Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Собака Баскервилей (ASCII-IPA)

We were both fair runners and in good condition (мы оба были недурными бегунами и в хорошей форме; fair — красивый; значительный, порядочный; in good condition — в хорошем состоянии), but we soon found (но мы вскоре обнаружили) that we had no chance of overtaking him (что у нас нет шансов догнать его). We saw him for a long time in the moonlight (мы видели его долгое время в свете луны) until he was only a small speck (пока он не стал всего лишь маленькой точкой) moving swiftly among the boulders upon the side of a distant hill (быстро движущейся среди валунов по склону далекого холма). We ran and ran until we were completely blown (мы продолжали бежать, пока /не стали/ совсем задыхаться; to blow — дуть /о ветре/; пыхтеть, тяжело дышать), but the space between us grew ever wider (но расстояние между нами неизменно увеличивалось: «становилось постоянно шире»; space — пространство; расстояние /между двумя объектами/; to grow). Finally we stopped and sat panting on two rocks (наконец мы остановились и, тяжело дыша, уселись на камни), while we watched him disappearing in the distance (продолжая наблюдать, как он исчезает вдалеке; while — пока, в то время как).

And it was at this moment (и в этот момент) that there occurred a most strange and unexpected thing (произошла самая странная и неожиданная вещь). We had risen from our rocks (мы поднялись с камней) and were turning to go home (и повернулись, /чтобы/ идти домой), having abandoned the hopeless chase (оставив безнадежное преследование). The moon was low upon the right (луна висела низко, справа /от нас/), and the jagged pinnacle of a granite tor (и зазубренная вершина гранитной скалы) stood up against the lower curve of its silver disc (вставала на фоне нижней половины ее серебряного диска; curve — дуга; изгиб). There, outlined as black as an ebony statue on that shining background (там, как статуя из черного дерева, на этом сияющем фоне; to outline — нарисовать контур; очертить; ebony — эбеновое, черное дерево), I saw the figure of a man upon the tor (стояла фигура: «я увидел фигуру» человека на скале).
