precious [`preSqs] wiping [`waIpIN] davy [`deIvI] affair [q`feq]

“The score!” he burst out. “Three goes o’ rum! Why, shiver my timbers, if I hadn’t forgotten my score!”

And, falling on a bench, he laughed until the tears ran down his cheeks. I could not help joining; and we laughed together, peal after peal, until the tavern rang again.

“Why, what a precious old sea-calf I am!” he said, at last, wiping his cheeks. “You and me should get on well, Hawkins, for I’ll take my davy I should be rated ship’s boy. But, come, now, stand by to go about. This won’t do. Dooty is dooty, messmates. I’ll put on my old cocked hat, and step along of you to Cap’n Trelawney, and report this here affair. For, mind you, it’s serious, young Hawkins; and neither you nor me’s come out of it with what I should make so bold as to call credit. Nor you neither, says you; not smart — none of the pair of us smart. But dash my buttons! That was a good ’un about my score.”

And he began to laugh again, and that so heartily(начал смеяться снова, и так сильно: «сердечно») , that though I did not see the joke as he did(что, хотя я не видел ничего смешного: «не видел шутки, как он видел = в отличие от него»; joke — шутка ) , I was again obliged to join him in his mirth(я снова был вынужден присоединиться = невольно присоединился к нему в его веселье) .

On our little walk along the quays(во время нашей маленькой прогулки вдоль причалов = по набережной) , he made himself the most interesting companion(он оказался: «сделал себя» очень увлекательным собеседником) , telling me about the different ships that we passed by(рассказывая мне о различных кораблях, мимо которых мы проходили) , their rig, tonnage, and nationality(об их оснастке, тоннаже, национальной принадлежности) explaining the work that was going forward(объясняя работу, которая делалась; to go forward — продвигаться, продолжаться; forward — вперед ) — how one was discharging(что одно /судно/ разгружается) , another taking in cargo(другое — грузят; to take in cargo — брать груз ) , and a third making ready for sea(а третье подготавливается для /выхода/ в море) ; and every now and then telling me some little anecdote of ships or seamen(то и дело рассказывая мне маленькие веселые истории о кораблях и моряках; lit = little ) , or repeating a nautical phrase till I had learned it perfectly(или повторял какое-нибудь морское выражение до тех пор, пока я не запоминал его отлично) . I began to see that here was one of the best of possible shipmates(я начал думать, что здесь = передо мной находился один из лучших возможных товарищей по плаванию) .

When we got to the inn(когда мы добрались до трактира) , the squire and Dr. Livesey was seated together(сквайр и доктор Ливси сидели вместе) , finishing a quart of ale with a toast in it(заканчивая кварту эля с тостами; quart — кварта /1,14 л/ ) , before they should go aboard the schooner on a visit of inspection(прежде чем подняться на борт шхуны — с инспекционным визитом = посмотреть работы) .

joke [Gquk] obliged [q`blaIGd] discharging [dIs`tSRGIN] nautical [`nLtIkl]

And he began to laugh again, and that so heartily, that though I did not see the joke as he did, I was again obliged to join him in his mirth.

On our little walk along the quays, he made himself the most interesting companion, telling me about the different ships that we passed by, their rig, tonnage, and nationality explaining the work that was going forward — how one was discharging, another taking in cargo, and a third making ready for sea; and every now and then telling me some little anecdote of ships or seamen, or repeating a nautical phrase till I had learned it perfectly. I began to see that here was one of the best of possible shipmates.

When we got to the inn, the squire and Dr. Livesey was seated together, finishing a quart of ale with a toast in it, before they should go aboard the schooner on a visit of inspection.

Long John told the story from first to last(Долговязый Джон рассказал историю = о том, что случилось, от начала и до конца: «с первого до последнего») , with a great deal of spirit and the most perfect truth(с большим воодушевлением и с самой совершенной правдой) . “That was how it were now, weren’t it, Hawkins(вот так все и было, не правда ли, Хокинс) ?” he would say, now and again and I could always bear him entirely out(он говорил то и дело, и я мог всегда полностью поддержать его /слова/) .

The two gentlemen regretted that Black Dog had got away(оба джентльмена сожалели, что Черный Пес удрал) but we all agreed there was nothing to be done(но соглашались, что ничего нельзя было поделать) , and after I had been complimented(и после того как меня похвалили: «я был похвален») , Long John took up his crutch and departed(Долговязый Джон взял свой костыль и отправился к выходу; to depart — отправляться, уезжать, уходить ) .

“All hands aboard by four this afternoon(команде: «всем рукам» /быть/ на борту к четырем часам сегодня) ,” shouted the squire, after him(крикнул сквайр ему вдогонку) .

“Ay, ay, sir(есть, сэр) ,” cried the cook, in the passage(крикнул кок /стоя/ в дверях; passage — проход, вход, коридор ) .
