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

 Then the pearl ear-rings dangled under her rosy, small ears. She shook her head sharply, to see the swing of the drops. They went chill against her neck, in little, sharp touches. Then she stood still to look at herself, bridling her head in the dignified fashion. Then she simpered at herself. Catching her own eye, she could not help winking at herself and laughing.

She turned to look at the box. There was a scrap of paper with this posy:

“Pearls may be fair, but thou art fairer.
Wear these for me, and I’ll love the wearer.”

She made a grimace and a grin (она сделала гримасу = поморщилась и усмехнулась; grin – оскал зубов, усмешка). But she was drawn to the mirror again, to look at her ear-rings (но ее снова потянуло к зеркалу – посмотреть на свои серьги; to draw – тянуть/ся/, тащить/ся/; притягивать, привлекать).

Whiston had made the fire burn, so he came to look for her (Уистон уже развел огонь: «заставил огонь гореть», поэтому пошел ее искать; to make – делать; заставлять; приводить в какое-л. состояние). When she heard him, she started round quickly, guiltily (когда она услышала его, то вздрогнула и быстро повернулась с виноватым видом; guilt – вина). She was watching him with intent blue eyes when he appeared (она следила за ним = встретила его пристальными голубыми глазами, когда он появился).

He did not see much, in his morning-drowsy warmth (он не увидел много в своем сонном утреннем тепле = по-утреннему сонный, размягченный, он ничего не заметил). He gave her, as ever, a feeling of warmth and slowness (он, как всегда, принес ей ощущение тепла и неторопливости). His eyes were very blue, very kind, his manner simple (его глаза были очень голубые, очень добрые, его манеры простые; manner – метод, способ; манера, поведение).

“What ha’ you got?” he asked (что у тебя? – спросил он; ha’ = /диал./ have).

“Valentines,” she said briskly (поздравления на Валентинов день, – живо/проворно сказала она), ostentatiously turning to show him the silk handkerchief (хвастливо поворачиваясь, чтобы показать ему шелковый носовой платок; ostentatiously – напоказ, для виду; хвастливо). She thrust it under his nose (она сунула его ему под нос). “Smell how good,” she said (понюхай, как приятно /пахнет/, – сказала она).
