Английский язык с Р. Л. Стивенсоном. Остров сокровищ

Squalling was the word for it, Pew’s anger rose so high at these objections; till at last, his passion completely taking the upper hand, he struck at them right and left in his blindness, and his stick sounded heavily on more than one.

These, in their turn, cursed back at the blind miscreant, threatened him in horrid terms, and tried in vain to catch the stick and wrest it from his grasp.

This quarrel was the saving of us (эта ссора была спасением для нас); for while it was still raging (пока она все еще бушевала), another sound came from the top of the hill on the side of the hamlet (другой звук донесся с вершины холма со стороны деревушки) — the tramp of horses galloping (топот скачущих галопом лошадей). Almost at the same time a pistol-shot, flash and report

(почти в тот же момент пистолетный выстрел, вспышка и звук выстрела; report — звенящее эхо /обычно от звука взрыва, выстрела/), came from the hedge-side (пришли = донеслись со стороны изгороди). And that was plainly the last signal of danger (и это был, очевидно, последний сигнал опасности); for the buccaneers turned at once and ran (потому что пираты развернулись сразу и побежали), separating in every direction (разделяясь во всех направлениях), one seaward along the cove (кто-то /побежал/ в сторону моря, через = по берегу моря), one slant across the hill (кто-то по склону холма), and so on

(и так далее), so that in half a minute not a sign of them remained but Pew (так что через полминуты ни следа их не осталось, кроме Пью). Him they had deserted (его они бросили; to desert — покидать, бросать), whether in sheer panic or out of revenge for his ill words and blows, I know not (либо в полной панике = убегая в паническом страхе, либо из мести за его дурные слова и удары, я не знаю; ill — больной; плохой; sheer — абсолютный, полнейший, сущий, явный); but there he remained behind (но там он остался /один/), tapping up and down the road in frenzy (стуча палкой там и сям по дороге в исступлении; frenzy — безумие, бешенство

), and groping and calling for his comrades (протягивая руки и зовя своих товарищей; to grope — ощупывать, идти ощупью). Finally he took the wrong turn (в конце концов, он повернул не туда: «взял неправильный поворот»), and ran a few steps past me (и пробежал в нескольких шагах от меня; past — мимо, за, по ту сторону), towards the hamlet, crying (по направлению к деревне, крича): —

“Johnny, Black Dog, Dirk (Джонни, Черный Пес, Дэрк),” and other names (/он называл/ и другие имена), “you won’t leave old Pew, mates — not old Pew (вы /же/ не оставите старого Пью, друзья, не оставите; won’t = will not)!”
