Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Первый сборник рассказов (ASCII-IPA)

"It is, I think, much more likely (более вероятно) that Henry Baker is an absolutely innocent man (совершенно невиновный человек), who had no idea that the bird which he was carrying (не знавший, что птица, которую он нес) was of considerably more value (значительно большей цены) than if it were made of solid gold (чем если бы была сделана из чистого золота). That, however, I shall determine (установлю) by a very simple test if we have an answer to our advertisement (если у нас будет ответ = если он откликнется на наше объявление)."

"And you can do nothing until then (вы ничего не можете предпринять до того)?"

"Nothing."

"Do you think that this man Horner is innocent?"

"I cannot tell."

"Well, then, do you imagine that this other one, Henry Baker, had anything to do with the matter?"

"Nothing."

"In that case (в таком случае) I shall continue my professional round (продолжу мой профессиональный обход = поеду к пациентам). But I shall come back (вернусь) in the evening at the hour you have mentioned (в час, /который/ вы упомянули), for I should like to see the solution of so tangled a business (хотел бы увидеть окончание столь запутанного дела)."

"Very glad to see you (/буду/ очень рад вас видеть). I dine at seven (я обедаю в семь). There is a woodcock (вальдшнеп /к обеду/), I believe (я полагаю). By the way (кстати), in view of recent occurrences (в виду недавних происшествий), perhaps I ought to ask (мне следует попросить) Mrs. Hudson to examine its crop (исследовать зоб /вальдшнепа/)."

I had been delayed at a case (задержался из-за одного дела), and it was a little after half-past six (немного после половины седьмого) when I found myself in Baker Street once more (снова). As I approached (когда я приблизился) the house I saw a tall man in a Scotch bonnet (увидел высокого человека в шотландской шапочке) with a coat (в пальто) which was buttoned up to his chin (которое было застегнуто до подбородка) waiting outside in the bright semicircle (ждущего снаружи в ярком полукруге) which was thrown from the fanlight (который был брошен = падал от окна над дверью). Just as I arrived (подошел: «прибыл») the door was opened, and we were shown up together to Holmes's room (нас обоих: «вместе» провели наверх в комнату Холмса).
