пришлют черную метку мне; won't = will not; unless — пока не, если не), or

unless you see that Black Dog again (ил пока не увидишь Черного Пса снова),

or a seafaring man with one leg, Jim (или моряка с одной ногой, Джим) — him

above all (его /опасайся/ больше всего).'

1. 'Black Dog?' I asked.

2. 'Ah! Black Dog,' says he. 'He's a bad 'un; but there's worse that put him on.

Now, if I can't get away nohow, and they tip me the black spot, mind you, it's

my old sea-chest they're after; you get on a horse — you can, can't you? Well,

there you get on a horse, and go to — well, yes, I will! — to this eternal doctor

swab, and tell him to pipe all hands magistrates and such — and he'll lay 'em

aboard at the "Admiral Benbow" — all old Flint's crew, man and boy, all on

'em that's left. I was first mate, I was, old Flint's first mate and I'm the on'y

one as knows the place. He gave it me at Savannah, when he lay a-dying, like

as if I was to now, you see. But you won't peach unless they get the black spot

on me, or unless you see that Black Dog again, or a seafaring man with one

leg, Jim — him above all.'

1. 'But what is the black spot, Captain (но что такое черная метка, капитан)?' I

asked.

2. 'That's a summons, mate (это вызов /повестка/, приятель). I'll tell you if they

get that (я скажу тебе, если они пришлют ее). But you keep your weather-eye

open, Jim (но ты гляди в оба, Джим; weather-eye — бдительность,

настороженность; weather — погода,пора; eye —глаз), and I'll share with

you equals, upon my honour (и я разделю с тобой /все/ пополам, честное слово;

to share with — делитьсяс; equal — равный, одинаковый; ровня; honour —

честь, благородство).'

3. He wandered a little longer (он бредил немного /больше/ = стал

заговариваться; to wander — бродить, блуждать; бредить), his voice growing

weaker (его голос становился слабее); but soon after I had given him his

medicine (но вскоре после того, как я дал ему лекарство), which he took like a

child, with the remark (которое он принял, как ребенок, с замечанием = он

заметил):

4. 'If ever a seaman wanted drugs, it's me (если когда-либо моряк нуждался в

лекарствах, /так/ это я).'

1. He fell at last into a heavy, swoon-like sleep (он впал, наконец, в тяжелый,

подобный обмороку сон), in which I left him (в котором я оставил его).

2. What I should have done had all gone well I do not know (что бы я сделал,

случись все хорошо, я не знаю). Probably I should have told the whole story to

the doctor (возможно, мне следовало бы рассказать всю историю доктору); for

I was in mortal fear (так как я был в смертельном страхе) lest the captain should

repent of his confessions and make an end of me (что капитан мог раскаяться в

своем признании и прикончить меня; lest — что, как бы не). But as things fell
