Английский язык с Агатой Кристи. Убийство в Восточном Экспрессе (ASCII-IPA)

“I am glad you have come, Monsieur (я рад, что вы пришли, мсье),” said the conductor with a sigh of relief (сказал проводник со вздохом облегчения). “Everyone has been trying to enter (каждый пытается войти). The American lady (эта американка) — such screams as she gave (она так пронзительно кричала; scream — пронзительный крик, вопль, визг) — ma foi, I thought she too had been murdered (фр. Господи, я подумал, что ее тоже убивают)! I came at a run (я тут же прибежал; run — бег, пробег; at a run — бегом), and there she was screaming like a mad woman

(а она все еще вопила словно сумасшедшая; mad — помешанный, сумасшедший); and she cried out that she must fetch you (и кричала, что она должна привести вас), and she departed screeching at the top of her voice (и она ушла, вопя во весь голос; top — верхушка, вершина; высшая степень) and telling everybody whose carriage she passed what had occurred (и говоря каждому, чье купе она проходила, что случилось).”

rotundity [r@U'tVndItI] obstruct [@b'strVkt] relief [rI'li:f] screech [skri:tS]

“Let me pass if you please,” said M. Bouc.

Squeezing his rotundity past the obstructing passengers he entered the compartment, Poirot close behind him.

“I am glad you have come, Monsieur,” said the conductor with a sigh of relief. “Everyone has been trying to enter. The American lady — such screams as she gave — ma foi, I thought she too had been murdered! I came at a run, and there she was screaming like a mad woman; and she cried out that she must fetch you, and she departed screeching at the top of her voice and telling everybody whose carriage she passed what had occurred.”

He added, with a gesture of the hand (он добавил, /сопроводив слова/ жестом руки): “It is in there, Monsieur (он вот там, мсье). I have not touched it (я его не трогал).”

Hanging on the handle of the door (на ручке двери /висел/) that gave access to the next compartment (которая вела в соседнее купе; access — доступ; подход) was a large-checked rubber sponge-bag (/висела/ резиновая сумочка /для ванных принадлежностей/ в крупную клетку; checked — остановленный, задержанный; в клетку /о ткани/). Below it on the floor

(под ней, на полу), just where it had fallen from Mrs. Hubbard’s hand (именно там, где он выпал из рук миссис Хаббард), was a straight-bladed dagger (лежал кинжал с прямым лезвием; blade — лезвие, клинок) — a cheap affair (дешевая штуковина; affair — дело; разг. штука), sham Oriental (подделка под восточный /стиль/) with an embossed hilt (с чеканной рукояткой; to emboss — выбивать, чеканить) and a tapering blade (и заостренным клинком; tapering — сужающийся к концу, конический, заостренный). The blade was stained (клинок был испачкан; to stain — пятнать, покрывать пятнами) with patches (пятнами; patch — заплата; пятно /неправильной формы/)

of what looked like rust (которые выглядели, как ржавчина).

Poirot picked it up delicately (Пуаро осторожно поднял его).
