Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Знак четырех (ASCII-IPA)

ague ['eIgju:], stoicism ['st@uIsIz(@)m], injure ['IndZ@]

"Justice!" snarled the ex-convict. "A pretty justice! Whose loot is this, if it is not ours? Where is the justice that I should give it up to those who have never earned it? Look how I have earned it! Twenty long years in that fever-ridden swamp, all day at work under the mangrove-tree, all night chained up in the filthy convict-huts, bitten by mosquitoes, racked with ague, bullied by every cursed black-faced policeman who loved to take it out of a white man. That was how I earned the Agra treasure; and you talk to me of justice because I cannot bear to feel that I have paid this price only that another may enjoy it! I would rather swing a score of times, or have one of Tonga's darts in my hide, than live in a convict's cell and feel that another man is at his ease in a palace with the money that should be mine." Small had dropped his mask of stoicism, and all this came out in a wild whirl of words, while his eyes blazed, and the handcuffs clanked together with the impassioned movement of his hands. I could understand, as I saw the fury and the passion of the man, that it was no groundless or unnatural terror which had possessed Major Sholto when he first learned that the injured convict was upon his track.

"You forget that we know nothing of all this," said Holmes, quietly (вы забываете, что мы ничего об этом не знаем, — тихо сказал Холмс). "We have not heard your story (мы еще не знаем, что с вами приключилось: «мы не слышали вашу историю»), and we cannot tell how far justice may originally have been on your side (и мы не можем судить, насколько справедливость изначально могла быть на вашей стороне)."

"Well, sir, you have been very fair-spoken to me (ну, сэр, вы все время очень вежливы ко мне), though I can see that I have you to thank that I have these bracelets upon my wrists (хоть я и понимаю, что это вас я должен благодарить за эти браслеты у меня на запястьях). Still, I bear no grudge for that (все же я не держу на вас зла за это; to bear — носить, нести; питать, испытывать; grudge — недовольство; злоба). It is all fair and above-board (это все честно и откровенно; fair — честный; справедливый; беспристрастный; above-board — открытый, честный, прямой: «над доской = столом»). If you want to hear my story I have no wish to hold it back (если вы хотите услышать мою историю, у меня нет желания ее утаивать; to hold — держать; to hold back — воздерживаться, удерживаться; утаивать). What I say to you is God's truth, every word of it (я говорю вам истинную правду, до последнего слова; God — бог; God's truth — святая истина, истинная правда). Thank you; you can put the glass beside me here (спасибо, можете поставить стакан здесь, рядом со мной), and I'll put my lips to it if I am dry (я попью: «приложу к нему губы», если в горле пересохнет; dry — сухой; испытывающий жажду).
