Английский язык с Ф. Баумом. Волшебник Изумрудного Города

Then, being prepared for the journey, they all started for the Emerald City (после этого, подготовившись к путешествию, они все отправились в Изумрудный Город); and the Winkies gave them three cheers (и Винки три раза прокричали им «ура»; cheer — настроение; одобрительное, приветственное восклицание; to give a cheer — сказать что-то ободряющее; cheers! — за ваше здоровье! /тост/; ура!) and many good wishes to carry with them (и высказали множество добрых пожеланий им в дорогу: «чтобы они несли /их/ с собой»).

"We must try to find him (мы должны постараться найти его)," said the girl.

wear [weq], sunbonnet ['sAn"bOnIt], prepared [prI'peqd]

Dorothy went to the Witch's cupboard to fill her basket with food for the journey, and there she saw the Golden Cap. She tried it on her own head and found that it fitted her exactly. She did not know anything about the charm of the Golden Cap, but she saw that it was pretty, so she made up her mind to wear it and carry her sunbonnet in the basket.

Then, being prepared for the journey, they all started for the Emerald City; and the Winkies gave them three cheers and many good wishes to carry with them.

14. The Winged Monkeys (крылатые обезьяны)

You will remember there was no road (как вы, наверное, помните, дороги-то не было) — not even a pathway (/не было/ даже тропинки) — between the castle of the Wicked Witch and the Emerald City (между замком Злой Ведьмы и Изумрудным Городом).

When the four travelers went in search of the Witch (когда четверо путешественников отправились на поиски Ведьмы) she had seen them coming (она увидела, что они идут), and so sent the Winged Monkeys to bring them to her (и отправила Крылатых Обезьян, чтобы они принесли их к ней).

It was much harder to find their way back (намного тяжелее оказалось найти дорогу обратно) through the big fields of buttercups and yellow daisies (через большие поля лютиков и желтых маргариток) than it was being carried (чем когда их несли).

road [rqud], pathway ['pQ:TweI], witch [wItS], search [sq:tS]

You will remember there was no road — not even a pathway — between the castle of the Wicked Witch and the Emerald City.

When the four travelers went in search of the Witch she had seen them coming, and so sent the Winged Monkeys to bring them to her.

It was much harder to find their way back through the big fields of buttercups and yellow daisies than it was being carried.

They knew, of course, they must go straight east, toward the rising sun (конечно, они знали, что они должны идти прямо /на/ восток, по направлению к встающему солнцу); and they started off in the right way (и они отправились в путь в правильном направлении). But at noon, when the sun was over their heads (но в полдень, когда солнце оказалось у них над головами), they did not know which was east and which was west (они /уже/ не знали, в какой стороне восток, а в какой запад), and that was the reason they were lost in the great fields (и именно по этой причине они потерялись = заблудились в больших полях; to lose — не сохранять, терять /что-либо/; потеряться, затеряться, пропасть). They kept on walking, however (как бы то ни было, они продолжали идти; to keep on — продолжать делать /что-либо/

), and at night the moon came out and shone brightly (а ночью взошла луна и стала ярко светить; to come out — выходить, появляться; появиться, показаться /о солнце, луне, звездах/; to shine). So they lay down among the sweet smelling yellow flowers (тогда они улеглись среди сладко пахнущих = душистых желтых цветов) and slept soundly until morning (и проспали крепко до утра) — all but the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman (все, за исключением Страшилы и Железного Дровосека).

The next morning the sun was behind a cloud (на следующее утро солнце оказалось /скрытым/ за облаком), but they started on, as if they were quite sure which way they were going (но они /все равно/ отправились в путь, словно были совершенно уверены, каким путем они шли).
