Английский с Эдгаром По. Падение дома Ашеров

He admitted, however, although with hesitation (он признал, впрочем, хотя и с колебанием), that much of the peculiar gloom which thus afflicted him could be traced to a more natural and far more palpable origin (что многое из = что во многом /корни/ той особенной мрачности, которая так охватила его, могли быть прослежены до более естественного и гораздо более ощутимого источника; far – далеко; зд.: гораздо) – to the severe and long-continued illness

(до суровой и долго продолжавшейся болезни) – indeed to the evidently approaching dissolution (по правде говоря, до очевидно приближающейся гибели) – of a tenderly beloved sister (нежно любимой сестры) – his sole companion for long years (его единственного товарища долгие годы) – his last and only relative on earth (его последнего и единственного родича на земле). “Her decease,” he said, with a bitterness which I can never forget

(ее кончина, сказал он с горечью, которую я не могу забыть), “would leave him (him the hopeless and the frail) the last of the ancient race of the Ushers (оставит его, его, безнадежного и хрупкого, последним из древнего рода Ашеров).”

While he spoke, the lady Madeline (for so was she called)

(пока он говорил, леди Маделин, ибо так ее звали; to call – звать, называть) passed slowly through a remote portion of the apartment (медленно прошла через отдаленную часть комнаты), and, without having noticed my presence, disappeared (и, не заметив моего присутствия, исчезла; without – без). I regarded her with an utter astonishment not unmingled with dread

(я смотрел на нее с крайней пораженностью, смешанной с ужасом: «не не-смешанной») – and yet I found it impossible to account for such feelings (и все же я нашел невозможным объяснить такие чувства; to find – найти). A sensation of stupor oppressed me (чувство оцепенения охватило меня), as my eyes followed her retreating steps (пока мои глаза следили за ее удаляющимися шагами).
