Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Первый сборник рассказов (ASCII-IPA)

Dr. Grimesby Roylott's chamber was larger than that of his stepdaughter (комната доктора была больше, чем /комната/ его падчерицы), but was as plainly furnished (но была так же просто обставлена). A camp-bed (походная кровать), a small wooden shelf full of books (маленькая деревянная полка, полная книг), mostly of a technical character (в основном, технической направленности), an armchair beside the bed (кресло рядом с кроватью), a plain wooden chair against the wall (простой деревянный стул у стены), a round table (круглый стол), and a large iron safe were the principal things which met the eye (и большой железный сейф были главными вещами, которые встречали глаз = бросались в глаза). Holmes walked slowly round and examined each and all of them with the keenest interest (Холмс ходил медленно вокруг и исследовал каждую /вещь в отдельности/ с живейшим интересом)

Dr. Grimesby Roylott's chamber was larger than that of his stepdaughter, but was as plainly furnished. A camp-bed, a small wooden shelf full of books, mostly of a technical character, an armchair beside the bed, a plain wooden chair against the wall, a round table, and a large iron safe were the principal things which met the eye. Holmes walked slowly round and examined each and all of them with the keenest interest.

"What's in here (что здесь)?" he asked, tapping the safe (спросил он, стуча по сейфу).

"My stepfather's business papers (деловые бумаги отчима)."

"Oh! you have seen inside, then (ого, /так/ вы заглядывали внутрь, значит)?"

"Only once, some years ago (только однажды, несколько лет назад)

. I remember that it was full of papers (помню, что он был полон бумаг)."

"There isn't a cat in it for example (там, к примеру, не кошка)?"

"No. What a strange idea (что за странная идея)!"

"What's in here?" he asked, tapping the safe.

"My stepfather's business papers."

"Oh! you have seen inside, then?"

"Only once, some years ago. I remember that it was full of papers."

"There isn't a cat in it, for example?"

"No. What a strange idea!"

"Well, look at this (вот, взгляните на это)!" He took up a small saucer of milk (он поднял маленькое блюдце молока) which stood on the top of it (которое стояло на сейфе).

"No; we don't keep a cat (мы не держим кошку). But there is a cheetah and a baboon (но есть гепард и бабуин)."

"Ah, yes, of course (ах да, конечно)! Well, a cheetah is just a big cat (ну, гепард — всего лишь большая кошка), and yet a saucer of milk does not go very far in satisfying its wants (и все-таки, блюдца молока недостаточно: «не идет далеко» для утоления его потребностей = жажды), I daresay (полагаю, /осмелюсь сказать/)

. There is one point which I should wish to determine (есть один пункт = момент, который я хотел бы определить)." He squatted down in front of the wooden chair (он сел на корточки перед деревянным стулом) and examined the seat of it with the greatest attention (и осмотрел его сиденье с величайшим вниманием).
