Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Знак четырех (ASCII-IPA)

I stooped to the hole, and recoiled in horror. Moonlight was streaming into the room, and it was bright with a vague and shifty radiance. Looking straight at me, and suspended, as it were, in the air, for all beneath was in shadow, there hung a face, — the very face of our companion Thaddeus. There was the same high, shining head, the same circular bristle of red hair, the same bloodless countenance. The features were set, however, in a horrible smile, a fixed and unnatural grin, which in that still and moonlit room was more jarring to the nerves than any scowl or contortion. So like was the face to that of our little friend that I looked round at him to make sure that he was indeed with us. Then I recalled to mind that he had mentioned to us that his brother and he were twins.

"This is terrible!" I said to Holmes (это ужасно! — сказал я Холмсу). "What is to be done (что мы будем делать: «что должно быть сделано»)?"

"The door must come down," he answered (надо выбить дверь, — ответил он; to come down — уменьшаться, снижаться; быть поваленным), and, springing against it, he put all his weight upon the lock (и, бросившись на нее, он налег на замок: «он приложил весь свой вес к замку»; to spring — прыгать, бросаться). It creaked and groaned, but did not yield (дверь скрипела и стонала, но не поддавалась; to yield — приносить урожай; подаваться, поддаваться). Together we flung ourselves upon it once more (вместе мы опять обрушились на нее; to fling — бросаться, кидаться), and this time it gave way with a sudden snap (на этот раз она поддалась с внезапным треском; to give way — отступать; сдаваться; snap — треск), and we found ourselves within Bartholomew Sholto's chamber (и мы оказались в комнате Бартоломью Шолто; to find — находить; оказываться).
