Английский язык с Джеромом К. Джеромом. Трое в лодке, не считая собаки (ASCII-IPA)

On a fine Sunday it presents this appearance nearly all day long (в ясное воскресенье река имеет такое обличье почти весь день; to present — представлять, являть собой), while, up the stream, and down the stream (в то время как, вверх и вниз по течению), lie, waiting their turn, outside the gates, long lines of still more boats (располагаются, ожидая своей очереди за воротами, длинные вереницы лодок; still more — еще больше); and boats are drawing near and passing away (и лодки приближаются и удаляются; to pass away — исчезать, проходить), so that the sunny river, from the Palace up to Hampton Church (так что солнечная река от дворца до Хэмптонской церкви)

, is dotted and decked with yellow, and blue (усеяна и украшена желтыми, синими), and orange (оранжевыми), and white (белыми), and red, and pink (красными и розовыми /точками/; to dot — обозначать точкой; покрывать, усеивать). All the inhabitants of Hampton and Moulsey dress themselves up in boating costume (все жители Хэмптона и Маулси одеваются в лодочные костюмы; inhabitant — житель, обитатель; to dress up — /изысканно/ одеваться, наряжаться)

, and come and mouch round the lock with their dogs (прогуливаются вокруг шлюза со своими собаками; to mouch — бездельничать, околачиваться), and flirt, and smoke, and watch the boats (и любезничают, и курят, и смотрят на лодки; to flirt — флиртовать, заигрывать, любезничать); and, altogether, what with the caps and jackets of the men (и, в общем, шапки и куртки мужчин); what with — из-за, в связи с) the pretty coloured dresses of the women (прелестные цветные платья женщин)

, the excited dogs, the moving boats (взволнованные собаки, движущиеся лодки), the white sails, the pleasant landscape (белые паруса, приятный ландшафт), and the sparkling water (и сверкающая вода), it is one of the gayest sights I know of near this dull old London town (/представляют собой/ одно из самых ярких, прекрасных зрелищ, /какие/ я знаю близ этого унылого старого Лондона).

saucy ['sO:sI] quay [ki:] inhabitant [In'h&bIt(@)nt]

I have stood and watched it, sometimes, when you could not see any water at all, but only a brilliant tangle of bright blazers, and gay caps, and saucy hats, and many-coloured parasols, and silken rugs, and cloaks, and streaming ribbons, and dainty whites; when looking down into the lock from the quay, you might fancy it was a huge box into which flowers of every hue and shade had been thrown pell-mell, and lay piled up in a rainbow heap, that covered every corner.
