Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море

The old man dropped the line and put his foot on it and lifted the harpoon as high as he could and drove it down with all his strength, and more strength he had just summoned, into the fish's side just behind the great chest fin that rose high in the air to the altitude of the man's chest. He felt the iron go in and he leaned on it and drove it further and then pushed all his weight after it.

Then the fish came alive (затем рыба ожила), with his death in him (со смертью внутри себя = хотя несла в себе смерть), and rose high out of the water (и поднялась высоко над водой) showing all his great length and width (показывая весь свой огромный размер: «свою великую длину и ширину») and all his power and his beauty (и всю свою силу и красоту). He seemed to hang in the air above the old man in the skiff (казалось, она зависла в воздухе над стариком в лодке). Then he fell into the water (затем она упала в воду ) with a crash that sent spray over the old man and over all of the skiff (с грохотом, который залил брызгами старика и лодку; spray — водяная пыль, мелкие брызги).

The old man felt faint and sick (старик почувствовал слабость и тошноту) and he could not see well (он не мог хорошо видеть). But he cleared the harpoon line (но он отпустил лесу гарпуна) and let it run slowly through his raw hands (и позволил ей медленно бежать = скользить через его ободранные руки; raw — ободранный, лишенный кожи) and, when he could see (и когда он мог снова видеть), he saw the fish was on his back with his silver belly up (он увидел, что рыба была на спине серебристым брюхом кверху). The shaft of the harpoon was projecting at an angle from the fish's shoulder (древко гарпуна выходило под углом из лопатки рыбы) and the sea was discolouring with the red of the blood from his heart (и море окрасилось в красный цвет от крови из ее сердца). First it was dark as a shoal in the blue water that was more than a mile deep (сначала она была темной, словно стая рыб заполнила голубую воду на милю вглубь; shoal — стая, косяк /рыб/). Then it spread like a cloud (затем оно расплылось, как облако). The fish was silvery and still (рыба была серебристой и неподвижной) and floated with the waves (и покачивалась на волнах; to float — держаться на поверхности воды).

The old man looked carefully in the glimpse of vision that he had (старик смотрел внимательно, насколько позволяло ему зрение: «в проблеске зрения, которое у него было»; glimpse — проблеск, беглый взгляд; vision — зрение). Then he took two turns of the harpoon line around the bitt in the bow (затем он дважды обмотал лесу гарпуна вокруг кнехта на носу) and hid his head on his hands (и опустил: «спрятал» голову на руки; to hide — прятать, скрывать).

"Keep my head clear (держать голову ясной)," he said against the wood of the bow (сказал он, прижавшись к обшивке носа лодки). "I am a tired old man (я уставший старик). But I have killed this fish which is my brother (но я убил эту рыбу, которая мне брат) and now I must do the slave work (и теперь я должен сделать черную: «рабскую» работу)."
