Английский с Эдгаром По. Падение дома Ашеров / Edgar Allan Poe. The Fall of the House of Usher

“And now, the champion, having escaped from the terrible fury of the dragon (и вот герой, избежав ужасной ярости дракона), bethinking himself of the brazen shield, and of the breaking up of the enchantment which was upon it (напомнив себе = вспомнив о медном щите и о снятии заклятия, которое было на нем), removed the carcass from out of the way before him (убрал труп с дороги перед собой), and approached valorously over the silver pavement of the castle to where the shield was upon the wall (и приблизился доблестно по серебряной мостовой замка /туда/, где щит был на стене); which in sooth tarried not for his full coming (который поистине не замедлил появиться: «со своим полным появлением»), but fell down at his feet upon the silver floor, with a mighty great and terrible ringing sound (но упал к его ногам на серебряный пол с очень сильным и ужасным звенящим звуком; mighty – могущественный).”

No sooner had these syllables passed my lips, than (не раньше эти слоги сошли с моих губ, чем = как только я произнес эти слова) – as if a shield of brass had indeed, at the moment, fallen heavily upon a floor of silver (как если бы щит из бронзы действительно в этот момент тяжело упал на пол из серебра) I became aware of a distinct, hollow, metallic, and clangorous, yet apparently muffled reverberation (я услышал: «осознал» явно слышный, глухой, металлический и шумный, но, очевидно, заглушенный отзвук; aware – знающий, сознающий). Completely unnerved, I leaped to my feet (с совершенно расстроенными нервами я вскочил на ноги; to unnerve – нервировать, расстраивать, лишать мужества); but the measured rocking movement of Usher was undisturbed (но размеренное качающееся движение Ашера было /ничем/ не потревожено). I rushed to the chair in which he sat (я кинулся к стулу, на котором он сидел).
