Английский язык с Ф. Баумом. Волшебник Изумрудного Города

So, the Lion being fully refreshed, and feeling quite himself again (поэтому/итак, когда Лев полностью отдохнул и снова пришел в себя; to feel quite oneself — прийти в себя: «чувствовать себя вполне самим собой»), they all started upon the journey (они все вместе отправились в путь), greatly enjoying the walk through the soft, fresh grass (чрезвычайно наслаждаясь прогулкой по мягкой, свежей траве; to enjoy — любить /что-либо/, получать удовольствие /от чего-либо/; наслаждаться); and it was not long before they reached the road of yellow brick (и вскоре они добрались до дороги из желтого кирпича) and turned again toward the Emerald City where the Great Oz dwelt (и снова повернули к Изумрудному Городу, где жил Великий /Волшебник/ Оз; to dwell — жить, обитать, находиться).

greatly ['greItlI], enjoy [In'dZOI], dwelt [dwelt]

"We must journey on until we find the road of yellow brick again," said Dorothy, "and then we can keep on to the Emerald City." So, the Lion being fully refreshed, and feeling quite himself again, they all started upon the journey, greatly enjoying the walk through the soft, fresh grass; and it was not long before they reached the road of yellow brick and turned again toward the Emerald City where the Great Oz dwelt.

The road was smooth and well paved, now (теперь дорога была гладкой и хорошо вымощенной), and the country about was beautiful (и местность вокруг была прекрасной), so that the travelers rejoiced in leaving the forest far behind (и путешественники радовались, что они оставили лес далеко позади), and with it the many dangers they had met in its gloomy shades (с его многочисленными опасностями, с которыми они встретились в его мрачных тенях; to meet — встречать; столкнуться /с чем-либо/, встретить /что-либо/). Once more they could see fences built beside the road (вновь они могли видеть = видели заборы, выстроенные вдоль дороги); but these were painted green (но эти /заборы/ были выкрашены в зеленый цвет), and when they came to a small house, in which a farmer evidently lived (и, когда они подошли к маленькому домику, в котором, очевидно, жил фермер), that also was painted green (он /домик/ тоже был выкрашен в зеленый цвет). They passed by several of these houses during the afternoon (они прошли мимо нескольких таких домиков в течение дня), and sometimes people came to the doors and looked at them (и иногда люди подходили к дверям и смотрели на них) as if they would like to ask questions (словно они хотели задать вопросы); but no one came near them nor spoke to them (но никто не подошел к ним и не заговорил с ними) because of the great Lion, of which they were very much afraid (из-за огромного Льва, которого они очень сильно боялись). The people were all dressed in clothing of a lovely emerald-green colour (все люди были одеты в одежду приятного изумрудно-зеленого цвета; clothing — одежда, платье) and wore peaked hats like those of the Munchkins (и носили остроконечные шляпы, как у Манчкинов; peak — пик, вершина; peaked — заостренный, остроконечный

).

smooth [smu:D], rejoice [rI'dZOIs], behind [bI'haInd], gloomy ['glu:mI], evidently ['evId(q)ntlI], afraid [q'freId]

"This must be the Land of Oz (это, должно быть, Страна Оз)," said Dorothy, "and we are surely getting near the Emerald City (и мы наверняка приближаемся к Изумрудному Городу)."

"Yes," answered the Scarecrow. "Everything is green here (все здесь зеленого цвета), while in the country of the Munchkins blue was the favorite color (тогда как в стране Манчкинов любимым цветом был голубой). But the people do not seem to be as friendly as the Munchkins (но люди = жители не кажутся столь же дружелюбными, как Манчкины), and I'm afraid we shall be unable to find a place to pass the night (и я боюсь, что мы не сможем найти место для ночлега: «чтобы провести ночь»)."
