Английский язык с Конаном-варваром

Almost in the same instant, the blazing eyes vanished (почти в то же самое мгновение пылающие глаза исчезли). So short had been his glimpse and so utter the disappearance that he was tempted to shrug off the sight as a product of his imagination (таким кратким был его взгляд, и таким совершенным исчезновение, что он был склонен отбросить видение, как порождение его фантазии). He turned and went forward again, but now he was on the alert (он повернулся и пошел вперед снова, но теперь он был начеку; on the alert — начеку). As he continued his journey, flaming eyes opened again amid the thick shadows of dense grasses, to follow his silent progress (когда он продолжил свой путь, пылающие глаза раскрылись снова среди густых теней густой травы, чтобы проследить /за/ его безмолвным продвижением). Tawny, sinuous forms glided after him on soundless feet (темно-желтые волнистые формы скользнули за ним на бесшумных лапах; tawny — рыжевато- коричневый; темно-желтый). The lions of Kush were on his track, lusting for hot blood and fresh flesh (львы Куша были на его следе = шли по его следу, сильно желая горячей крови и свежего мяса; to be on the track of — преследовать, идти по следу, напасть на след кого-л., to lust for — страстно желать).

almost [ˈɔ: lməust], product [ˈprɔdəkt], again [əˈɡe(ɪ)n]

2. The Circle of Death (Кру г смерти)

An hour later, night had fallen over the savanna (часом позже ночь опустилась над саванной; to fall — падать), save for a narrow band of sunset glow along the western horizon (кроме узкой полосы закатного зарева вдоль западного горизонта), against which an occasional small, gnarled tree of the veldt stood up in black silhouette (на фоне которого случайное маленькое искривленное деревце степи поднималось черным силуэтом). And Conan had almost reached the limits of his endurance (а Конан почти достиг пределов своей выносливости). Thrice lionesses had rushed upon him out of the shadows to right or to left (трижды львицы набрасывались на него из теней справа или слева). Thrice he had driven them off with the flying death of his arrows (трижды он заставлял их отступить летящей смертью его стрел; to drive off — заставить отступить, сдерживать). Although it was hard to shoot straight in the gathering dark (хотя /это/ было трудно стрелять метко в собирающейся темноте), an explosive snarl from the charging cats had thrice told him of hits (несдержанный рык /от/ нападающих кошек трижды сообщал ему об ударах/выпадах), although he had no way of knowing whether he had slain or only wounded the deadly predators (хотя он имел никакого способа = хотя у него не было способа узнать убил ли он или только ранил смертоносных хищников).
