Английский язык с Конаном-варваром

He spoke no word as he sheathed his bloody sword and drove at her, fingers spread to grip her soft flesh. With a shriek of laughter she leaped back and ran, laughing at him over her white shoulder. With a low growl, Conan followed. He had forgotten the fight, forgotten the mailed warriors who lay in their blood, forgotten Niord and the reavers who failed to reach the battle. He thought only of the slender white shape, which seemed to float rather than run before him.

Out across the blinding-white plain the chase led (/наружу/ через ослепительно-белую равнину погоня вела; to lead — вести). The trampled red field fell out of sight behind him (истоптанное красное поле пропало из вида за ним; to fall out of sight — пропасть из виду), but still Conan kept on with the silent tenacity of his race (но все-таки Конан продолжал упорно безмолвное состязание в беге: «продолжал с безмолвным упорством его состязания в беге»; to keep on — продолжать). His mailed feet broke through the frozen crust (его покрытые броней ноги проламывали замерший снежный наст; to break — ломать); he sank deep in the drifts and forged through them by sheer brute strength (он погружался глубоко в сугробы и продвигался сквозь них абсолютно грубой силой; by — предлог-показатель творительного падежа — кем, чем?). But the girl danced across the snow, light as a feather floating on a pool (но девушка танцевала на снегу, легкая как перышко, плывущее на / по поверхности пруда); her naked feet barely left their imprint on the hoarfrost that overlaid the crust (ее босые ступни лишь оставляли /их/ отпечаток на инее, который покрывал наст). Despite the fire in his veins (несмотря на огонь в его венах), the cold bit through the warrior’s mail and fur-lined tunic (холод кусал сквозь кольчугу воина и тунику на меховой подкладке); but the girl in her gossamer veil ran as lightly and as gaily as if she danced through the palms and rose gardens of Poitain (но девушка в своем / ее газовом покрывале бежала так легко и так весело, как если бы она танцевала через = среди пальм и розариев Пуатена).

On and on she led, and Conan followed (вперед и вперед: «на и на» она вела, а Конан следовал (за ней)). Black curses drooled through the Cimmerian’s parched lips (черные проклятия сочились сквозь запекшиеся губы киммерийца). The great veins in his temples swelled and throbbed, and his teeth gnashed (большие вены в его висках раздувались и пульсировали, а его зубы скрежетали).

‘You cannot escape me!’ he roared (ты не можешь сбежать (от) меня! — он рычал). ‘Lead me into a trap and I’ll pile the heads of your kinsmen at your feet! (веди меня в ловушку, и я сложу головы твоих родственников у твоих ног; to pile — складывать стопкой, кучей). Hide from me and I’ll tear the mountains apart to find you! (спрячься от меня, и я разорву / разворошу горы, чтобы найти тебя!) I’ll follow you to Hell itself!’ (я последую (за) тобой до ада самого = до самого ада!)
