Английский язык с Робин Гудом

Robin Hood said, «The Abbot of St. Mary has paid it for you (настоятель /аббатства/ Святой Марии заплатил их за тебя). I won't take it from you as well as from him (я не возьму их с тебя, после того как я взял их с него: «так же как и с него»). That wouldn't be fair (это будет нечестно; fair — порядочный, честный, справедливый). Take back your money, and help poor people with it (забери свои деньги и помоги ими бедным людям).» He told Sir Richard about the monk, and the knight laughed (он рассказал сэру Ричарду о монахе, и рыцарь рассмеялся).

«I know a lot of poor people, sick yeomen and women and children — who need money (я знаю много бедных людей — больных крестьян, женщин и детей — которые нуждаются в деньгах),» he said.

«Help them (помоги им),» said Robin, «and if you want more money for them, tell me (и если тебе понадобится больше денег для них, скажи мне). We can always get more from rich lords and rich churchmen (мы всегда можем достать еще у богатых феодалов и богатых церковников). — But, tell me, what are those bows and all those arrows for (но, скажи мне, для чего все эти луки и стрелы)?»

«I know a lot of poor people, sick yeomen and women and children — who need money,» he said.

«Help them,» said Robin, «and if you want more money for them, tell me. We can always get more from rich lords and rich churchmen. — But, tell me, what are those bows and all those arrows for?»

«They are a present for you and your merry men (это подарок тебе и твоим славным товарищам). My wife and her ladies made the arrows, so they will be good (моя жена и ее служанки сделали стрелы, поэтому они будут бить в цель: «будут хорошими»).»

«Thank you,» said Robin. «And if ever you need help (и если тебе когда-нибудь понадобится помощь), sound your horn three times, like this (проиграй в свой рожок три раза, вот так).» Robin Hood sounded his own horn three times (Робин Гуд продудел в свой собственный рожок три раза), and a hundred men in Lincoln green came running through the forest (и сотня людей в ярко-зеленых костюмах выбежала из леса: «прибежала сквозь лес»).

ROBIN HOOD AND MARIAN

(Робин Гуд и Мэриан)

Some say that Robin Hood was the son of the Earl of Huntingdon (некоторые говорят, что Робин Гуд был сыном графа Хантингдона). As a boy, Robin lived in his father's castle (когда он был маленьким: «мальчиком», Робин жил в замке своего отца) until his father was killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham (до тех пор, пока его отца не убил шериф Ноттингемский: «пока его отец не был убит шерифом»).

Some say that Robin Hood was the son of the Earl of Huntingdon. As a boy, Robin lived in his father's castle until his father was killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Not very far away from the Earl of Huntingdon's castle, Lord Fitzwater had a castle (неподалеку: «не очень далеко» от замка Графа Хантингдона находился замок Лорда Фитцуотера: «Лорд Фитцуотер владел одним замком»). Between the two castles there was a forest (между двумя замками /лежал/ лес). The Earl of Huntingdon's son, Robin, and Lord Fitzwater's daughter, Marian, often met in the forest (сын графа Хантингдона, Робин, и дочь Лорда Фитцуотера, Мэриан, часто встречались в этом лесу).

Not very far away from the Earl of Huntingdon's castle, Lord Fitzwater had a castle. Between the two castles there was a forest. The Earl of Huntingdon's son, Robin, and Lord Fitzwater's daughter, Marian, often met in the forest.

The boy and the girl became friends (мальчик и девочка стали друзьями). Marian was a pretty girl, but she was also strong (Мэриан была прелестной девушкой, но, к тому же, она была сильной). She could use a bow nearly as well as Robin (она могла стрелять из лука: «пользоваться луком» почти столь же хорошо, как и Робин), and he had taught her to use a quarterstaff (и он научил ее, как пользоваться дубинкой; to teach — обучать).
