Английский язык с Джеком Лондоном. В далекой стране (рассказы)

"So he went against the bald-face (и вот он вышел против белоголового /гризли/), very brave (очень храбрый), and fired the pistol with great swiftness six times (и выстрелил из пистолета шесть раз с удивительной быстротой); and the bald-face but grunted and broke in his breast like it were an egg (а белоголовый лишь заворчал и проломил ему грудь, как будто это было яйцо), and like honey from a bee's nest dripped the brains of Koo-So-Tee upon the ground (и, как мед из пчелиного гнезда, потекли мозги Ку-Со-Ти на землю). He was a good hunter (он был хороший охотник), and there was no one to bring meat to his squaw and children (а /теперь/ некому было принести мясо его скво и детям; squaw — скво, жена, супруга). And we were bitter (и нам стало горько), and we said, 'That which for the white men is well, is for us not well (то, что хорошо для белых людей, не годится для нас). And this be true (и это правда). There be many white men and fat (много белых людей, и /они/ толстые), but their ways have made us few and lean (но от их обычаев нас стало мало, и мы стали худыми).

"Came the third white man (пришел третий белый человек), with great wealth of all manner of wonderful foods and things (с огромным богатством из всякого рода замечательных яств и вещей). And twenty of our strongest dogs he took from us in trade (и двадцать наших сильнейших собак выменял он у нас; trade — торговля; сделка, обмен). Also, what of presents and great promises (к тому же, благодаря подаркам и большим обещаниям), ten of our young hunters did he take with him on a journey (увел он с собой десять наших молодых охотников в путь) which fared no man knew where (который лежал неизвестно куда: «никто не знал куда»). It is said they died in the snow of the Ice Mountains (говорят, они умерли в снегах Ледяных гор) where man has never been (где никогда не был человек), or in the Hills of Silence which are beyond the edge of the earth (или в Холмах Безмолвия, которые лежат за краем земли). Be that as it may (как бы там ни было), dogs and young hunters were seen never again by the Whitefish people (народ Белой Рыбы никогда больше не видел собак и молодых охотников).

"And more white men came with the years (и еще приходили белые люди с каждым годом), and ever, with pay and presents (и всегда за плату и подарки), they led the young men away with them (они уводили молодых мужчин с собой). And sometimes the young men came back with strange tales of dangers and toils in the lands beyond the Pellys (и порой молодые мужчины возвращались с удивительными историями об опасностях и ловушках в краях за /землями/ пелли), and sometimes they did not come back (а порой они не возвращались). And we said: 'If they be unafraid of life (если они не боятся за /свою/ жизнь), these white men (эти белые люди), it is because they have many lives (это потому, что у них много жизней); but we be few by the Whitefish (но нас мало у /племени/ Белой Рыбы), and the young men shall go away no more (и молодые мужчины больше не будут уходить). But the young men did go away (но молодые мужчины все-таки уходили); and the young women went also (и молодые женщины уходили тоже); and we were very wroth (и мы очень разгневались; wroth — разгневанный).
