Английский язык с Г. Уэллсом "Человек-невидимка" - H. Wells

“Books?” he said suddenly, noisily finishing with the toothpick.

Mr. Marvel started and looked at them.

“Oh, yes,” he said. “Yes, they’re books.”

“There’s some extraordinary things in books,” said the mariner.

“I believe you,” said Mr. Marvel.

“And some extra-ordinary things out of ’em,” said the mariner.

“True likewise,” said Mr. Marvel. He eyed his interlocutor, and then glanced about him.

“There’s some extra-ordinary things in newspapers, for example (например, удивительные вещи /пишут/ в газетах),” said the mariner.

“There are (да, пишут).”

“In this newspaper (в этой газете),” said the mariner.

“Ah!” said Mr. Marvel.

“There’s a story (вот история),” said the mariner, fixing Mr. Marvel with an eye that was firm and deliberate (сказал матрос, неотрывно, внимательно глядя на Марвела; to fix with one's eyes — уставиться /взглядом/, пристально смотреть на; firm — крепкий, зафиксированный; deliberate — преднамеренный; осторожный, взвешенный); “there’s a story about an Invisible Man, for instance (вот история о Невидимом человеке, например).”

Mr. Marvel pulled his mouth askew (Марвел скривил рот) and scratched his cheek and felt his ears glowing (почесал щеку и почувствовал, как у него краснеют уши; glow — сверкание, сияние; румянец, краска).

“What will they be writing next (и что же они напишут дальше = чего только не придумают)?” he asked faintly (спросил он слабо = тихим голосом). “Ostria, or America (/где это/, в Австрии или Америке; Ostria= Austria)?”

“There’s some extra-ordinary things in newspapers, for example,” said the mariner.

“There are.”

“In this newspaper,” said the mariner.

“Ah!” said Mr. Marvel.

“There’s a story,” said the mariner, fixing Mr. Marvel with an eye that was firm and deliberate; “there’s a story about an Invisible Man, for instance.”

Mr. Marvel pulled his mouth askew and scratched his cheek and felt his ears glowing.

“What will they be writing next?” he asked faintly. “Ostria, or America?”

“Neither (ни то, ни другое),” said the mariner. “Here (здесь).”

“Lord (Господи)!” said Mr. Marvel, starting (сказал Марвел, вздрагивая).

“When I say here (когда я говорю здесь),” said the mariner, to Mr. Marvel’s intense relief (сказал матрос к величайшему облегчению Марвела; intense — сильный, глубокий; напряженный), “I don’t of course mean here in this place, I mean hereabouts (я, конечно, не имею в виду прямо здесь, на этом месте, я говорю — поблизости).”

“An Invisible Man!” said Mr. Marvel. “And what’s he been up to (и что он вытворяет; to be up to — вытворять; затевать/что-либо/)?”

“Everything (все),” said the mariner, controlling Marvel with his eye, and then amplifying (сказал матрос, внимательно разглядывая Марвела, затем добавил; control — руководство; контроль; to amplify — развивать/мысль/; вдаватьсявподробности; ample — обширный), “every — blessed — thing (все что угодно: «каждую чертову вещь»).”

neither [`naIDq], intense [In`tens], hereabouts ["hIqrq`bauts]

“Neither,” said the mariner. “Here.”

“Lord!” said Mr. Marvel, starting.

“When I say here,” said the mariner, to Mr. Marvel’s intense relief, “I don’t of course mean here in this place, I mean hereabouts.”

“An Invisible Man!” said Mr. Marvel. “And what’s he been up to?”

“Everything,” said the mariner, controlling Marvel with his eye, and then amplifying, “every — blessed — thing.”

“I ain’t seen a paper these four days (я не видел газет четыре дня),” said Marvel.

“Iping’s the place he started at (Айпинг — место, где он начал =появилсявпервые),” said the mariner.

“In-deed (вот как)!” said Mr. Marvel.

“He started there (он сперва объявился там). And where he came from (а откуда он пришел), nobody don’t seem to know (видно, никто не знает). Here it is (вот): ‘Pe-culiar Story from Iping (необыкновенная история из Айпинга; peculiar— специфический; особенный, своеобразный; необычный).’ And it says in this paper that the evidence is extra-ordinary strong — extra-ordinary (в этой газете сказано, что доказательства необычайно сильные; strongevidence— сильное, веское доказательство; evidence— очевидность; юр. улика; свидетельское показание).”

“Lord!” said Mr. Marvel.

“I ain’t seen a paper these four days,” said Marvel.

“Iping’s the place he started at,” said the mariner.

“In-deed!” said Mr. Marvel.

“He started there. And where he came from, nobody don’t seem to know. Here it is: ‘Pe-culiar Story from Iping.’ And it says in this paper that the evidence is extra-ordinary strong — extra-ordinary.”

“Lord!” said Mr. Marvel.

“But then, it’s an extra-ordinary story (вот уж действительно удивительная: «необыкновенная» история). There is a clergyman and a medical gent witnesses (священник и доктор утверждают; gent= gentleman) — saw ’im all right and proper (что видели его совершенно ясно; ’im= him; proper— присущий, правильный; точный) — or leastways didn’t see ’im (вернее, не видели; leastways— по крайней мере). He was staying, it says, at the ‘Coach an’ Horses’ (тут пишут, он остановился в /трактире/ «Карета и кони»), and no one don’t seem to have been aware of his misfortune (и никто, видимо, не знал о его несчастье), it says, aware of his misfortune, until in an Altercation in the inn, it says (пока, пишут, во время драки в трактире; altercation— перебранка, ссора), his bandages on his head was torn off (у него с головы не сорвали бинты; totearoff— сдирать, отрывать). It was then ob-served that his head was invisible (и тогда обнаружили, что голова у него невидимая). Attempts were At Once made to secure him (сразу же были сделаны попытки = попытались его схватить; tosecure— охранять, защищать; брать под стражу), but casting off his garments, it says (но, сбросив одежду; tocastoff— избавляться; освобождаться /от старой одежды/), he succeeded in escaping (он сумел/ему удалось убежать), but not until after a desperate struggle (но только после отчаянной борьбы), in which he had inflicted serious injuries, it says (в которой он нанес серьезные ранения), on our worthy and able constable, Mr. J. A. Jaffers (нашему достойному и почтенному констеблю, мистеру Джефферсу; able— искусный, умелый; компетентный). Pretty straight story, eh (все довольно-таки начистоту, а; straight— прямой, честный; straightstory— объективное изложение событий)? Names and everything (имена /названы/ и прочее).”

“Lord (Господи)!” said Mr. Marvel, looking nervously about him (воскликнул Марвел, беспокойно оглядываясь), trying to count the money in his pockets by his unaided sense of touch (и пытаясь сосчитать деньги в карманах на ощупь; unaided — лишенныйпомощи; sense of touch — осязание), and full of a strange and novel idea (наполненный странной, новой мыслью =в голову ему пришла странная, необычная мысль). “It sounds most astonishing (звучит очень удивительно).”

“Don’t it (ведь правда)? Extra-ordinary, I call it (по-моему, необычайно). Never heard tell of Invisible Men before, I haven’t (никогда не слыхал о невидимых людях раньше), but nowadays one hears such a lot of extra-ordinary things — that — (но в наши дни слышишь так много всего удивительного, что…)”

“That all he did (это все, что он сделал)?” asked Marvel, trying to seem at his ease (спросил Марвел, пытаясь выглядеть непринужденно; at ease — свободно, непринужденно).
