Corum looked to one side (Корум посмотрел в одну сторону). There was the sea, green and foaming against the shingle (там было море, зеленое, разбивавшееся в пену о берег; to foam — пениться; взмыливаться; shingle — галька, голыши; берег, покрытый галькой). He looked to the other side, his blind side (он посмотрел в другую, свою слепую сторону = направо), and managed to strain his head round to see what was there (и сумел вывернуть голову, чтобы увидеть, что находится там; to strain — натягивать/ся/, растягивать/ся/; напрягаться).

berate [b'ret] length [le] shoulder ['uld] shingle [' l]

Corum cursed and was about to berate Serwde when his senses left him once again and he fell full-length on the grass.

He was awakened by the sound of the sea.

At first he could not decide what was happening to him and then he realised that he was being carried, face down, over Serwde's shoulder. He struggled, but the Brown Man of Laahr was much stronger than he appeared to be. He held Corum firmly.

Corum looked to one side. There was the sea, green and foaming against the shingle. He looked to the other side, his blind side, and managed to strain his head round to see what was there.

It was the sea again (там тоже было море). He was being carried along a narrow piece of land that rose out of the water (/Сервд/ нес его по узкому участку земли, который выступал из воды; to rise — подниматься, возвышаться; увеличиваться). Eventually, though his head was bumping up and down as Serwde jogged along (в конце концов, несмотря на то, что его голова поднималась и опускалась, когда Сервд шел, подпрыгивая; to bump — ударять/ся/; толкать; to jog — идти, ехать подскакивая; трястись), he saw that they had left the mainland (он увидел, что они покинули материк: «главную землю») and were moving along some kind of natural causeway (и шли /теперь/ по своего рода естественной дамбе; causeway — дамба; гать, насыпная дорога) that stretched out into the ocean (что простиралась/уходила в океан).

Seabirds called (морские птицы кричали). Corum shouted and struggled, but Serwde remained deaf to his curses and entreaties (Корум закричал и забился, но Сервд оставался глух к его ругательствам и мольбам), until the Brown Man stopped at last and dumped him to the ground (до тех пор, пока, наконец, Мохнатый Человек не остановился и не уронил его довольно грубо на землю; to dump — выгружать, сваливать; ронять с шумом).

It was the sea again. He was being carried along a narrow piece of land that rose out of the water. Eventually, though his head was bumping up and down as Serwde jogged along, he saw that they had left the mainland and were moving along some kind of natural causeway that stretched out into the ocean.

Seabirds called. Corum shouted and struggled, but Serwde remained deaf to his curses and entreaties, until the Brown Man stopped at last and dumped him to the ground.

Corum got up (Корум встал).

`Serwde, I…

He paused, looking about him (он запнулся, оглядываясь вокруг /себя/).

They had come to the end of the causeway and were on an island (они дошли до конца дамбы и были на острове) that rose steeply from the sea (который круто поднимался из моря). At the peak of the island was a castle of a kind of architecture Corum had never seen before (на вершине острова стоял замок такого типа архитектуры, /которого/ Корум никогда не видел раньше).

Corum got up.

`Serwde, I…

Was this the Mabden place Serwde had spoken of (/не/ было ли это мабденским местом, о котором говорил Сервд; to speak)?
