pleasure ['pleZ@], mountain ['mauntIn], ain't [eInt], friend [frend]

The young fellow seemed pleased at the suggestion, and his dark eyes sparkled with pleasure. "I'll do so," he said, "we've been in the mountains for two months, and are not over and above in visiting condition. He must take us as he finds us."

"He has a good deal to thank you for, and so have I," she answered, "he's awful fond of me. If those cows had jumped on me he'd have never got over it."

"Neither would I," said her companion.

"You! Well, I don't see that it would make much matter to you, anyhow. You ain't even a friend of ours."

The young hunter's dark face grew so gloomy over this remark that Lucy Ferrier laughed aloud.

"There, I didn't mean that," she said; "of course, you are a friend now. You must come and see us. Now I must push along, or father won't trust me with his business any more. Good-bye!"

"Good-bye," he answered, raising his broad sombrero (до свиданья, — ответил он, снимая свое широкое сомбреро; to raise — поднимать) , and bending over her little hand (и склоняясь над ее маленькой ручкой) . She wheeled her mustang round (она развернула мустанга) , gave it a cut with her riding-whip (хлестнула его; cut — удар; riding — верховой; для верховой езды; whip — кнут, хлыст) , and darted away down the broad road in a rolling cloud of dust (и унеслась по широкой дороге, вздымая за собой облако пыли: «в вертящемся облаке пыли»; dart — стрела, легкое копье, дротик; to dart — бросать, метать; рвануться, кинуться, помчаться стрелой) .

Young Jefferson Hope rode on with his companions, gloomy and taciturn (молодой Джефферсон Хоуп продолжил путь со своими спутниками, мрачный и молчаливый; to ride — ехать верхом) . He and they had been among the Nevada Mountains prospecting for silver (они искали серебро в горах Невады: «он и они были в горах Невады, разведывая /месторождения/ серебра»; to prospect — проводить разведку, искать полезные ископаемые) , and were returning to Salt Lake City in the hope of raising capital enough (и возвращались в Солт-Лейк-Сити, надеясь изыскать достаточно средств) to work some lodes which they had discovered (для разработки нескольких открытых ими жил; lode — рудная жила; залежь) . He had been as keen as any of them upon the business (он был так же увлечен этим делом, как и любой из них; keen — острый; увлеченный) until this sudden incident had drawn his thoughts into another channel (пока это внезапное происшествие не переключило его мысли в другое русло; to draw — влечь, приводить; навлекать) . The sight of the fair young girl (образ красивой молодой девушки) , as frank and wholesome as the Sierra breezes (такой же свежей и чистой: «открытой и благотворной», как ветер Сьерры; wholesome — полезный для здоровья, благотворный, здоровый; физически крепкий; breeze — легкий ветерок, бриз) , had stirred his volcanic, untamed heart to its very depths (до самой глубины всколыхнул его пылкое, неприрученное сердце; to stir — волновать, возбуждать; volcanic — бурный, горячий; to tame — одомашнивать, приручать; дрессировать, укрощать) . When she had vanished from his sight (когда она исчезла из виду) , he realized that a crisis had come in his life (он понял, что в его жизни наступил перелом; crisis — поворотный пункт, перелом) , and that neither silver speculations nor any other questions could ever be of such importance to him (и что ни сулящее быструю наживу серебро, ни другое какое дело никогда не смогут быть так важны для него; speculation — деятельность, имеющая целью получение легкой и быстрой прибыли) as this new and all-absorbing one (как это новое всепоглощающее чувство) . The love which had sprung up in his heart was not the sudden, changeable fancy of a boy (любовь, которая вспыхнула в его сердце, была не внезапной, проходящей мальчишеской прихотью; to spring up — возникать; changeable — меняющийся, непостоянный) , but rather the wild, fierce passion of a man of strong will and imperious temper (но, скорее, дикой, яростной страстью человека сильной воли и властного характера) . He had been accustomed to succeed in all that he undertook (он привык добиваться успеха во всем, за что бы ни взялся; to undertake — предпринимать) . He swore in his heart that he would not fail in this (в сердце своем он поклялся, что не потерпит неудачи и здесь; to swear — клясться) if human effort and human perseverance could render him successful (если в силах человеческих добиться тут удачи: «если человеческое усилие и человеческое упорство = те усилия и та настойчивость, на которые способен человек могут сделать его успешным»; to render — отдавать, воздавать, платить; приводить в какое-либо состояние) .

taciturn ['t&sIt@:n], fierce [fI@s], imperious [Im'pIerI@s], perseverance [,p@:sI'vI@r(@)ns]
