Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море - страница 7

and in it there was a bed, a table, one chair, and a place on the dirt floor to cook with charcoal. On the brown walls of the flattened, overlapping leaves of the sturdy fibered guano there was a picture in color of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and another of the Virgin of Cobre. These were relics of his wife. Once there had been a tinted photograph of his wife on the wall but he had taken it down because it made him too lonely to see it and it was on the shelf in the corner under his clean shirt.

"What do you have to eat (что у тебя есть поесть)?" the boy asked.

"A pot of yellow rice with fish (чашка желтого риса с рыбой). Do you want some (хочешь немного)?"

"No. I will eat at home (я поем дома). Do you want me to make the fire (хочешь, я разведу огонь)?"

"No. I will make it later on (я разведу его позже). Or I may eat the rice cold (или же я могу съесть рис холодным)."

"May I take the cast net (можно взять сеть)?"

"Of course (конечно)."

There was no cast net and the boy remembered when they had sold it (никакой сети не было, и мальчик помнил, когда они ее продали). But they went through this fiction every day (но они проходили через эту выдумку каждый день). There was no pot of yellow rice and fish and the boy knew this too (не было чашки с желтым рисом и рыбой, и мальчик об этом тоже знал).

"Eighty-five is a lucky number (восемьдесят пять — счастливое число)," the old man said. "How would you like to see me bring one in that dressed out over a thousand pounds (как тебе понравится увидеть меня с выпотрошенной рыбой весом более тысячи фунтов)?"

"I'll get the cast net and go for sardines (я возьму сеть и пойду за сардинами). Will you sit in the sun in the doorway (ты посидишь на солнце на пороге)?"

"Yes. I have yesterday's paper (у меня есть вчерашняя газета) and I will read the baseball (и я почитаю о бейсболе)."

The boy did not know whether yesterday's paper was a fiction too (мальчик не знал, была ли вчерашняя газета тоже выдумкой). But the old man brought it out from under the bed (но старик достал ее из-под кровати).

"Perico gave it to me at the bodega (Перико дал мне ее в винной лавке; bodega — исп. винный погребок)," he explained (объяснил он).

"I'll be back when I have the sardines (я вернусь, когда наловлю сардин). I'll keep yours and mine together on ice (я положу твои и мои вместе на лед: «я буду хранить…») and we can share them in the morning (и мы сможем поделиться ими утром = съесть их вместе; to share — делиться; использовать совместно). When I come back you can tell me about the baseball (когда я вернусь, ты расскажешь мне о бейсболе)."

"The Yankees cannot lose («Янки» не могут проиграть)."

"But I fear the Indians of Cleveland (но я боюсь «Индейцев» из Кливленда)."

"Have faith in the Yankees my son (верь в «Янки», сынок). Think of the great DiMaggio (думай о великом Ди Маджо)."

"I fear both the Tigers of Detroit and the Indians of Cleveland (я боюсь двух /команд/: «Тигров» из Детройта и «Индейцев» из Кливленда)."

"Be careful or you will fear even the Reds of Cincinnati and the White Sax of Chicago (будь осторожен, иначе будешь бояться даже «Краснокожих» из Цинциннати и «Белых Чулок» из Чикаго).”
