Английский язык с Джонатаном Свифтом Путешествия Гулливера

More and more people began to turn up at the farmer's house (в доме фермера стало появляться все больше: «больше и больше» народу; to turn up — подворачивать/ся/; /внезапно/ появляться, приходить, приезжать), asking to see me (желающих: «просящих» посмотреть меня). There was room for thirty people in the largest room (в самой большой комнате могло поместиться тридцать человек: «было /достаточно/ места для…»; room — место, пространство; комната) and the farmer asked for the amount of money (и фермер запрашивал/требовал плату: «количество/сумму денег») that thirty people would pay (как за: «которую заплатили бы» тридцать человек), even when the show was put on for a single family (даже если представление устраивалось /всего/ для одной семьи; single — один; единственный).

arrange [ə'reɪndʒ], tired ['taɪəd], recover [rɪ'kʌvə]

The farmer was very pleased at the end of the day and arranged to show me again on the next market-day. I was so tired that I could hardly stand or speak. After returning to the farm it took me three days to recover my strength. This was partly because I was given very little rest.

Soon I had to do my tricks many times a day (скоро мне проходилось проделывать свои трюки по много раз на дню) every day of the week, except Wednesdays (каждый день, кроме среды; week — неделя). Wednesday is the Sabbath in Brobdingnag (среда — священный день отдохновения в Бробдингнаге). We continued to ride into town on market-days (в базарные дни мы продолжали ездить в город). When I had been with the family for about two months (когда я пробыл в семье около двух месяцев), I was told that the farmer was planning to take me (мне сказали, что фермер собирается отвезти меня) to the biggest city in the land (в самый большой город в стране), Lorbrulgrud.

We set out on this journey of three thousand miles on August 17^th, 1703 (мы отправились в это путешествие /длиною/ в три тысячи миль 17 августа 1703 года). The farmer rode his horse (фермер ехал верхом на лошади) and Glumdalclitch rode behind him (а Глюмдалклич ехала = сидела позади него). She carried me in a box (она носила = держала меня в ящике) tied to her waist (привязанном к ее талии), and she had done everything she could (и сделала все, что могла) to make me as comfortable as possible (чтобы устроить меня как можно удобнее: «так удобно, как /только/ возможно»). I even had my bed and spare clothes with me in the box (со мной в ящике была даже моя кровать/постель и одежда на смену; spare — запасной; лишний, дополнительный). A young farm worker rode behind us with our luggage (один молодой работник ехал за нами с багажом).
