Then Corum learned cunning (Корум научился хитрости). Instead of attempting to rise (вместо того, чтобы попытаться подняться), he lay where he had fallen until all the chariots had passed (он лежал /на том месте/, где упал, пока все колесницы не проехали /мимо/; to lie). Before they could begin to turn (прежде, чем они начали разворачиваться), he pulled himself to his feet (он вскочил на ноги). His shoulder was bruised (его плечо было ушиблено; to bruise — ушибать, ставить синяки), but the spear had not pierced it (но копье не пронзило его). He stumbled through the darkness (он пошел, спотыкаясь, во тьму), seeking to escape the barbarians (пытаясь убежать от варваров). Then his feet struck something soft (затем его ноги наткнулись на что-то мягкое; to strike — бить, ударять; находить, случайно встречать) and he glanced down and saw the body of his mother (он глянул вниз и увидел тело своей матери) and he saw what had been done to her before she died (он увидел/понял, что было причинено ей = через что она прошла, прежде чем умерла) and a great moan escaped him (и громкий стон вырвался из его /груди/) and tears blinded him (слезы ослепили его) and he took a firmer grip on the axe in his left hand (он крепче сжал топор в левой руке; to take a grip on — схватиться за что-либо; grip — сжатие, хватка; firm — крепко, твердо) and painfully drew his sword, screaming (и болезненно = с большим трудом вытащил меч, крича):

`Glandyth-a-Krae!

And Corum had learned the lust for revenge (Корум познал жажду мести).

The ground shook as the hooves of the horses beat upon it (земля задрожала, когда копыта лошадей застучали по ней; to shake), hauling the returning chariots towards him (/лошадей/, тащивших возвращающиеся колесницы /прямо/ на него). The tall tower of the castle suddenly cracked and crumbled into the flames (высокая башня замка внезапно раскололась и рухнула в пламя; to crumble — крошить/ся/, обвалиться) which leapt higher and brightened the night (которое прыгнуло = взметнулось выше и озарило ночь; to brighten — очищать, полировать; осветлять, озарять) to show Earl Glandyth whipping the horses as he bore down on Corum once again (чтобы показать = и стало видно, как граф Гландит подгоняет лошадей, мчась к Коруму снова; to bear down on).

Corum stood over the corpse of his mother, the gentle Princess Colatalarna (Корум стоял над трупом своей матери, благородной принцессы Колаталарны; gentle — знатный, благородный; мягкий, кроткий, нежный). His first blow split the forehead of the leading horse (его первый удар раскроил лоб = череп передней лошади; to split — раскалывать/ся/, расщеплять/ся/) and it fell, dragging the others down with it (она упала, увлекая остальных за собой; to drag — тянуть, тащить/ся/; увлекать).
