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

When he turned the corner, he came full in sight of the spot where the fire had been lit (миновав поворот, он увидел целиком то место: «пришел полностью в поле зрения того места», где был разожжен костер; to turn — поворачивать; огибать; to light). There was still a glowing pile of wood ashes there (там по-прежнему тлела груда золы; wood — древесный; ash — зола, пепел), but it had evidently not been tended since his departure (но костер явно не поддерживали с тех пор, как он ушел: «с его ухода»; to tend — ухаживать; присматривать). The same dead silence still reigned all round (вокруг все еще царило все то же мертвое молчание). With his fears all changed to convictions, he hurried on (все его страхи превратились в уверенность; он заспешил вперед; conviction — убежденность, твердая вера). There was no living creature near the remains of the fire (возле остатков костра не было ни единого живого существа): animals, man, maiden, all were gone (животные, старик: «мужчина», девушка — исчезли все). It was only too clear that some sudden and terrible disaster had occurred during his absence (было совершенно: «только слишком» очевидно, что какая-то внезапная и страшная беда случилась за время его отсутствия)— a disaster which had embraced them all (беда, которая настигла их всех; to embrace — охватывать), and yet had left no traces behind it (и, тем не менее, не оставила после себя никаких следов).

He had now come to the mouth of the very defile in which he had left them. Even in the darkness he could recognize the outline of the cliffs which bounded it. They must, he reflected, be awaiting him anxiously, for he had been absent nearly five hours. In the gladness of his heart he put his hands to his mouth and made the glen re-echo to a loud halloo as a signal that he was coming. He paused and listened for an answer. None came save his own cry, which clattered up the dreary silent ravines, and was borne back to his ears in countless repetitions. Again he shouted, even louder than before, and again no whisper came back from the friends whom he had left such a short time ago. A vague, nameless dread came over him, and he hurried onwards frantically, dropping the precious food in his agitation.
