Английский язык с Льюисом Кэрроллом - Through The Looking Glass

I took a kettle large and new (я взял котелок большой и новый; kettle — чайник /для кипячении воды/; котелок),

Fit for the deed I had to do (пригодный для дела, которое я должен был выполнить).

My heart went hop (мое сердце подпрыгивало),

my heart went thump (мое сердце тяжело стучало);

I filled the kettle at the pump (я наполнил котелок у колонки; pump — насос, помпа).

once [wAns], twice [twaIs], heart [hQ:t], thump [TAmp]

I told them once, I told them twice:

They would not listen to advice.

I took a kettle large and new,

Fit for the deed I had to do.

My heart went hop, my heart went thump;

I filled the kettle at the pump.

Then some one came to me and said (потом кто-то пришел ко мне и сказал),

"The little fishes are in bed (маленькие рыбки спят: «в постели»)."

I said to him, I said it plain (я сказал ему прямо; plain — ясный, отчетливый; простой, понятный),

"Then you must wake them up again (тогда ты должен снова разбудить их)."

I said it very loud and clear (я сказал это очень громко и отчетливо; clear — ясный, светлый; отчетливый, внятный, четкий);

I went and shouted in his ear (я пошел и прокричал ему в ухо).'

said [sed], plain [pleIn], shouted ['SaVtId]

Then some one came to me and said,

"The little fishes are in bed."

I said to him, I said it plain,

"Then you must wake them up again."

I said it very loud and clear;

I went and shouted in his ear.'

Humpty Dumpty raised his voice almost to a scream as he repeated this verse (голос у Шалтая-Болтая почти сорвался на крик: «Шалтай-Болтай повысил голос почти до крика», когда он читал эту строчку; to raise — поднимать; повышать), and Alice thought with a shudder (а Алиса подумала с содроганием), `I wouldn't have been the messenger for ANYTHING (я бы ни за что не стала этим посыльным)!'

`But he was very stiff and proud (но он был очень чопорен и горд; stiff — жесткий, крепкий; холодный, чопорный);

He said "You needn't shout so loud!" (он сказал: "Вам не следует так громко кричать")

And he was very proud and stiff (и он был очень горд и чопорен);

He said "I'd go and wake them, if —" (он сказал: "Я пойду и разбужу их, если…")

shudder ['SAdq], messenger ['mesIndZq], anything ['enITIN]

Humpty Dumpty raised his voice almost to a scream as he repeated this verse, and Alice thought with a shudder, `I wouldn't have been the messenger for ANYTHING!'

`But he was very stiff and proud;

And he was very proud and stiff;

He said "I'd go and wake them, if—"

I took a corkscrew from the shelf (я взял штопор с полки):

I went to wake them up myself (и сам пошел будить их).

And when I found the door was locked (а когда я обнаружил, что дверь заперта),

I pulled and pushed and kicked and knocked (я стал тянуть и толкать, пинать ногами и стучать).

And when I found the door was shut (и когда я обнаружил, что дверь закрыта),

I tried to turn the handle, but — (я попытался повернуть ручку, но)'

There was a long pause (наступила долгая пауза).

`Is that all (это все)?' Alice timidly asked (робко спросила Алиса).

`That's all (это все),' said Humpty Dumpty. `Good-bye (До свидания).'

This was rather sudden, Alice thought (это было довольно неожиданно, подумала Алиса): but, after such a VERY strong hint that she ought to be going (но после такого очень прямого намека, что ей следует уйти; strong — сильный; ясный, определенный), she felt that it would hardly be civil to stay (она поняла, что вряд ли было бы вежливым остаться). So she got up, and held out her hand (поэтому она встала и протянула руку). `Good-bye, till we meet again (до свидания, до встречи: «до /следующего раза, когда/ мы встретимся снова»)!' she said as cheerfully as she could (сказала она так бодро, как только могла).

pause [pO:z], civil ['sIvIl], cheerfully ['tSIqf(q)lI]

There was a long pause.

`Is that all?' Alice timidly asked.

`That's all,' said Humpty Dumpty. `Good-bye.'

`I shouldn't know you again if we DID meet (я не узнал бы тебя снова, если бы мы действительно встретились),' Humpty Dumpty replied in a discontented tone, giving her one of his fingers to shake (ответил Шалтай-Болтай недовольным тоном, протягивая ей для пожатия один палец); `you're so exactly like other people (ты так сильно похожа на других людей; exactly — точно).'
