Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Снега Килиманджаро - [6]

"I don't mean that."

"If you hadn't left your own people, your goddamned Old Westbury, Saratoga, Palm Beach people to take me on —"

"Why, I loved you. That's not fair. I love you now. I'll always love you. Don't you love me?"

"No," said the man. "I don't think so. I never have."

"Harry, what are you saying? You're out of your head."

"No. I haven't any head to go out of."

"Don't drink that," she said. "Darling, please don't drink that. We have to do everything we can."

"You do it," he said. "I'm tired."

Now in his mind he saw a railway station at Karagatch (cейчас он видел перед собой: «в своих мыслях» вокзал в Карагаче[2]; mind — разум; мышление; память; railway — железная дорога) and he was standing with his pack (и стоял с вещевым мешком /за плечами/) and that was the headlight of the Simplon-Orient cutting the dark now (а вот и прожектор экспресса Симплон- Ориент, рассекающий темноту) and he was leaving Thrace then after the retreat (а он /сам/ уезжал тогда из Фракии после отступления). That was one of the things he had saved to write (это было одно из тех воспоминаний: «одна из тех вещей», которые он откладывал впрок: «припасал», чтобы написать /о них позже/), with, in the morning at breakfast, looking out the window and seeing snow on the mountains in Bulgaria (вместе с тем, как утром, за завтраком, /они/ смотрели из окна и видели снег на горах в Болгарии) and Nansen's[3] Secretary asking the old man (и секретарша Нансена = Нансеновской миссии спросила старика; old man — старик; начальник, шеф; "старик" /о капитане корабля, командире, главе семьи и т. д./) if it were snow (неужели это снег) and the old man looking at it and saying (и старик посмотрел на него = туда и сказал), No, that's not snow (нет, это не снег). It's too early for snow (для снега слишком рано). And the Secretary repeating to the other girls (и секретарша повторила, /обращаясь к/ другим девушкам), No, you see (оказывается: «понимаете», нет). It's not snow and them all saying (это не снег, и они все сказали = повторили), It's not snow we were mistaken (это не снег, мы ошиблись). But it was the snow all right (но это был снег, самый настоящий /снег/) and he sent them on into it (и он = шеф отправил их = людей туда, в горы: «в него = снег»; to send on) when he evolved exchange of populations (когда стал развертывать обмен населения). And it was snow they tramped along in (и они пробирались по снегу: «это было /именно/ снегом, по чему они с трудом пробирались»; to tramp /along/ — идти тяжелой поступью; совершать долгое и утомительное путешествие пешком) until they died that winter (пока они не погибли /все до одного/ в ту зиму).

It was snow too that fell all Christmas week that year up in the Gauertal (и в Гауэртале[4] в тот год всю рождественскую неделю тоже шел снег; to fall — падать) that year they lived in the woodcutter's house with the big square porcelain stove (в тот год, когда они жили в домике дровосека с большой квадратной изразцовой печью; porcelain — фарфор) that filled half the room (которая занимала полкомнаты; to fill — наполнять, заполнять), and they slept on mattresses filled with beech leaves (и они спали на тюфяках, набитых буковыми листьями), the time the deserter came with his feet bloody in the snow (когда пришел дезертир, оставив за собой кровавые следы на снегу «со ступнями = следами ног, кровавыми на снегу»). He said the police were right behind him (он сказал, что за ним гонится полиция: «полиция непосредственно позади него») and they gave him woolen socks (и они дали ему шерстяные носки) and held the gendarmes talking (и отвлекли жандармов разговорами; to hold — держать; задерживать) until the tracks had drifted over (пока следы не замело; to drift — нестись /по ветру/; заносить /следы и т.п., о снеге, песке/; покрываться /снегом/).
