exhausted [Ig`zLstId] mentioned [`menSnd] wringing [`rININ] annoyance [q`nOIqns]

1. In one way, indeed, he bade fair to ruin us; for he kept on staying week after week, and at last month after month so that all the money had been long exhausted, and still my father never plucked up the heart to insist on having more. If ever he mentioned it, the captain blew through his nose so loudly, that you might say he roared, and stared my poor father out of the room. I have seen him wringing his hand after such a rebuff, and I am sure the annoyance and the terror he lived in must have greatly hastened his early and unhappy death.

1. All the time he lived with us (за все то время, /которое/ он жил с нами) the captain made no change whatever in his dress (капитан не сделал никакого изменения совсем в одежде = не сделал какого-либо) but to buy some stockings from hawker (кроме как купил несколько пар чулок у разносчика). One of the cocks of his hat having fallen down (один из краев его шляпы обвис; to fall down — падать; /мягкие шляпы носились с одной или более сторонами, поднятыми и прикрепленными к макушке, эти поднятые края назывались ‘cocks’/ ), he let it hang from that day forth (он оставил его висеть /так/ с этого дня), though it was a great annoyance when it blew (хотя это было большим неудобством при ветре: «когда это дуло»). I remember the appearance of his coat (помню наружность его кафтана), which he patched himself upstairs in his room (который он латал сам наверху в своей комнате), and which, before the end (и который, в конце концов: «перед концом»), was nothing but patches (был ничем, кроме заплаток = превратился в лохмотья).

2. He never wrote or received a letter (он никогда не писал или получал = и не получал письма), and he never spoke with any but the neighbours (не говорил ни с кем, кроме соседей), and with these, for the most part (/да/ и с теми, большей частью), only when drunk on rum (только когда напивался рому). The great sea-chest none of us had ever seen open (большой морской сундук никто из нас никогда не видел открытым).

1. He was only once crossed (ему лишь однажды перечили; to cross — препятствовать, противоречить ), and that was towards the end (это было относительно /ближе/ к концу), when my poor father was far gone in a decline that took him off (когда мой бедный отец был в последней стадии /изнурительной/ болезни, которая забрала его = убила; decline — упадок ). Dr Livesey came late one afternoon to see the patient (доктор Ливси пришел однажды поздно днем = в конце дня осмотреть пациента), took a bit of dinner from my mother (принял немного обеда, которым угостила его моя мать: «от моей матери» = наскоро пообедал), and went into the parlour to smoke a pipe (и вошел в общую комнату выкурить трубку) until his horse should come down from the hamlet (/ожидая/, когда его лошадь приведут из деревушки), for we had no stabling at the old 'Benbow (потому что у нас не было конюшни в старом /трактире/ «Бенбоу»).

2. I followed him in (я вошел вслед за ним), and I remember observing the contrast the neat, bright doctor (помню наблюдение контраста /между/ опрятным веселым доктором), with his powder as white as snow (с париком, белым словно снег; powder — пудра, порошок ), and his bright, black eyes and pleasant manners (его яркими черными глазами и приятными манерами), made with the coltish country folk (/сделанный с/ = и шумными сельскими жителями), and above all (прежде всего), with that filthy, heavy, bleared scarecrow of a pirate of ours (/по сравнению/ с грязным, грузным, пьяным: «затуманенным» пугалом, нашим пиратом; сравните: an unshaven, bleary-eyed man — небритый мужчина с затуманенным взором ), sitting, far gone in rum (который сидел, сильно пьяный от рома: «далеко зашедший в роме»), with his arms on the table (с руками = локтями на столе). Suddenly he (вдруг он) — the captain (капитан), that is — began to pipe up his eternal song (запел свою вечную песню): —

3. 'Fifteen men on the dead man's chest (пятнадцать человек на сундук мертвеца) Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum (йо-хо-хо, и бутылка рому)! Drink and the devil had done for the rest (пей, а дьявол покончил с остальным; to have done — покончить, разделаться с чем-то; for the rest — в остальном, что до остального ) Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

1. At first I had supposed (вначале я полагал) 'the dead man's chest' to be that identical big box of his (что «сундук мертвеца» — тот самый большой его сундук) upstairs in the front room (/стоявший/ наверху в передней комнате = выходящей окнами на главный фасад здания), and the thought had been mingled in my nightmares (эта мысль смешивалась в моих ночных кошмарах) with that of the one-legged seafaring man (с той /мыслью/ об одноногом моряке).
