Английский с А. Конан Дойлем. Пиратские истории / A. Conan Doyle. Tales of Pirates

The idea seemed to amuse the Governor (эта мысль, казалось, позабавила губернатора), for he broke suddenly into a high, neighing laugh (ибо он вдруг разразился резким, /похожим на/ ржание, смехом; to break into – внезапно начинать /делать что-л./; high – высокий; резкий, пронзительный /о звуке/; to neigh – ржать), and the two seamen laughed also, but not so heartily (оба моряка засмеялись тоже, но не так искренне; heartily – сердечно, от всего сердца), for they remembered that Sharkey was not the last pirate (поскольку помнили, что Шарки был не последним пиратом) who sailed the western seas (плавающим = промышляющим в западных морях), and that as grotesque a fate might come to be their own (и что такая же нелепая доля может постичь их самих; to come – приходить; происходить, случаться). Another bottle was broached to drink to a pleasant voyage (откупорили еще одну бутылку, чтобы выпить за удачное: «приятное» плавание; to broach – делать прокол, отверстие; открыть /бочонок, бутылку/), and the Governor would drink just one other on the top of it (/потом/ губернатор захотел выпить еще одну; on the top of – поверх /чего-л./), so that the seamen were glad at last to stagger off (так что моряки в конце концов были рады /уйти, изрядно/ пошатываясь) – the one to his watch and the other to his bunk (один – на вахту, а другой – на койку). But when after his four hours’ spell the mate came down again (но когда после четырехчасовой вахты помощник вновь спустился вниз; spell – заклинание, чары; время дежурства /разг./), he was amazed to see the Governor (то с удивлением увидел губернатора) in his Ramillies wig, his glasses, and his powdering-gown (в его парике «рамилье», очках и халате) still seated sedately at the lonely table with his reeking pipe and six black bottles by his side (все еще степенно сидящим за пустым столом с дымящейся трубкой и шестью темными бутылками перед собой: «с его стороны»; lonely – одинокий).
