Илья Франк - Английский язык с Ф. Баумом. Волшебник Изумрудного Города

The next morning the sun was behind a cloud (на следующее утро солнце оказалось /скрытым/ за облаком), but they started on, as if they were quite sure which way they were going (но они /все равно/ отправились в путь, словно были совершенно уверены, каким путем они шли).

straight [streIt], rising ['raIzIN], brightly ['braItlI], cloud [klaud]

They knew, of course, they must go straight east, toward the rising sun; and they started off in the right way. But at noon, when the sun was over their heads, they did not know which was east and which was west, and that was the reason they were lost in the great fields. They kept on walking, however, and at night the moon came out and shone brightly. So they lay down among the sweet smelling yellow flowers and slept soundly until morning — all but the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.

The next morning the sun was behind a cloud, but they started on, as if they were quite sure which way they were going.

"If we walk far enough (если мы будем идти достаточно далеко)," said Dorothy, "I am sure we shall sometime come to some place (я уверена, что когда-нибудь мы /обязательно/ придем к какому-нибудь месту)."

But day by day passed away (но день проходил за днем), and they still saw nothing before them but the scarlet fields (а они все еще ничего не видели перед собой, кроме алых полей). The Scarecrow began to grumble a bit (Страшила начал понемногу ворчать; to grumble — ворчать, жаловаться; a bit — немного, чуть-чуть ).

"We have surely lost our way (мы наверняка потеряли нашу дорогу = заблудились)”, he said, "and unless we find it again in time to reach the Emerald City (и если только мы снова не найдем ее вовремя, чтобы добраться до Изумрудного Города), I shall never get my brains (то я никогда не получу свои мозги)."

"Nor I my heart (/а я не получу/ свое сердце)," declared the Tin Woodman. "It seems to me I can scarcely wait till I get to Oz (мне кажется, что я едва могу дождаться, когда я приду к Озу; to get to a place — приходить куда-либо, добираться до какого-либо места ), and you must admit this is a very long journey (и вы должны признать, что это очень продолжительное путешествие)."

"If we walk far enough," said Dorothy, "I am sure we shall sometime come to some place." But day by day passed away, and they still saw nothing before them but the scarlet fields. The Scarecrow began to grumble a bit.

"We have surely lost our way," he said, "and unless we find it again in time to reach the Emerald City, I shall never get my brains."

"Nor I my heart," declared the Tin Woodman. "It seems to me I can scarcely wait till I get to Oz, and you must admit this is a very long journey."

"You see (видите ли)," said the Cowardly Lion, with a whimper (хныкая сказал Трусливый Лев; whimper — хныканье, нытье ), "I haven't the courage to keep tramping forever (у меня не хватает смелости, чтобы продолжать бесконечно бродяжничать; to tramp — тяжело ступать, громко топать; идти пешком, ходить пешком; бродяжничать; forever — навсегда, навечно; постоянно, все время ), without getting anywhere at all (никуда вовсе не приходя)."

Then Dorothy lost heart (тогда Дороти пала духом; to lose heart — падать духом, впадать в уныние: «терять сердце» ). She sat down on the grass and looked at her companions (она села на траву и посмотрела на своих товарищей/спутников; companion — товарищ; спутник, попутчик ), and they sat down and looked at her (и те сели и посмотрели на нее), and Toto found that for the first time in his life (а Тото обнаружил, что в первый раз в своей жизни; time — время; раз ) he was too tired to chase a butterfly (он был слишком уставшим, чтобы гоняться за бабочкой) that flew past his head (которая пролетела над его головой). So he put out his tongue and panted (тогда он высунул свой язык и тяжело задышал) and looked at Dorothy as if to ask what they should do next (и посмотрел на Дороти, словно для того, чтобы спросить, что же им делать дальше).

"Suppose we call the field mice (а не позвать ли нам полевых мышей; to suppose — допускать, полагать, предполагать; зд. выражает предложение: а не сделать ли нам что-либо )," she suggested (предложила она). "They could probably tell us the way to the Emerald City (возможно, они смогут подсказать нам дорогу к Изумрудному Городу)."

"You see," said the Cowardly Lion, with a whimper, "I haven't the courage to keep tramping forever, without getting anywhere at all." Then Dorothy lost heart. She sat down on the grass and looked at her companions, and they sat down and looked at her, and Toto found that for the first time in his life he was too tired to chase a butterfly that flew past his head. So he put out his tongue and panted and looked at Dorothy as if to ask what they should do next.

"Suppose we call the field mice," she suggested. "They could probably tell us the way to the Emerald City."

"To be sure they could (конечно, они смогут; to be sure — конечно: «быть уверенным» )," cried the Scarecrow. "Why didn't we think of that before (почему мы не подумали об этом раньше)?"

Dorothy blew the little whistle (Дороти дунула в маленький свисток; to blow ) she had always carried about her neck (который она всегда носила у себя на шее: «носила вокруг шеи») since the Queen of the Mice had given it to her (с того самого времени, когда Королева мышей дала его ей). In a few minutes they heard the pattering of tiny feet (через несколько минут они услышали шуршание крошечных лапок; patter — стук /дождевых капель/; топотание, легкий топот, шуршание; to patter — барабанить, стучать /о дождевых каплях/; топотать, семенить, шлепать ), and many of the small gray mice came running up to her (и /вскоре/ к ней подбежало множество маленьких серых мышей). Among them was the Queen herself who asked, in her squeaky little voice (среди них была и сама Королева, которая спросила тоненьким писклявым голосом; to squeak — пищать ): "What can I do for my friends (что я могу сделать для своих друзей)?"

"We have lost our way (мы потеряли нашу дорогу = мы заблудились)," said Dorothy. "Can you tell us where the Emerald City is (можешь ли ты сказать нам, где находится Изумрудный Город)?"

"To be sure they could," cried the Scarecrow. "Why didn't we think of that before?" Dorothy blew the little whistle she had always carried about her neck since the Queen of the Mice had given it to her. In a few minutes they heard the pattering of tiny feet, and many of the small gray mice came running up to her. Among them was the Queen herself, who asked, in her squeaky little voice: "What can I do for my friends?"

"We have lost our way," said Dorothy. "Can you tell us where the Emerald City is?"

"Certainly (конечно)," answered the Queen; "but it is a great way off (но он очень далеко), for you have had it at your backs all this time (так как он оставался у вас за спиной все это время)." Then she noticed Dorothy's Golden Cap, and said (затем она заметила Золотую Шапку Дороти и сказала), "Why don't you use the charm of the Cap (почему ты не воспользуешься магическим заклинанием Шапки), and call the Winged Monkeys to you (и не призовешь к себе Крылатых Обезьян)? They will carry you to the City of Oz in less than an hour (они донесут вас до Города Оза менее чем за час)."

"I didn't know there was a charm (а я и не знала, что есть это заклинание)," answered Dorothy, in surprise (удивленно ответила Дороти). "What is it (что это /за заклинание/)?"

"It is written inside the Golden Cap (оно написано внутри Золотой Шапки)," replied the Queen of the Mice (ответила Королева Мышей). "But if you are going to call the Winged Monkeys we must run away (но, если ты собираешься вызвать Крылатых Обезьян, мы должны убежать), for they are full of mischief (ведь они полны /злого/ озорства; mischief — вред, повреждение; озорство, проказы ) and think it great fun to plague us (и думают, что это большое развлечение — мучить нас; fun — веселье; забава, развлечение; plague — мор, эпидемия, чума; мука, неприятность, проблема; to plague — зачумлять, насылать /чуму, бедствие, проклятие и т. п./; изводить, мучить, доводить )."

"Certainly," answered the Queen; "but it is a great way off, for you have had it at your backs all this time." Then she noticed Dorothy's Golden Cap, and said, "Why don't you use the charm of the Cap, and call the Winged Monkeys to you? They will carry you to the City of Oz in less than an hour."

"I didn't know there was a charm," answered Dorothy, in surprise. "What is it?"

"It is written inside the Golden Cap," replied the Queen of the Mice. "But if you are going to call the Winged Monkeys we must run away, for they are full of mischief and think it great fun to plague us."

"Won't they hurt me (а они не причинят мне вреда)?" asked the girl anxiously (обеспокоенно спросила девочка).
