Английский язык с Энтони Хоупом. Узник Зенды

He was riding hard, and he carried a revolver in his hand (он мчался во весь опор, в руке держа револьвер). It was Fritz von Tarlenheim, my faithful friend (это был Фриц фон Тарленхайм, мой верный друг). Rupert saw him, and knew that the game was up (Руперт увидел его и понял, что игра окончена; up – наверху, вверх; указ. на истечение срока, завершение или результат действия). He checked his rush at me and flung his leg over the saddle (он сдержал свой порыв и перекинул ногу через седло; to check – останавливать, сдерживать; rush – стремительное движение; натиск, напор), but yet for just a moment he waited (но еще с мгновение медлил). Leaning forward, he tossed his hair off his forehead (наклонившись вперед, он откинул волосы со лба) and smiled, and said: “Au revoir, Rudolf Rassendyll (и, улыбнувшись, сказал: Прощайте, Рудольф Рассендил; au revoir /фр./ – до свидания)!”

Then, with his cheek streaming blood, but his lips laughing (потом с кровоточащей щекой, но с улыбкой на губах; to stream – течь, струиться) and his body swaying with ease and grace (покачивая телом с легкостью и грацией), he bowed to me; and he bowed to the farm-girl (он поклонился мне, поклонился /маленькой/ фермерше), who had drawn near in trembling fascination (которая подошла ближе, дрожа от восторга; to draw near – приблизиться, подойти; fascination – очарование, притягательность), and he waved his hand to Fritz (и помахал рукой Фрицу), who was just within range and let fly a shot at him (который, будучи уже недалеко, выстрелил в него; range – ряд, линия; дальность, дистанция; to let fly – стрелять). The ball came nigh doing its work, for it struck the sword he held (пуля прошла рядом, сделав свое дело, так как попала в меч, который он держал; to strike – ударять/ся/, бить), and he dropped the sword with an oath, wringing his fingers (и он, выругавшись и изогнув пальцы, бросил меч; to wring – скручивать) and clapped his heels hard on his horse’s belly, and rode away at a gallop (с силой хлопнул = ударил пятками по животу лошади и галопом поскакал прочь).

And I watched him go down the long avenue (я наблюдал, как он удаляется по длинной = прямой дороге), riding as though he rode for his pleasure and singing as he went (скача, как будто для своего удовольствия, и /что-то/ напевая по пути), for all there was that gash in his cheek (несмотря на рану на щеке; for all – хотя, несмотря на).
