"I must give him something more than the belly meat then. He is very thoughtful for us."

"He sent two beers."

"I like the beer in cans best."

"I know. But this is in bottles, Hatuey beer, and I take back the bottles."

"That's very kind of you," the old man said. "Should we eat?"

"I've been asking you to," the boy told him gently. "I have not wished to open the container until you were ready."

"I'm ready now," the old man said. "I only needed time to wash."

Where did you wash (где ты помылся)? the boy thought. The village water supply was two streets down the road (деревенская колонка: «водоснабжение» была двумя кварталами: «улицами» ниже по дороге). I must have water here for him (я должен припасти ему воды), the boy thought, and soap and a good towel (и мыло, и хорошее полотенце). Why am I so thoughtless (почему я такой нечуткий = как я раньше об этом не подумал; thoughtless — безрассудный, беспечный; неразумный; thought — мысль)? I must get him another shirt (я должен достать ему другую рубашку) and a jacket for the winter (и куртку на зиму) and some sort of shoes (и какие-нибудь ботинки; some sort of — какой-нибудь) and another blanket (и другое одеяло = еще одно одеяло).

towel ['tauql], water ['wLtq], winter ['wIntq]

"Your stew is excellent (твое тушеное мясо превосходно)," the old man said.

"Tell me about the baseball (расскажи мне о бейсболе)," the boy asked him.

"In the American League it is the Yankees as I said (в Американской Лиге, как я и сказал, это «Янки» = выигрывают «Янки»)," the old man said happily (радостно; happily — счастливо; с удовольствием).

"They lost today (они сегодня проиграли)," the boy told him.

"That means nothing (это ничего не значит). The great DiMaggio is himself again (великий Ди Маджо снова в форме: «является собой снова»)."

"They have other men on the team (у них есть и другие люди в команде)."

"Naturally (конечно). But he makes the difference (но он решает исход игры: «он делает разницу»). In the other league (в другой лиге), between Brooklyn and Philadelphia I must take Brooklyn (между Бруклином и Филадельфией, я бы поставил на Бруклин; to take — брать; верить, считать истинным). But then I think of Dick Sisler (но потом я думаю о Дике Сислере) and those great drives in the old park (и те великие удары в старом парке; drive — спорт. удар по мячу)."

"There was nothing ever like them (не было ничего, чтобы могло когда-либо сравниться с ними /ударами/). He hits the longest ball I have ever seen (он бьет самые длинные мячи, которые я когда-либо видел)."

"Do you remember when he used to come to the Terrace (ты помнишь времена, когда он приходил на Террасу)? I wanted to take him fishing (я хотел взять его с собой на рыбалку) but I was too timid to ask him (но был слишком робок, чтобы предложить ему; timid — робкий, застенчивый). Then I asked you to ask him (потом я попросил тебя, чтобы ты попросил его) and you were too timid."

excellent ['eksqlqnt], happily ['hepIlI], timid ['tImId]

"Do you remember when he used to come to the Terrace? I wanted to take him fishing but I was too timid to ask him. Then I asked you to ask him and you were too timid."

"I know. It was a great mistake (это было большой ошибкой). He might have gone with us (он мог бы выйти с нами /в море/). Then we would have that for all of our lives (тогда у нас бы было это /воспоминание/ на всю жизнь = было бы о чем вспоминать до самой смерти)."

"I would like to take the great DiMaggio fishing (хотел бы я взять = вот бы взять на рыбалку великого Ди Маджо)," the old man said. "They say his father was a fisherman (говорят, его отец был рыбаком). Maybe he was as poor as we are and would understand (возможно, он был так же беден, как и мы, и понял бы /нас/ = не погнушался бы)."
