Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море

The bird went higher in the air and circled again (птица поднялась выше в воздух и снова закружила), his wings motionless (ее крылья /были при этом/ неподвижны). Then he dove suddenly (затем она неожиданно нырнула; to dive — нырять) and the old man saw flying fish spurt out of the water (и старик увидел, как летучая рыба выпрыгнула из воды; to spurt out — бить струей, выбрасывать /пламя/) and sail desperately over the surface (и отчаянно поплыла по поверхности).

"Dolphin (дорадо)," the old man said aloud (сказал вслух). "Big dolphin (крупная дорадо)."

hurry ['hArI], dove [dquv], desperately ['despqrqtlI]

He rowed slowly and steadily toward where the bird was circling. He did not hurry and he kept his lines straight up and down. But he crowded the current a little so that he was still fishing correctly though faster than he would have fished if he was not trying to use the bird.

He shipped his oars (он поднял весла на борт; to ship — поднимать /весла/ на борт) and brought a small line from under the bow (и достал небольшую лесу из-под настила на носу лодки). It had a wire leader and a medium-sized hook (на ней была проволока и среднего размера крючок) and he baited it with one of the sardines (и он насадил на него одну из сардин). He let it go over the side and then made it fast to a ring bolt in the stern (он закинул ее /леску/ за борт и затем прикрепил к шурупу с ушком в корме). Then he baited another line and left it coiled in the shade of the bow (затем он насадил наживку на другую лесу и оставил ее свернутой в тени носа лодки). He went back to rowing and to watching the long-winged black bird who was working, now, low over the water (он продолжил грести и наблюдать за длиннокрылой черной птицей, которая работала = передвигалась/охотилась сейчас низко над водой).

As he watched the bird dipped again slanting his wings for the dive (пока он наблюдал, птица снова нырнула в воду, сложив крылья для погружения; to slant — отклонять) and then swinging them wildly and ineffectually as he followed the flying fish (и затем махая ими неистово и неэффективно, пока она следовала за летучей рыбой = пытаясь догнать летучую рыбу). The old man could see the slight bulge in the water (старик видел небольшую выпуклость в воде = как вода слегка вздымалась; slight — небольшой, незначительный; bulge — выпуклость, округлый выступ) that the big dolphin raised as they followed the escaping fish (которую поднимала крупная дорадо, гонясь за убегающей рыбой; to escape — убегать, спасаться бегством). The dolphin were cutting through the water below the flight of the fish (дорадо шла ей наперерез под /линией/ полета птицы; to cut — резать; сокращать путь, срезать) and would be in the water (и будет в воде), driving at speed (идя на скорости), when the fish dropped (когда рыба упадет). It is a big school of dolphin (это большая стая дорадо), he thought. They are widespread (они широко распространены = они плывут поодаль друг от друга) and the flying fish have little chance (и у летучей рыбы мало шансов). The bird has no chance (у птицы нет шансов). The flying fish are too big for him (летучая рыба слишком большая для нее) and they go too fast (и они слишком быстры).
