Английский язык с Дж. Лондоном. Любовь к жизни (рассказы)

He sat up and turned his attention to immediate affairs. He had worn through the blanket-wrappings, and his feet were shapeless lumps of raw meat. His last blanket was gone. Rifle and knife were both missing. He had lost his hat somewhere, with the bunch of matches in the band, but the matches against his chest were safe and dry inside the tobacco pouch and oil paper. He looked at his watch. It marked eleven o'clock and was still running. Evidently he had kept it wound.

He was calm and collected (он был спокоен и собран). Though extremely weak (хотя /и был/ чрезвычайно слаб), he had no sensation of pain (у него не было ощущения боли). He was not hungry (он не был голоден). The thought of food was not even pleasant to him (мысль о еде не была даже приятна ему), and whatever he did was done by his reason alone (и все, что он ни делал, делалось лишь разумом = по велению разума). He ripped off his pants' legs to the knees and bound them about his feet (он оборвал штаны с ног до колен и перевязал ими ступни; to bind). Somehow he had succeeded in retaining the tin bucket (каким-то образом ему удалось сохранить оловянное ведерко). He would have some hot water (он выпьет кипятку) before he began what he foresaw was to be a terrible journey to the ship (прежде чем начнет то, что, как он предвидел, будет внушающим страх путешествием к кораблю).

His movements were slow (его движения были медленными). He shook as with a palsy (он трясся, как в параличе). When he started to collect dry moss (когда он начал собирать сухой мох), he found he could not rise to his feet (он обнаружил, что не может подняться на ноги). He tried again and again (он пытался снова и снова), then contented himself with crawling about on hands and knees (затем удовольствовался тем, что пополз на четвереньках). Once he crawled near to the sick wolf (разок он прополз возле больного волка). The animal dragged itself reluctantly out of his way (животное неохотно отодвинулось с дороги; to drag — тянуться, тащиться, медленно двигаться), licking its chops with a tongue which seemed hardly to have the strength to curl (облизываясь языком, у которого, казалось, едва есть силы сворачиваться;

to lick one’s chops — облизываться). The man noticed that the tongue was not the customary healthy red (человек заметил, что язык был не обычного здорового красного цвета). It was a yellowish brown and seemed coated with a rough and half-dry mucus (он был желтовато-коричневым и казался покрытым неровной = свалявшейся и полусухой слизью; rough — грубый; неровный

).
