Английский с Эдгаром По. Падение дома Ашеров

Having deposited our mournful burden upon trestles within this region of horror, we partially turned aside the yet unscrewed lid of the coffin, and looked upon the face of the tenant. A striking similitude between the brother and sister now first arrested my attention; and Usher, divining, perhaps, my thoughts, murmured out some few words from which I learned that the deceased and himself had been twins, and that sympathies of a scarcely intelligible nature had always existed between them.

Our glances, however, rested not long upon the dead (наши взгляды, однако, недолго задержались на мертвой) – for we could not regard her unawed (ибо мы не могли смотреть на нее без ужаса: «неужаснувшимися»)

. The disease which had thus entombed the lady in the maturity of youth (болезнь, которая так похоронила даму в расцвете юности; maturity – зрелость, расцвет), had left, as usual in all maladies of a strictly cataleptical character (оставила, как обычно при всех болезнях строго каталептического характера; to leave – оставлять

), the mockery of a faint blush upon the bosom and the face (пародию на легкий румянец на груди и лице; to mock – насмехаться), and that suspiciously lingering smile upon the lip which is so terrible in death (и ту подозрительно задержавшуюся улыбку на губах: «на губе», которая так ужасна в смерти;

to linger – медлить, оставаться, задерживаться). We replaced and screwed down the lid (мы вернули на место и привернули крышку), and, having secured the door of iron, made our way, with toll (и, заперев дверь из железа, направились: «сделали свой путь» с колокольным звоном; to toll – звонить в колокол; издавать похоронный звон, звонить по покойнику

), into the scarcely less gloomy apartments of the upper portion of the house (в едва менее мрачные покои верхней части дома).
