Английский язык с Конан Дойлем. Этюд в багровых тонах (ASCII-IPA)

"Good boy," said Holmes, blandly (молодец, — обходительно сказал Холмс; blandly — мягко, вежливо, обходительно, ласково). "Why don't you introduce this pattern at Scotland Yard (почему бы вам в Скотленд-Ярде не принять на вооружение эту модель; to introduce — внедрять; pattern — образец, модель)?" he continued, taking a pair of steel handcuffs from a drawer (продолжил он, доставая из ящика стола пару наручников; steel — сталь; стальной; drawer — выдвижной ящик стола, комода). "See how beautifully the spring works (посмотрите, как изумительно работает эта пружина). They fasten in an instant (они защелкиваются моментально; to fasten — застегиваться; запираться)."

Gregson and Lestrade seemed to be far from satisfied by this assurance, or by the depreciating allusion to the detective police. The former had flushed up to the roots of his flaxen hair, while the other's beady eyes glistened with curiosity and resentment. Neither of them had time to speak, however, before there was a tap at the door, and the spokesman of the street Arabs, young Wiggins, introduced his insignificant and unsavoury person.

"Please, sir," he said, touching his forelock, "I have the cab downstairs."

"Good boy," said Holmes, blandly. "Why don't you introduce this pattern at Scotland Yard?" he continued, taking a pair of steel handcuffs from a drawer. "See how beautifully the spring works. They fasten in an instant."

"The old pattern is good enough," remarked Lestrade (старая модель достаточно хороша, — заметил Лестрейд), "if we can only find the man to put them on (было бы на кого их надеть: «если мы только можем найти того человека, на которого их надеть»)."

"Very good, very good," said Holmes, smiling (очень хорошо, очень хорошо, — сказал Холмс, улыбаясь). "The cabman may as well help me with my boxes (пожалуй, кебмен может помочь мне с багажом; as well — с таким же успехом; вдобавок, к тому же; box — коробка; ящик; сундук). Just ask him to step up, Wiggins (попроси-ка его подняться наверх, Виггинс; to step — ступать, шагать)."

I was surprised to find my companion speaking as though he were about to set out on a journey (я был удивлен, что мой компаньон говорит так: «обнаружить моего компаньона говорящим так», словно мы собираемся отправиться в путешествие), since he had not said anything to me about it (так как он мне об этом ничего не сказал). There was a small portmanteau in the room (в комнате был небольшой чемодан; portmanteau — чемодан; дорожная сумка), and this he pulled out and began to strap (его он выдвинул и начал стягивать ремнями; to pull — тянуть, тащить; to strap — стягивать ремнем). He was busily engaged at it when the cabman entered the room (он как раз деловито этим занимался, когда вошел кебмен; busily — деловито, энергично).
