Уловка-22

Yossarian walked in lonely torture, feeling estranged, and could not wipe from his mind the excruciating image of the barefoot boy with sickly cheeks until he turned the corner into the avenue finally and came upon an Allied soldier having convulsions on the ground, a young lieutenant with a small, pale, boyish face. Six other soldiers from different countries wrestled with different parts of him, striving to help him and hold him still. He yelped and groaned unintelligibly through clenched teeth, his eyes rolled up into his head. 'Don't let him bite his tongue off,' a short sergeant near Yossarian advised shrewdly, and a seventh man threw himself into the fray to wrestle with the ill lieutenant's face. All at once the wrestlers won and turned to each other undecidedly, for now that they held the young lieutenant rigid they did not know what to do with him. A quiver of moronic panic spread from one straining brute face to another. 'Why don't you lift him up and put him on the hood of that car?' a corporal standing in back of Yossarian drawled. That seemed to make sense, so the seven men lifted the young lieutenant up and stretched him out carefully on the hood of a parked car, still pinning each struggling part of him down. Once they had him stretched out on the hood of the parked car, they stared at each other uneasily again, for they had no idea what to do with him next. 'Why don't you lift him up off the hood of that car and lay him down on the ground?' drawled the same corporal behind Yossarian. That seemed like a good idea, too, and they began to move him back to the sidewalk, but before they could finish, a jeep raced up with a flashing red spotlight at the side and two military policemen in the front seat. 'What's going on?' the driver yelled. 'He's having convulsions,' one of the men grappling with one of the young lieutenant's limbs answered. 'We're holding him still.' 'That's good. He's under arrest.' 'What should we do with him?' 'Keep him under arrest!' the M.P. shouted, doubling over with raucous laughter at his jest, and sped away in his jeep.	Йоссариан шел один на один со своими мучительными мыслями, чувствуя свою отчужденность от мира, и не мог выкинуть из головы терзавший его образ босого мальчика с болезненным цветом лица.
Yossarian recalled that he had no leave papers and moved prudently past the strange group toward the sound of muffled voices emanating from a distance inside the murky darkness ahead.	Йоссариан вспомнил, что у него нет увольнительной. Он двинулся на звук приглушенных расстоянием голосов, доносившихся из густой тьмы.
The broad, rain-blotched boulevard was illuminated every half-block by short, curling lampposts with eerie, shimmering glares surrounded by smoky brown mist.	Вдоль широкого, мокрого от дождя бульвара через каждые полквартала стояли невысокие изогнутые фонарные столбы, тусклый свет ламп причудливо мерцал сквозь клубящийся коричневатый туман.
From a window overhead he heard an unhappy female voice pleading, 'Please don't.	Из окна над головой Йоссариан услышал несчастный женский голос, умолявший: "Пожалуйста, не надо!
