pride [praId] discipline [`dIsIplIn] twice [twaIs] behind [bI`haInd]

1. 'I have a son of my own, said he, 'as like you as two blocks, and he's all the pride of my 'art. But the great thing for boys is discipline, sonny — discipline. Now if you had sailed along of Bill, you wouldn't have stood there to be spoke to twice — not you. That was never Bill's way nor the way of such as sailed with him. And here, sure enough is my mate Bill, with a spy-glass under his arm, bless his old 'art to be sure. You and me'll just go back into the parlour, sonny, and get behind the door, and we'll give Bill a little surprise — bless his 'art, I say again.

1. So saying (так говоря = с этими словами), the stranger backed along with me into the parlour (незнакомец вернулся вместе со мной в комнату; to back — пятиться, отступать), and put me behind him in the corner (и поместил меня позади себя = спрятал у себя за спиной в углу), so that we were both hidden by the open door (так, что мы были оба спрятаны = заслонены открытой дверью; to hide). I was very uneasy and alarmed (я был очень обеспокоен и встревожен), as you may fancy (как вы можете себе представить), and it rather added to my fears (это довольно увеличило мои страхи; to add — добавлять, присоединять, увеличивать) to observe that the stranger was certainly frightened himself (видеть, что незнакомец определенно напуган сам). He cleared the hilt of his cutlass (он высвободил рукоятку кортика) and loosened the blade in the sheath (и немного вытащил клинок из ножен; to loosen — ослабить, освободить); and all the time we were waiting there (все время, /которое/ мы ждали там) he kept swallowing as if he felt what we used to call a lump in the throat (он продолжал сглатывать, словно он ощущал /то/, что мы привыкли называть = называем ‘комом в горле’).

2. At last in strode the captain (наконец, вошел капитан), slammed the door behind him (захлопнул дверь за собой), without looking to the right or left (не глядя направо или налево = по сторонам), and marched straight across the room (и прошагал через комнату) to where his breakfast awaited him (/к столу/, где завтрак ожидал его).

2. At last in strode the captain, slammed the door behind him, without looking to the right or left, and marched straight across the room to where his breakfast awaited him.

1. 'Bill, said the stranger, in a voice that I thought he had tried to make bold and big (сказал незнакомец в голосе = /таким/ голосом, что я подумал, он попытался сделать его смелым и важным; bold — смелый, наглый, дерзкий).

2. The captain spun round on his heel and fronted us (капитан повернулся на каблуках и увидел нас; to spin — вращаться, кружиться; to front — находиться перед, стоять напротив); all the brown had gone out of his face (весь коричневый цвет = загар сошел с его лица; to go out of — гаснуть, заканчиваться), and even his nose was blue (и даже его нос был синим); he had the look of a man who sees a ghost (он имел вид человека, который видит привидение), or the evil one (или дьявола; evil — злой), or something worse (или нечто похуже), if anything can be (если что-нибудь = такое может быть); and, upon my word (и, честное слово: «на моем слове»), I felt sorry to see him, all in a moment, turn so old and sick (мне стало жалко видеть его = как он, весь в один миг, сделался столь старым и больным).

3. 'Come, Bill, you know me (ну же, Билл, ты /же/ знаешь меня); you know an old shipmate, Bill, surely (ты знаешь = узнаешь старого корабельного товарища, Билл, наверняка), said the stranger.

4. The captain made a sort of gasp (капитан сделал что-то вроде аханья = открыл рот от изумления; gasp — удушье, затруднение дыхание).
