Английский язык с П. Треверс. Мэри Поппинс / P. L. Travers: Mary Poppins

“You’ve got something coming to you!” she said significantly. But the burning thing inside him would not let him care. He just shrugged his shoulders and pulled Jane’s hair. And after that he went to the supper table and upset his bread-and-milk.

“And that (а это),” said Mary Poppins, “is the end (есть конец/предел). Such deliberate naughtiness I never saw (такого сознательного непослушания/озорства я никогда не видела). In all my born days I never did (во все мои прожитые: «рожденные» дни я никогда не видела), and that’s a fact (и это есть факт). Off you go (иди вперед)! Straight into bed with you (прямо в кровать с тобой) and not another word (и больше ни слова: «ни /одного/ другого слова»)!” He had never seen her look so terrible (он никогда не видел ее, выглядевшей так ужасно = чтобы она выглядела столь грозно).

But still he didn’t care (но все еще он не обращал внимания).

He went into the Night-nursery and undressed (он пошел в ночную детскую и разделся). No, he didn’t care (нет, он не заботился). He was bad (он был плохим), and if they didn’t look out (и если бы они не следили) he’d be worse (он был бы еще хуже). He didn’t care (он не заботился/ему было все равно). He hated everybody (он ненавидел всех). If they weren’t careful (если бы они не были осторожными; care — забота; уход; внимание, осторожность) he would run away (он убежал бы) and join a circus (и присоединился бы к цирку). There (вот так)! Off went a button (отлетела: «прочь отошла пуговица»). Good (хорошо) — there would be fewer to do (будет меньше /их/ делать = застегивать) up in the morning (утром). And another (и еще одна)! All the better (все к лучшему/тем лучше). Nothing in all the world (ничто в целом мире) could ever make him feel sorry (/не/ сможет когда-либо заставит почувствовать его сожалеющим). He would get into bed without brushing his hair or his teeth (он ляжет в кровать без причесывания своих волос и чистки своих зубов) — certainly without saying his prayers (точно/определенно без проговаривания своих молитв).

He was just about to get into bed (он как раз собирался лечь в кровать) and, indeed, had one foot already in it (и, действительно, имел одну ногу уже в ней), when he noticed the compass (когда он заметил компас) lying on top of the chest of drawers (лежащий на верху комода; chest — ящик; коробка, сундук; drawers — выдвижные ящики).

Very slowly he withdrew his foot (очень медленно он отдернул свою ногу; todraw — тянуть, тащить; towithdraw — оттянуть, оттащить; убрать, отдернуть) and tiptoed across the room (и пошел на цыпочках через комнату; tip — кончик; toe — палец ноги). He knew now (он знал теперь) what he would do (что он будет делать). He would take the compass (он возьмет компас) and spin it (и покрутит его) and go round the world (и отправится вокруг света). And they’d never find him again (и они никогда не найдут его снова). And it would serve them right (и это послужит им уроком: «послужит им/обойдется с ними правильно = должным образом»). Without making a sound he lifted a chair (без произведения звука = беззвучно он поднял стул) and put it against the chest of drawers (и приставил его к комоду). Then he climbed up on it (затем он забрался на него) and took the compass in his hand (и взял компас в свою ладонь).

He moved it (он двинул его).
