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

"When we asked the man concerning his people (когда мы спросили человека о его народе), he said, 'I have many brothers (у меня много братьев), and laughed in a way that was not good (и засмеялся нехорошим смехом: «засмеялся образом, который был нехорош»). And when he was in his full strength (а когда он полностью набрался сил: «был в своей полной силе») he went away (он ушел), and with him went Noda (и с ним ушла Нода), daughter to the chief (дочь вождя). First, after that, was one of our bitches brought to pup (впервые после этого ощенилась одна из наших сук; to pup — ощениться). And never was there such a breed of dogs (и никогда не было такой породы собак), — big-headed, thick-jawed, and short-haired, and helpless (большеголовые, с сильными челюстями и короткой шерстью, и беспомощные). Well do I remember my father, Otsbaok, a strong man (я хорошо помню моего отца Отсбаока, сильного человека). His face was black with anger at such helplessness (его лицо потемнело от гнева при /виде/ такой беспомощности), and he took a stone, so, and so (и он взял камень, вот так и так), and there was no more helplessness (и больше не было беспомощности). And two summers after that came Noda back to us with a man-child in the hollow of her arm (а через два лета после этого к нам вернулась Нода с мальчиком на руках; hollow — выемка, впадина, ямка).

"And that was the beginning (и это было начало). Came a second white man (пришел другой белый человек), with short-haired dogs (с короткошерстными собаками), which he left behind him when he went (которых он оставил, когда ушел). And with him went six of our strongest dogs (а с ним ушли шесть наших самых сильных псов), for which, in trade, he had given Koo-So-Tee, my mother's brother (за которых в обмен он дал Ку-Со-Ти, брату моей матери), a wonderful pistol that fired with great swiftness six times (замечательный пистолет, который стрелял шесть раз с удивительной быстротой). And Koo-So-Tee was very big, what of the pistol (и Ку-Со-Ти стал очень важным из-за пистолета), and laughed at our bows and arrows (и смеялся над нашими луками и стрелами). 'Woman's things, he called them («бабскими погремушками» называл он их; things — принадлежности, утварь), and went forth against the bald-face grizzly (и вышел против белоголового гризли; bald — лысый, плешивый; с белым пятном на лбу), with the pistol in his hand (с пистолетом в руке). Now it be known that it is not good to hunt the bald-face with a pistol (теперь известно, что не годится охотиться на «белоголового» с пистолетом), but how were we to know (но откуда нам было знать)? and how was Koo-So-Tee to know (и откуда было знать Ку-Со-Ти)?
