Английский язык с О. Уайльдом. Счастливый принц и другие сказки / Oscar Wilde. The Happy Prince And Other Tales

`Alas! I have no ruby now (увы, теперь у меня нет рубина),' said the Prince; `my eyes are all that I have left (мои глаза — вот все, что у меня осталось; to leave (left) — уходить, оставлять). They are made of rare sapphires (они сделаны из редких сапфиров), which were brought out of India (которые были привезены из Индии; to bring (brought) — приносить, привозить) a thousand years ago (тысячу лет назад). Pluck out one of them (вытащи один из них; to pluck — срывать, щипать) and take it to him (и отнеси его тому юноше: «ему»). He will sell it to the jeweller (он продаст его ювелиру), and buy food and firewood (и купит еды и дров; fire — огонь, wood — лес, древесина), and finish his play (и закончит свою пьесу).'

`Dear Prince,' said the Swallow, `I cannot do that (я не могу сделать этого);' and he began to weep (и он начал плакать).

`Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow,' said the Prince, `do as I command you (сделай как я приказываю тебе).'

jeweller ['dζu:ələ] firewood ['faiəwυd] command [kə'mα:nd]

`I will wait with you one night longer,' said the Swallow, who really had a good heart. `Shall I take him another ruby?'

`Alas! I have no ruby now,' said the Prince; `my eyes are all that I have left. They are made of rare sapphires, which were brought out of India a thousand years ago. Pluck out one of them and take it to him. He will sell it to the jeweller, and buy food and firewood, and finish his play.'

`Dear Prince,' said the Swallow, `I cannot do that;' and he began to weep.

`Swallow, Swallow, little Swallow,' said the Prince, `do as I command you.'

So the Swallow plucked out the Prince's eye (тогда Ласточка вытащил /сапфир/ из глаза Принца), and flew away to the student's garret (и улетел к чердаку/мансарде студента). It was easy enough to get in (попасть внутрь было достаточно просто; to get in — входить, влезать), as there was a hole in the roof (так как в крыше была дыра). Through this he darted (сквозь эту /дыру/ он /стремительно/ влетел; to dart — помчаться стрелой, метнуться), and came into the room (и попал: «вошел» в комнату; to come (came, come) — приходить). The young man had his head buried in his hands (молодой человек закрыл /свою/ голову /своими/ руками; to bury — хоронить; прятать, скрывать), so he did not hear the flutter of the bird's wings (поэтому он не слышал трепетания крыльев /птицы = ласточки/), and when he looked up (и когда он поднял глаза) he found the beautiful sapphire (он обнаружил прекрасный сапфир; to find (found) — находить, отыскивать) lying on the withered violets (лежащий на засохших фиалках; to lie (lay, lain) — лежать).
