Английский язык с Робинзоном Крузо (в пересказе для детей) (ASCII-IPA)

I swam round the ship twice (я проплыл вокруг корабля дважды). How could I ever climb up her smooth sides (как я смогу когда-нибудь = как же мне взобраться по гладким сторонам/бокам)?

I was about to give up (я готов был сдаться), when I saw a small piece of rope (когда увидел небольшой кусок веревки) hanging down from the deck (свисающей с палубы). It reached almost to the water (он почти достигал = доставал до воды). How strange that I did not see it at first (как странно, что я не увидел его сначала)!

I seized hold of the rope (я ухватился: «схватил ухват» за веревку; to seize — хватать, схватывать; hold — схватывание, захват; сжатие; удержание), and climbed hand over hand to the deck (и проворно взобрался на палубу; hand over hand — быстро, проворно: «руку поверх руки»).

I went into the ship's cabin (я вошел в корабельную каюту). I looked all through the unlucky vessel (я осмотрел все несчастное судно; through — через; насквозь; от начала до конца).

I VISIT THE WRECK

WHEN I awoke it was broad daylight. The sun was up. The sky was clear. The air seemed soft and mild. A fine day was beginning. It did not take me long to come down from my lodging place.

I looked out toward the sea.

To my great wonder, I saw that the ship was now much closer to the shore. The high tide had lifted her off the sand. It had carried her toward the land and left her on a huge rock less than a mile away.

I could see that the good ship stood upright and was firmly wedged into the rock.

The waves had not broken her up, but her masts had been snapped off, and all her rigging was gone.

The sea was quite smooth, and the tide was still going out. Soon the beach was bare, and I could walk a long way out.

I was now within a quarter of a mile of the ship.

As I looked at her, a sad thought came to my mind. For if we had all kept on board when she stuck in the sand, we would now have been safe.

But there was no use in thinking of what might have been.

I waded out as far as I could, and then swam for the ship.

As I came near her, I saw that she was lying high out of the water. The part of the rock that was uncovered rose steep and straight into the air. There was no place for me to set my feet.

I swam round the ship twice. How could I ever climb up her smooth sides?

I was about to give up, when I saw a small piece of rope hanging down from the deck. It reached almost to the water. How strange that I did not see it at first!

I seized hold of the rope, and climbed hand over hand to the deck.

I MAKE ME A RAFT

(я делаю себе плот)

THERE was a great deal of water in the ship's hold (было много воды внутри корабля; deal — некоторое количество; great deal of — много; hold — то, что вмещает и удерживает; гнездо, паз; крепежная деталь; вместилище, хранилище; to hold — держать). But the cabin and the storerooms were dry (но каюта и кладовые были сухими; store — запас, резерв; to store — хранить, сохранять).

The boxes of food had not been touched by the water (короба с едой не были затронуты водой).

I was very hungry (я был очень голоден), but I had no time to lose (но не имел времени терять = не мог терять время). So I filled my pockets with dry biscuits (так что я наполнил карманы сухим печеньем) and ate them as I went about (и ел их, пока ходил /по кораблю/; about — кругом; повсюду; взад-вперед).
