«No,» said the monk. «I have only fifteen pieces of gold — not a penny more (у меня только пятнадцать золотых монет — и ни пенни больше).»

Robin's men took the monk and his horses to Robin Hood.
«Welcome, friend,» said Robin Hood. «Where are you from?»
«From the Abbey of St. Mary.»
«Do you have four hundred pieces of gold that my friend Sir Richard of the Lee paid to your abbot?» asked Robin.
«No,» said the monk. «I have only fifteen pieces of gold — not a penny more.»
«If that is all you have (если это все, что у тебя есть),» said Robin, «I won't take a penny (то я не возьму ни пенни). And if you need more, you can have it (и если тебе нужно больше, ты это получишь: «ты сможешь получить это»;
Little John looked in the monk's bags (Малыш Джон осмотрел сумки монаха). «It's right (все в порядке;

«If that is all you have,» said Robin, «I won't take a penny. And if you need more, you can have it. But Little John must see.»
Little John looked in the monk's bags.
«It's right,» he said. «He has only fifteen pieces of gold, added to the money the abbot has sent us. The abbot is very kind. He has sent the four hundred pieces of gold the knight borrowed from us, and four hundred more! I have counted eight hundred and fifteen pieces of gold.»
«Thank your abbot (благодари своего аббата),» said Robin Hood. «We will keep the eight hundred pieces of gold (мы оставим себе восемьсот золотых монет), and poor people will be very glad to have it (и бедные люди будут очень счастливы получить их;

«Thank your abbot,» said Robin Hood. «We will keep the eight hundred pieces of gold, and poor people will be very glad to have it. Take your fifteen pieces. I won't take a penny of that.»
The monk rode away, very angry.
Before night fell, Sir Richard of the Lee came to the greenwood tree (прежде чем наступила ночь, сэр Ричард из Ли добрался до того самого дуба;
«I am here, Robin Hood (я здесь, Робин Гуд),» he said. «I have brought the four hundred pieces of gold that I borrowed from you (я привез четыреста золотых монет, которые я у тебя занимал).»

Before night fell, Sir Richard of the Lee came to the greenwood tree.
«I am here, Robin Hood,» he said. «I have brought the four hundred pieces of gold that I borrowed from you.»
Robin Hood said, «The Abbot of St. Mary has paid it for you (настоятель /аббатства/ Святой Марии заплатил их за тебя). I won't take it from you as well as from him (я не возьму их с тебя, после того как я взял их с него: «так же как и с него»). That wouldn't be fair (это будет нечестно;

Robin Hood said, «The Abbot of St. Mary has paid it for you. I won't take it from you as well as from him. That wouldn't be fair. Take back your money, and help poor people with it.» He told Sir Richard about the monk, and the knight laughed.
«I know a lot of poor people, sick yeomen and women and children — who need money (я знаю много бедных людей — больных крестьян, женщин и детей — которые нуждаются в деньгах),» he said.
«Help them (помоги им),» said Robin, «and if you want more money for them, tell me (и если тебе понадобится больше денег для них, скажи мне). We can always get more from rich lords and rich churchmen (мы всегда можем достать еще у богатых феодалов и богатых церковников). — But, tell me, what are those bows and all those arrows for (но, скажи мне, для чего все эти луки и стрелы)?»

«Help them,» said Robin, «and if you want more money for them, tell me. We can always get more from rich lords and rich churchmen. — But, tell me, what are those bows and all those arrows for?»
«They are a present for you and your merry men (это подарок тебе и твоим славным товарищам). My wife and her ladies made the arrows, so they will be good (моя жена и ее служанки сделали стрелы, поэтому они будут бить в цель: «будут хорошими»).»
«Thank you,» said Robin. «And if ever you need help (и если тебе когда-нибудь понадобится помощь), sound your horn three times, like this (проиграй в свой рожок три раза, вот так).» Robin Hood sounded his own horn three times (Робин Гуд продудел в свой собственный рожок три раза), and a hundred men in Lincoln green came running through the forest (и сотня людей в ярко-зеленых костюмах выбежала из леса: «прибежала сквозь лес»).

ROBIN HOOD AND MARIAN
(Робин Гуд и Мэриан)
Some say that Robin Hood was the son of the Earl of Huntingdon (некоторые говорят, что Робин Гуд был сыном графа Хантингдона). As a boy, Robin lived in his father's castle (когда он был маленьким: «мальчиком», Робин жил в замке своего отца) until his father was killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham (до тех пор, пока его отца не убил шериф Ноттингемский: «пока его отец не был убит шерифом»).

Some say that Robin Hood was the son of the Earl of Huntingdon. As a boy, Robin lived in his father's castle until his father was killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Not very far away from the Earl of Huntingdon's castle, Lord Fitzwater had a castle (неподалеку: «не очень далеко» от замка Графа Хантингдона находился замок Лорда Фитцуотера: «Лорд Фитцуотер владел одним замком»). Between the two castles there was a forest (между двумя замками /лежал/ лес). The Earl of Huntingdon's son, Robin, and Lord Fitzwater's daughter, Marian, often met in the forest (сын графа Хантингдона, Робин, и дочь Лорда Фитцуотера, Мэриан, часто встречались в этом лесу).

Not very far away from the Earl of Huntingdon's castle, Lord Fitzwater had a castle. Between the two castles there was a forest. The Earl of Huntingdon's son, Robin, and Lord Fitzwater's daughter, Marian, often met in the forest.
The boy and the girl became friends (мальчик и девочка стали друзьями). Marian was a pretty girl, but she was also strong (Мэриан была прелестной девушкой, но, к тому же, она была сильной). She could use a bow nearly as well as Robin (она могла стрелять из лука: «пользоваться луком» почти столь же хорошо, как и Робин), and he had taught her to use a quarterstaff (и он научил ее, как пользоваться дубинкой;

The boy and the girl became friends. Marian was a pretty girl, but she was also strong. She could use a bow nearly as well as Robin, and he had taught her to use a quarterstaff.
It was a very sad day for Maid Marian (для девицы Мэриан это был очень печальный день;

It was a very sad day for Maid Marian when the Sheriff of Nottingham took the Earl of Huntingdon's castle and made young Robin leave it.
For a few years, she heard nothing about Robin (несколько лет она ничего не слышала о Робине). Then, one day, she heard two men talking about the outlaws of Sherwood Forest (затем однажды она услышала, как двое мужчин разговаривали о разбойниках Шервудского Леса).
«There are more than a hundred of them (их больше сотни человек),» one man said. «They shoot the King's deer (они убивают: «стреляют в» королевских оленей), and they take money from the rich (и отбирают деньги у богатых).»

«There are more than a hundred of them,» one man said. «They shoot the King's deer, and they take money from the rich.»
«Yes,» said his friend, «but they give that money to the poor (но они отдают деньги бедным). And they never take anything from women or from poor people or good yeomen (и они никогда ничего не отбирают у женщин, бедных людей или добрых крестьян).
