"This is the Klopman diamond," she said. "It is beautiful, but there is a terrible curse that goes with it."

Bernie is a very wealthy (богатый) man indeed (в самом деле).

One day in June (однажды в июне), he goes on holiday (он отправляется в отпуск, отдохнуть) with his latest (со своей последней), much younger girlfriend (намного моложе /его/ подружкой), Sarah. As the days in the sun wore on (по мере того, как дни на солнце уходили /to wear-wore-worn — носить /одежду/; медленно тянуться /о времени/), Bernie and Sarah began to talk about the differences in their ages and interests between them (начали говорить о разнице в их возрасте и интересах /между ними/ /to begin-began-begun/).

Bernie asked, "If I lost everything (если бы я потерял все /to lose-lost-lost/), all my money, my mansion (мой особняк), my Rolls Royce, tomorrow, would you still love me (ты бы по-прежнему любила меня), Sarah?"

"Yes, darling," said Sarah, "and I’d miss you too (и скучала бы по тебе тоже; to miss — промахнуться; упустить; чувствовать нехватку кого-либо или чего-либо, скучать)."

Moishe had been single (был холост) for a long time (долгое время). One day, he excitedly tells his mother (он возбужденно сообщает своей матери) that he's fallen in love at last (что он влюбился наконец) and he is going to get married (и собирается жениться). She is obviously overjoyed (она очевидно переполнена радостью; joy — радость).

Moishe then tells his mother, "Just for fun (просто, только ради шутки), Mum, I'm going to bring over 3 women (я приведу сюда трех женщин) and you try and guess (постарайся угадать) which one I'm going to marry (на которой я собираюсь жениться)."

His mother agrees (соглашается).

The next day (на следующий день), Moishe brings 3 beautiful women into the house (приводит в дом трех красивых женщин) and sits them down on the couch (и усаживает их на диван) and they all chat for a while (и все они болтают какое-то время; a while — промежуток времени). Then Moishe turns (поворачивается) to his mother and says, "Okay, Mum. Guess which one I'm going to marry?"

She immediately (сразу) replies, "The redhead in the middle (рыжая в середине)."

"That's amazing (удивительно) Mum. You're right (ты права = угадала»). How did you know? (как ты узнала)"

"I don't like her (она мне не нравится)."

That's amazing!

Benjamin rushes (бросается) to his doctor.

"Doctor, you’ve got to give me something (вы должны дать мне что-нибудь) to make me young again (чтобы сделать меня снова молодым). I’ve got a date (у меня свидание) with this beautiful young girl tonight (с этой красивой молодой девушкой сегодня вечером)."
