magazine ["mxgq'zJn], iron ['aIqn], rebuilt ["rJ'bIlt]
There was a log house, chinked white with mortar on a hill above the lake. There was a bell on a pole by the door to call the people in to meals. Behind the house were fields and behind the fields was the timber. A line of lombardy poplars ran from the house to the dock. Other poplars ran along the point. A road went up to the hills along the edge of the timber and along that road he picked blackberries. Then that log house was burned down and all the guns that had been on deer foot racks above the open fire place were burned and afterwards their barrels, with the lead melted in the magazines, and the stocks burned away, lay out on the heap of ashes that were used to make lye for the big iron soap kettles, and you asked Grandfather if you could have them to play with, and he said, no. You see they were his guns still and he never bought any others. Nor did he hunt any more. The house was rebuilt in the same place out of lumber now and painted white and from its porch you saw the poplars and the lake beyond; but there were never any more guns. The barrels of the guns that had hung on the deer feet on the wall of the log house lay out there on the heap of ashes and no one ever touched them.
In the Black Forest
[19] after the war, we rented a trout stream (В Шварцвальде после войны мы арендовали ручей, в котором водилась форель; trout — форель) and there were two ways to walk to it (и к нему можно было пройти двумя путями). One was down the valley from Triberg (один = первый — /спуститься/ от Триберга в долину) and around the valley road (и /идти/ по дороге через долину) in the shade of the trees that bordered the white road (в тени деревьев, которые окаймляли белую дорогу), and then up a side road that went up through the hills (а потом вверх по тропинке: «боковой дороге», поднимавшейся между холмов) past many small farms, with the big Schwarzwald houses (мимо множества небольших ферм с большими шварцвальдскими домами), until that road crossed the stream (/и так/ до того места, где дорога пересекала ручей). That was where our fishing began (там мы и начали ловить рыбу: «это было /то место/, где наша рыбная ловля началась»).
