Английский язык с Р. Э. Говардом

The Nemedian stared up with dilated, glazing eyes (немедиец уставился вверх расширенными, стекленеющими глазами; to glaze — остеклять; стекленеть), that somehow held a terrible bewilderment (которые каким-то образом сохранили страшное недоумение; to hold — держать; удерживать, сохранять). His hands clawed at his throat (его руки хватались за горло; to claw — царапать; хватать), his lips slobbered and gurgled (его губы распускали слюни и булькали; to slobber — распускать слюни, слюнявить); then suddenly he stiffened (потом он вдруг застыл), and the astounded Cimmerian knew that he was dead (и изумленный киммериец понял, что тот мертв; to know — знать; понимать). And he felt that Taurus had died without knowing what manner of death had stricken him (и он чувствовал, что Таурус умер, не ведая, какая смерть поразила его; to feel). Conan glared bewilderedly at the cryptic golden door (Конан уставился озадаченно на таинственную золотистую дверь; to bewilder — смущать, ставить в тупик; сбивать с толку, приводить в замешательство). In that empty room, with its glittering jeweled walls (в той пустой комнате со сверкающими стенами в драгоценных камнях), death had come to the prince of thieves as swiftly and mysteriously (смерть пришла к королю воров столь же стремительно и непостижимо) as he had dealt doom to the lions in the gardens below (как он обрек на смерть львов в парке внизу; to deal doom to smb. — обрекать на смерть кого-л.; to deal — распределять; раздавать, выдавать).

Gingerly the barbarian ran his hands over the man's half-naked body, seeking a wound (осторожно варвар пробежал руками по полуобнаженному телу мужчины в поисках раны; to run — бежать; пробегать /глазами; пальцами по клавишам и т. п./). But the only marks of violence were between his shoulders (но единственные следы насилия были между лопаток; mark — знак; след), high up near the base of his bull neck (высоко у основания его бычьей шеи; high up — высоко) — three small wounds (три крошечных ранки), which looked as if three nails had been driven deep in the flesh and withdrawn (которые выглядели так, как будто в плоть вогнали три гвоздя и вытащили их; to drive — гнать; вбивать, вколачивать /столбы, гвозди и т. п./; to withdraw — отодвигать; извлекать, вытаскивать). The edges of these wounds were black (края этих ранок были черными), and a faint smell as putrefaction was evident (и явно /ощущался/ слабый запашок разложения; evident — очевидный). Poisoned darts (отравленные дротики)? thought Conan (подумал Конан) — but in that case the missiles should be still in the wounds (но в этом случае метательные снаряды все еще должны быть в ранках; missile — ракета; метательный снаряд).
