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

The man burst into a hearty laugh. "They might be useful to me as relics of my adventure," said he, "but beyond that I can hardly see what use the disjecta membra of my late acquaintance are going to be to me. No, sir, I think that, with your permission, I will confine my attentions to the excellent bird which I perceive upon the sideboard."

Sherlock Holmes glanced sharply (взглянул резко = быстро) across at me with a slight shrug of his shoulders (с легким пожиманием плечами).

"There is your hat, then (вот ваша шляпа тогда), and there your bird," said he. "By the way (кстати), would it bore you to tell me (утомило ли бы это вас сказать мне = не скажите ли мне) where you got the other one from (откуда вы взяли другую /птицу/)? I am somewhat of a fowl fancier (я отчасти знаток/любитель домашней птицы = кое-что смыслю в этом деле; to fancy — воображать; питать склонность), and I have seldom seen a better grown goose (редко видел более выращенного = откормленного гуся)."

fowl [faul], fancier ['f&nsI@]

"Certainly (непременно), sir," said Baker, who had risen (поднялся) and tucked his newly gained property under his arm (сунул свою вновь обретенную собственность под руку = под мышку). "There are a few of us (там есть несколько из нас = наша небольшая компания) who frequent the Alpha Inn (которая /посещает/ трактир «Альфа»), near the Museum (рядом с музеем) — we are to be found (нас можно найти) in the Museum itself (в самом музее) during the day (в течение дня), you understand (понимаете). This year our good host (в этом году наш хороший хозяин), Windigate by name (по имени Уиндигейт), instituted a goose club (учредил гусиный клуб), by which (с помощью которого), on consideration (при выплате) of some few pence every week (нескольких пенсов каждую неделю), we were each to receive (мы были /должны/ каждый получить) a bird at Christmas (птицу к Рождеству). My pence were duly paid (мои взносы были своевременно/надлежащим образом уплачены; due — должное; то, что причитается), and the rest is familiar to you (остальное знакомо = известно вам). I am much indebted to you (весьма обязан вам; debt — долг), sir, for a Scotch bonnet is fitted neither to my years nor my gravity (так как шотландская шапочка не подходит ни для моих годов, ни для моей степенности = солидному человеку моего возраста неудобно носить шотландскую шапочку)." With a comical pomposity of manner (с комичной напыщенностью /стиля/) he bowed solemnly (поклонился торжественно) to both of us (нам обоим) and strode off upon his way (зашагал прочь своей дорогой; to stride — шагать /большими шагами/).
