Arthur Conan Doyle - Английский язык с Шерлоком Холмсом. Второй сборник рассказов (ASCII-IPA)
“Of course (разумеется)! Very right (/вы/ совершенно правы)! very right! I’m sure I beg pardon (прошу прощения). As to my own case, I am ready to give you any information (что касается моего случая, я готов сообщить вам любые сведения) which may assist you in forming an opinion (которые могут помочь вам составить мнение).”

“My last client of the sort was a king.”
“Oh, really! I had no idea. And which king?”
“The King of Scandinavia.”
“What! Had he lost his wife?”
“You can understand,” said Holmes suavely, “that I extend to the affairs of my other clients the same secrecy which I promise to you in yours.”
“Of course! Very right! very right! I’m sure I beg pardon. As to my own case, I am ready to give you any information which may assist you in forming an opinion.”
“Thank you (благодарю вас). I have already learned all that is in the public prints, nothing more (я уже изучил все, что пишут в газетах, /но не знаю/ ничего больше). I presume that I may take it as correct (полагаю, можно считать эти сведения верными) — this article, for example, as to the disappearance of the bride (например, статью об исчезновении невесты).”
Lord St. Simon glanced over it (лорд Сент-Саймон быстро просмотрел ее).
“Yes, it is correct, as far as it goes (да, более-менее верно; as far as it goes — до известной степени, в известной мере).”
“But it needs a great deal of supplementing before anyone could offer an opinion (но потребуется множество дополнительных данных, прежде чем можно будет выразить какое-либо мнение; supplement — дополнение, добавление /к книге, документу и т. п./). I think that I may arrive at my facts most directly by questioning you (думаю, я могу получить сведения быстрее всего, задав вам /несколько/ вопросов; to arrive at — достигнуть, прийти к /чему-либо/; directly — прямо, непосредственно; сразу, тотчас).”
“Pray do so (я к вашим услугам/задавайте).”
“When did you first meet Miss Hatty Doran (когда вы впервые встретили мисс Хэтти Доран)?”
“In San Francisco, a year ago (в Сан-Франциско, год назад).”

“When did you first meet Miss Hatty Doran?”
“In San Francisco, a year ago.”
“You were travelling in the States (вы путешествовали по /Соединенным/ Штатам)?”
“Yes.”
“Did you become engaged then (вы обручились там)?”
“No.”
“But you were on a friendly footing (но вы были в дружеских отношениях; footing — точка опоры, опора; устойчивое положение ног; взаимоотношения)?”
“I was amused by her society (мне было приятно ее общество), and she could see that I was amused (и она это видела).”
“Her father is very rich (ее отец очень богат)?”
“He is said to be the richest man on the Pacific slope (говорят, он самый богатый человек на тихоокеанском побережье; slope — склон, откос).”
“And how did he make his money (а как он разбогател: «сделал деньги»)?”
“In mining (на /золотых/ приисках; mining — горное дело; разработка месторождений; mine — рудник; копь; шахта; прииск). He had nothing a few years ago (несколько лет назад у него не было ничего). Then he struck gold, invested it (потом он открыл месторождение золота, инвестировал капитал в него; to invest — инвестировать, вкладывать денежные средства; помещать капитал; to strike — ударять; открыть, обнаружить, достичь желаемого /внезапно/), and came up by leaps and bounds (и очень быстро пошел в гору; to come up — подниматься, повышаться; вырастать; by leaps and bounds — скачкообразно, очень быстро, стремительно: «прыжками и скачками»).”
“Now, what is your own impression as to the young lady’s (а теперь /скажите/, каково ваше впечатление о молодой леди = опишите мне молодую леди) — your wife’s character (какой характер у вашей жены)?”
The nobleman swung his glasses a little faster (лорд начал немного быстрее раскачивать пенсне; nobleman — дворянин; аристократ; to swing — раскачивать; размахивать; вертеть) and stared down into the fire (и пристально посмотрел = отвел взгляд на огонь).

“You see, Mr. Holmes (видите ли, мистер Холмс),” said he, “my wife was twenty before her father became a rich man (моей жене было двадцать /лет/, прежде чем ее отец стал богачом). During that time she ran free in a mining camp (в то время она свободно бегала по прииску; mining camp — рудник, шахта; рудничный поселок; camp — лагерь) and wandered through woods or mountains (и бродила по лесам и горам), so that her education has come from Nature rather than from the schoolmaster (так что ее воспитанием занималась скорее природа: «происходило от природы», чем школьный учитель; education — образование; воспитание). She is what we call in England a tomboy (это девчонка-сорванец, как мы называем /таких девушек/ в Англии), with a strong nature (сильная натура), wild and free (бурная и свободная), unfettered by any sort of traditions (не стесненная никакими традициями; unfettered — освобожденный /от оков, пут/; неограниченный; нестесненный; fetter — путы /для животных/). She is impetuous — volcanic, I was about to say (она импульсивна — можно сказать, порывиста: «я собирался сказать, порывиста»; volcanic — вулканический; бурный, горячий, пылкий /о темпераменте и т. п./). She is swift in making up her mind (быстро принимает решения: «быстра в принятии решения») and fearless in carrying out her resolutions (и бесстрашно выполняет задуманное; fear — страх; to carry out — выполнять; доводить до конца; resolution — решение; твердое намерение). On the other hand (с другой стороны), I would not have given her the name (я не дал бы ей имени) which I have the honor to bear (которое имею честь носить)” — he gave a little stately cough (тут он с достоинством кашлянул) — ”had not I thought her to be at bottom a noble woman (если бы не был уверен, что по сути это прекрасная, благородная женщина; bottom — дно; основание). I believe that she is capable of heroic self-sacrifice (я верю, что она способна на героическое самопожертвование; sacrifice — жертва, жертвоприношение; to sacrifice — приносить в жертву, жертвовать) and that anything dishonorable would be repugnant to her (и что все бесчестное было бы ей противно).”
