Английский язык с Конаном-варваром

It seemed that, although his body slept, his spirit waked and was watchful (казалось, что, хотя его тело спало, его дух пробудился и был наблюдающим = наблюдал). To the immaterial eyes of his ka, as the Stygians called it, the gloomy balcony was filled with a dim glow of blood-hued light from some unseen source (для нематериальных глаз его ка, как стигийцы называли это, мрачный балкон был наполнен неясным заревом кровавого света от некоего невидимого источника; hue — краска, оттенок, тон, цвет). This was neither the silvery sheen of the moon, which cast slanting beams into the hall through gaps in the stone, nor the pallid flicker of distant lightning (это было ни серебристое сияние луны, которая отбрасывала косые лучи в зал через щели в камне, ни мертвенно-бледное мерцание далекой молнии). By this sanguine radiance, Conan's spirit could see drifting shadows (с помощью этого кроваво- красного сияния дух Конана мог видеть плывущие тени), which flitted like cloudy bats among the black marble columns (которые порхали, как туманные летучие мыши среди черных мраморных колонн) — shadows with glaring eyes filled with mindless hunger (тени с пылающими глазами, заполненные безумным голодом) — shadows that whispered in an all but inaudible cacophony of mocking laughter and bestial cries (тени, которые шептались в почти неслышимой какофонии насмешливого смеха и зверских криков).

watchful ['wtfl], lightning ['latn], marble [m: bl]

It seemed that, although his body slept, his spirit waked and was watchful. To the immaterial eyes of his ka, as the Stygians called it, the gloomy balcony was filled with a dim glow of blood-hued light from some unseen source. This was neither the silvery sheen of the moon, which cast slanting beams into the hall through gaps in the stone, nor the pallid flicker of distant lightning. By this sanguine radiance, Conan's spirit could see drifting shadows, which flitted like cloudy bats among the black marble columns — shadows with glaring eyes filled with mindless hunger — shadows that whispered in an all but inaudible cacophony of mocking laughter and bestial cries.

Conan's spirit somehow knew that these whispering shadows were the ghosts of thousands of sentient beings (дух Конана как-то знал, что эти шепчущие тени были привидениями тысяч чувствующих существ), who had died within this ancient structure (которые умерли в этом древнем строении). How he knew this, he could not say, but to his ka it was a plain fact (как он узнал это, он не мог сказать, но для его ка это было очевидным фактом). The unknown people who had raised this enormous ruin — whether the serpent men of Valusian legend or some other forgotten race — had drenched the marble altars of the black castle with the blood of thousands (неизвестный народ, который возвел эту огромную руину — либо люди-змеи из валузийской легенды, либо другая забытая раса — оросила мраморные алтари черного замка кровью тысяч). The ghosts of their victims were chained forever to this castle of terror (духи/привидения их жертв были прикованы навсегда к этому замку ужаса). Perhaps they were held earthbound by some powerful spell of prehuman sorcery (возможно, они были удерживаемы связью с землей с помощью какого-то могущественного заклятия дочеловеческого колдовства = колдовства, существовавшего на земле до появления человека). Perhaps it was the same spell that kept out the beasts of the veldt (возможно, это было то же заклятие, которое удерживало снаружи тварей степи).

But this was not all (но это было не все). The ghosts of the black castle hungered for the blood of the living — for the blood of Conan (привидения черного замка жаждали крови живого человека — крови Конана; to hunger for — жаждать).
