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

John Rance appeared to be somewhat irritated at this digression (казалось, Джон Рэнс был несколько раздражен этим не относящимся к делу вопросом: «этим отклонением от темы»; digression — отступление, отклонение от темы). "He was an uncommon drunk sort o' man (он походил на необычайно пьяного человека: «он был необычно пьяным типом человека»)," he said. "He'd ha' found hisself in the station if we hadn't been so took up (он бы оказался в участке, не будь мы так заняты; hisself = himself; station = police station; to be taken up — быть занятым)."

The constable's features broadened into a grin. "I've seen many a drunk chap in my time," he said, "but never anyone so cryin' drunk as that cove. He was at the gate when I came out, a-leanin' up agin the railings, and a-singin' at the pitch o' his lungs about Columbine's New-fangled Banner, or some such stuff. He couldn't stand, far less help."

"What sort of a man was he?" asked Sherlock Holmes.

"His face — his dress — didn't you notice them?" Holmes broke in impatiently (его лицо, его одежда — разве вы этого не заметили? — нетерпеливо прервал Холмс; to break in — прервать разговор).

"I should think I did notice them (как же не заметить: «я бы подумал, что я в самом деле заметил их»), seeing that I had to prop him up — me and Murcher between us (ведь мне пришлось поднимать его на ноги — мне с Мерчером: «мне с Мерчером пришлось поддерживать его с двух сторон»; to prop up — подпирать). He was a long chap (это был высокий парень), with a red face (краснолицый), the lower part muffled round (нижняя часть лица замотана шарфом: «нижняя часть замотана»; to muffle — закутывать)——"

"That will do," cried Holmes (достаточно, — вскричал Холмс). "What became of him (и куда он делся: «что с ним стало»)?"

"We'd enough to do without lookin' after him (у нас дел было достаточно и без того, чтобы приглядывать за ним)," the policeman said, in an aggrieved voice (сказал полицейский обиженным голосом; to aggrieve — задевать, обижать). "I'll wager he found his way home all right (готов поспорить, что он благополучно добрался до дома: «нашел свой путь домой»; to wager — держать пари, спорить)."

"How was he dressed (как он был одет)?"

"A brown overcoat (коричневое пальто)."

"Had he a whip in his hand (хлыста в руке у него не было)?"

"A whip — no (хлыста — нет)."

"He must have left it behind," muttered my companion (должно быть, выкинул где-то, — пробормотал мой компаньон; to leave behind — оставлять; забывать: «оставлять за /собой/»). "You didn't happen to see or hear a cab after that (вы случайно не заметили или не слышали кеба после этого; to happen — непреднамеренно совершить какое-либо действие)?"

"No (нет)."
