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

A heavily timbered park stretched up in a gentle slope (сильно лесистый = заросший парк растянулся = раскинулся на пологом склоне), thickening into a grove at the highest point (уплотняясь = переходя в рощу в высшей точке). From amid the branches (посреди = через ветки) there jutted out the gray gables and high roof-tree of a very old mansion (выступали серые фронтоны и высокий коньковый прогон очень старого помещичьего дома).

"Stoke Moran?" said he.

"Yes, sir, that be the house of Dr. Grimesby Roylott (да, сэр, это дом доктора Гримсби Ройлотта)," remarked the driver (заметил кучер).

"There is some building going on there (там происходит какое-то строительство; to go on — случаться, происходить; продолжаться)," said Holmes; "that is where we are going (это /то место/, куда мы собираемся /поехать/ = куда нам нужно)."

"There's the village (там деревня)," said the driver, pointing to a cluster of roofs some distance to the left (сказал кучер, указывая на группу крыш /находящихся/ на некотором расстоянии слева); "but if you want to get to the house (но если хотите добраться к дому), you'll find it shorter to get over this stile (вы найдете это короче = вам будет ближе перейти через этот приступок /у изгороди/), and so by the foot-path over the fields (и затем /пройти/ тропинкой через поля). There it is, where the lady is walking (вон там, где идет леди)."

"There is some building going on there," said Holmes; "that is where we are going."

"There's the village," said the driver, pointing to a cluster of roofs some distance to the left; "but if you want to get to the house, you'll find it shorter to get over this stile, and so by the foot-path over the fields. There it is, where the lady is walking."

"And the lady, I fancy, is Miss Stoner (а эта леди, полагаю, мисс Стонер)," observed Holmes, shading his eyes (заметил Холмс, заслоняя от света глаза). "Yes, I think we had better do as you suggest (да, думаю, нам лучше сделать, как вы предлагаете)."

We got off (мы вышли /из экипажа/), paid our fare (заплатили нашу проездную плату = расплатились), and the trap rattled back on its way to Leatherhead (экипаж загрохотал обратно в Лэтерхэд).

"I thought it as well (я подумал, между прочим; as well — также, кстати, вдобавок)," said Holmes as we climbed the stile (сказал Холмс, когда мы карабкались через приступок), "that this fellow should think we had come here as architects (что этому парню следует думать, что мы прибыли сюда как архитекторы), or on some definite business (по какому-то определенному делу). It may stop his gossip (это может остановить его сплетни). Good-afternoon, Miss Stoner (добрый день, мисс Стонер). You see that we have been as good as our word (вы видите, что мы точно сдержали слово: «были столь же хороши, как наше слово»)."

suggest [s@'dZest], fare [fe@], architects ['A:kItekts]

We got off, paid our fare, and the trap rattled back on its way to Leatherhead.
