"I suppose what I did was to forget to put iodine on it when I first scratched it. Then I didn't pay any attention to it because I never infect. Then, later, when it got bad, it was probably using that weak carbolic solution when the other antiseptics ran out that paralyzed the minute blood vessels and started the gangrene." He looked at her, "What else?"

"I don't mean that."

"If we would have hired a good mechanic instead of a half baked kikuyu driver (если бы мы наняли хорошего механика/шофера, вместо = а не /какого-то/ водителя-недоучку из туземцев; half baked — наполовину испеченный, недопеченный; неискушенный, неопытный; Kikuyu — кикуйю /народ, живущий в Вост. Африке/ ), he would have checked the oil (он проверил бы масло = уровень масла) and never burned out that bearing in the truck (и не пережег бы тот подшипник в грузовике; bearing — ношение; опора; подшипник; to bear — носить, нести )."

"I don't mean that (я не об этом)."

"If you hadn't left your own people (если бы ты не бросила людей своего круга; people — люди /одной профессии, одной социальной группы/ ), your goddamned Old Westbury, Saratoga, Palm Beach [1] Old Westbury, Saratoga, Palm Beach — фешенебельные курорты в США. people (твоих чертовых приятелей из Оулд-Уэстбери, Саратоги, Палм-Бич; goddamned — /эмоц.-усил./ проклятый, чертов: «богом проклятый» ) to take me on (чтобы возиться со мной; to take on — взять на себя /ответственность и т. п./ ) —"

"Why, I loved you (да ведь я любила тебя). That's not fair (это несправедливо). I love you now (и сейчас люблю). I'll always love you (я всегда буду тебя любить). Don't you love me (/разве/ ты меня не любишь)?"

"No," said the man. "I don't think so (по-моему, нет: «не думаю так»). I never have (никогда не любил)."

"Harry, what are you saying (что ты говоришь, Гарри)? You're out of your head (ты сошел с ума; head — голова )."

"No. I haven't any head to go out of (мне и сходить не с чего)."

"Don't drink that (не пей этого)," she said. "Darling, please don't drink that (милый, пожалуйста, не пей). We have to do everything we can (мы должны сделать все, что можем = в наших силах)."

"You do it (делай ты)," he said. "I'm tired (я устал)."

Now in his mind he saw a railway station at Karagatch (cейчас он видел перед собой: «в своих мыслях» вокзал в Карагаче [2] Карагач — небольшой городок на северо-востоке Греции. ; mind — разум; мышление; память; railway — железная дорога ) and he was standing with his pack (и стоял с вещевым мешком /за плечами/) and that was the headlight of the Simplon-Orient cutting the dark now (а вот и прожектор экспресса Симплон- Ориент, рассекающий темноту) and he was leaving Thrace then after the retreat (а он /сам/ уезжал тогда из Фракии после отступления) . That was one of the things he had saved to write (это было одно из тех воспоминаний: «одна из тех вещей», которые он откладывал впрок: «припасал», чтобы написать /о них позже/) , with, in the morning at breakfast, looking out the window and seeing snow on the mountains in Bulgaria (вместе с тем, как утром, за завтраком, /они/ смотрели из окна и видели снег на горах в Болгарии) and Nansen's [3] Nansen — Фритьоф Нансен (1861-1930), норвежский исследователь Арктики. В 1920-21 гг. верховный комиссар Лиги Наций по делам военнопленных и беженцев. Secretary asking the old man (и секретарша Нансена = Нансеновской миссии спросила старика; old man — старик; начальник, шеф; "старик" /о капитане корабля, командире, главе семьи и т. д./ ) if it were snow (неужели это снег) and the old man looking at it and saying (и старик посмотрел на него = туда и сказал) , No, that's not snow (нет, это не снег) . It's too early for snow (для снега слишком рано) . And the Secretary repeating to the other girls (и секретарша повторила, /обращаясь к/ другим девушкам) , No, you see (оказывается: «понимаете», нет) . It's not snow and them all saying (это не снег, и они все сказали = повторили) , It's not snow we were mistaken (это не снег, мы ошиблись) . But it was the snow all right (но это был снег, самый настоящий /снег/) and he sent them on into it (и он = шеф отправил их = людей туда, в горы: «в него = снег»; to send on ) when he evolved exchange of populations (когда стал развертывать обмен населения) . And it was snow they tramped along in (и они пробирались по снегу: «это было /именно/ снегом, по чему они с трудом пробирались»; to tramp /along/ — идти тяжелой поступью; совершать долгое и утомительное путешествие пешком ) until they died that winter (пока они не погибли /все до одного/ в ту зиму) .
