Илья Франк - Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море

"I know it," the boy said. "I'll be right back. Have another coffee. We have credit here."

He walked off, bare-footed on the coral rocks, to the ice house where the baits were stored.

The old man drank his coffee slowly (старик медленно пил свой кофе). It was all he would have all day (это все, что у него будет /из пищи/ на протяжении всего дня) and he knew that he should take it (и он знал, что ему следует взять это = напиться кофе как следует). For a long time now eating had bored him and he never carried a lunch (уже долгое время еда наскучила ему, и он никогда не брал с собой /в море/ завтрак; to bore — надоедать, докучать ). He had a bottle of water in the bow of the skiff (у него была бутылка воды на носу лодки; bow — нос корабля ) and that was all he needed for the day (и это все, что было ему нужно на весь день).

The boy was back now with the sardines (мальчик уже вернулся с сардинами) and the two baits wrapped in a newspaper (и двумя живцами, завернутыми в газету) and they went down the trail to the skiff (и они спустились вниз по тропинке к лодке; trail — след; тропа ), feeling the pebbled sand under their feet (ощущая мелкий гравий под ногами; pebble — галька, гравий; sand — песок ), and lifted the skiff and slid her into the water (приподняли лодку и сдвинули ее в воду; to slide — скользить; сдвинуть что-л. скользящее ).

"Good luck old man (удачи, старик)."

"Good luck," the old man said. He fitted the rope lashings of the oars onto the thole pins (он закрепил веревки весел на колышки уключин; thole pin — уключина ) and, leaning forward against the thrust of the blades in the water (и, налегая на весла: «подаваясь вперед против давления лопастей весел в воде»; blade — лопасть ), he began to row out of the harbour in the dark (он вывел лодку: «начал грести» из гавани в темноте). There were other boats from the other beaches going out to sea (были другие лодки, выходящие в море с других берегов) and the old man heard the dip and push of their oars (и старик слышал, как погружались и выталкивались их весла; to dip — мокать, погружать /в воду/; to push — толкать ) even though he could not see them now the moon was below the hills (хотя он и не мог видеть их сейчас, когда луна скрылась за холмами).

There were other boats from the other beaches going out to sea and the old man heard the dip and push of their oars even though he could not see them now the moon was below the hills.

Sometimes someone would speak in a boat (иногда кто-нибудь в лодках разговаривал). But most of the boats were silent (но большинство лодок были безмолвны) except for the dip of the oars (за исключением звуков опускания в воду весел). They spread apart after they were out of the mouth of the harbour (они рассеивались в разные стороны после того, как выходили из бухты; to spread — распространяться; mouth — устье, вход ) and each one headed for the part of the ocean where he hoped to find fish (и каждая направлялась в ту часть океана, где надеялась найти рыбу). The old man knew he was going far out (старик знал, что уйдет далеко /от берега/) and he left the smell of the land behind (и он оставил запах земли позади) and rowed out into the clean early morning smell of the ocean (и греб в чистый утренний запах океана). He saw the phosphorescence of the Gulf weed in the water (он видел свечение саргассовых водорослей в воде; gulfweed — саргассова водоросль; gulf — залив; weed — сорная трава, сорняк; водоросль ) as he rowed over the part of the ocean that the fishermen called the great well (пока греб над той частью океана, которую рыбаки называли «великим колодцем») because there was a sudden deep of seven hundred fathoms where all sorts of fish congregated (потому что дно там круто опускается на семьсот морских саженей, и там собираются всевозможные виды рыб; fathom — морская сажень /182 см/; to congregate — собираться, сходиться ) because of the swirl the current made against the steep walls of the floor of the ocean (из-за водоворота, который создает течение, наталкиваясь на крутые стены морского дна). Here there were concentrations of shrimp and bait fish (здесь скапливаются креветки и рыба для наживки = мелкая рыбешка) and sometimes schools of squid in the deepest holes (а иногда и стаи кальмаров в глубочайший дырах = на самой большой глубине; school — школа; стая, косяк /рыб/ ) and these rose close to the surface at night where all the wandering fish fed on them (и они: «все это» поднимаются на поверхность ночью, где все блуждающие рыбы ими питаются; to rise; to feed ).
