The hatred between these two parties was so strong
(ненависть между этими двумя партиями столь сильна = велика) that they wouldn't eat or drink together (что они не станут ни есть, ни пить вместе = за одним столом; wouldn't = would not). Nor would they talk to each other (и не станут /даже/ говорить друг с другом; nor — также не). The Tramecksan, or High-Heels, were more numerous (тремексены, или Высокие Каблуки, более многочисленны), but the Low-Heels had the real power (но реальная власть принадлежит Низким Каблукам). He told me that His Highness the Prince (он рассказал мне, что его высочество принц), the heir to the crown (наследник короны = престола), had a leaning towards the High-Heels (имеет /некоторое/ расположение к Высоким Каблукам; to lean — наклонять/ся/; склоняться; leaning — склонность; расположение, симпатия). At least they discovered (по крайней мере, было замечено: «они обнаружили»; to cover — накрывать, закрывать; to discover — обнаруживать, раскрывать, узнавать) that one of his heels was higher than the other (что один каблук у него выше другого), making him hobble when he walked (что заставляет его прихрамывать при ходьбе; to make — делать, создавать; быть причиной, вызвать; заставлять, побуждать).

Now, on top of all this
(теперь, в довершение всего = всех бед; top — верхушка, вершина, верх), the country was threatened with an invasion from the island of Blefuscu (стране грозит нашествие с острова Блефуску; to threaten — грозить, угрожать /чем-л./; threatened — находящийся под угрозой). This was the other great Empire of the Universe (это другая великая империя во вселенной) and almost as large as Lilliput (почти такая же большая, как Лилипутия). Although they had heard from me (несмотря на то, что они слышали от меня) that there were other kingdoms in the world (что на свете существуют другие королевства) with people as large as myself (с людьми такими же большими, как я сам), they were in doubt (они /в этом/ сомневались: «были в сомнении») and would prefer to think (и были скорее готовы допустить: «предпочли бы думать/считать»; would здесь используется для образования условного наклонения) that I had dropped from the moon (что я упал с луны) or one of the stars (или с какой-нибудь звезды: «одной из звезд»). A hundred people of my size (/ведь/ сто человек моего размера = роста) would, in a short time, destroy all the crops and cattle on His Majesty's land (в короткое время уничтожили бы все плоды и весь скот на земле его величества; to destroy — разрушать; истреблять, уничтожать; crop — сельскохозяйственная культура; урожай; посев).
