Mr Kelada, as was his habit, rushed the new topic. He told us all that was to be known about pearls. I do not believe Ramsay knew anything about them at all, but he could not resist the opportunity to have a fling at the Levantine, and in five minutes we were in the middle of a heated argument. I had seen Mr Kelada vehement and voluble before, but never so voluble and vehement as now.
At last something that Ramsay said stung him (наконец, что-то, что сказал Рэмзи, уязвило его:
"Well, I ought to know what I am talking about (ну, я, должно быть знаю, о чем я говорю). I`m going to Japan just to look into this Japanese pearl business (я еду в Японию как раз взглянуть на этот японский жемчужный бизнес). I`m in the trade (это моя специальность: «я есть в этом ремесле/профессии») and there`s not a man in it (и нет ни одного человека в нем /в это деле/) who won`t tell you that what I say about pearls goes (кто не сказал бы вам, что то, что я говорю о жемчуге, идет = является достоверным:
said [sed], thumped [TAmpqd], world [wWld], worth [wWT]
At last something that Ramsay said stung him, for he thumped the table and shouted:
"Well, I ought to know what I am talking about. I`m going to Japan just to look into this Japanese pearl business. I`m in the trade and there`s not a man in it who won`t tell you that what I say about pearls goes. I know all the best pearls in the world, and what I don`t know about pearls isn`t worth knowing."
Here was news for us (здесь была новость =
loquacity [lqu'kwxsItI], business ['bIznIs], vaguely ['veIglI], errand ['erqnd], triumphantly ['traIqmfqntlI]
Here was news for us, for Mr Kelada, with all his loquacity, had never told anyone what his business was. We only knew vaguely that he was going to Japan on some commercial errand. He looked round the table triumphantly.
