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

"Mr. Henry Baker, I believe (полагаю)," said he, rising from his armchair (поднимаясь с кресла) and greeting (приветствуя) his visitor with the easy air of geniality (с непринужденным видом добродушия) which he could so readily assume (который так быстро/легко принять; to assume — принимать, брать на себя). "Pray take this chair by the fire (прошу вас, садитесь: «берите этот стул» у огня), Mr. Baker. It is a cold night (холодный вечер), and I observe that your circulation is more adapted for summer than for winter (а я вижу: «наблюдаю», что ваше кровообращение более приспособлено для лета, чем для зимы). Ah, Watson, you have just come at the right time (вы только что пришли в правильное время). Is that your hat, Mr. Baker?"

"Yes, sir, that is undoubtedly my hat (несомненно; doubt — сомнение; to doubt — сомневаться)."

He was a large man (это был крупный мужчина) with rounded shoulders (с округленными плечами = сутулый), a massive head (массивной головой), and a broad, intelligent face (с широким, умным лицом), sloping down to a pointed beard of grizzled brown (переходящим: «спускающимся» в остроконечную бородку каштанового с сединой /цвета/). A touch of red in nose and cheeks (оттенок красного = красные пятна на носу и щеках), with a slight tremor of his extended hand (с легким дрожанием его протянутой руки), recalled Holmes's surmise as to his habits (напомнили о догадке/предположении Холмса относительно его привычек). His rusty black frock-coat (его порыжевший черный сюртук) was buttoned right up in front (был застегнут /прямо/ впереди /на все пуговицы/), with the collar turned up (с воротником, поднятым вверх), and his lank wrists protruded from his sleeves (и с худощавыми запястьями, торчащими из рукавов) without a sign of cuff or shirt (без /малейшего/ вида манжеты или сорочки). He spoke in a slow staccato fashion (говорил он в медленной отрывистой манере), choosing his words with care (выбирая слова с осторожностью), and gave the impression (производил впечатление) generally of a man of learning and letters (в целом человека интеллигентного: «учености и письма») who had had ill-usage at the hands of fortune (который был сильно помят жизнью: «имел дурное обращение от руки судьбы»).

"We have retained (задержали /сохранили/) these things for some days (на несколько дней)," said Holmes, "because we expected (ожидали) to see an advertisement from you giving your address (дающее ваш адрес). I am at a loss to know (я в недоумении узнать = не понимаю) now why you did not advertise (почему вы не дали объявление)."
