Английский язык с Ф. Баумом. Волшебник Изумрудного Города

The Scarecrow was both pleased and proud at the fulfilment of his greatest wish (Страшила был одновременно доволен и горд исполнением своего самого большого = заветного желания; to fulfil — выполнять; исполнять, осуществлять), and having thanked Oz warmly he went back to his friends (и, горячо поблагодарив Оза, он вернулся к своим друзьям; warmly — тепло; горячо, сердечно, дружественно).

measure ['meZq], needle [ni:dl], thoroughly ['TArqlI], mixture ['mIkstSq], hereafter ["hI(q)r'Q:ftq], bran-new ["brxn'nju:], fulfilment [ful'fIlmqnt]

Then he entered the back room and took up a measure of bran, which he mixed with a great many pins and needles. Having shaken them together thoroughly, he filled the top of the Scarecrow's head with the mixture and stuffed the rest of the space with straw, to hold it in place.

When he had fastened the Scarecrow's head on his body again he said to him, "Hereafter you will be a great man, for I have given you a lot of bran-new brains." The Scarecrow was both pleased and proud at the fulfilment of his greatest wish, and having thanked Oz warmly he went back to his friends.

Dorothy looked at him curiously (Дороти взглянула на него с любопытством). His head was quite bulged out at the top with brains (его голова была раздута на макушке от мозгов; bulge — выпуклость, округлый выступ; to bulge out — раздуваться, выпячиваться).

"How do you feel (как ты себя чувствуешь)?" she asked.

"I feel wise indeed (я на самом деле чувствую себя мудрым)," he answered earnestly (искренне ответил он; earnest — серьезный, важный; искренний, убежденный). "When I get used to my brains I shall know everything (когда я привыкну к своим мозгам, я буду знать все)."

"Why are those needles and pins sticking out of your head (а почему из твоей головы торчат все эти иголки и булавки; to stick out — высовываться, торчать)?" asked the Tin Woodman.

"That is proof that he is sharp (это доказательство того, что он умный; игра слов: sharp — острый, отточенный; умный, сообразительный; as sharp as a needle — очень сообразительный)," remarked the Lion.

"Well, I must go to Oz and get my heart (что ж, я должен пойти к Озу и получить свое сердце)," said the Woodman.

So he walked to the Throne Room and knocked at the door (поэтому он пошел к Тронному Залу и постучал в дверь).

"Come in (входи)," called Oz, and the Woodman entered and said (крикнул Оз, и Дровосек вошел и сказал), "I have come for my heart (я пришел за своим сердцем)."

Dorothy looked at him curiously. His head was quite bulged out at the top with brains.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

"I feel wise indeed," he answered earnestly. "When I get used to my brains I shall know everything."

"Why are those needles and pins sticking out of your head?" asked the Tin Woodman.

"That is proof that he is sharp," remarked the Lion.

"Well, I must go to Oz and get my heart," said the Woodman.

So he walked to the Throne Room and knocked at the door.

"Come in," called Oz, and the Woodman entered and said, "I have come for my heart."

"Very well (очень хорошо)," answered the little man. "But I shall have to cut a hole in your breast (но мне придется прорезать дыру у тебя на груди), so I can put your heart in the right place (чтобы я смог вложить твое сердце на правильное = надлежащее

место). I hope it won't hurt you (я надеюсь, что это не причинит тебе боли)."

"Oh, no," answered the Woodman. "I shall not feel it at all (я этого вовсе не почувствую)." So Oz brought a pair of tinsmith's shears (тогда Оз принес пару ножниц жестянщика; shear — большие ножницы; инструмент для стрижки) and cut a small, square hole in the left side of the Tin Woodman's breast (и вырезал небольшую квадратную дыру на левой стороне груди Железного Дровосека).

Then, going to a chest of drawers (затем /он/ подошел к комоду; chest — ящик, сундук; drawer — выдвижной ящик /комода и т. п./; chest of drawers — комод), he took out a pretty heart (и достал прелестное сердце), made entirely of silk and stuffed with sawdust (сделанное полностью из шелка и набитое /древесными/ опилками; saw — пила; dust — пыль; sawdust — древесные опилки).

"Very well," answered the little man. "But I shall have to cut a hole in your breast, so I can put your heart in the right place. I hope it won't hurt you."
