fold [fqVld], melodramatic ["melqdrq'mxtIk], thigh [TaI]

"How do you feel?" she said. She had come out from the tent now after her bath.

"All right."

"Could you eat now?" He saw Molo behind her with the folding table and the other boy with the dishes.

"I want to write," he said.

"You ought to take some broth to keep your strength up."

"I'm going to die tonight," he said. "I don't need my strength up."

"Don't be melodramatic, Harry, please," she said.

"Why don't you use your nose? I'm rotted half way up my thigh now. What the hell should I fool with broth for? Molo bring whiskey-soda."

"Please take the broth," she said gently.

"All right."

The broth was too hot. He had to hold it in the cup until it cooled enough to take it and then he just got it down without gagging.

"You're a fine woman," he said. "Don't pay any attention to me."

She looked at him (она посмотрела на него = повернулась к нему лицом) with her well-known, well-loved face from Spur and Town and Country (/таким/ широко известным, всеми любимым лицом из = со страниц “Шпоры” и “Города и деревни”) only a little the worse for drink (только чуть-чуть хуже = подурневшим от пьянства), only a little the worse for bed (только чуть-чуть подурневшим от любовных утех), but Town and Country never showed those good breasts (но "Город и деревня" никогда не показывал этой красивой груди) and those useful thighs (и этих обхватывающих бедер; useful — полезный; умеющий и готовый помочь) and those lightly small-of-back-caressing hands (и этих легко ласкающих: «ласкающих поясницу» рук; small of the back — поясница; чересла), and as he looked and saw her well known pleasant smile (и, глядя на ее такую знакомую, приятную улыбку), he felt death come again (он снова почувствовал близость смерти). This time there was no rush (на этот раз вихря не было). It was a puff (было легкое дуновение), as of a wind that makes a candle flicker and the flame go tall (как /дуновение/ ветра, от которого свеча = огонь свечи подрагивает, и пламя вытягивается /столбиком/: «становится высоким»).

"They can bring my net out later (позже они могут принести = вели принести сетку) and hang it from the tree (свесить ее с того дерева) and build the fire up (и развести костер; to build up — возводить, сооружать). I'm not going in the tent tonight (сегодня я не буду перебираться в палатку). It's not worth moving (не стоит труда: «движения»). It's a clear night (ночь ясная). There won't be any rain (дождя не будет)."

breast [brest], caress [kq'res], build [bIld]

She looked at him with her well-known, well-loved face from Spur and Town and Country only a little the worse for drink, only a little the worse for bed, but Town and Country never showed those good breasts and those useful thighs and those lightly small-of-back-caressing hands, and as he looked and saw her well known pleasant smile, he felt death come again. This time there was no rush. It was a puff, as of a wind that makes a candle flicker and the flame go tall.

"They can bring my net out later and hang it from the tree and build the fire up. I'm not going in the tent tonight. It's not worth moving. It's a clear night. There won't be any rain."

So this was how you died, in whispers that you did not hear (значит, вот как умирают — в шепоте, который еле различим: «который ты не слышишь»). Well, there would be no more quarrelling (что ж, по крайней мере, ссор больше не будет). He could promise that (это он может пообещать). The one experience that he had never had he was not going to spoil now (он не станет портить то единственное, что он еще никогда не испытывал на себе: «единственное событие/переживание, которого у него никогда не было»; experience — /жизненный/ опыт; случай, событие; впечатление, переживание). He probably would (/но/ наверно, испортит). You spoiled everything (/ведь/ портишь все). But perhaps he wouldn't (а может быть, и не испортит).

"You can't take dictation, can you (ты не умеешь стенографировать; dictation — диктовка; писание под диктовку)?"

"I never learned (я никогда /этому/ не училась)," she told him.

"That's all right (не важно)."

There wasn't time, of course (времени, конечно, /уже/ нет), although it seemed as though it telescoped so that you might put it all into one paragraph (хотя казалось, все сконцентрировалось до таких пределов, что можно уложиться: «вставить это» в один абзац; as though — /как/ будто; to telescope — складывать/ся/; сжимать/ся/; входить друг в друга /как секции раздвижного телескопа/) if you could get it right (если постараться: «если сможешь это сделать правильно/уладить»).

experience [Ik'spIqrIqns], promise ['prOmIs], telescope ['telIskqVp]

There was a log house, chinked white with mortar on a hill above the lake (на холме у озера: «над озером» стоял бревенчатый домик, промазанный по щелям белой известью; chink — длинная щель; to chink — заделывать щели, уплотнять стыки; mortar — известковый раствор; строительный раствор). There was a bell on a pole by the door (возле двери на шесте был колокольчик) to call the people in to meals (чтобы сзывать людей = в который звонили, сзывая всех к столу; meal — принятие пищи; еда). Behind the house were fields (за домом были поля) and behind the fields was the timber (а за полями — лес; timber — лесоматериалы; строевой лес; лес /как объект промышленного использования/). A line of lombardy poplars ran from the house to the dock (от дома к пристани тянулась: «бежала» аллейка пирамидальных тополей; line — веревка; линия, ряд; Lombardy — Ломбардия /область в Северной Италии/; Lombardy poplar — тополь итальянский пирамидальный). Other poplars ran along the point (вдоль мыса тоже росли тополя; point — острие; острая выступающая часть; мыс, выступающая морская коса, стрелка). A road went up to the hills along the edge of the timber (вдоль опушки леса шла дорога в горы) and along that road he picked blackberries (и вдоль = по краям этой дороги он собирал ежевику). Then that log house was burned down (потом бревенчатый домик сгорел) and all the guns that had been on deer foot racks above the open fire place were burned (и все ружья, висевшие на крюках в виде оленьих копыт над камином, /тоже/ сгорели; deer — олень; rack — вешалка) and afterwards their barrels (и потом ружейные стволы; barrel — бочка; ствол, дуло /оружия/), with the lead melted in the magazines (c расплавившимся в магазинных коробках свинцом), and the stocks burned away (и без прикладов: «со сгоревшими прикладами»; stock — главный ствол /дерева/; опора; рукоятка, ручка; ружейная ложа; приклад), lay out on the heap of ashes (лежали в куче золы; to lie) that were used to make lye for the big iron soap kettles (которую использовали, чтобы делать щелок для больших железных мыловаренных котлов; soap — мыло), and you asked Grandfather if you could have them to play with (и ты спросил дедушку, можно ли взять их = эти стволы поиграть), and he said, no (и он сказал нет). You see they were his guns still (ведь это были все еще его ружья) and he never bought any others (а других = новых он так и не купил). Nor did he hunt any more (да и не охотился больше). The house was rebuilt in the same place (дом отстроили: «был отстроен» заново на том же самом месте) out of lumber now (теперь из бруса; lumber — /амер./ обработанный лесоматериал; пиломатериал /обычно прямоугольного сечения/) and painted white (и побелили; to paint — красить) and from its porch you saw the poplars and the lake beyond (и с веранды были видны тополя, а за ними озеро: «озеро позади»); but there were never any more guns (но ружей /в доме/ больше не было). The barrels of the guns that had hung on the deer feet on the wall of the log house lay out there on the heap of ashes (стволы ружей, висевших когда-то на оленьих ножках в бревенчатом домике, лежали на куче золы) and no one ever touched them (и никто теперь не прикасался к ним).

In the Black Forest[19] after the war, we rented a trout stream (В Шварцвальде после войны мы арендовали ручей, в котором водилась форель; trout — форель) and there were two ways to walk to it (и к нему можно было пройти двумя путями). One was down the valley from Triberg (один = первый — /спуститься/ от Триберга в долину) and around the valley road (и /идти/ по дороге через долину) in the shade of the trees that bordered the white road (в тени деревьев, которые окаймляли белую дорогу), and then up a side road that went up through the hills (а потом вверх по тропинке: «боковой дороге», поднимавшейся между холмов) past many small farms, with the big Schwarzwald houses (мимо множества небольших ферм с большими шварцвальдскими домами), until that road crossed the stream (/и так/ до того места, где дорога пересекала ручей). That was where our fishing began (там мы и начали ловить рыбу: «это было /то место/, где наша рыбная ловля началась»).

The other way was to climb steeply up to the edge of the woods (другой путь — /это/ вскарабкаться по круче: «круто вверх» до края леса) and then go across the top of the hills through the pine woods (а потом идти сосновым лесом, через горы: «через верх холмов/гор»), and then out to the edge of a meadow (и так /выходишь/ к лугу: «к краю луга») and down across this meadow to the bridge (и этим лугом вниз до моста). There were birches along the stream (вдоль ручья росли березы) and it was not big, but narrow (он был небольшой, узкий), clear and fast (прозрачный и быстрый), with pools where it had cut under the roots of the birches (с заводями, там, где течение подмыло: «он прорезался под» корни берез; pool — лужа; прудок; заводь; омут). At the Hotel in Triberg the proprietor had a fine season (у хозяина отеля в Триберге выдался прекрасный = удачный сезон). It was very pleasant and we were all great friends (/там/ было очень приятно = хорошо, и мы быстро подружились: «стали все большими друзьями»). The next year came the inflation (на следующий год пришла = началась инфляция) and the money he had made the year before was not enough to buy supplies to open the hotel (и денег, которые он заработал в прошлом году, не хватило /даже/ на покупку продовольствия к открытию отеля: «чтобы открыть отель»; supplies — припасы; продовольствие, провиант; to supply — снабжать; поставлять, доставлять; питать) and he hanged himself (и он повесился).
