Arthur Conan Doyle - Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Собака Баскервилей (ASCII-IPA)

"Have you any objection to my looking at your register (не возражаете, если я просмотрю вашу регистрационную книгу) ?" said Holmes.

"Not in the least (нисколько) ."

The book showed (из книги следовало: «книга показала») that two names had been added after that of Baskerville (что после Баскервиля было добавлено два имени) . One was Theophilus Johnson and family, of Newcastle (одно — Теофилиус Джонсон из Ньюкасла с семьей) ; the other Mrs. Oldmore and maid, of High Lodge, Alton (и второе — миссис Олдмор со служанкой, из Хай-Лодж, Элтон) .

degree [dI'gri:], master ['mA:st@], register ['redZIst@]

SHERLOCK HOLMES had, in a very remarkable degree, the power of detaching his mind at will. For two hours the strange business in which we had been involved appeared to be forgotten, and he was entirely absorbed in the pictures of the modern Belgian masters. He would talk of nothing but art, of which he had the crudest ideas, from our leaving the gallery until we found ourselves at the Northumberland Hotel.

"Sir Henry Baskerville is upstairs expecting you," said the clerk. "He asked me to show you up at once when you came."

"Have you any objection to my looking at your register?" said Holmes.

"Not in the least."

The book showed that two names had been added after that of Baskerville. One was Theophilus Johnson and family, of Newcastle; the other Mrs. Oldmore and maid, of High Lodge, Alton.

"Surely that must be the same Johnson whom I used to know (наверняка это должен быть тот Джонсон, которого я знавал /раньше/) ," said Holmes to the porter (сказал Холмс дежурному) . "A lawyer, is he not, grey-headed, and walks with a limp (адвокат, седоволосый и ходит прихрамывая, разве нет; limp — хромота) ?"

"No, sir, this is Mr. Johnson the coal-owner (нет, сэр, этот мистер Джонсон — владелец шахт по добыче угля; coal — уголь; owner — владелец) , a very active gentleman, not older than yourself (очень энергичный джентльмен, не старше, чем вы) ."

"Surely you are mistaken about his trade (уверен, вы ошибаетесь насчет того, чем он занимается; to mistake; trade — занятие, профессия) ?"

"No, sir; he has used this hotel for many years (нет, сэр, он останавливается у нас не первый год: «он пользуется этой гостиницей много лет») , and he is very well known to us (и он очень хорошо нам известен) ."

"Ah, that settles it (а, ну это меняет дело; to settle — разрешить /спор/; положить конец /разногласиям/) . Mrs. Oldmore, too; I seem to remember the name (да, и миссис Олдмор, мне кажется я помню = слышал эту фамилию) . Excuse my curiosity (простите мое любопытство) , but often in calling upon one friend one finds another (но так часто /бывает/, что приходишь к одному другу, а находишь другого; to call upon — навещать) ."

"She is an invalid lady, sir (она больная женщина, сэр) . Her husband was once Mayor of Gloucester (ее муж был когда-то мэром Глостера) . She always comes to us when she is in town (она всегда останавливается у нас: «приезжает к нам», когда бывает в городе) ."

limp [lImp], owner ['@un@], curiosity [,kju@rI'OsItI]

"Surely that must be the same Johnson whom I used to know," said Holmes to the porter. "A lawyer, is he not, grey-headed, and walks with a limp?"

"No, sir, this is Mr. Johnson the coal-owner, a very active gentleman, not older than yourself."

"Surely you are mistaken about his trade?"

"No, sir; he has used this hotel for many years, and he is very well known to us."

"Ah, that settles it. Mrs. Oldmore, too; I seem to remember the name. Excuse my curiosity, but often in calling upon one friend one finds another."

"She is an invalid lady, sir. Her husband was once Mayor of Gloucester. She always comes to us when she is in town."

"Thank you; I am afraid I cannot claim her acquaintance (благодарю вас, не могу утверждать, что знаком с ней; to claim — требовать; заявлять, утверждать; acquaintance — знакомство) . We have established a most important fact by these questions, Watson (благодаря этим вопросам мы установили одно важнейшее обстоятельство, Ватсон) ," he continued, in a low voice, as we went upstairs together (продолжал он тихим голосом, пока мы вместе поднимались по лестнице) . "We know now that the people who are so interested in our friend (теперь мы знаем, что люди, так интересующиеся нашим другом) have not settled down in his own hotel (не живут в его гостинице; to settle down — поселиться) . That means that while they are, as we have seen, very anxious to watch him (это означает, что насколько упорно они, как мы видели, следят за ним; to be anxious — сильно желать) , they are equally anxious that he should not see them (они настолько же упорно не хотят, чтоб он их заметил; equally — в равной степени) . Now, this is a most suggestive fact (ну, это очень важный факт; suggestive — наводящий на мысли; to suggest — предлагать, советовать; наводить на мысль) ."

"What does it suggest (чем же он важен) ?"

"It suggests (он наводит на мысль, что) — halloa, my dear fellow, what on earth is the matter (эй, мой дорогой друг, в чем дело; earth — земля; on earth — употребляется для усиления) ?"

claim [kleIm], continue [k@n'tInju:], hotel [h@(u)'tel]

"Thank you; I am afraid I cannot claim her acquaintance. We have established a most important fact by these questions, Watson," he continued, in a low voice, as we went upstairs together. "We know now that the people who are so interested in our friend have not settled down in his own hotel. That means that while they are, as we have seen, very anxious to watch him, they are equally anxious that he should not see them. Now, this is a most suggestive fact."

"What does it suggest?"

"It suggests — halloa, my dear fellow, what on earth is the matter?"

As we came round the top of the stairs (когда мы поднялись на верхнюю /площадку/) we had run up against Sir Henry Baskerville himself (мы столкнулись с сэром Генри Баскервилем собственной персоной; to run up against — наскочить, наткнуться) . His face was flushed with anger (его лицо пылало от гнева) , and he held an old and dusty boot in one of his hands (и в одной руке он держал старый и пыльный ботинок; to hold) . So furious was he that he was hardly articulate (он был настолько взбешен, что едва /мог/ отчетливо произносить /слова/) , and when he did speak (а когда он действительно заговорил) it was in a much broader and more Western dialect (его американский акцент /звучал/ намного резче; broad — широкий; резкий /об акценте/) than any which we had heard from him in the morning (чем тот, который мы слышали от него утром) .
