Английский язык с Р. Л. Стивенсоном. Остров сокровищ

But Dick was not to be comforted (но Дика нельзя было успокоить); indeed, it was soon plain to me that the lad was falling sick (скоро мне стало ясно, что этот парень заболевал); hastened by heat, exhaustion, and the shock of his alarm (ускоряемая жарой, истощением и страхом; to hasten — спешить, торопить, ускорять; shock — удар; потрясение, шок), the fever, predicted by Doctor Livesey, was evidently growing swiftly higher

(лихорадка, предсказанная доктором Ливси, очевидно стремительно усиливалась: «была очевидно растущей быстро выше»).

It was fine open walking here, upon the summit (было легко и свободно идти здесь, на вершине); our way lay a little downhill, for, as I have said, the plateau tilted towards the west (наш путь лежал немного вниз по склону, потому что, как я сказал, плоскогорье наклонялось к западу). The pines, great and small, grew wide apart (сосны, большие и маленькие, росли далеко друг от друга: «широко отдельно, в стороны»; apart — в стороне, отдельно, порознь

); and even between the clumps of nutmeg and azalea (и даже между группами = среди зарослей мускатного ореха и азалий), wide open spaces baked in the hot sunshine (широкие открытые пространства пеклись в жарком солнечном свете; to bake — печь, запекать; обжигать). Striking, as we did, pretty near north-west across the island (идя по острову довольно близко к северо-западу; to strike — ударять; направляться, сворачивать /как правило с указанием направления/

), we drew, on the one hand ever nearer under the shoulders of the Spy-glass (мы приближались, с одной стороны, все ближе к склону Подзорной Трубы), and on the other, looked ever wider over that western bay where I had once tossed and trembled in the coracle (с другой стороны, видели все шире ту западную бухту, где меня однажды кидало и кружило в челноке; to tremble — дрожать; колыхаться, трястись).

“I told you,” said he — “I told you, you had sp’iled your Bible. If it aint no good to swear by, what do you suppose a sperrit would give for it? Not that!” and he snapped his big fingers, halting a moment on his crutch.
