее) ," said Holmes.

"Good God (о Боже) ! What a week she must have spent (что за неделю она, должно быть, провела; to spend) !"

"I do not know that there is anything else for me to explain. I was determined to preserve my disguise as long as possible, and hence my preference for a dirty face. Knowing that my wife would be terribly anxious, I slipped off my ring and confided it to the Lascar at a moment when no constable was watching me, together with a hurried scrawl, telling her that she had no cause to fear."

"That note only reached her yesterday," said Holmes.

"Good God! What a week she must have spent!"

"The police have watched this Lascar (полиция следила за этим Ласкаром) ," said Inspector Bradstreet, "and I can quite understand (вполне понимаю) that he might find it difficult (что ему было трудно) to post a letter unobserved (отправить письмо незамеченным) . Probably he handed it to some sailor customer of his (возможно, он передал его какому-нибудь матросу, посетителю /притона/) , who forgot all about it for some days (который забыл все = совершенно об этом на несколько дней; to forget — забывать) ."

unobserved [Vn@b'z@:vd], sailor ['seIl@], customer ['kVst@m@]

"That was it (так и было) ," said Holmes, nodding approvingly (кивая одобрительно; to approve — одобрять) ; "I have no doubt of it (я не имею сомнения насчет этого) . But have you never been prosecuted for begging (но разве вас никогда не привлекали к суду за попрошайничество) ?"

"The police have watched this Lascar," said Inspector Bradstreet, "and I can quite understand that he might find it difficult to post a letter unobserved. Probably he handed it to some sailor customer of his, who forgot all about it for some days."

"That was it," said Holmes, nodding approvingly; "I have no doubt of it. But have you never been prosecuted for begging?"

"Many times (много раз) ; but what was a fine to me (но что был штраф = но что значил штраф для меня) ?"

"It must stop here, however (это должно кончиться здесь, как бы то ни было) ," said Bradstreet. "If the police are to hush this thing up (если полиция должна замять эту вещь = историю) , there must be no more of Hugh Boone (не должно быть больше Хью Буна) ."

"I have sworn it by the most solemn oaths which a man can take (я /уже/ поклялся /себе/ самыми торжественными клятвами, какие /только/ человек может дать; to swear — клясться) ."

"Many times; but what was a fine to me?"

"It must stop here, however," said Bradstreet. "If the police are to hush this thing up, there must be no more of Hugh Boone."

"I have sworn it by the most solemn oaths which a man can take."

"In that case (в таком случае) I think that it is probable (я полагаю вероятным) that no further steps may be taken (что никакие дальнейшие шаги могут быть приняты = не будут приняты) . But if you are found again (но если вы будете найдены = замечены снова) , then all must come out (тогда все выйдет наружу) . I am sure (я уверен) , Mr. Holmes, that we are very much indebted to you (очень в долгу перед вами = признательны вам) for having cleared the matter up (за раскрытие дела) . I wish I knew how you reach your results (хотел бы я знать, как вы достигаете ваших результатов) ."

probable ['prOb@bl], indebted [In'detId]

"I reached this one (достиг этого) ," said my friend, "by sitting upon five pillows (сидением на пяти подушках) and consuming an ounce of shag (и потреблением = выкуриванием унции табаку) . I think, Watson, that if we drive to Baker Street (если мы поедем на Бейкер-стрит) we shall just be in time for breakfast (мы будем как раз /вовремя/ к завтраку) ."

"In that case I think that it is probable that no further steps may be taken. But if you are found again, then all must come out. I am sure, Mr. Holmes, that we are very much indebted to you for having cleared the matter up. I wish I knew how you reach your results."

"I reached this one," said my friend, "by sitting upon five pillows and consuming an ounce of shag. I think, Watson, that if we drive to Baker Street we shall just be in time for breakfast."

(ПРИКЛЮЧЕНИЕ ГОЛУБОГО КАРБУНКУЛА)

I had called upon (я посетил) my friend Sherlock Holmes upon the second morning after Christmas (моего друга на второе утро после Рождества) , with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season (с намерением = чтобы поздравить его с праздником; compliments of the season — поздравительные приветствия /соответственно какому-либо празднику/ ). He was lounging upon the sofa (он сидел, откинувшись на диване) in a purple dressing-gown (в багряном халате) , a pipe-rack within his reach upon the right (подставка с трубками под рукой справа от него; reach — зона досягаемости, сфера) , and a pile of crumpled morning papers (стопка скомканных утренних газет) , evidently newly studied (очевидно, недавно изученных) , near at hand (под рукой) . Beside the couch (рядом с кушеткой) was a wooden chair (деревянный стул) , and on the angle of the back (косо на спинке; on the angle — под углом) hung a very seedy and disreputable hard felt hat (висела сильно поношенная и недостойная /дискредитирующая/ фетровая шляпа; to hang — вешать, висеть) , much the worse for wear (намного хуже, чтобы носить = висеть-то висела, а носить ее вообще было невозможно) , and cracked in several places (продырявленная в нескольких местах) . A lens and a forceps lying upon the seat of the chair (лупа и пинцет, лежавшие на сиденье стула) suggested (намекали) that the hat had been suspended (что шляпа отложена) in this manner for the purpose of examination (таким образом с целью изучения) .

I had called upon my friend Sherlock Holmes upon the second morning after Christmas, with the intention of wishing him the compliments of the season. He was lounging upon the sofa in a purple dressing-gown, a pipe-rack within his reach upon the right, and a pile of crumpled morning papers, evidently newly studied, near at hand. Beside the couch was a wooden chair, and on the angle of the back hung a very seedy and disreputable hard felt hat, much the worse for wear, and cracked in several places. A lens and a forceps lying upon the seat of the chair suggested that the hat had been suspended in this manner for the purpose of examination.

"You are engaged (вы заняты) ," said I; "perhaps I interrupt you (наверное, я мешаю вам: «прерываю вас») ."

"Not at all (вовсе нет) . I am glad (рад) to have a friend with whom I can discuss my results (что пришел друг, с которым могу обсудить свои результаты /исследований/) . The matter is a perfectly trivial one (вещь — совершенно заурядная) " (he jerked his thumb (дернул = ткнул большим пальцем) in the direction (в направлении) of the old hat), "but there are points (пункты = события) in connection with it (в связи с ней) which are not entirely devoid of interest and even of instruction (которые не лишены интереса и даже поучительности) ."

trivial ['trIvI@l], thumb [TVm], entirely [In'taI@lI]

"You are engaged," said I; "perhaps I interrupt you."

"Not at all. I am glad to have a friend with whom I can discuss my results. The matter is a perfectly trivial one" (he jerked his thumb in the direction of the old hat), "but there are points in connection with it which are not entirely devoid of interest and even of instruction."

I seated myself (я усадил себя = сел) in his armchair (в кресло) and warmed my hands before his crackling fire (и погрел руки перед потрескивающим огнем) , for a sharp frost had set in (так как сильный: «острый» мороз установился) , and the windows were thick with the ice crystals (окна были густо покрыты кристаллами льда) . "I suppose (полагаю) ," I remarked (заметил) , "that, homely as it looks (обыденная, как она выглядит = хотя она столь невзрачна) , this thing has some deadly story linked on to it (эта вещь связана с какой-нибудь кровавой историей: «имеет какую-то смертельную историю, связанную с этим») — that it is the clew (ключ, зацепка) which will guide you in the solution of some mystery (приведет вас к решению какой-то тайны) and the punishment of some crime (и наказанию какого-то преступления = преступника) ."
