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

In mere size and strength it was a terrible creature which was lying stretched before us. It was not a pure bloodhound and it was not a pure mastiff; but it appeared to be a combination of the two — gaunt, savage, and as large as a small lioness. Even now, in the stillness of death, the huge jaws seemed to be dripping with a bluish flame and the small, deep-set, cruel eyes were ringed with fire. I placed my hand upon the glowing muzzle, and as I held them up my own fingers smouldered and gleamed in the darkness.

"Phosphorus," I said (фосфор, — сказал я).

"A cunning preparation of it (искусно /сделанный/ из него препарат)," said Holmes, sniffing at the dead animal (сказал Холмс, принюхиваясь к мертвому животному). "There is no smell (нет запаха) which might have interfered with his power of scent (который мог бы перебить силу нюха /у собаки/; to interfere — пересекаться; мешать, быть помехой). We owe you a deep apology, Sir Henry (мы должны /принести/ вам свои глубокие извинения, сэр Генри), for having exposed you to this fright (за то, что подвергли вас этому страху; to expose — делать видимым; подвергать). I was prepared for a hound (я был готов /увидеть/ собаку), but not for such a creature as this (но не такую тварь, как эта). And the fog gave us little time (и туман почти не оставил: «не дал» нам времени) to receive him (чтобы подготовиться к встрече с ней: «чтобы получить ее»)."

"You have saved my life (вы спасли мою жизнь)."

"Having first endangered it (сперва подвергнув ее опасности). Are you strong enough to stand (у вас достаточно сил: «вы достаточно сильны», чтобы встать)?"

"Give me another mouthful of that brandy (дайте мне еще глоток того бренди) and I shall be ready for anything (и я буду готов к чему угодно). So (вот так)! Now, if you will help me up (а теперь, не поможете ли мне подняться). What do you propose to do (что вы предлагаете делать /дальше/)?"

"To leave you here (оставить вас здесь). You are not fit for further adventures to-night (вы не готовы для дальнейших приключений сегодня ночью; fit — пригодный; готовый). If you will wait (если вы подождете), one or other of us will go back with you to the Hall (кто-то: «один или другой» из нас вернется с вами в Баскервиль-холл)."

He tried to stagger to his feet (он попытался подняться на ноги; to stagger — шататься, покачиваться); but he was still ghastly pale (но он был все еще очень бледен; ghastly — весьма, очень) and trembling in every limb (руки и ноги его дрожали; limb — конечность). We helped him to a rock (мы помогли ему /подойти/ к камню), where he sat shivering (где он сел, дрожа /всем телом/) with his face buried in his hands (спрятав лицо в ладони; to bury — хоронить, зарывать в землю; прятать, скрывать, укрывать).
