Английский XXI века. Дж. Смит. Слишком хорошо, чтобы быть правдой

As the stewardess collected their breakfast trays (когда стюардесса забирала их подносы от завтрака) Fiona glanced out to where Paul had been looking (Фиона взглянула, куда смотрел Пол). Hundreds of little lights gleamed up from Heathrow (сотни маленьких огоньков сверкали в Хитроу) through the dull, rain streaked sky (сквозь мрачное, залитое дождем небо). Of course (конечно)! She knew the answer (она знала ответ; to know). Someone was down there waiting for him (кто-то был там внизу, ждущий его)! At last he had remembered (наконец-то он вспомнил). What a fool she’d made of herself (какую дуру она из себя сделала). For heaven’s sake (ради всего святого), he’d only been trying to cheer her up (он просто пытался ее взбодрить)!

It was over (все было кончено). They were back to reality (они вернулись к реальности) with a bump similar to the one the plane had just made touching down (с толчком, похожим на тот, что только что совершил самолет, коснувшись земли).

No sooner had the 737 stopped (как только /Боинг/ 737 остановился) than Fiona jumped to her feet (Фиона вскочила на ноги), eager to leave before Paul began any awkward farewells (желая уйти прежде, чем Пол начал неловкие прощания; eager – страстно желающий, жаждущий). With a mumbled “bye” (пробормотав «пока») she turned her back (она повернулась спиной) just as he looked up in surprise (как раз когда он поднял глаза с удивлением). She half heard him make some conciliatory remark (она едва расслышала, как он сделал какое-то утешительное замечание) but by then she was stumbling away from him (но к тому времени она уже спотыкаясь удалялась от него) in her haste to be gone (торопясь поскорее уйти).
