Английский язык с Л. Ф. Баумом - Волшебник страны Оз

Just then a bell rang (как раз в этот момент прозвенел звонок), and the green girl said to Dorothy (и зеленая девушка сказала Дороти), "That is the signal (это сигнал). You must go into the Throne Room alone (ты должна идти в Тронный Зал одна)." She opened a little door (она открыла небольшую дверь) and Dorothy walked boldly through and found herself in a wonderful place (и Дороти смело вошла /сквозь нее в Зал/ и очутилась в удивительном месте). It was a big, round room with a high arched roof (это был большой круглый зал с высоким сводчатым потолком; roof — крыша, кровля; потолок), and the walls and ceiling and floor were covered with large emeralds (и стены, и потолок, и пол были покрыты крупными изумрудами) set closely together (уложенными плотно друг к другу). In the center of the roof was a great light (в центре потолка находилась огромная лампа; light — свет, освещение; источник света: лампа, фонарь, прожектор), as bright as the sun, which made the emeralds sparkle in a wonderful manner (такая же яркая, как солнце, которая заставляла изумруды искриться удивительным образом).

But what interested Dorothy most was the big throne of green marble (но что заинтересовало Дороти больше всего, так это большой трон из зеленого мрамора) that stood in the middle of the room (который стоял посреди комнаты). It was shaped like a chair and sparkled with gems (он имел форму кресла и искрился драгоценными камнями; shape — форма; to shape — придавать форму), as did everything else (как и все /вокруг/). In the center of the chair was an enormous Head (в центре кресла была громадная Голова), without a body to support it (без тела, которое бы поддерживало ее) or any arms or legs whatever (или /без/ каких бы то ни было рук или ног). There was no hair upon this head (на этой голове не было волос), but it had eyes and a nose and mouth (но у нее были глаза, нос и рот), and was much bigger than the head of the biggest giant (/и эта голова/ была намного больше, чем голова самого большого великана).
