accent [`xksqnt] curious [`kjuqrIqs] request [rI`kwest] quays [kJz]

1. I stopped, for, I tell you, I was out of breath, and, to my wonder, not a man

of them moved, but all sat staring at me like as many sheep. And while they

were still staring, I broke out again: —

2. 'And now, Mr. Silver,' I said, 'I believe you're the best man here, and if

things go to the worst, I'll take it kind of you to let the doctor know the way I

took it.'

3. 'I'll bear it in mind,' said Silver, with an accent so curious that I could not,

for the life of me, decide whether he were laughing at my request, or had been

favourably affected by my courage.

4. 'I'll put one to that,' cried the old mahogany-faced seaman — Morgan by

name — whom I had seen in Long John's public house upon the quays of

Bristol. 'It was him that knowed Black Dog.'

1. 'Well, and see here (итак,

послушай),' added the sea-cook (добавил кок). 'I'll

put another again to that, by thunder (я скажу к этому еще одну /вещь/,

/клянусь/ громом)! for it was this same boy that faked the chart from Billy Bones

(это тот самый мальчишка, который утащил карту у Билли Бонса; to fake —

мошенничать, обманывать, грабить). First and last, we've split upon Jim

Hawkins (в общем, мы раскусили Джима Хокинса; to split upon — выдавать

/сообщника/)!'

2. 'Then here goes (тогда приступим = пустим ему кровь)!' said Morgan, with an

oath (сказал Морган и выругался; oath — клятва; божба /уверения,

обращенные к Богу/; богохульство; проклятия, ругательства).

3. And he sprang up, drawing his knife as if he had been twenty (и он вскочил,

вытаскивая нож, словно ему было двадцать /лет/).

4. 'Avast, there (стоп)!' cried Silver (крикнул

Сильвер). 'Who are you, Tom

Morgan (кто ты такой, Том Морган)? Maybe you thought you was cap'n here,

perhaps (может, ты думаешь, ты тут капитан). By the powers, but I'll teach you

better (/клянусь/ силами /неба/, я научу тебя лучшим /манерам/)! Cross me, and

you'll go where many a good man's gone before you (/посмей/ перечить мне, и

отправишься /туда/, куда множество хороших людей ушло до тебя), first and

last, these thirty year back (в общем и целом, за эти тридцать лет /из тех, кто

мне перечил/) — some to the yard-arm, shiver my timbers (одни /отправились/

на рею, разрази меня гром; yard-arm — нок-рея)! And some by the board, and

all to feed the fishes (а другие — за борт, и все /пошли/ кормить рыб). There's

never a man looked me between the eyes and seen 'a good day afterwards, Tom

Morgan, you may lay to that (нет такого человека, который не поладил бы со

мной: «посмотрел между глаз» и увидел бы славный день после того =

остался бы на этом свете, Том Морган, уж ты поверь).
