"We had better leave some of our servants with them
(мы лучше оставим несколько наших слуг с ними) to take them to the next town (/чтобы они/ доставили их в ближайший город; nextRebecca, however, went to Rowena and said
(Ревекка, однако, подошла к Ровене и сказала), "This is not for myself (это не для меня = я прошу не за себя) but for the sake of someone very dear to many (но ради кого-то =better ['betǝ], leave [li:v], dear [dɪǝ], least [li:st]
"We had better leave some of our servants with them to take them to the next town," Cedric said, and Athelstane agreed.
Rebecca, however, went to Rowena and said, "This is not for myself but for the sake of someone very dear to many, and dear to even you. Please, at least take the sick person in the litter with you."
"The man is old and weak
(этот человек стар и слаб)," Rowena said to Cedric, "the woman is young and beautiful (эта женщина молода и красива), and their friend is apparently very sick (и их друг, по-видимому, очень болен). We cannot leave them here (мы не можем оставить их здесь)."Cedric agreed to let them travel with them
(Седрик согласился позволить им ехать вместе с ними), but Athelstane added (а Ательстан добавил), "They can only come (они могут ехать /с нами/ только /в том случае/;friend [frend], apparently [ǝ'pærəntlɪ], protect [prǝ'tekt]
"The man is old and weak," Rowena said to Cedric, "the woman is young and beautiful, and their friend is apparently very sick. We cannot leave them here."
Cedric agreed to let them travel with them, but Athelstane added, "They can only come if they travel right at the back of the group, where Wamba can protect them with his wooden sword."
"I lost my weapon in the lists
(я потерял свое оружие на ристалище) like so many other knights (так же, как и большинство: «так много» других рыцарей)," said Wamba, and Athelstane blushed (сказал Вамба, а Ательстан покраснел) because this had happened to him (оттого, что это случилось и с ним).Slowly, the group continued together
(медленно группа продолжила =weapon ['wepən], continue [kən'tɪnju:], heard [hǝ:d]
"I lost my weapon in the lists like so many other knights," said Wamba, and Athelstane blushed because this had happened to him.
Slowly, the group continued together along the road in the dark, when they suddenly heard war-cries from every side.
