Now, to tell you the truth (теперь, по правде говоря), from the very first mention of Long John in Squire Trelawney’s letter (с самого первого упоминания о Долговязом Джоне в письме сквайра), I had taken a fear in my mind (я взял страх в свой разум = с ужасом подумал) that he might prove to be the very one-legged sailor (что он может оказаться тем самым одноногим моряком) whom I had watched for so long at the old “Benbow” (которого я выжидал так долго в старом «Бенбоу»). But one look at the man before me was enough (но одного взгляда на человека, /стоявшего/

передо мной, было достаточно). I had seen the captain, and Black Dog, and the blind man Pew (я видел капитана, Черного Пса, слепого Пью), and I thought I knew what a buccaneer was like (и думал, что знаю, на что пират похож) — a very different creature, according to me (очень отличное существо, по моему мнению), from this clean and pleasant-tempered landlord (от этого опрятного и добродушного хозяина; pleasant — приятный, милый).

I plucked up courage at once (я собрался с духом сразу; to pluck — собирать, срывать; courage — храбрость, мужество), crossed the threshold (переступил порог; to cross — пересекать, переходить), and walked right up to the man where he stood (и пошел прямо к нему, где он стоял), propped on his crutch, talking to a customer (опершись на костыль, разговаривая с посетителем).

“Mr. Silver, sir (мистер Сильвер, сэр)?” I asked, holding out the note (я спросил, протягивая записку).

Now, to tell you the truth, from the very first mention of Long John in Squire Trelawney’s letter, I had taken a fear in my mind that he might prove to be the very one-legged sailor whom I had watched for so long at the old “Benbow.” But one look at the man before me was enough. I had seen the captain, and Black Dog, and the blind man Pew, and I thought I knew what a buccaneer was like — a very different creature, according to me, from this clean and pleasant-tempered landlord.

I plucked up courage at once, crossed the threshold, and walked right up to the man where he stood, propped on his crutch, talking to a customer.

“Mr. Silver, sir?” I asked, holding out the note.

“Yes, my lad (да, мой мальчик),” said he; “such is my name, to be sure (таково мое имя, конечно). And who may you be (а кто ты такой: «кем ты можешь быть»)?” And then as he saw the squire’s letter, he seemed to me to give something almost like a start (увидев письмо сквайра, мне показалось, он вроде бы вздрогнул).

“Oh!” said he, quite loud, and offering his hand (сказал он, довольно громко, протягивая: «предлагая» свою руку), “I see (понятно). You are our new cabin-boy (ты наш новый юнга); pleased I am to see you (рад видеть тебя).”

And he took my hand in his large firm grasp (он взял мою руку в большой крепкий хват = сильно сжал).

Just then one of the customers at the far side rose suddenly and made for the door (сразу же после этого один из посетителей, /сидевший/ в дальнем углу, встал вдруг и устремился к двери). It was close by him (она была рядом с ним), and he was out in the street in a moment (и он был на улице

через мгновение). But his hurry had attracted my notice (но его торопливость привлекла мое внимание), and I recognised him at a glance (и я сразу же узнал его). It was the tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers (это был человек с бледным одутловатым лицом, без двух пальцев), who had come first to the “Admiral Benbow” (который первым приходил в «Адмирал Бенбоу»).

But his hurry had attracted my notice, and I recognised him at a glance. It was the tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers, who had come first to the “Admiral Benbow.”

“Oh,” I cried, “stop him (остановите = держите его)! it’s Black Dog (это Черный Пес)!”

“I don’t care two coppers who he is (мне наплевать, кто он; copper — медная монета),” cried Silver. “But he hasn’t paid his score (но он не расплатился; score — долг, счет). Harry, run and catch him (Гарри, беги и поймай его).”

One of the others who was nearest the door leaped up, and started in pursuit (один из остальных, который был ближайшим к двери, вскочил и отправился в погоню).

“If he were Admiral Hawke he shall pay his score (/даже/ если бы он был = будь он хоть адмиралом Хоком, он заплатит),” cried Silver; and then, relinquishing my hand (затем, отпуская мою руку; to relinquish — ослаблять /хватку/, разжимать /руки/, выпускать /из рук/) — “Who did you say he was (как, ты сказал, его звали)?” he asked. “Black what (Черный кто)?”

“Dog, sir,” said I. “Has Mr. Trelawney not told you of the buccaneers (/разве/ мистер Трелони не рассказал вам о пиратах)? He was one of them (он был одним из них).”

“So (что)?” cried Silver. “In my house (в моем доме)! Ben, run and help Harry (Бен, беги и помоги Гарри). One of those swabs, was he (один из тех увальней, он был /говоришь/)? Was that you drinking with him, Morgan (это с ним ты пил, Морган)? Step up here (подойди-ка сюда).”
