Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море

The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes (старик посмотрел на него своими воспаленными от солнца доверчивыми любящими глазами; confident — уверенный; доверительный).

"If you were my boy (если бы ты был моим сыном: «мальчиком») I'd take you out and gamble (я бы взял тебя и рискнул = рискнул бы взять тебя с собой; to gamble — играть в азартные игры; держать пари; пуститься в рискованное предприятие)," he said. "But you are your father's and your mother's (но ты /сын/ своего отца и матери) and you are in a lucky boat (и ты в счастливой/удачливой лодке)."

everything ['evrITIN], together [tq'geDq], confident ['kOnfIdqnt]

"Can you really remember that or did I just tell it to you?"

"I remember everything from when we first went together."

The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes.

"If you were my boy I'd take you out and gamble," he said. "But you are your father's and your mother's and you are in a lucky boat."

"May I get the sardines (можно я достану сардин = схожу за сардинами)? I know where I can get four baits too (я также знаю, где я могу достать четыре наживки)."

"I have mine left from today (у меня есть свои, оставшиеся сегодня). I put them in salt in the box (я положил их в соль в коробку = в коробку с солью)."

"Let me get four fresh ones (давай я принесу четыре свежих /наживки/)."

"One (одну)," the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone (его надежда и уверенность никогда не уходили = не пропадали). But now they were freshening as when the breeze rises (но теперь они возрождались: «освежались», словно подул свежий ветер /с моря/).

bait [beIt], salt [sLlt], breeze [brJz]

"May I get the sardines? I know where I can get four baits too."

"I have mine left from today. I put them in salt in the box."

"Let me get four fresh ones."

"One," the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone. But now they were freshening as when the breeze rises.

"Two," the boy said.

"Two," the old man agreed (согласился старик). "You didn't steal them (ты не украл их)?"

"I would (я бы украл)," the boy said. "But I bought these (но этих купил)."

"Thank you," the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained humility (он был слишком прост, чтобы размышлять, когда он приобрел смирение; to wonder — удивляться, размышлять, задаваться вопросом; to attain — достигать). But he knew he had attained it (но он знал, что приобрел его) and he knew it was not disgraceful (и он знал, что это не было позорным) and it carried no loss of true pride (и не несло никакой потери истинной гордости)."Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this current (завтра будет хороший день с таким течением)," he said.

wonder ['wAndq], attain [q'teIn], humility [hjH'mIlItI]

"Two," the boy said.

"Two," the old man agreed. "You didn't steal them?"

"I would," the boy said. "But I bought these."

"Thank you," the old man said. He was too simple to wonder when he had attained humility. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride."Tomorrow is going to be a good day with this current," he said.

"Where are you going (куда ты пойдешь /ловить/)?" the boy asked.

"Far out to come in when the wind shifts (далеко, а вернусь, когда переменится ветер). I want to be out before it is light (я хочу выйти засветло: «перед тем, как будет светло»)."

"I'll try to get him to work far out (я попробую уговорить его поработать подальше)," the boy said. "Then if you hook something truly big (тогда, если ты поймаешь: «зацепишь» что-нибудь действительно большое) we can come to your aid (мы смогли бы прийти к тебе на помощь)."

"Where are you going?" the boy asked.

"Far out to come in when the wind shifts. I want to be out before it is light."

"I'll try to get him to work far out," the boy said. "Then if you hook something truly big we can come to your aid."

"He does not like to work too far out (он не любит заходить слишком далеко)."

"No," the boy said. "But I will see something that he cannot see (но я увижу что-нибудь, чего он не может видеть) such as a bird working (например, работающих птиц = птиц, ловящих рыбу) and get him to come out after dolphin (и уговорю его выйти подальше за дорадо; dolphin — дельфин; дорадо, большая корифена /рыба/)."

"Are his eyes that bad (у него настолько плохи глаза)?"

"He is almost blind (он почти слепой)."

dolphin ['dOlfIn], blind [blaInd], eye [aI]

"He does not like to work too far out."

"No," the boy said. "But I will see something that he cannot see such as a bird working and get him to come out after dolphin."

"Are his eyes that bad?"

"He is almost blind."

"It is strange (странно)," the old man said. "He never went turtle-ing (он никогда не ходил за черепахами). That is what kills the eyes (именно это убивает глаза = портит зрение)."

"But you went turtle-ing for years off the Mosquito Coast and your eyes are good (но ты ходил за черепахами годами к Москитному берегу, и твои глаза в порядке)."

"I am a strange old man (я необыкновенный/странный старик)."

turtle [tWtl], Mosquito [mqs'kItqu], coast [kqust]

"It is strange," the old man said. "He never went turtle-ing. That is what kills the eyes."

"But you went turtle-ing for years off the Mosquito Coast and your eyes are good."

"I am a strange old man."

"But are you strong enough now for a truly big fish (а ты достаточно силен для действительно большой рыбы)?"

"I think so (думаю, да: «думаю так»). And there are many tricks (тут главное сноровка: «есть много ловких приемов»; trick — уловка; сноровка, ловкий прием)."

"Let us take the stuff home (давай отнесем снасти домой; stuff — материя; хлам; вещи)," the boy said. "So I can get the cast net and go after the sardines (потом я возьму сеть и схожу за сардинами; cast net — сеть, которую забрасывают и вытягивают /в отличие от той, которую оставляют на продолжительное время/; to cast — бросать, забрасывать)."

enough [I'nAf], cast [kRst], sardine [sR'dJn]

"But are you strong enough now for a truly big fish?"

"I think so. And there are many tricks."

"Let us take the stuff home," the boy said. "So I can get the cast net and go after the sardines."

They picked up the gear from the boat (они подняли снасти из лодки). The old man carried the mast on his shoulder (старик нес мачту на своем плече) and the boy carried the wooden box with the coiled, hard-braided brown lines (а мальчик нес деревянный ящик с мотками туго сплетенной коричневой лесы; to braid — оплетать, обматывать), the gaff (багор) and the harpoon with its shaft (и гарпун с рукояткой). The box with the baits was under the stern of the skiff (ящик с наживкой остался: «был» на корме шлюпки) along with the club (вместе с дубинкой) that was used to subdue the big fish (которую использовали, чтобы оглушить рыбу; to subdue — подавлять /физически/) when they were brought alongside (когда ее вы вытаскивали на поверхность; alongside — у борта). No one would steal from the old man (никто не украл бы у старика) but it was better to take the sail and the heavy lines home (но было лучше забрать паруса и тяжелые снасти домой) as the dew was bad for them (так как роса плоха для них = чтобы они не отсырели от росы) and, though he was quite sure no local people would steal from him (и хотя он был вполне уверен, что никто из местных не украдет у него), the old man thought that a gaff and a harpoon were needless temptations to leave in a boat (старик думал, что оставлять багор и гарпун в лодке — лишнее искушение).

gear [gIq], shoulder ['Squldq], though [Dqu]

The old man carried the mast on his shoulder and the boy carried the wooden box with the coiled, hard-braided brown lines, the gaff and the harpoon with its shaft.

They walked up the road together to the old man's shack (они поднялись по дороге к хижине старика; shack — лачуга, хижина) and went in through its open door (и вошли внутрь через ее открытые двери). The old man leaned the mast with its wrapped sail against the wall (старик прислонил мачту с обмотанным вокруг нее парусом к стене) and the boy put the box and the other gear beside it (а мальчик положил ящик и другое оборудование =снасти рядом /с мачтой/). The mast was nearly as long as the one room of the shack (мачта была практически такой же длины, что и комната лачуги). The shack was made of the tough bud shields of the royal palm which are called guano (хижина была сделана из крепких листьев королевской пальмы, которая называется гуано; bud — почка) and in it there was a bed (и внутри была кровать), a table (стол), one chair (один стул), and a place on the dirt floor to cook with charcoal (и место = выемка на грязном полу, где готовилась еда на древесном угле). On the brown walls of the flattened, overlapping leaves of the sturdy fibered guano (на коричневых стенах из сплющенных заходящих один на другой листьев прочных волокон гуано; flattened — сплющенный; sturdy — прочный, крепкий; fiber — древесное волокно) there was a picture in color of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (висела: «была» цветная картина Священного Сердца Иисуса = Сердца Господня) and another of the Virgin of Cobre (и другая — /Святая/ Дева из Кобре). These were relics of his wife (они принадлежали его жене; relic — след, остаток). Once there had been a tinted photograph of his wife on the wall (раньше на стене еще висела раскрашенная фотография его жены; to tint — окрашивать) but he had taken it down because it made him too lonely to see it (но он ее снял, потому что смотреть на нее было слишком одиноко = тоскливо; to take down) and it was on the shelf in the corner under his clean shirt (и она теперь была на полке в углу под его чистой рубашкой).

"What do you have to eat (что у тебя есть поесть)?" the boy asked.

"A pot of yellow rice with fish (чашка желтого риса с рыбой). Do you want some (хочешь немного)?"

"No. I will eat at home (я поем дома). Do you want me to make the fire (хочешь, я разведу огонь)?"

"No. I will make it later on (я разведу его позже). Or I may eat the rice cold (или же я могу съесть рис холодным)."

"May I take the cast net (можно взять сеть)?"

"Of course (конечно)."

There was no cast net and the boy remembered when they had sold it (никакой сети не было, и мальчик помнил, когда они ее продали). But they went through this fiction every day (но они проходили через эту выдумку каждый день). There was no pot of yellow rice and fish and the boy knew this too (не было чашки с желтым рисом и рыбой, и мальчик об этом тоже знал).

through [Tru:], fiction [fIkSn], yellow ['jelqu]

"What do you have to eat?" the boy asked.

"A pot of yellow rice with fish. Do you want some?"

"No. I will eat at home. Do you want me to make the fire?"

"No. I will make it later on. Or I may eat the rice cold."
