Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Снега Килиманджар

It was strange, too, wasn't it, that when he fell in love with another woman, that woman should always have more money than the last one? But when he no longer was in love, when he was only lying, as to this woman, now, who had the most money of all, who had all the money there was, who had had a husband and children, who had taken lovers and been dissatisfied with them, and who loved him dearly as a writer, as a man, as a companion and as a proud possession; it was strange that when he did not love her at all and was lying, that he should be able to give her more for her money when he had really loved.

We must all be cut out for what we do, he thought (все мы, должно быть, созданы для своих дел, — подумал он; to cut out — вырезать; выкроить; to be cut out for smth. — быть /словно/ созданным для чего-либо). However you make your living (то, как ты зарабатываешь себе на жизнь) is where your talent lies (это и есть твой талант: «/это то/, где лежит =

в чем заключается твой талант»). He had sold vitality, in one form or another, all his life (он всю жизнь, в той или иной форме, продавал свои силы; vitality — жизненность; живость; энергия; to sell) and when your affections are not too involved (а когда твои чувства не затронуты: «не слишком вовлечены») you give much better value for the money (/то/ за /полученные/ деньги даешь товар лучшего качества; value — ценность; good value for money — то, что стоит свою цену; предмет, стоящий уплаченных за него денег). He had found that out (он убедился в этом; to find — найти, обнаружить; to find out — разузнать, выяснить; понять

) but he would never write that, now, either (но и об этом он теперь /уже/ никогда не напишет). No, he would not write that (да, не напишет), although it was well worth writing (а написать стоило бы: «хотя это было вполне достойно написания»).

Now she came in sight (вот она появилась в поле зрения), walking across the open toward the camp (идет по долине: «через открытое пространство» к палаткам). She was wearing jodphurs (на ней джодпуры[13]; to wear — быть одетым /во что-либо/; носить /одежду/) and carrying her rifle (/в руках она/ держит ружье; to carry — нести, носить /с собой/). The two boys had a Tommie slung (двое слуг тащат подвешенную /на палке/ газель;

sling — праща; рогатка; петля; to sling — перекинуть /ремень и т. п. через что-либо/; поднимать груз с помощью стропа, ремня; подвешивать /что-либо/) and they were coming along behind her (они идут сзади).
