cursing [`kq: sIN] swab [swOb] heaving [`hJvIN] earthquakes [`q: TkweIks] shore [SL]

1. But he broke in cursing the doctor, in a feeble voice, but heartily.

2. 'Doctors is all swabs, he said; 'and that doctor there, why, what do he know about seafaring men? I been in places hot as pitch, and mates dropping round with Yellow Jack, and the blessed land a-heaving like the sea with earthquakes — what do the doctor know of lands like that? — and I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me; and if I'm not to have my rum now I'm a poor old hulk on a lee shore, my blood'll be on you, Jim, and that Doctor swab…

3. And he ran on again for a while with curses.

1. 'Look, Jim, how my fingers fidgets (посмотри, Джим, как мои пальцы дрожат; to fidget — нервничать, ерзать, вертеться), he continued, in the pleading tone (он продолжил, жалобным тоном; pleading — умоляющий, просящий). 'I can't keep 'em still, not I (я не могу их успокоить; to keep still — не шевелиться; still — тихий, неподвижный, безмолвный; 'em = them). I haven't had a drop this blessed day (у меня не было ни капли /во рту/ сегодня: «этим благословенным днем»). That doctor's a fool, I tell you (этот доктор — дурак, ей-богу: «говорю тебе»). If I don't have a drain o' rum, Jim (если я не выпью рому, Джим; drain — расход, утечка; порция; o' rum = of rum), I'Il have the horrors (мне будут мерещиться ужасы; horrors — припадок белой горячки); I seen some on 'em already (я видел кое-какие уже). I seen old Flint in the corner there, behind you (я видел старого Флинта там, в углу, позади тебя); as plain as print, I seen him (/он был/ словно живой, я видел его; plain — ясный, очевидный; print — оттиск, след, копия); and if I get the horrors (а когда я вижу ужасы), I'm a man that has lived rough (я /становлюсь/ человеком грубым: «который жил грубо = много претерпел, огрубел»; rough — грубый, жесткий, дикий), and I'll raise Cain (и начинаю буянить; to raise Cain — «поднять Каина» — поднять шум, устроить скандал). Your doctor himself said one glass wouldn't hurt me (твой доктор сам сказал, /что/ один стакан не повредит мне). I'll give you a golden guinea for a noggin, Jim (я дам тебе золотую гинею за кружечку, Джим).

2. He was growing more and more excited (он становился все больше и больше взволнованным; to grow — расти, усиливаться, становиться), and this alarmed me for my father (это встревожило меня = я испугался за отца), who was very low that day (который чувствовал себя очень плохо в тот день), and needed quiet (и нуждался в покое); besides, I was reassured by the doctor (кроме того, я был успокоен /словами/ доктора = слова доктора внушили мне уверенность/смелость; to reassure — уверять, убеждать; успокаивать; утешать; sure — уверенный), and rather offended by the offer of a bribe’s words (и весьма обижен предложением взятки; bribe — взятка, подкуп; words — слова, речь, обещания), now quoted to me (сделанным мне; to quote — сделать предложение, назначить цену).

2. He was growing more and more excited, and this alarmed me for my father, who was very low that day, and needed quiet; besides, I was reassured by the doctor, and rather offended by the offer of a bribe’s words, now quoted to me.

1. 'I want none of your money (мне не нужны ваши деньги), said I, 'but what you owe my father (кроме /того/, что вы задолжали моему отцу; to owe — быть обязанным, задолжать). I'll get you one glass, and no more (я принесу вам один стакан, и не более; to get — доставать, приносить, получить).

2. When I brought it to him (когда я принес стакан ему), he seized it greedily, and drank it out (он схватил его жадно и выпил до дна).

3. 'Ay, ay (есть = хорошо; ay — да), said he, 'that's some better, sure enough (/мне сразу/ стало лучше, без сомнения). And now, matey, did that doctor say (а теперь, /послушай/, дружок, доктор сказал) how long I was to lie here in this old berth (сколько: «как долго» я должен лежать здесь, на этой старой койке)?

4. 'A week at least (неделю, по крайней мере), said I.
