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

We had a small scene this morning after breakfast (у нас было небольшое происшествие этим утром после завтрака). Barrymore asked leave to speak with Sir Henry (Бэрримор попросил позволения поговорить с сэром Генри), and they were closeted in his study some little time (и они ненадолго заперлись в его кабинете). Sitting in the billiard-room (сидя в бильярдной) I more than once heard the sound of voices raised (я несколько раз слышал, как они повышали голос), and I had a pretty good idea (и я прекрасно понимал; to have an idea — иметь понятие /о чем-либо/) what the point was which was under discussion (какой вопрос обсуждался; to be under discussion — быть на рассмотрении, обсуждаться). After a time the baronet opened his door (через /некоторое/ время баронет открыл дверь) and called for me (и позвал меня).

impulse ['ImpVls], anxiety [&N'zaI@tI], sound [saund]

My first impulse was to tell Sir Henry all my plans. My second and wisest one is to play my own game and speak as little as possible to anyone. He is silent and distrait. His nerves have been strangely shaken by that sound upon the moor. I will say nothing to add to his anxieties, but I will take my own steps to attain my own end.

"Barrymore considers that he has a grievance (Бэрримор считает, что имеет право на нас обижаться: «что он имеет обиду»)," he said. "He thinks that it was unfair on our part (он полагает, что было нечестно с нашей стороны) to hunt his brother-in-law down (преследовать его зятя; to hunt down — выследить; преследовать) when he, of his own free will (тогда как он по своей собственной доброй воле), had told us the secret (раскрыл нам /эту/ тайну)."

The butler was standing, very pale but very collected, before us (дворецкий стоял возле нас очень бледный, но достаточно сдержанный).

"I may have spoken too warmly, sir (возможно я говорил слишком несдержанно; warmly — тепло; горячо, страстно)," said he, "and if I have I am sure that I beg your pardon (и если так, то, разумеется, прошу прощения; I am sure — несомненно, конечно). At the same time (/и/ в то же время), I was very much surprised (я был очень удивлен) when I heard you two gentlemen come back this morning (когда услышал, как вы, два джентльмена, вернулись под утро) and learned that you had been chasing Selden (и узнал, что вы преследовали Сэлдэна). The poor fellow has enough to fight against (бедному парню хватает с чем бороться = у бедняги достаточно врагов) without my putting more upon his track (без того, чтобы я наводил на его след еще больше)."

grievance ['gri:v(@)ns], pardon [pA:dn], fight [faIt]
