Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Второй сборник рассказов (ASCII-IPA)

“From the moment, Mr. Soames (с той минуты, мистер Сомс), that you said to me that no one, not even Bannister (когда вы сказали мне, что никто, даже Бэннистер), could have told that the papers were in your room (не мог знать, что гранки находятся в вашей комнате), the case began to take a definite shape in my mind (дело начало принимать ясную форму в моем уме = начало проясняться для меня). The printer one could, of course, dismiss (типографа, конечно, можно не принимать во внимание; to dismiss — распускать, увольнять; отвергать, выбрасывать из головы). He could examine the papers in his own office (он мог рассмотреть гранки в своей конторе). The Indian I also thought nothing of (индийца я тоже исключил; to think nothing of — быть дурного мнения; не придавать значения; считать пустяком). If the proofs were in a roll (если гранки были свернуты), he could not possibly know what they were (он не мог знать, что это такое). On the other hand (с другой стороны), it seemed an unthinkable coincidence (казалось невероятным совпадением) that a man should dare to enter the room (что какой-то человек решил войти в комнату), and that by chance on that very day (случайно в тот самый день) the papers were on the table (/когда/ на столе лежат экзаменационные материалы). I dismissed that (я отбросил такое /совпадение/ = решил, что это вовсе не совпадение). The man who entered knew that the papers were there (тот, кто вошел, знал, что эти материалы там). How did he know (откуда он /это/ знал)?

“When I approached your room, I examined the window (когда я подошел к вашей комнате, я осмотрел окно). You amused me by supposing (вы позабавили меня предположением/предположив; to suppose — допускать, думать, полагать, предполагать) that I was contemplating the possibility of someone having in broad daylight (будто я обдумываю возможность того, что кто-то при свете дня), under the eyes of all these opposite rooms (перед глазами у всех, /кто живет/ в этих комнатах напротив), forced himself through it (влез через это окно; to force through — прорываться, проталкивать). Such an idea was absurd (подобная мысль была абсурдной).
