Английский язык с О. Уайльдом. Кентервильское привидение / О. Wilde: The Canterville Ghost

"Good heavens (Боже мой)! child, where have you been (дитя, где ты была)?" said Mr. Otis, rather angrily (довольно сердито; anger — гнев; раздражение), thinking that she had been playing some foolish trick on them (думая, что она сыграла с ними какую-то глупую шутку). "Cecil and I have been riding all over the country looking for you (Сесиль и я объездили всю округу в поисках тебя; the country — /данная/ сельская местность), and your mother has been frightened to death (а твоя мать напугалась: «была напугана» до смерти). You must never play these practical jokes any more (ты не должна никогда больше так шутить; practical joke — /грубая/ шутка /сыгранная с кем-л./, розыгрыш)."

"Except on the Ghost (только над привидением; except — кроме)! except on the Ghost!" shrieked the twins (завопили близнецы), as they capered about (прыгая вокруг /них/).

"My own darling (моя дорогая), thank God you are found (слава Богу, что ты нашлась); you must never leave my side again (ты никогда больше не должна отходить от меня; to leave — оставлять, покидать; side — сторона, бок; again — снова)," murmured Mrs. Otis (пробормотала миссис Отис), as she kissed the trembling child (в то время как она целовала дрожащую девочку; child — дитя, ребенок), and smoothed the tangled gold of her hair (и приглаживала ее спутанные золотистые волосы: «спутанное золото ее волос»).

"Papa (папа)," said Virginia, quietly (спокойно), "I have been with the Ghost (я находилась с призраком). He is dead (он умер), and you must come and see him (и вы должны пойти и посмотреть на него). He had been very wicked (он был очень безнравственным/злым), but he was really sorry for all that he had done (но он действительно пожалел о том, что он совершил), and he gave me this box of beautiful jewels before he died (и он дал мне эту шкатулку с прекрасными драгоценностями, перед тем как умер)."
