Jerome K. Jerome «Three men in a boat» — Ch. XIV (12/12)

Джером К. Джером «Трое в лодке, не считая собаки» — Глава XIV

Oh, how delightful it was to be safe in the boat, after our trials and fears (о, как восхитительно было находиться в безопасности в лодке после наших испытаний и страхов)! We ate a hearty supper, George and I, and we should have had some toddy after it (мы съели обильный ужин, Джордж и я = мы с Джорджем, и выпили бы пуншу после этого), if we could have found the whisky, but we could not (если бы смогли найти виски, но мы не нашли). We examined Harris as to what he had done with it (мы спросили Гарриса, что он с ним сделал; as to — относительно, по поводу); but he did not seem to know what we meant by "whisky," or what we were talking about at all (но он, казалось, не понимал, что мы имеем в виду под /словом/ «виски» и о чем мы вообще говорим). Montmorency looked as if he knew something, but said nothing (Монморенси глядел так, будто знает что-то, но ничего не сказал).

I slept well that night, and should have slept better if it had not been for Harris (я спал хорошо в ту ночь, и спал бы еще лучше, если бы не Гаррис). I have a vague recollection of having been woke up at least a dozen times during the night by Harris wandering about the boat with the lantern, looking for his clothes (у меня есть смутное воспоминание = смутно помню, что был разбужен по крайней дюжину раз мере за ночь Гаррисом, блуждающим по лодке с фонарем и ищущим свою одежду). He seemed to be worrying about his clothes all night (он, по-видимому, беспокоился о своей одежде всю ночь).

Twice he routed up George and myself to see if we were lying on his trousers (дважды он поднимал нас с Джорджем, чтобы посмотреть, не лежим ли мы на его брюках). George got quite wild the second time (Джордж весьма разозлился на второй раз).

"What the thunder do you want your trousers for, in the middle of the night (зачем тебе, черт возьми, твои брюки посреди ночи)?" he asked indignantly (он спросил с негодованием). "Why don't you lie down, and go to sleep (почему ты не ляжешь и не заснешь)?"

I found him in trouble, the next time I awoke, because he could not find his socks (я обнаружил, что он /Гаррис/ в беде, в следующий раз, когда проснулся, потому что он не мог найти свои носки; to awake); and my last hazy remembrance is of being rolled over on my side (мое последнее неясное воспоминание — как меня переворачивают на бок), and of hearing Harris muttering something about its being an extraordinary thing where his umbrella could have got to (и я слышу, как Гаррис бормочет что-то о том, что — удивительное дело! — куда подевался его зонт).
