Английский с Дэвидом Г. Лоуренсом. Тень в розовом саду / D. H. Lawrence. The Shadow in the Rose Garden

“There’s something up with you, isn’t there?” he asked definitely (с тобой что-то стряслось, не так ли? – уверенно спросил он; to be up – /разг./ случаться, происходить; definitely – определенно, точно).

“Yes,” she said, “but that’s no reason why you should torment me (да, – сказала она, – но это не повод для того, чтобы ты меня терзал).”

“I don’t torment you (я тебя не терзаю). What’s the matter (в чем дело)?”

“Why should you know?” she cried, in hate and desperation (зачем тебе знать? – воскликнула она в ненависти и отчаянии).

Something snapped (что-то хрустнуло; to snap – щелкать, трещать; захлопывать/ся/ с треском). He started and caught his pipe as it fell from his mouth (он вздрогнул и поймал трубку, выпавшую у него изо рта). Then he pushed forward the bitten-off mouth-piece with his tongue (затем вытолкнул языком откушенный мундштук; to push – толкать, пихать; to bite off – откусывать; to bite – кусать/ся/; piece – кусок; часть; штука, отдельный предмет), took it from off his lips, and looked at it (снял его с губ и посмотрел на него). Then he put out his pipe, and brushed the ash from his waistcoat (потом он погасил трубку и стряхнул пепел со своего жилета; to put – класть, ставить; to put out – тушить, гасить; to brush – чистить щеткой; удалять, смахивать /пыль, мусор/; brush – щетка; waist – талия; coat – пиджак). After which he raised his head (после чего поднял голову).

“I want to know (я хочу знать),” he said. His face was greyish pale, and set uglily (его лицо был землисто-бледным, застывшим уродливо = в безобразной гримасе; greyish – сероватый; grey – серый; set – неподвижный, застывший; to set – ставить, помещать; затвердеть, застыть /о лице, взгляде/; ugly – безобразный, уродливый).
