Английский язык с Джеком Лондоном. В далекой стране (рассказы)

"As I say (как я говорю), with our dogs, so with us (как наши собаки, так и мы). And one day came the first white man (и однажды пришел первый белый человек). He dragged himself (он притащился), so, on hand and knee, in the snow (вот так, на четвереньках, в снегу; on hand and knee — ползком; hand — рука /кисть/; knee — колено). And his skin was stretched tight (а его кожа была туго натянута), and his bones were sharp beneath (а под ней были острые кости = выпирали кости). Never was such a man (никогда не было такого человека), we thought (думали мы), and we wondered of what strange tribe he was, and of its land (и задавались вопросом, из какого чужого племени он родом и из какой земли; to wonder — интересоваться, желать знать). And he was weak, most weak (а он был слаб, очень слаб), like a little child (как маленький ребенок), so that we gave him a place by the fire (так что мы дали ему место у костра), and warm furs to lie upon (и теплые меха, чтобы лежать на них), and we gave him food (и мы давали ему еду = кормили его) as little children are given food (как кормят маленьких детей: «как маленьким детям дается еда»).

tight [taIt], beneath [bI'nJT], wonder ['wAndq]

"As I say, with our dogs, so with us. And one day came the first white man. He dragged himself, so, on hand and knee, in the snow. And his skin was stretched tight, and his bones were sharp beneath. Never was such a man, we thought, and we wondered of what strange tribe he was, and of its land. And he was weak, most weak, like a little child, so that we gave him a place by the fire, and warm furs to lie upon, and we gave him food as little children are given food.

"And with him was a dog (а с ним была собака), large as three of our dogs (большая, как три наших собаки), and very weak (и очень слабая). The hair of this dog was short, and not warm (шерсть этой собаки была короткая и не теплая = не грела), and the tail was frozen so that the end fell off (а хвост так замерз, что кончик отвалился; to fall off — отпадать, отваливаться). And this strange dog we fed (и эту необычную собаку мы кормили; to feed — кормить), and bedded by the fire (и выделили /ей/ место у огня; to bed — выделять кому-либо место для ночлега; стлать подстилку /для лошади или другого животного/), and fought from it our dogs (и защищали ее от наших собак;

to fight — защищать, оказывать поддержку, отстаивать), which else would have killed him (которые бы иначе убили ее). And what of the moose meat and the sun-dried salmon (и благодаря лосиному мясу и вяленой лососине), the man and dog took strength to themselves (человек и пес набрались сил); and what of the strength they became big and unafraid (а благодаря силе они стали важными и смелыми). And the man spoke loud words and laughed at the old men and young men (и мужчина стал говорить развязные слова и смеяться над стариками и молодыми мужчинами; loud — громкий, шумный; развязный, вульгарный), and looked boldly upon the maidens (и посматривать дерзко на девиц). And the dog fought with our dogs (а пес дрался с нашими собаками), and for all of his short hair and softness slew three of them in one day (и, несмотря на свою короткую шерсть и изнеженность, убил троих из них за один день; soft — изнеженный).
