“And you returned — when (и когда вы возвратились)?”
“One of my bells rang, Monsieur (один из моих колокольчиков/звонков зазвенел, мсье) — I remember (я помню) — I told you (я /уже/ говорил вам). It was the American lady (это была американская дама). She had rung several times (она позвонила несколько раз; time — время; раз, случай).”
“I recollect (я припоминаю),” said Poirot. “And after that (и после этого)?”
colleague ['kOli:g] exactly [Ig'z&ktlI] recollect [,ri:k@'lekt]
“I went into the next coach, the Athens coach, to speak to my colleague there. We spoke about the snow. That was at some time soon after one o’clock. I cannot say exactly.”
“And you returned — when?”
“One of my bells rang, Monsieur — I remember — I told you. It was the American lady. She had rung several times.”
“I recollect,” said Poirot. “And after that?”
“After that, Monsieur (после
“Was Mr. MacQueen alone in his compartment (мистер Маккуин был один в своем купе) when you went to make up his bed (когда вы пришли стелить его постель)?”
“The English Colonel from No. 15 was with him (с ним был английский полковник из купе №15). They had been sitting talking (они сидели и разговаривали).”
brought [brO:t] mineral ['mIn(@)r@l] colonel ['k@:n(@)l]
“After that, Monsieur? I answered your bell and brought you some mineral water. Then, about half an hour later, I made up the bed in one of the other compartments — that of the young American gentleman, Mr. Ratchett’s secretary.”
“Was Mr. MacQueen alone in his compartment when you went to make up his bed?”
“The English Colonel from No. 15 was with him. They had been sitting talking.”
“What did the Colonel do (что делал полковник) when he left Mr. MacQueen (когда он ушел от Маккуина)?”
“He went back to his own compartment (он вернулся в свое купе).”
“No. 15 (/купе/ номер 15) — that is quite close to your seat, is it not (это очень близко с вашим местом, не так ли)?”
“Yes, Monsieur, it is the second compartment (это второе купе) from that end of the corridor (с того конца коридора).”
“His bed was already made up (его постель уже была застелена)?”
“Yes, Monsieur. I had made it up (я застелил ее) while he was at dinner (пока он ужинал).”
“What time was all this (в какое время все это происходило)?”
“I could not say exactly, Monsieur (я не могу сказать точно, мсье). Not later than two o’clock certainly (но несомненно, не позже чем два часа /ночи/).”

“After that, Monsieur, I sat in my seat till morning (я сидел на своем месте до самого утра).”
“You did not go again (вы больше не пошли; again — снова, вновь, опять) into the Athens coach (в афинский вагон)?”
“No, Monsieur.”
“Perhaps you slept (возможно вы заснули; to sleep (slept) — спать)?”
“I do not think so, Monsieur (не думаю, мсье). The train being at a standstill (то что поезд стоял; standstill — остановка, пауза) prevented me from dozing off (помешало мне задремать; to prevent /from/ — предотвращать; мешать, не допускать; doze — дремота; to doze — дремать, клевать носом) as I usually do (как я обычно делаю).”
standstill ['st&nd,stIl] prevent [prI'vent] usually ['ju:ZU@lI, 'ju:Z(@)lI]
“And after that?”
“After that, Monsieur, I sat in my seat till morning.”
“You did not go again into the Athens coach?”

“Did you see any of the passengers (вы не видели, как кто-нибудь из пассажиров) moving up or down the corridor (проходил: «двигался» по коридору в какую-либо сторону; up and down — вверх и вниз; взад и вперед, туда и сюда)?”
The man reflected (проводник задумался; to reflect — отражать; размышлять, раздумывать). “One of the ladies went to the toilet (одна из дам ходила в туалет; toilet — туалет, одевание; туалет, уборная) at the far end, I think (/расположенный/ в дальнем конце /вагона/, мне кажется).”
“Which lady (какая дама)?”
“I do not know, Monsieur (я не знаю, мсье). It was far down the corridor (это было далеко по коридору) and she had her back to me (и она была спиной ко мне). She had on a kimono of scarlet (на ней было алое кимоно; to have (had) on — быть одетым /во что-либо/: «иметь на /себе/») with dragons on it (с драконами /на нем/).”
Poirot nodded (Пуаро кивнул).
“And after that? (а после этого)”
“Nothing, Monsieur, until the morning (ничего, мсье, до самого утра).”
toilet ['tOIlIt] kimono [kI'm@Un@U] dragon ['dr&g@n]
