Шрифт:
arrival with her wearisome refrain (изъявил о моем приходе своим
утомительным криком; refrain — припев, рефрен).
tiny [`taInI] bark [bRk] human [`hjHmqn] announced [q`naunst] wearisome
[`wIqrIsqm]
1. My foot struck something yielding — it was a sleeper's leg; and he turned
and groaned, but without awaking.
2. And then, all of a sudden, a shrill voice broke forth out of the darkness:
3. 'Pieces of eight! pieces of eight! pieces of eight! pieces of eight! Pieces of
eight!' and so forth, without pause or change like the clacking of a tiny mill.
4. Silver's green parrot, Captain Flint! It was she whom I had heard pecking
at a piece of bark; it was she, keeping better watch than any human being,
who thus announced my arrival with her wearisome refrain.

1. I had no time left me to recover (у меня не было времени прийти в себя). At
the sharp, clipping tone of the parrot (при резком, звонком крике попугая;
clipping — острый, резкий), the sleepers awoke and sprang up (спящие
проснулись и вскочили); and with a mighty oath, the voice of Silver cried (и с
сильный ругательством, голос Сильвер закричал): —
2. 'Who goes (кто идет)?'
3. I turned to run, struck violently against one person (я бросился бежать,
врезался сильно в одного) recoiled, and ran full into the arms of a second, who,
for his part (отшатнулся и побежал прямо в руки другого, который, со своей
стороны), closed upon and held me tight (надвинулся на меня и крепко
схватил).
4. 'Bring a torch, Dick (принеси факел, Дик),' said Silver, when my capture was
thus assured (сказал Сильвер, когда моя поимка была таким образом
обеспечена = когда меня так вот окончательно поймали).
5. And one of the men left the log-house (и один из матросов вышел из сруба),
and presently returned with a lighted brand (и вскоре вернулся с горящей
головешкой).

Captain Silver (капитан Сильвер)
Chapter XXVIII (глава 28)
In the Enemy's Camp (в лагере врага)
THE red glare of the torch, lighting up the interior of the block-house (красный
свет факела, озаряя внутреннее пространство блокгауза; glare —
ослепительный свет, сияние), showed me the worst of my apprehensions
realized (показал мне, что худшие мои дурные предчувствия подтвердились;
apprehension — мрачное предчувствие, опасение; to realize — осуществлять,
претворять в жизнь). The pirates were in possession of the house and stores
(пираты овладели домом и припасами): there was the cask of cognac (тут был и
бочонок с коньяком), there were the pork and bread, as before (и свинина с
сухарями, как и раньше); and, what tenfold increased my horror (и, что
