Английский язык с Р. Л. Стивенсоном. Остров сокровищ

THERE was no return of the mutineers (бунтовщики не возвращались: «не было возвращения бунтовщиков») — not so much as another shot out of the woods (даже ни одного выстрела из леса /не было сделано/; not so much as — даже не, не столько, сколько). They had “got their rations for that day (они получили свой паек на тот день = на сегодня),” as the captain put it (как выразился капитан; to put — поставить; определить; говорить, выразить)

, and we had the place to ourselves and a quiet time to overhaul the wounded and get dinner (и у нас было место для нас самих и спокойное время, чтобы = мы могли без опасений перевязать раненых и приготовить обед; to overhaul — тщательно осматривать, проверять). Squire and I cooked outside in spite of the danger (мы со сквайром готовили снаружи = во дворе, несмотря на опасность), and even outside we could hardly tell what we were at (и даже во дворе мы едва ли могли сказать, чем занимаемся = все валилось из рук), for horror of the loud groans that reached us from the doctor’s patients (из-за ужаса громких стонов, которые доносились до нас от пациентов доктора).

Out of the eight men who had fallen in the action

(из восьми человек, павших = пострадавших в бою), only three still breathed (только трое еще дышали = остались в живых) — that one of the pirates who had been shot at the loophole (один из пиратов, которого подстрелили у бойницы), Hunter, and Captain Smollett (Хантер и капитан Смоллетт); and of these the first two were as good as dead (и из этих /трех/ первые двое были фактически мертвы); the mutineer, indeed, died under the doctor’s knife (бунтовщик, действительно, умер под докторским ножом = во время операции), and Hunter, do what we could, never recovered consciousness in this world (а Хантер, /несмотря на то, что/ мы делали /все/, что могли, так и не пришел в сознание на этом свете)

. He lingered all day (он мучительно умирал весь день; to linger — задерживаться, затягиваться, медленно умирать), breathing loudly like the old buccaneer at home in his apoplectic fit (дыша громко, как старый пират в /нашем/ доме в своем апоплексическом приступе = после удара); but the bones of his chest had been crushed by the blow (но кости его грудной клетки = ребра были раздроблены ударом) and his skull fractured in falling (и его череп проломлен при падении), and some time in the following night (в какой-то момент на следующую ночь), without sign or sound

(без жеста или звука = тихо, без стона), he went to his Maker (он отправился к Создателю).
