Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Собака Баскервилей (ASCII-IPA)
Шрифт:
"We are going too far (мы уходим слишком далеко)," said Holmes. "We dare not take the chance (мы не смеем рисковать) of his being overtaken before he can reach us (/тем, что/ его догонят прежде, чем он доберется до нас; to overtake). At all costs we must hold our ground where we are (в любом случае мы должны остаться там, где мы есть; at all costs — любой ценой, во что бы то ни стало; to hold one’s ground — стоять на своем; держаться)." He dropped on his knees (он опустился на колени; to drop — капать; падать, опускаться) and clapped his ear to the ground (и быстро припал ухом к земле; to clap — хлопать; сделать быстрое, энергичное движение). "Thank Heaven (хвала небу), I think that I hear him coming (я думаю, что слышу его шаги: «что он идет»)."

"If he isn't out in a quarter of an hour the path will be covered. In half an hour we won't be able to see our hands in front of us."
"Shall we move farther back upon higher ground?"
"Yes, I think it would be as well."
So as the fog-bank flowed onwards we fell back before it until we were half a mile from the house, and still that dense white sea, with the moon silvering its upper edge, swept slowly and inexorably on.
"We are going too far," said Holmes. "We dare not take the chance of his being overtaken before he can reach us. At all costs we must hold our ground where we are." He dropped on his knees and clapped his ear to the ground. "Thank Heaven, I think that I hear him coming."
A sound of quick steps broke the silence of the moor (звук
stare [stE@], emerge [i:'m@:dZ], ease [i:z]
A sound of quick steps broke the silence of the moor. Crouching among the stones we stared intently at the silver-tipped bank in front of us. The steps grew louder, and through the fog, as through a curtain, there stepped the man whom we were awaiting. He looked round him in surprise as he emerged into the clear, star-lit night. Then he came swiftly along the path, passed close to where we lay, and went on up the long slope behind us. As he walked he glanced continually over either shoulder, like a man who is ill at ease.
"Hist!" cried Holmes (тише! — воскликнул Холмс; hist — тише!, тс!), and I heard the sharp click of a cocking pistol (и я услышал резкий щелчок взводимого курка пистолета). "Look out! It's coming (смотрите, она идет)!"
There was a thin, crisp, continuous patter (/послышался/ слабый хрустящий дробный: «непрерывный» топот) from somewhere in the heart of that crawling bank (откуда-то из глубины: «из сердца» наползающей массы /тумана/). The cloud was within fifty yards (его облако было в пятидесяти ярдах) of where we lay (/от того места/, где мы прятались), and we glared at it, all three uncertain (и мы все втроем пристально всматривались в него, не зная; to glare — ослепительно сверкать; пристально смотреть), what horror was about to break from the heart of it (что за ужасное /существо/ собиралось выскочить оттуда: «из его сердцевины/средоточия»). I was at Holmes's elbow (я стоял рядом с Холмсом; at one’s elbow — поблизости, рядом; elbow — локоть), and I glanced for an instant at his face (и на мгновение взглянул на его лицо). It was pale and exultant (оно было бледным и торжествующим), his eyes shining brightly in the moonlight (его глаза ярко сияли в лунном свете). But suddenly they started forward in a rigid, fixed stare (но вдруг Холмс подался вперед с суровым, твердым взглядом; to start — начинать; бросаться, кидаться; rigid — жесткий, негнущийся; суровый), and his lips parted in amazement (а рот открылся от изумления; lips — губы; to part — расставаться; разделяться). At the same instant Lestrade gave a yell of terror (в тот же миг Лестрейд, издав крик ужаса) and threw himself face downwards upon the ground (бросился лицом вниз на землю; to throw). I sprang to my feet (я вскочил), my inert hand grasping my pistol (моя неповоротливая рука сжала /рукоятку/ пистолета; inert — инертный; медлительный, неповоротливый), my mind paralyzed by the dreadful shape (мой мозг парализовало /при виде/ чудовищного призрака) which had sprung out upon us from the shadows of the fog (который выпрыгнул на нас из «тени» тумана). A hound it was (это была собака), an enormous coal-black hound (громадная угольно-черная собака), but not such a hound (но не такая собака) as mortal eyes have ever seen (которую когда-либо видели глаза смертного). Fire burst from its open mouth (огонь вырывался из ее открытой пасти; mouth — рот; пасть), its eyes glowed with a smouldering glare (ее глаза излучали неугасимое сияние; to glow — светиться; glare — яркий свет), its muzzle and hackles and dewlap (ее морда, загривок и грудь; dewlap — складка свисающей вокруг гортани кожи) were outlined in flickering flame (были очерчены мерцающим пламенем). Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain (никогда в бредовых снах больного мозга; disordered — беспорядочный; больной) could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived (нельзя вообразить ничего более ужасающего, более дьявольского) than that dark form and savage face (чем эти темные очертания и свирепая морда; form — форма; очертания; savage — дикий; свирепый; face — лицо; морда /животного/) which broke upon us out of the wall of fog (которые выскочили на нас из стены тумана).

CHAPTER XIV. (continued)
(продолжение)
WITH long bounds (длинными
bound [baund], hideous ['hIdI@s], horror ['hOr@]
WITH long bounds the huge black creature was leaping down the track, following hard upon the footsteps of our friend. So paralyzed were we by the apparition that we allowed him to pass before we had recovered our nerve. Then Holmes and I both fired together, and the creature gave a hideous howl, which showed that one at least had hit him. He did not pause, however, but bounded onwards. Far away on the path we saw Sir Henry looking back, his face white in the moonlight, his hands raised in horror, glaring helplessly at the frightful thing which was hunting him down.
But that cry of pain from the hound (но тот вой от боли, /который издала/ собака) had blown all our fears to the winds (развеял по ветру все наши страхи; to blow — дуть; веять). If he was vulnerable he was mortal (если она была уязвима, /значит/ она была смертна), and if we could wound him (и если мы могли ее ранить) we could kill him (/значит/ мы могли ее убить). Never have I seen a man run (никогда я не видел, чтобы человек /так/ бежал) as Holmes ran that night (как бежал Холмс той ночью). I am reckoned fleet of foot (я считаюсь хорошим бегуном; fleet of foot — быстроногий), but he outpaced me as much (но он обогнал меня настолько же; to outpace — опережать) as I outpaced the little professional (насколько я обогнал маленького полицейского: «профессионала»). In front of us as we flew up the track (перед собой, когда мы неслись по тропинке; to fly — летать; быстро проходить) we heard scream after scream from Sir Henry (мы услышали несколько криков: «крик за криком» сэра Генри) and the deep roar of the hound (и низкий рев собаки). I was in time to see (я успел вовремя, чтобы увидеть; to be in time — успевать) the beast spring upon its victim (как собака прыгнула на свою жертву), hurl him to the ground (швырнула его на землю), and worry at his throat (и нацелилась на его горло; to worry — беспокоиться; разрывать, раздирать /особенно о волках и собаках/). But the next instant Holmes had (но в последний момент Холмс) emptied five barrels of his revolver (выпустил пять пуль из своего револьвера; to empty — опорожнять; опустошать; barrel — бочка; полость в барабане /под патрон/) into the creature's flank (в бок существа). With a last howl of agony (в последний раз взвыв в агонии) and a vicious snap in the air (и злобно щелкнув /зубами/ в воздухе; to snap — щелкать; смыкать челюсти) it rolled upon its back (она перевернулась на спину; to roll — катиться, вращаться), four feet pawing furiously (бешено дрыгая /всеми/ четырьмя лапами; to paw — скрести лапой; наносить сильные удары, молотить), and then fell limp upon its side (затем медленно повалилась набок; limp — мягкий; безвольный).
vulnerable ['vVln(@)r@bl], wound [wu:nd], agony ['&g@nI]
But that cry of pain from the hound had blown all our fears to the winds. If he was vulnerable he was mortal, and if we could wound him we could kill him. Never have I seen a man run as Holmes ran that night. I am reckoned fleet of foot, but he outpaced me as much as I outpaced the little professional. In front of us as we flew up the track we heard scream after scream from Sir Henry and the deep roar of the hound. I was in time to see the beast spring upon its victim, hurl him to the ground, and worry at his throat. But the next instant Holmes had emptied five barrels of his revolver into the creature's flank. With a last howl of agony and a vicious snap in the air it rolled upon its back, four feet pawing furiously, and then fell limp upon its side.
