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

"It is fear (страх), Mr. Holmes. It is terror (ужас)." She raised her veil (подняла вуаль) as she spoke (говоря), and we could see that she was indeed in a pitiable state of agitation (в жалком состоянии волнения), her face all drawn and gray (лицо все искаженное и серое = бледное), with restless frightened eyes (с тревожным испуганным взглядом), like those of some hunted animal (как у затравленного зверя; to hunt — охотиться). Her features and figure (черты /лица/ и фигура) were those of a woman of thirty (женщины тридцати /лет/), but her hair was shot with premature gray (волосы были затронуты преждевременной сединой), and her expression was weary and haggard (выражение /лица/ было уставшим и изможденным). Sherlock Holmes ran her over with one of his quick, all-comprehensive glances (пробежал = окинул ее одним из своих быстрых, все понимающих взглядов).

"You must not fear (вы не должны бояться)," said he soothingly (успокаивающе), bending forward (наклоняясь вперед) and patting her forearm (и похлопывая ее предплечье = руку). "We shall soon set matters right (вскоре приведем дела в порядок), I have no doubt (не сомневаюсь). You have come in by train (прибыли поездом) this morning, I see."

soothingly ['su:DINlI], forearm [,fO:'A:m], train [treIn]

"You know me, then?"

"No, but I observe the second half of a return ticket (вижу вторую половину обратного билета) in the palm of your left glove (в ладони вашей левой перчатки). You must have started early (вы, должно быть, выехали рано), and yet you had a good drive in a dog-cart (имели хорошую поездку в = тряслись в двуколке), along heavy roads (вдоль тяжелых дорог = по скверным дорогам), before you reached the station (прежде чем вы доехали до станции)."

The lady gave a violent start (дала сильное вздрагивание = сильно вздрогнула) and stared in bewilderment at my companion (уставилась в смущении/удивлении).

glove [glVv], violent ['vaI@l@nt], bewilderment [bI'wIld@m@nt]

"There is no mystery (здесь нет тайны), my dear madam," said he, smiling (улыбаясь). "The left arm of your jacket (левый рукав вашего жакета) is spattered with mud (забрызган грязью) in no less than seven places (в не менее чем семи местах). The marks are perfectly fresh (пятна совершенно свежие). There is no vehicle (нет /такого/ средства передвижения) save a dog-cart (кроме двуколки) which throws up mud in that way (которая подбрасывает грязь таким образом), and then only when you sit on the left-hand side of the driver (и притом только если вы сидите на левой стороне от водителя)."
