Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море

"Qué va," the boy said. "There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only you."

"Thank you. You make me happy. I hope no fish will come along so great that he will prove us wrong."

"There is no such fish if you are still strong as you say."

"I may not be as strong as I think," the old man said. "But I know many tricks and I have resolution."

"You ought to go to bed now so that you will be fresh in the morning (тебе следует сейчас лечь спать, чтобы ты был в форме: «свежим» утром). I will take the things back to the Terrace (я отнесу вещи назад на Террасу)."

"Good night then (тогда спокойной ночи). I will wake you in the morning (я разбужу тебя утром)."

"You're my alarm clock (ты — мой будильник)," the boy said.

"Age is my alarm clock (возраст — мой будильник)," the old man said. "Why do old men wake so early (почему старые люди просыпаются так рано)? Is it to have one longer day (не для того ли, чтобы продлить себе хотя бы этот день: «иметь один более длинный день»)?"

"I don't know," the boy said. "All I know is that young boys sleep late and hard (все, что я знаю, это то, что молодые ребята спят допоздна и крепко)."

"I can remember it (я помню это)," the old man said. "I'll waken you in time (я разбужу тебя вовремя)."

"I do not like for him to waken me (я не люблю, когда он будит меня /владелец удачливой яхты/). It is as though I were inferior (как будто я хуже него; inferior — подчиненный; нижний по чину, званию; худший /по качеству/)."

"I know."

"Sleep well old man (спи хорошо, старик)."

ought [Lt], alarm [q'lRm], inferior [In'fIqrIq]

"Sleep well old man."

The boy went out (мальчик вышел). They had eaten with no light on the table (они ели без света на столе) and the old man took off his trousers and went to bed in the dark (и старик снял свои штаны и лег спать в темноте). He rolled his trousers up to make a pillow (он свернул свои брюки, сделав из них подушку), putting the newspaper inside them (положив газету внутрь). He rolled himself in the blanket (он завернулся в одеяло) and slept on the other old newspapers that covered the springs of the bed (и спал на других старых газетах, которые покрывали пружины кровати).

He was asleep in a short time (он быстро заснул) and he dreamed of Africa when he was a boy (и ему снилась Африка, когда он был еще мальчишкой) and the long golden beaches (и длинные золотистые берега) and the white beaches, so white they hurt your eyes (и белые отмели, настолько белые, что болели глаза: «они причиняли боль глазам»), and the high capes (и высокие утесы: «мысы») and the great brown mountains (и большие бурые горы). He lived along that coast now every night (он жил на том побережье каждую ночь) and in his dreams he heard the surf roar (и в своих снах он слышал рев прибоя; roar — рев; грохот) and saw the native boats come riding through it (и видел лодки туземцев, плывущих по ним /волнам/). He smelled the tar and oakum of the deck as he slept (во сне он вдыхал запах смолы и пакли, который шел от палубы; tar — смола, деготь; oakum — пакля) and he smelled the smell of Africa that the land breeze brought at morning (и он вдыхал запах Африки, который приносил береговой ветер по утрам).
