Английский язык с Р.Л. Стивенсоном. Остров сокровищ
Шрифт:
лежала сломанная в яме); he had carried it on his back, in many weary journeys
(он перенес их на спине за время многочисленных утомительных рейсов),
from the foot of the tall pine to a cave he had on the two-pointed hill at the north-
east angle of the island (от подножия высокой сосны в пещеру, которая у него
была в двуглавом холме в северо-восточной части острова; angle — угол), and
there it had lain stored in safety since two months before the arrival of the
Hispaniola (и
Испаньолы; to store — хранить, сохранять; убирать на хранение).
2. When the doctor had wormed this secret from him, on the afternoon of the attack
(когда доктор выведал у него эту тайну, в день атаки /на блокгауз/; to worm —
ползти, проникать; выведывать; worm — червяк, червь), and when, next
morning he saw the anchorage deserted (и когда на следующее утро он увидел,
что стоянка покинута /кораблем/), he had gone to Silver, given him the chart,
which was now useless (он отправился к Сильверу, отдал ему карту, которая
была теперь бесполезной) — given him the stores, for Ben Gunn's cave was well
supplied with goats' meat salted by himself (отдал ему припасы, так как пещера
Бена Ганна набита: «хорошо снабжена» козлиным мясом, засоленным им
самим = соленой козлятиной) — given anything and everything to get a chance
of moving in safety from the stockade to the two-pointed hill (отдал все, чтобы
иметь возможность перебраться в безопасности из крепости на двуглавый

be clear of malaria and keep a guard upon the money (чтобы быть подальше от
малярии = от болот и /там/ охранять сокровища; clear of — в стороне, на
расстоянии).

1. Ben, in his long, lonely wanderings about the island, had found the skeleton
— it was he that had rifled it; he had found the treasure; he had dug it up (it
was the haft of his pickaxe that lay broken in the excavation); he had carried
it on his back, in many weary journeys, from the foot of the tall pine to a cave
he had on the two-pointed hill at the north-east angle of the island, and there
it had lain stored in safety since two months before the arrival of the
Hispaniola.

(это было против моего сердца = мне было очень тяжело), but I did what I
thought best for those who had stood by their duty (но я делал то, что считал
лучшим для тех, кто готов выполнять свой долг); and if you were not one of
these, whose fault was it (а если ты не был одним из них, чья это вина)?'

2. That morning, finding that I was to be involved in the horrid disappointment he
had prepared for the mutineers (в то утро, обнаружив, что мне придется быть
втянутым в ужасное разочарование, которое он приготовил для мятежников;
to involve — втягивать, вовлекать), he had run all the way to the cave (он
бежал до самой пещеры), and, leaving the squire to guard the captain (и,
оставляя сквайра охранять капитана), had taken Gray and the maroon, and
started, making the diagonal across the island (взял Грея и отшельника и
отправился наперерез через остров; diagonal — диагональ, косая линия), to be
at hand beside the pine (чтобы быть близко около сосны). Soon, however, he
