Английский язык с Конаном-варваром

His eyes wavered away from the steady glare of his captors, and he repressed a cry of horror (его глаза отвернулись от твердого взгляда его пленителей, и он подавил крик ужаса). A few feet away there rose a low, hideous pyramid: it was built of gory human heads (/в/ нескольких футах прочь = от него возвышалась низкая отвратительная пирамида, она была построена из окровавленных человеческих голов; to build — строить). Dead eyes glared glassily up the black sky (мертвые глаза смотрели стеклянно = остекленевшим взглядом вверх в черное небо). Numbly he recognized the countenances which were turned toward him (оцепенев, он узнал лица, которые были повернуты к нему; numb — онемелый, оцепенелый, неподвижный). They were the heads of the men who had followed Conan into the forest (они = это были головы людей, которые последовали за Конаном в лес). He could not tell if the Cimmerian's head were among them (он не мог сказать, была ли голова Конана среди них). Only a few faces were visible to him (лишь несколько лиц были видимы ему). It looked to him as if there must be ten or eleven heads at least (/это/ ему показалось, что как будто там должно быть, по крайней мере, десять-одиннадцать голов). A deadly sickness assailed him (ужасная тошнота охватила его). He fought a desire to retch (он боролся с желанием вырвать; to retch — рыгать; тужиться (при рвоте)). Beyond the heads lay the bodies of half a dozen Picts (за головами лежали тела полудюжины пиктов), and he was aware of a fierce exultation at the sight (и он осознавал = испытывал яростное торжество при виде /этого/; to be aware of — осознавать, знать, отдавать себе отчет). The forest runners had taken toll, at least (по крайней мере, лесные разведчики собрали дань; to take toll — собрать пошлину).

Twisting his head away from the ghastly spectacle (отвернув /свою/ голову от мерзкого зрелища), he became aware that another post stood near him он понял / заметил, что еще один столб стоял возле него) — a stake painted black as was the one to which he was bound (столб, окрашенный в черный цвет, как и тот, к которому был привязан он). A man sagged in his bonds there, naked except for his leathern breeks (мужчина, обвисший в своих путах там, обнаженный за исключением его кожаных штанов), whom Balthus recognized as one of Conan's woodsmen которого = в котором Балтус узнал, /как/ одного из лесовиков Конана). Blood trickled from his mouth, oozed sluggishly from a gash in his side (кровь сочилась из его рта, вытекала медленно из глубокой раны в боку; sluggish — вялый; медленный, неторопливый). Lifting his head as he licked his livid lips (подняв /свою/ голову, когда он облизывал /свои/ мертвенно-бледные губы), he muttered, making himself heard with difficulty above the fiendish clamor of the Picts: "So they got you, too (он пробормотал, делая себя услышанным = стараясь быть услышанным, с трудом /перекрывая/ злодейский гул пиктов: значит, они взяли тебя тоже; to get — взять, поймать, достать, заполучить)!"

aware ['w], livid ['lvd], too [tu:]
