Читаем Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море полностью

The old man drank his coffee slowly (старик медленно пил свой кофе). It was all he would have all day (это все, что у него будет /из пищи/ на протяжении всего дня) and he knew that he should take it (и он знал, что ему следует взять это = напиться кофе как следует). For a long time now eating had bored him and he never carried a lunch (уже долгое время еда наскучила ему, и он никогда не брал с собой /в море/ завтрак; to bore — надоедать, докучать). He had a bottle of water in the bow of the skiff (у него была бутылка воды на носу лодки; bow — нос корабля) and that was all he needed for the day (и это все, что было ему нужно на весь день).

The boy was back now with the sardines (мальчик уже вернулся с сардинами) and the two baits wrapped in a newspaper (и двумя живцами, завернутыми в газету) and they went down the trail to the skiff (и они спустились вниз по тропинке к лодке; trail — след; тропа), feeling the pebbled sand under their feet (ощущая мелкий гравий под ногами; pebble — галька, гравий; sand — песок), and lifted the skiff and slid her into the water (приподняли лодку и сдвинули ее в воду; to slide — скользить; сдвинуть что-л. скользящее).

"Good luck old man (удачи, старик)."

"Good luck," the old man said. He fitted the rope lashings of the oars onto the thole pins (он закрепил веревки весел на колышки уключин; thole pin — уключина) and, leaning forward against the thrust of the blades in the water (и, налегая на весла: «подаваясь вперед против давления лопастей весел в воде»; blade — лопасть), he began to row out of the harbour in the dark (он вывел лодку: «начал грести» из гавани в темноте). There were other boats from the other beaches going out to sea (были другие лодки, выходящие в море с других берегов) and the old man heard the dip and push of their oars (и старик слышал, как погружались и выталкивались их весла; to dip — мокать, погружать /в воду/; to push — толкать) even though he could not see them now the moon was below the hills (хотя он и не мог видеть их сейчас, когда луна скрылась за холмами).
