Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Собака Баскервилей (ASCII-IPA)

He is learned in old manorial and communal rights (он /хорошо/ знает старинные поместные и общинные права), and he applies his knowledge (и применяет свои знания) sometimes in favour of the villagers of Fernworthy (иногда в пользу жителей деревушки Фернворси) and sometimes against them (иногда против них), so that he is periodically either carried in triumph down the village street (поэтому его периодически либо с триумфом носят /на руках/ по деревенской улице) or else burned in effigy (либо /прилюдно/ сжигают его чучело), according to his latest exploit (в соответствии с его последним деянием; exploit — деяние, подвиг). He is said to have about seven lawsuits upon his hands at present (говорят, что в настоящее время у него на руках семь тяжб), which will probably swallow up the remainder of his fortune (которые, вероятно, поглотят остатки его состояния) and so draw his sting (и, таким образом, лишат его жала; to draw — тянуть, тащить; выдергивать) and leave him harmless for the future (и сделают: «оставят» его безвредным на будущее). Apart from the law (если не касаться: «отдельно от» юриспруденции; apart — в стороне, в отдельности; law — закон) he seems a kindly, good-natured person (он кажется приятным, добродушным человеком), and I only mention him because (и упомянул я о нем лишь потому) you were particular (что вы настаивали; particular — особенный; скрупулезный) that I should send some description of the people (чтобы я посылал описания /всех/ людей) who surround us (кто нас окружает).
