Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море - [12]
The old man went out the door and the boy came after him (старик вышел за дверь, и мальчик последовал за ним). He was sleepy and the old man put his arm across his shoulders and said (он был еще сонным, и старик обнял его за плечи: «положил свою руку поперек его плеч» и сказал), "I am sorry (извини: «сожалею»)."
"Qué va (исп. да ладно/пустяки)," the boy said. "It is what a man must do (это то, что должны делать мужчины = такова наша мужская доля)."
quietly ['kwaIqtlI], clearly ['klIqlI], gently ['GentlI]
The door of the house where the boy lived was unlocked and he opened it and walked in quietly with his bare feet. The boy was asleep on a cot in the first room and the old man could see him clearly with the light that came in from the dying moon. He took hold of one foot gently and held it until the boy woke and turned and looked at him. The old man nodded and the boy took his trousers from the chair by the bed and, sitting on the bed, pulled them on.

They walked down the road to the old man's shack (они пошли вниз по дороге к хижине старика) and all along the road, in the dark, barefoot men were moving (и по всей дороге в темноте двигались босоногие люди/мужчины), carrying the masts of their boats (которые несли: «неся» мачты своих лодок).
When they reached the old man's shack (когда они дошли до хижины старика; to reach — протягивать; достигать) the boy took the rolls of line in the basket (мальчик взял мотки лесы в корзине) and the harpoon (и гарпун) and gaff (и багор) and the old man carried the mast with the furled sail on his shoulder (а старик взвалил мачту с обмотанным вокруг нее парусом на плечи).
"Do you want coffee (хочешь кофе)?" the boy asked.
"We'll put the gear in the boat and then get some (мы отнесем: «положим» вещи в лодку, а потом выпьем кофе).”
They had coffee from condensed milk cans (они выпили кофе из консервных банок от сгущенного молока; to condense — сгущать, уплотнять; condense milk — сгущенное молоко) at an early morning place that served fishermen (в заведении, которое открывалось очень рано и обслуживало рыбаков).

"How did you sleep old man (как ты спал, старик)?" the boy asked. He was waking up now although it was still hard for him to leave his sleep (он уже почти проснулся: «постепенно просыпался», хотя ему все еще трудно было расстаться со сном).
"Very well (очень хорошо), Manolin," the old man said. "I feel confident today (я уверен в себе сегодня = сегодня я верю в удачу)."
"So do I (и я тоже)," the boy said. "Now I must get your sardines and mine and your fresh baits (сейчас я должен принести твои сардины и мои, и твою свежую наживку). He brings our gear himself (он таскает наши снасти сам). He never wants anyone to carry anything (он не любит, когда его вещи носят другие: «он никогда не хочет, чтобы кто-то другой нес что-нибудь»)."
"We're different (мы разные)," the old man said. "I let you carry things when you were five years old (я позволил тебе носить вещи, когда тебе было пять лет)."
"I know it," the boy said. "I'll be right back (я сейчас вернусь). Have another coffee (выпей еще кофе). We have credit here (у нас здесь кредит = нам здесь дают в долг)."
He walked off (он ушел), bare-footed on the coral rocks (босиком по коралловым рифам: «камням»; rock — подводный камень, риф), to the ice house where the baits were stored (к холодильнику, где хранилась наживка).
