He thought much of Rhalina and his love for her (он много думал о Ралине и своей любви к ней). Such a love had never before existed between a Vadhagh and a Mabden (такая любовь никогда раньше не существовала между вадагом и мабденом). His own folk might have considered his feelings for Rhalina degenerate (народ Корума, пожалуй, счел бы его чувства к Ралине извращенными; degenerate — вырождающийся, испорченный), much as a Mabden would suspect such feelings in a man for his mare (подобно тому, как мабден счел бы подозрительными такие чувства в мужчине к его /этого мужчины/ кобыле; much as — почти как), but he was attracted to her more than he had been attracted to any Vadhagh woman and he knew that her intelligence was a match for his (но его влекло к ней сильнее, чем к любой другой вадагской женщине, и он знал, что ее интеллект не уступает его /собственному/; to attract — привлекать, притягивать; match — пара, ровня; равный по силам соперник). It was her moods he found hard to understand — her intimations of doom — her superstition (ему было трудно понять ее настроения — ее проявления обреченности — ее суеверие; mood — настроение, расположение духа; intimation — сообщение, указание; намек; doom — судьба, рок).

Yet Rhalina knew this world better than he (и все же Ралина знала этот мир лучше, чем он). It could be that she was right to entertain such thoughts (могло быть так = возможно, она была права, питая такие мысли = думая подобным образом). His lessons were not yet over (его /же/ уроки еще не закончились).

On the third night, Corum slept, his new hand on the boat's tiller (на третью ночь Корум уснул, /держа/ свою новую руку на румпеле), and in the morning he was awakened by bright sunshine in his eyes (а утром был разбужен ярким солнечным светом, /бившим/ в глаза).

Ahead lay the Thousand League Reef (впереди лежал Тысячемильный Риф).

It stretched from end to end of the horizon and there seemed to be no gap in the sharp fangs of rock that rose from the foaming sea (он протягивался от одного края горизонта до другого, и, казалось, /вообще/ не было пролива в острых клыках скалы = среди похожих на клыки вершин скалы, что поднималась из пенящегося моря; gap — промежуток, брешь, разрыв; проход).

Shool had warned him that few had ever found a passage through the reef and now he could understand why (Шул предупреждал его, что немногие когда-либо находили путь через риф, и теперь он мог понять почему; passage — проход, переправа, путь). The reef was unbroken (риф был непрерывным). It seemed not of natural origin at all (казалось, он вообще не был естественного происхождения), but to have been placed there by some entity as a bastion against intruders (а был помещен сюда каким-то существом в качестве бастиона против незваных гостей; entity — существо, организм; bastion — бастион, укрепление). Perhaps the Knight of the Swords had built it (возможно, Рыцарь Мечей создал его; to build).
