Английский язык с Конаном-варваром

She expressed vindictive gratification at the news, but an instant later swore expressively (она выразила мстительную радость по поводу новости, но мгновение спустя выразительно ругнулась).

"We can't stay here (мы не можем оставаться здесь). It's not many hours until dawn (до зари не много = мало часов). Lesser priests are likely to visit the temple at any hour of the night (младшие жрецы могут посетить храм в любой час ночи), and if we're discovered here with his corpse, the people will tear us to pieces (и если мы будем обнаружены здесь с его трупом, люди разорвут нас на куски). The Turanians could not save us (туранцы не смогли бы спасти нас)." She lifted the bolt on the secret door (она подняла засов на секретной двери), and a few moments later they were in the streets and hurrying away from the silent square (и несколько секунд спустя они были на улицах и спешили прочь от безмолвной площади) where brooded the age-old shrine of Hanuman (где высился древний храм Ханумана).

vindictive [vn'dktv], swore [sw: ], piece [pi: s]

She expressed vindictive gratification at the news, but an instant later swore expressively.

In a winding street a short distance away, Conan halted (на извивающейся улице, на небольшом расстоянии /от храма/ Конан остановился) and checked his companion with a heavy hand on her naked shoulder (и сдержал свою спутницу тяжелой рукой на = за ее обнаженное плечо).

"Don't forget there was a price — (не забудь, /что/ была /назначена/ цена)"

"I have not forgotten!" She twisted free (я не забыла! — она вывернулась свободной = она освободилась, извернувшись). "But we must go to — to Alafdhal first (но мы должны идти — сначала к Алафдалу)!"

A few minutes later the black slave let them through the wicket door (несколько минут спустя черный раб впустил их через дверь с окошком). The young Turanian lay upon the divan, his arms and legs bound with heavy velvet ropes (молодой туранец лежал на диване, его руки и ноги /были/ связаны тяжелыми бархатными канатами). His eyes were open, but they were like those of a mad dog, and foam was thick on his lips (его глаза были открыты, но они были, как те = глаза бешеной собаки, и пена была = лежала густо на его губах). Zabibi shuddered (Забиби содрогнулась).

there [d], forgotten [f'tn], thick [k]

In a winding street a short distance away, Conan halted and checked his companion with a heavy hand on her naked shoulder.

"Don't forget there was a price —»

"I have not forgotten!" She twisted free. "But we must go to — to Alafdhal first!"

A few minutes later the black slave let them through the wicket door. The young Turanian lay upon the divan, his arms and legs bound with heavy velvet ropes. His eyes were open, but they were like those of a mad dog, and foam was thick on his lips. Zabibi shuddered.

"Force his jaws open!" she commanded, and Conan's iron fingers accomplished the task (разожми его челюсти! — скомандовала она, и железные пальцы Конана выполнили задание; to force open — разжать, силой раскрыть).

Zabibi emptied the phial down the maniac's gullet (Забиби опорожнила склянку в глотку маньяка = безумца). The effect was like magic (эффект был словно чудо). Instantly he became quiet (мгновенно он стал спокойным). The glare faded from his eyes (блеск ушел из его глаз); he stared up at the girl in a puzzled way (он уставился на девушку ошеломленно), but with recognition and intelligence (но осознанно и разумно: «с осознанием и разумом»). Then he fell into a normal slumber (затем он провалился в нормальный сон; to fall — падать).

"When he awakes he will be quite sane," she whispered, motioning to the silent slave (когда он проснется, он будет совершенно здоров, — прошептала она, делая жест молчаливому слуге).

accomplish ['kmpl], quiet [kwat], quite [kwat]
