Английский язык с Ф. Баумом. Волшебник Изумрудного Города

The next morning Dorothy kissed the pretty green girl good-bye, and they all shook hands with the soldier with the green whiskers, who had walked with them as far as the gate. When the Guardian of the Gate saw them again he wondered greatly that they could leave the beautiful City to get into new trouble. But he at once unlocked their spectacles, which he put back into the green box, and gave them many good wishes to carry with them.

"You are now our ruler," he said to the Scarecrow; "so you must come back to us as soon as possible."

"I certainly shall if I am able (я, конечно, вернусь, если смогу; able — способный

)," the Scarecrow replied; "but I must help Dorothy to get home, first (но сначала я должен помочь Дороти попасть домой)." As Dorothy bade the good-natured Guardian a last farewell she said (когда Дороти прощалась с добродушным Стражем в последний раз, она сказала): "I have been very kindly treated in your lovely City (со мной очень хорошо обращались в вашем красивом Городе; kindly — доброжелательно; сердечно, любезно), and everyone has been good to me (и все были добры ко мне). I cannot tell you how grateful I am (я не могу выразить, насколько я признательна)."

"Don't try, my dear (не пытайся, моя дорогая)," he answered. "We should like to keep you with us (нам бы хотелось, чтобы ты осталась с нами), but if it is your wish to return to Kansas (но, если твое желание /заключается именно в том, чтобы/ вернуться в Канзас), I hope you will find a way (я надеюсь, что ты найдешь дорогу)". He then opened the gate of the outer wall (затем он открыл ворота внешней стены), and they walked forth and started upon their journey (и они вышли за пределы /Города/ и отправились в путешествие; forth — вперед, дальше; вовне, наружу).

able [eIbl], good-natured ["gud'neItSqd], farewell [feq'wel], kindly ['kaIndlI], outer ['autq]

"I certainly shall if I am able," the Scarecrow replied; "but I must help Dorothy to get home, first." As Dorothy bade the good-natured Guardian a last farewell she said: "I have been very kindly treated in your lovely City, and everyone has been good to me. I cannot tell you how grateful I am."

"Don't try, my dear," he answered. "We should like to keep you with us, but if it is your wish to return to Kansas, I hope you will find a way." He then opened the gate of the outer wall, and they walked forth and started upon their journey.

The sun shone brightly (солнце светило ярко) as our friends turned their faces toward the Land of the South (когда наши друзья повернули свои лица к Стране Юга). They were all in the best of spirits (все они пребывали в наилучшем настроении), and laughed and chatted together (и смеялись, и болтали друг с другом). Dorothy was once more filled with the hope of getting home (Дороти снова: «еще раз» была преисполнена надежды попасть домой), and the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were glad to be of use to her (а Страшила и Железный Дровосек были рады быть ей полезными). As for the Lion, he sniffed the fresh air with delight (что касается Льва, то он с наслаждением вдыхал свежий воздух; to sniff — сопеть; вдыхать /носом, через нос/) and whisked his tail from side to side in pure joy at being in the country again (и махал хвостом из стороны в сторону, в полнейшей радости от того, что он снова был на природе: «в сельской местности»; to whisk — смахивать, сгонять; помахивать, взмахивать; pure — чистый, беспримесный; полнейший, чистейший), while Toto ran around them and chased the moths and butterflies (тогда как Тото бегал вокруг них и гонялся за мотыльками и бабочками; moth — моль; мотылек), barking merrily all the time (весело лая все время).
