Илья Франк - Английский язык с Робин Гудом

«Is that true (это правда)?» said Robin. «Then I won't eat and I won't drink before I see Friar Tuck (тогда я не буду есть и пить, пока я не увижу этого брата Тука).»

travel [trxvl], wouldn't [wudnt], better ['betq], friar ['fraIq], true [tru:], before [bI'fO:]

«Yes,» said Robin Hood. «If we travelled a hundred miles, we wouldn't find a better bowman.»

Will Scarlet laughed. «There's a curtal Friar at Fountains Abbey,» he said. «His name is Friar Tuck, and he is a better bowman than any of us.»

«Is that true?» said Robin. «Then I won't eat and I won't drink before I see Friar Tuck.»

Robin Hood put an iron cap on his head (Робин Гуд надел на голову железный шлем; cap — кепка, шапка; ср.: iron hat — истор. железный шлем в виде шляпы ). He put his sword at his side (на бок он прицепил свой меч; to put — помещать; класть, положить; приделывать, прилаживать ). Then, with his bow in his hand, he went to Fountains Dale (затем, с луком в руке, он направился в Фаунтейн Дейл /«Долина источников/ключей»/; dale — дол, долина; fountain — источник; ключ ).

In Fountains Dale, beside the river, he saw the curtal Friar (в Фаунтейн Дейл, у реки, он увидел монаха в короткой рясе; beside — рядом с; близ, около ). Friar Tuck had an iron cap on his head, and a sword at his side (у брата Тука был железный шлем на голове и меч на боку).

In Fountains Dale, beside the river, he saw the curtal Friar. Friar Tuck had an iron cap on his head, and a sword at his side.

Robin Hood called out (Робин Гуд крикнул), «Carry me across the river, Friar Tuck, if you want to stay alive (перенеси меня через реку, брат Тук, если хочешь остаться в живых; to carry — везти, перевозить; нести, носить; to stay — оставаться, не уходить; пребывать, оставаться /в каком-либо состоянии или положении/; alive — живой, в живых ).»

The Friar took Robin on his back, and carried him across the river (монах посадил Робина себе на спину и перенес его через реку). He said nothing to him all the way (за всю дорогу он не сказал ему ни слова: «ничего»).

Robin jumped down from the Friar's back (Робин спрыгнул со спины монаха). Friar Tuck quickly drew his sword (Брат Тук тут же выхватил свой меч; to draw — тащить, волочить; вытаскивать ). «Now, young man (а теперь, молодой человек),» he said, «carry me back over the river, or you'll be sorry (отнеси меня назад через реку, или ты пожалеешь; sorry — огорченный, сожалеющий, полный сожаления ).»

This time, it was Robin who drew his sword (на этот раз Робин вытащил свой меч). «Carry me over the river, Friar Tuck, if you want to stay alive (перенеси меня на другой берег реки, Брат Тук, если ты хочешь остаться в живых).»

The Friar took Robin on his back again (монах снова посадил Робина себе на спину). He said nothing to him before they were halfway across the river (он ничего не говорил ему, пока они не прошли половину пути через реку; halfway — на полпути ). And there, in the deepest part, he threw Robin into the water (и там, в самом глубоком месте, он сбросил Робина в воду; part — доля, часть ) — and fell on top of him (и сам навалился сверху; on top of — поверх; top — вершина, верхушка, верхняя часть ). He was a very heavy man (он был очень тяжелым человеком).

From ten o'clock in the morning to four in the afternoon, they fought with their swords (с десяти утра до четырех /дня/ они сражалась на мечах). Robin Hood was a very good swordsman (Робин Гуд был очень хорошим фехтовальщиком), but Friar Tuck was just as good (но Брат Тук был точно так же хорош).

At last Robin said (наконец Робин сказал), «Can we stop this for a minute (можем ли мы прервать схватку на минутку; to stop — останавливаться; прекращаться, кончать )? I must sound my horn (я должен протрубить в рожок; sound — звук, шум; to sound — звучать, издавать звук; давать сигнал /к чему-либо/ ).»

The fight stopped, and Robin Hood sounded his horn three times (схватка прекратилась, и Робин Гуд трижды: «три раза» протрубил в свой рожок). Fifty yeomen, with their bows ready, came running down to the river (пятьдесят крестьян, с луками наготове, прибежали к реке).
