Examples from The White Monkey (by John Galsworthy): on
the ground floor once more, he had the most intense desire to sing.(p.298)
Когда он опять спустился в нижний этаж, им овладело сильнейшее желание запеть.brain, his heart, ranging for relief, lighted on the strangest relief which could possibly have come to him.(p.292)
Его мозг, его сердце в поисках облегчения вдруг напали на странную мысль.reaching the Poultry, he decided to go to Green Street and see Winifred-queerly and suddenly homesick for the proximity of Park Lane, for the old secure days, the efflorescent privacy of his youth under the wings of James and Emily.(p.288)
Выйдя снова в Полтри, он решил идти на Грин-стрит и повидать Уинфрид - странно и неожиданно он почувствовал тоску по Парк-Лейн, по прежним спокойным дням, по своему замкнутому и благополучному детству под крылышком Джемса и Эмили.a tale of trust deeds executed, leases renewed, houses sold, investments decided on-in that back room up there; what a mint of quiet satisfaction in estates well managed!(p.287)
Сколько было подписано доверенностей, возобновлено договоров, продано домов, распределено вкладов там, в его кабинете; какое удовлетворение он испытывал от правильного управления имуществом!so with the speech which followed. It came from a shareholder on the right, with reddish hair, light eyelashes, a clipped moustache, and a scraped colour.(p.280)
Последовавшая затем речь была совсем иного рода. Произнес ее пайщик справа, рыжеволосый, со светлыми ресницами, подстриженными усами и нечистым цветом лица.
It is all very well, the polished shareholder went on, when any thing of this sort happens, to blame a directorate, but, speaking as a director myself, I should be glad to know whom one is to trust, if not ones manager.(p.279)
Очень легко, - продолжал вылощенный джентльмен, - когда случается такая история, бранить правление, но я сам состою директором и хотел бы знать, кому можно доверять, как не своему директору-распорядителю? should be interested to know how you would have handled such a situation if you had been on the Board. It is extremely easy to condemn other people!(p.279)
Мне любопытно было бы узнать, как бы вы сами стали действовать на месте нашего правления.gentleman on your extreme left-Mr. Forsyte, I think-spoke of an accidental incident.(p.276)
Джентльмен крайний слева, - кажется, мистер Форсайт, - говорил о "случайном инциденте".
Six weeks ago, however, he heard Soames intone, an accidental incident seems to have warned your late manager that Sir Lawrence and I still entertained suspicions, for I received a letter from him practically admitting that he had taken this secret commission on the German business, and asking me to inform the Board that he had gone abroad and left no property behind him.(p.275)
Однако шесть недель назад, - продолжал Сомс, повысив голос, - из случайного инцидента ваш бывший директор-распорядитель, очевидно, понял, что сэр Лоренс и я еще не отказались от наших подозрений, ибо я получил от него письмо, в котором он фактически признает, что брал втайне комиссионные за эти германские страховки, и просит меня уведомить правление, что он уехал за границу, не оставив никакого имущества.saw none, and it was suddenly borne in on him why they wore moustaches: They could not trust their mouths!(p.274)
Но он ничего не увидел и вдруг понял, зачем они носят усы: они не доверяют своим ртам. in front of him was clearly the new manager, on whose left Michael observed his own father.(p.273)
Дальше сидел, очевидно, новый директор-распорядитель, возле которого Майкл увидел своего отца.lay down on the sofa at the foot of the bed, whence, without sound, he could raise himself and see her.(p.269)
Он прилег на диван, недалеко от кровати, откуда он мог бесшумно привстать и смотреть на нее.the night of the Monday following, after Fleur had gone to bed, Michael and Soames sat listening to the mutter of London coming through the windows of the Chinese room opened to the brooding heat.(p.266)
Вечером в следующий понедельник, когда Флер легла спать, Майкл и Сомс сидели в китайской комнате; в открытые окна вливался лондонский шум и томительная жара.that first day of the Eton and Harrow match all the forfeited heat of a chilly summer had gathered and shimmered over Michael, on the top of his Bank bus; shimmered over straw hats, and pale, perspiring faces, over endless other buses, business men, policemen, shopmen at their doors, sellers of newspapers, laces, jumping toys, endless carts and cabs, letterings and wires, all the confusion of the greatest conglomeration in the world-adjusted almost to a hairs-breadth, by an unseen instinct.(p.259)
В этот первый день состязаний Итона с Хэрроу все скрытое тепло прохладного лета вдруг вспыхнуло и сейчас заливало Майкла, ехавшего на империале автобуса; жара заливала соломенные шляпы и бледные, потные лица, бесконечные вереницы автобусов, дельцов, полисменов, лавочников у дверей, прода?/p>
