Английский с А. Конан Дойлем. Пиратские истории / A. Conan Doyle. Tales of Pirates

A very different figure was Captain John Sharkey (совершенно иной облик был у капитана Джона Шарки). His thin, drawn, clean-shaven face was corpse-like in its pallor (его худое, вытянутое, чисто выбритое лицо своей бледностью походило на /лицо/ покойника; thin – тонкий; худой), and all the suns of the Indies could but turn it to a more deathly parchment tint (а солнце /обеих/ Индий смогло лишь придать ему еще более мертвенный пергаментный оттенок; to turn – поворачивать, вращать; превращать

). He was part bald, with a few lank locks of tow-like hair (он был плешив: «он был частично лысым», с прямыми прядями волос /по бокам, свисавшими/, как пакля), and a steep, narrow forehead (и непомерно высоким и узким лбом). His thin nose jutted sharply forth (его тонкий нос остро выступал вперед), and near-set on either side of it were those filmy blue eyes (а с каждой его стороны располагались те самые, словно подернутые пленкой, голубые глаза), red-rimmed like those of a white bull-terrier

(с красными веками, как у белого бультерьера), from which strong men winced away in fear and loathing (при /взгляде/ которых даже сильные люди отшатывались в страхе и отвращении; to wince – вздрагивать; отшатываться; to loathe – питать отвращение).

His bony hands, with long, thin fingers

(его костлявые руки с длинными тонкими пальцами) which quivered ceaselessly like the antennae of an insect (которые не переставая подрагивали, словно усики насекомых; to cease – прекращать/ся/, переставать), were toying constantly with the cards and the heap of gold moidores (непрерывно поигрывали картами или горкой золотых муидоров) which lay before him (лежащих перед ним; to lie

). His dress was of some sober drab material (одежда его была из тускло-коричневой ткани; sober – трезвый; мягкий, спокойный /о красках/), but, indeed, the men who looked upon that fearsome face (но люди, которые смотрели в это страшное лицо, несомненно) had little thought for the costume of its owner (мало задумывались о костюме его хозяина).
