suppose [sq'pqVz], alcohol ['xlkqhOl], thought [TLt]

"What about a drink?"

"It's supposed to be bad for you. It said in Black's to avoid all alcohol. You shouldn't drink."

"Molo!" he shouted.

'Yes Bwana."

"Bring whiskey-soda."

"Yes Bwana."

"You shouldn't," she said. "That's what I mean by giving up. It says it's bad for you. I know it's bad for you."

"No," he said. "It's good for me."

So now it was all over, he thought. So now he would never have a chance to finish it. So this was the way it ended in a bickering over a drink. Since the gangrene started in his right leg he had no pain and with the pain the horror had gone and all he felt now was a great tiredness and anger that this was the end of it. For this, that now was coming, he had very little curiosity. For years it had obsessed him; but now it meant nothing in itself. It was strange how easy being tired enough made it.

Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write (теперь он /уже/ никогда не напишет /тех/ вещей, что он приберегал: «сберегал, чтобы /позже/ написать») until he knew enough to write them well (до тех пор, пока он не будет знать достаточно, чтобы написать их хорошо = пока не будет уверен, что напишет их хорошо). Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either (что ж, зато ему не придется потерпеть неудачу, пытаясь их написать; to fail — подводить, не оправдать ожиданий; терпеть неудачу; either — и тот и другой; /в отриц. предложениях/ также, тоже ). Maybe you could never write them (может быть, он все равно не смог бы их написать; you — зд. в знач. неопр. местоимения, т. е. если не можешь писать, то и откладываешь ), and that was why you put them off (и вот почему = поэтому он их и откладывал) and delayed the starting (и медлил с началом /работы над ними/). Well he would never know, now (впрочем, теперь он /этого/ никогда не узнает).

"I wish we'd never come (лучше бы мы сюда не приезжали; to wish — желать, хотеть )," the woman said (сказала женщина). She was looking at him holding the glass and biting her lip (она смотрела на стакан у него в руке: «на него, державшего стакан» и кусала губы). "You never would have gotten anything like this in Paris (в Париже ничего подобного с тобой бы не случилось; to get — получить; нажить /неприятности/, навлекать на себя ). You always said you loved Paris (ты всегда говорил, что любишь Париж). We could have stayed in Paris or gone anywhere (мы могли остаться в Париже или уехать куда-нибудь еще). I'd have gone anywhere (я бы поехала куда угодно). I said I'd go anywhere you wanted (я /же/ говорила, что поеду, куда только ты захочешь). If you wanted to shoot (если тебе хотелось поохотиться: «пострелять») we could have gone shooting in Hungary and been comfortable (мы могли бы поехать в Венгрию, и с нами все было бы в порядке; to be comfortable — чувствовать себя уютно )."

"Your bloody money (/это все/ твои чертовы деньги)," he said.

"That's not fair (это несправедливо)," she said. "It was always yours as much as mine (они всегда были столько же твои, сколько и мои). I left everything and I went wherever you wanted to go (я все бросила и ездила /за тобой/ всюду, куда тебе хотелось; to leave ) and I've done what you wanted to do (и я делала все, что тебе хотелось). But I wish we'd never come here (но сюда не надо было приезжать).

enough [I'nAf], Hungary ['hANgqrI], wherever [we(q)'revq]

Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.

"I wish we'd never come," the woman said. She was looking at him holding the glass and biting her lip. "You never would have gotten anything like this in Paris. You always said you loved Paris. We could have stayed in Paris or gone anywhere. I'd have gone anywhere. I said I'd go anywhere you wanted. If you wanted to shoot we could have gone shooting in Hungary and been comfortable."

"Your bloody money," he said.

"That's not fair," she said. "It was always yours as much as mine. I left everything and I went wherever you wanted to go and I've done what you wanted to do. But I wish we'd never come here."

"You said you loved it (ты /же/ говорила, что тебе это = здесь нравится)."

"I did when you were all right (мне нравилось, когда ты был здоров). But now I hate it (а сейчас здесь невыносимо: «я ненавижу это»). I don't see why that had to happen to your leg (не понимаю, почему это должно было случиться с твоей ногой; to see — видеть; понимать, постигать ). What have we done to have that happen to us (что мы такое сделали, /из-за чего/ это случилось с нами)?"

"I suppose what I did was to forget to put iodine on it (я думаю, я сделал вот что: /сначала/ забыл помазать ее = ногу йодом; to put — класть, прикладывать; наносить ) when I first scratched it (как только ее оцарапал). Then I didn't pay any attention to it (потом совершенно не обращал на нее внимания) because I never infect (потому что до сих пор никакая инфекция ко мне не приставала). Then, later, when it got bad (потом, позже, когда стало плохо = нога разболелась), it was probably using that weak carbolic solution (/что я сделал неправильно/ — это, наверное, /то, что я/ использовал слабый раствор карболки) when the other antiseptics ran out (когда другие антисептики закончились; to run out — выбегать; кончаться, иссякать ) that paralyzed the minute blood vessels and started the gangrene (что парализовало мелкие сосуды и вызвало гангрену = от этого закупорились мелкие сосуды и началась гангрена)." He looked at her (он взглянул на нее), "What else (что еще)?"

"I don't mean that (я не об этом; to mean — подразумевать, иметь в виду )."

iodine ['aIqdJn], carbolic [kR'bOlIk], blood [blAd]

"You said you loved it."

"I did when you were all right. But now I hate it. I don't see why that had to happen to your leg. What have we done to have that happen to us?"

"I suppose what I did was to forget to put iodine on it when I first scratched it. Then I didn't pay any attention to it because I never infect. Then, later, when it got bad, it was probably using that weak carbolic solution when the other antiseptics ran out that paralyzed the minute blood vessels and started the gangrene." He looked at her, "What else?"

"I don't mean that."

"If we would have hired a good mechanic instead of a half baked kikuyu driver (если бы мы наняли хорошего механика/шофера, вместо = а не /какого-то/ водителя-недоучку из туземцев; half baked — наполовину испеченный, недопеченный; неискушенный, неопытный; Kikuyu — кикуйю /народ, живущий в Вост. Африке/ ), he would have checked the oil (он проверил бы масло = уровень масла) and never burned out that bearing in the truck (и не пережег бы тот подшипник в грузовике; bearing — ношение; опора; подшипник; to bear — носить, нести )."

"I don't mean that (я не об этом)."

"If you hadn't left your own people (если бы ты не бросила людей своего круга; people — люди /одной профессии, одной социальной группы/ ), your goddamned Old Westbury, Saratoga, Palm Beach [1] Old Westbury, Saratoga, Palm Beach — фешенебельные курорты в США. people (твоих чертовых приятелей из Оулд-Уэстбери, Саратоги, Палм-Бич; goddamned — /эмоц.-усил./ проклятый, чертов: «богом проклятый» ) to take me on (чтобы возиться со мной; to take on — взять на себя /ответственность и т. п./ ) —"

"Why, I loved you (да ведь я любила тебя). That's not fair (это несправедливо). I love you now (и сейчас люблю). I'll always love you (я всегда буду тебя любить). Don't you love me (/разве/ ты меня не любишь)?"

"No," said the man. "I don't think so (по-моему, нет: «не думаю так»). I never have (никогда не любил)."

"Harry, what are you saying (что ты говоришь, Гарри)? You're out of your head (ты сошел с ума; head — голова )."

"No. I haven't any head to go out of (мне и сходить не с чего)."

"Don't drink that (не пей этого)," she said. "Darling, please don't drink that (милый, пожалуйста, не пей). We have to do everything we can (мы должны сделать все, что можем = в наших силах)."

"You do it (делай ты)," he said. "I'm tired (я устал)."

"I don't mean that."

"If you hadn't left your own people, your goddamned Old Westbury, Saratoga, Palm Beach people to take me on —"

"Why, I loved you. That's not fair. I love you now. I'll always love you. Don't you love me?"

"No," said the man. "I don't think so. I never have."

"Harry, what are you saying? You're out of your head."

"No. I haven't any head to go out of."

"Don't drink that," she said. "Darling, please don't drink that. We have to do everything we can."

"You do it," he said. "I'm tired."
