Английский язык с Джонатаном Свифтом. Путешествия Гулливера

Within three weeks this skilled worker (в три недели этот искусный/умелый мастер) had made a wooden box with a door (соорудил деревянный ящик с дверью), windows and furniture (окнами и мебелью) that could have been seen in a bedroom in London (какие можно увидеть в лондонской спальне). The board that was the ceiling (доска, служившая потолком) lifted up and down on two hinges (поднималась и опускалась на петлях; to lift up — поднимать/ся/; to lift down — опускать/ся/). Glumdalclitch lifted my bed out through the roof every day to air it (каждый день вынимала мою кровать через крышу для проветривания; air — воздух; to air — проветривать; вентилировать). She put it back each evening (каждый вечер она ставила ее обратно = на место) and locked the roof (и запирала крышу). I had two chairs (у меня было два стула/кресла), two tables (два стола) and a cupboard for my things (и шкаф для моих вещей). The smallest lock in the kingdom was made for this cupboard (для этого шкафа был сделан самый маленький замок в королевстве) and I kept the key to this lock myself (и я сам хранил ключ от этого замка: «к этому замку»).

Within three weeks this skilled worker had made a wooden box with a door, windows and furniture that could have been seen in a bedroom in London. The board that was the ceiling lifted up and down on two hinges. Glumdalclitch lifted my bed out through the roof every day to air it. She put it back each evening and locked the roof. I had two chairs, two tables and a cupboard for my things. The smallest lock in the kingdom was made for this cupboard and I kept the key to this lock myself.

The Queen also ordered clothes for me (королева приказала также сделать мне одежду), to be made from the finest of silks (из самых тонких шелковых тканей). These were not much thicker than an English blanket (эта /одежда/ была ненамного толще английского шерстяного одеяла) and I soon grew used to them (и я скоро к ней привык). My room was also lined with quilt on the sides (комната моя также была обшита мягкой материей по бокам/стенам; quilt — стеганое одеяло; лоскутное одеяло; /стеганое/ покрывало), floor and ceiling (полу и потолку). I was quite safe inside my box when it was carried (я был в совершенной безопасности в моем ящике, когда его носили; safe — безопасный; защищенный от опасности; находящийся в безопасности).

I was allowed to eat at the Queen's table every day (мне было позволено каждый день обедать за столом королевы). A small dining table and chair had been made for me (маленький обеденный столик и стул были сделаны для меня) and were placed on her table near her left elbow (и ставились на стол возле ее левого локтя). Glumdalclitch stood on a stool near by me (стояла около меня на табурете), ready to help with anything I needed (готовая помочь во всем, что мне потребуется). A set of silver dishes and plates were made for me (для меня был изготовлен набор серебряных блюд и тарелок), and it amused the Queen (и королеве было очень интересно: «королеву очень забавляло») to watch me carving my meat from a small piece (смотреть, как я отрезаю себе мясо от маленького кусочка) that had been put on one of my dishes (положенного: «который был положен» на одно из моих блюд).
