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

"No, it is not even attached to a wire (нет, он даже не присоединен к проводу). This is very interesting (это очень интересно). You can see now that it is fastened to a hook (вы можете видеть, что он прикреплен к крючку) just above where the little opening for the ventilator is (прямо над /тем местом/, где находится маленькое отверстие для вентиляции)."

"How very absurd (как /очень/ глупо)! I never noticed that before (никогда не замечала этого раньше)."

"Very strange (очень странно)!" muttered Holmes (пробормотал Холмс), pulling at the rope (дергая /за/ веревку). "There are one or two very singular points about this room (есть один-два очень странных пункта: «особых точек» относительно этой комнаты). For example, what a fool a builder must be (например, каким глупым строителем нужно быть) to open a ventilator into another room (чтобы вывести вентиляцию в другую комнату), when, with the same trouble (когда с той же заботой = легкостью), he might have communicated with the outside air (он мог бы сообщаться с наружным воздухом)!"

"That is also quite modern (это также довольно новое)," said the lady.

"Done about the same time as the bell-rope (сделано примерно в то же время, что и шнурок)?" remarked Holmes (заметил Холмс).

"Yes, there were several little changes carried out about that time (да, было несколько небольших изменений, выполненных примерно в то время; to carry out — осуществить, выполнить)."

"They seem to have been of a most interesting character (они кажутся интереснейшего характера = интересные переделки) — dummy bell-ropes (фальшивые шнурки), and ventilators which do not ventilate (и вентиляции, которые не вентилируют). With your permission (с вашего позволения), Miss Stoner, we shall now carry our researches into the inner apartment (мы перенесем теперь наши изыскания во внутреннюю комнату)."
