Английский язык с Р.Л. Стивенсоном. Остров сокровищ

enough place of it in the cabin of theHispaniola, with plenty of arms and

ammunition, and things to eat, and excellent wines, there had been one thing

overlooked — we had no water. I was thinking this over, when there came

ringing over the island the cry of a man at the point of death. I was not new to

violent death — I have served his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland,

and got a wound myself at Fontenoy — but I know my pulse went dot and

carry one. 'Jim Hawkins is gone' was my first thought.

2. It is something to have been an old soldier, but more still to have been a

doctor. There is no time to dilly-dally in our work. And so now I made up my

mind instantly, and with no time lost returned to the shore, and jumped on

board the jolly-boat.

1. By good fortune Hunter pulled a good oar (по счастливой случайности,

Хантер оказался хорошим гребцом). We made the water fly (мы заставляли

воду летать = стремительно понеслись по воде); and the boat was soon

alongside (и лодка была вскоре у борта; alongside — рядом, у борта), and I

aboard the schooner (и я /взобрался/ на борт шхуны).

2. I found them all shaken, as was natural (я обнаружил = увидел, что все они

потрясены, что было естественно). The squire was sitting down, as white as a

sheet (сквайр сидел, бледный как полотно; sheet — лист /бумаги/, полотно),

thinking of the harm he had led us to, the good soul! (раздумывая о том зле, к

которому он нас привел = об опасностях, которым мы из-за него

подверглись, — добрая душа!) and one of the six forecastle hands was little

better (и один из шести баковых матросов был немного лучше = также

расстроен).

3. 'There's a man (вон человек),' says Captain Smollett, nodding towards him

(сказал капитан Смоллетт, кивая в его сторону), 'new to this work (новый для

этой работы = не привык к разбою). He came nigh-hand fainting, doctor when

he heard the cry (он едва не упал в обморок, доктор, когда услышал крик).

Another touch of the rudder and that man would join us (еще немного: «легкое

касание руля» — и тот человек присоединится к нам; touch — штрих, черта,

небольшая примесь; rudder — руль).'

4. I told my plan to the captain (я рассказал свой план капитану), and between us

we settle on the details of its accomplishment (и мы вместе: «между нами»

обсудили детали его выполнения; to settle — поселяться; решать,

улаживать).

1. We put old Redruth in the gallery between the cabin and the forecastle (мы

поставил старого Редрута в коридоре между каютой и баком), with three or

four loaded muskets and mattress for protection (с тремя-четырьмя заряженными

мушкетами и матрацем для защиты). Hunter brought the boat round under the
