don't like the cruise (все, что я говорю — мы не дома снова = мы еще не

вернулись домой, и мне не нравится плавание).'

despised [dIs`paIzd] corner [`kLnq] downright [`daunraIt] wife [waIf]

In the meantime, the squire and Captain Smollett were still on pretty distant

terms with one another. The squire made no bones about the matter; he

despised the captain. The captain, on his part, never spoke but when he was

spoken to, and then sharp and short and dry, and not a word wasted. He

owned, when driven into a corner, that he seemed to have been wrong about

the crew, that some of them were as brisk as he wanted to see, and all had

behaved fairly well. As for the ship, he had taken a downright fancy to her.

'She'll lie a point nearer the wind than a man has a right to expect of his own

married wife, sir. But,' he would add, 'all I say is we're not home again, and I

don't like the cruise.'

1. The squire, at this, would turn away and march up and down the deck, chin in air

(сквайр, при этих /словах/, отворачивался и шагал взад-вперед по палубе,

/задрав/ подбородок кверху).

2. 'A trifle more of that man (еще один пустяк от этого человека = еще

немного),' he would say, 'and I shall explode (и я взорвусь = выйду из

терпения).'

3. We had some heavy weather (у нас была тяжелая погода = пришлось

перенести бурю), which only proved the qualities of the Hispaniola (что только

подтвердило достоинства Испаньолы). Every man on board seemed well content

(каждый на борту казался вполне удовлетворенным), and they must have been

hard to please if they had been otherwise (и им было бы, видимо, трудно

угодить, если бы они были бы другими = недовольными; otherwise — иначе,

иным способом; иным образом; по-другому; в противном случае); for it is my

belief there was never a ship's company so spoiled since Noah put to sea (так как,

по моему мнению, никогда не было такой избалованной корабельной

команды, с тех пор как Ной вышел в море). Double grog was going on the least

excuse (двойная /порция/ грога случалась = выдавалась /матросам/ при

малейшем предлоге); there was duff on odd days (был пудинг /с ягодами/ по

нечетным дням), as, for instance, if the squire heard it was any man's birthday

(так же, например, если сквайр слышал, что у кого-то из матросов день

рождения); and always a barrel of apples standing broached in the waist (и всегда

бочка с яблоками стояла открытая на шкафуте; waist — талия, средняя

часть;шкафут /средняячасть —отбакадошканцев —верхней

палубы

корабля/) for anyone to help himself that had a fancy (чтобы каждый угощался,

кто захочет; fancy — прихоть, склонность).
