Ernest Hemingway The Killers (1/10)

Эрнест Хемингуэй "Убийцы" (1/10)

The door of Henry’s lunch-room opened (дверь закусочной Генри отворилась) and two men came in (и двое мужчин вошли /внутрь/; to come in — входить). They sat down at the counter (они сели у стойки; to sit down — садиться).

“What’s yours (что для вас/что будете брать: «что ваше»)?” George asked them (спросил их Джордж).

“I don’t know (я не знаю),” one of the men said (сказал один из мужчин; to say). “What do you want to eat, Al (что ты хочешь съесть, Эл)?”

“I don’t know,” said Al. “I don’t know what I want to eat.”

Outside it was getting dark (на улице темнело: «снаружи становилось темно»).

The street-light came on outside the window (уличный фонарь зажегся за окном; light — свет; to come on — появиться /на сцене/, возникнуть). The two men at the counter read the menu (двое мужчин у стойки читали меню; to read). From the other end of the counter (с другого конца стойки) Nick Adams watched them (Ник Адамс глядел на них). He had been talking to George (он разговаривал с Джорджем) when they came in (когда они вошли).
