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

"I'll join you in a walk, with pleasure," said his companion (я с удовольствием присоединюсь к вам, — сказал его товарищ).

"Then we meet again at two o'clock (итак, в два встретимся снова). Au revoir, and good morning (до свидания и всего хорошего; au revoir /франц./ — до свидания)!"

meanwhile [,mi:n'waIl], prefer [prI'f@:], au revoir [,@ur@v'wA:(r)]

"Meanwhile," said he, "I have hardly had time to think over all that you have told me. It's a big thing for a man to have to understand and to decide at one sitting. I should like to have a quiet hour by myself to make up my mind. Now, look here, Mr. Holmes, it's half-past eleven now and I am going back right away to my hotel. Suppose you and your friend, Dr. Watson, come round and lunch with us at two? I'll be able to tell you more clearly then how this thing strikes me."

"Is that convenient to you, Watson?"

"Perfectly."

"Then you may expect us. Shall I have a cab called?"

"I'd prefer to walk, for this affair has flurried me rather."

"I'll join you in a walk, with pleasure," said his companion.

"Then we meet again at two o'clock. Au revoir, and good morning!"

We heard the steps of our visitors descend the stair (мы слышали, как шаги наших посетителей затихли на лестнице) and the bang of the front door (и как хлопнула входная: «парадная» дверь). In an instant Holmes had changed (в мгновение /ока/ Холмс преобразился: «изменился») from the languid dreamer to the man of action (из вялого мечтателя в человека действия).

"Your hat and boots, Watson, quick (ваши шляпу и ботинки, Ватсон, быстро)! Not a moment to lose! (/нельзя/ терять времени; moment — миг, минута)" He rushed into his room in his dressing-gown (он бросился в свою комнату в халате) and was back again in a few seconds in a frock-coat (и через несколько секунд вернулся /уже/ в сюртуке). We hurried together down the stairs and into the street (мы вместе поспешили вниз по лестнице на улицу). Dr. Mortimer and Baskerville were still visible about two hundred yards ahead of us (доктор Мортимер и Баскервиль еще виднелись ярдах в двухстах впереди: «впереди нас») in the direction of Oxford Street (/идущие/ по направлению к Оксфорд-стрит).

"Shall I run on and stop them (мне побежать за ними и остановить)?"

"Not for the world, my dear Watson (ни в коем случае, мой дорогой Ватсон; for the world — ни за что на свете). I am perfectly satisfied with your company (я полностью удовлетворен вашей компанией) if you will tolerate mine (если вы стерпите мою). Our friends are wise (наши друзья правы; to be wise — знать; быть осведомленным), for it is certainly a very fine morning for a walk (поскольку сегодня действительно прекрасное утро для прогулки)."
