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

The jug had evidently been once filled with water (кувшин был очевидно когда-то наполнен водой), as it was covered inside with green mould (так как внутри он был покрыт зеленой плесенью). There was nothing on the trencher but a pile of dust (на доске для резки хлеба не было ничего, кроме кучки пыли). Virginia knelt down beside the skeleton (Вирджиния встала на колени возле скелета; to kneel — преклонять колени, становиться на колени), and, folding her little hands together (и, сложив руки вместе), began to pray silently (начала беззвучно молиться), while the rest of the party looked on in wonder at the terrible tragedy (в то время как все остальные смотрели с удивлением на ужасную трагедию) whose secret was now disclosed to them (секрет которой был теперь раскрыт для них).

"Hallo (привет)!" suddenly exclaimed one of the twins (внезапно воскликнул один из близнецов), who had been looking out of the window (который смотрел в окно) to try and discover in what wing of the house the room was situated (пытаясь определить, в каком крыле дома находилась комната). "Hallo! the old withered almond-tree has blossomed (старое засохшее миндальное дерево расцвело). I can see the flowers quite plainly in the moonlight (я вижу: «могу видеть» цветы вполне отчетливо при свете луны)."

"God has forgiven him (Бог простил его; to forgive)," said Virginia, gravely (серьезно), as she rose to her feet (в то время как она поднималась с колен = поднимаясь с колен; to rise), and a beautiful light seemed to illumine her face (и казалось, лучезарный свет осветил ее лицо; beautiful — прекрасный).

“What an angel you are (какой ты ангел)!” cried the young Duke (воскликнул молодой герцог), and he put his arm round her neck (и, обняв ее рукой за шею; to put — положить, поместить), and kissed her (поцеловал ее).
