О дивный новый мир (Brave New World)

"I don't know.	- Не знаю.
How should I know?"	Не понимаю.
It was difficult to hear what she said, because she was lying on her stomach and her face was in the pillow.	- Трудно было разобрать ее слова, она лежала на животе, лицом в подушку.
"They say those men are their men," she went on; and she did not seem to be talking to him at all; she seemed to be talking with some one inside herself.	- Мужчины, видите ли, принадлежат им, -говорила Линда, точно не к нему обращаясь вовсе, а к кому-то внутри себя.
A long talk which she didn't understand; and in the end she started crying louder than ever.	Говорила долго, непонятно; а кончила тем, что заплакала громче прежнего.
"Oh, don't cry, Linda. Don't cry."	- О, не плачь, Линда, не плачь.
He pressed himself against her.	Он прижался к ней.
He put his arm round her neck.	Обнял рукой за шею.
Linda cried out. "Oh, be careful.	- Ай, - взвизгнула Линда, - не тронь.
My shoulder!	Не тронь плечо.
Oh!" and she pushed him away, hard. His head banged against the wall.	Ай! - и как пихнет его от себя, он стукнулся головой о стену.
"Little idiot!" she shouted; and then, suddenly, she began to slap him.	- Ты, идиотик! - крикнула Линда и вдруг принялась его бить.
Slap, slap ...	Шлеп! Шлеп!..
"Linda," he cried out.	- Линда!
"Oh, mother, don't!"	Не бей, мама!
"I'm not your mother.	- Я тебе не мама.
I won't be your mother."	Не хочу быть твоей матерью.
"But, Linda ... Oh!" She slapped him on the cheek.	- Но, Линд... - Она шлепнула его по щеке.
"Turned into a savage," she shouted.	- В дикарку превратилась, - кричала она.
"Having young ones like an animal ... If it hadn't been for you, I might have gone to the Inspector, I might have got away.	- Рожать начала, как животные... Если б не ты, я бы к инспектору пошла, вырвалась отсюда.
But not with a baby.	Но с ребенком как же можно.
That would have been too shameful."	Я бы не вынесла позора.
He saw that she was going to hit him again, and lifted his arm to guard his face.	Она опять замахнулась, и он заслонился рукой.
"Oh, don't, Linda, please don't."	- О, не бей, Линда, не надо.
"Little beast!"	- Дикаренок!
She pulled down his arm; his face was uncovered.	- Она отдернула его руку от лица.
"Don't, Linda."	- Не надо.
He shut his eyes, expecting the blow.	- Он закрыл глаза, ожидая удара.
But she didn't hit him.	Но удара не было.
