Arthur Conan Doyle - Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Первый сборник рассказов (ASCII-IPA)
voice [vOIs], deuce [dju:s]
"At eight in the morning. She will not be up, so that we shall have a clear field. Besides, we must be prompt, for this marriage may mean a complete change in her life and habits. I must wire to the King without delay."
We had reached Baker Street and had stopped at the door. He was searching his pockets for the key, when someone passing said:
"Good-night, Mister Sherlock Holmes."
There were several people on the pavement at the time, but the greeting appeared to come from a slim youth in an ulster who had hurried by.
"I've heard that voice before," said Holmes, staring down the dimly lit street. "Now, I wonder who the deuce that could have been."

I slept at Baker Street that night (я спал на Бэйкер-стрит ту ночь), and we were engaged upon our toast and coffee in the morning (и мы сидели: «были заняты» за кофе с гренками утром) when the King of Bohemia rushed into the room (когда король Богемии ворвался = стремительно вошел в комнату).
"You have really got it (вы действительно достали ее)!" he cried, grasping Sherlock Holmes by either shoulder (хватая Холмса за каждое плечо = обнимая за плечи) and looking eagerly into his face (и нетерпеливо глядя ему в лицо).
"Not yet (нет еще)."
"But you have hopes (но вы надеетесь: «у вас есть надежды»)?"
"I have hopes."

"Not yet."
"But you have hopes?"
"I have hopes."
"Then, come (тогда идемте). I am all impatience to be gone (я сгораю от нетерпения: «весь нетерпение» /пойти/)."
"We must have a cab (мы должны иметь = нам нужна карета)."
"No, my brougham is waiting (нет, мой экипаж ждет /у дверей/)."
"Then that will simplify matters (в таком случае, это упростит делo)." We descended and started off once more for Briony Lodge (мы сошли вниз и отправились снова к Брайони-лодж; to start off — трогаться).
simplify ['sImplIfaI], descended [dI'sendId]
"Irene Adler is married (Ирэн Адлер вышла замуж)," remarked Holmes (заметил Холмс).
"Married! When?"
"Yesterday (вчера)."
"Then, come. I am all impatience to be gone."
"We must have a cab."
"No, my brougham is waiting."
"Then that will simplify matters." We descended and started off once more for Briony Lodge.
"Irene Adler is married," remarked Holmes.
"Married! When?"
"Yesterday."
"But to whom (но за кого)?"
"To an English lawyer named Norton (за английского адвоката по имени Нортон)."
"But she could not love him (но она не может любить его = не любит же его)."
"I am in hopes that she does (я надеюсь: «в надеждах», что она любит)."
"And why in hopes (и почему /вы/ надеетесь)?"
"But to whom?"
"To an English lawyer named Norton."
"But she could not love him."
"I am in hopes that she does."
"And why in hopes?"
"Because it would spare your Majesty all fear of future annoyance (потому что это избавило бы ваше величество от всякого страха будущей неприятности). If the lady loves her husband (если леди любит своего мужа), she does not love your Majesty (она не любит ваше величество). If she does not love your Majesty, there is no reason why she should interfere with your Majesty's plan (нет причин, по которым она должна помешать плану вашего величества)."
spare [ [email protected]], annoyance [@' [email protected]], reason ['ri:zn]
"It is true (это правда = верно). And yet — (и все-таки)! Well (ну)! I wish she had been of my own station (я желаю, чтобы она была моего собственного положения = жаль, что она не одного ранга со мной)! What a queen she would have made (какая это бы была королева: «какую королеву она бы сделала»)!" He relapsed into a moody silence (он погрузился в угрюмое молчание), which was not broken (которое не было нарушено = которого он не прерывал) until we drew up in Serpentine Avenue (пока мы не остановились на Серпентайн-авеню).

"Because it would spare your Majesty all fear of future annoyance. If the lady loves her husband, she does not love your Majesty. If she does not love your Majesty, there is no reason why she should interfere with your Majesty's plan."
"It is true. And yet — ! Well! I wish she had been of my own station! What a queen she would have made!" He relapsed into a moody silence, which was not broken until we drew up in Serpentine Avenue.
The door of Briony Lodge was open (дверь была открыта), and an elderly woman stood upon the steps (и пожилая женщина стояла на ступенях = лестнице). She watched us with a sardonic eye (она посмотрела на нас с какой-то иронией: «с сардоническим глазом») as we stepped from the brougham (когда мы вышли из экипажа).
elderly [' [email protected]], sardonic [sA:'dOnIk], eye [aI]
"Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I believe (мистер Шерлок Холмс, я полагаю)?" said she.
"I am Mr. Holmes," answered my companion (ответил мой товарищ), looking at her with a questioning and rather startled gaze (смотря на нее вопрошающим и довольно удивленным взглядом).
questioning [' [email protected]], startled ['stA:tlId], gaze [geIz]
"Indeed (действительно)! My mistress told me that you were likely to call (моя госпожа сказала мне, что вы, вероятно, зайдете). She left this morning with her husband (она уехала этим утром вместе со своим мужем) by the 5:15 train from Charing Cross for the Continent (поездом в 5:15 с вокзала Чаринг-Кросс на континент)."

"What (что)!" Sherlock Holmes staggered back (Шерлок Холмс отпрянул назад), white with chagrin and surprise (бледный: «белый» от досады и неожиданности). "Do you mean that she has left England (вы имеете в виду, что она покинула Англию)?"
staggered ['st& [email protected]], chagrin ['S&grIn]
"Never to return (навсегда: «никогда чтобы вернуться»)."
"And the papers (а бумаги)?" asked the King hoarsely (спросил король хрипло). "All is lost (все потеряно)."
"We shall see (посмотрим)." He pushed past the servant and rushed into the drawing-room (он протолкнулся мимо служанки и бросился в гостиную), followed by the King and myself (сопровождаемый королем и мной = мы последовали за ним). The furniture was scattered about in every direction (мебель была сдвинута беспорядочно: «в каждом направлении»), with dismantled shelves and open drawers (с разобранными полками и открытыми ящиками), as if the lady had hurriedly ransacked them before her flight (как если бы леди наспех рылась в них перед своим бегством; to ransack — искать, обыскивать, обшаривать; flight — полет, побег). Holmes rushed at the bell-pull (Холмс кинулся к шнурку звонка), tore back a small sliding shutter (отодвинул маленькую выдвижную дощечку; to tear back — сдвигать), and, plunging in his hand (и, засунув внутрь /тайника/ руку), pulled out a photograph and a letter (вытащил фотографию и письмо). The photograph was of Irene Adler herself in evening dress (это была фотография самой Ирэн Адлер в вечернем платье), the letter was superscribed to "Sherlock Holmes, Esq. To be left till called for." (письмо было подписано: «Мистеру Шерлоку Холмсу. Отдать /ему/, когда он придет.»; Esq. = esquire — господин; to call for — запрашивать, требовать). My friend tore it open and we all three read it together (мой друг разорвал это /конверт/, и мы все трое прочитали письмо /вместе). It was dated at midnight of the preceding night (оно было датировано полуночью прошедшей ночи) and ran in this way (и бежало по такому пути = в нем было написано):
