So we went on till we came to another hotel (и мы пошли дальше, пока не пришли к еще одной гостинице). That was a very nice hotel, too, and it had honey-suckle on it, round at the side (это тоже была очень славная гостиница, и на ней вилась жимолость, сбоку); but Harris did not like the look of a man who was leaning against the front door (но Гаррису не понравился вид человека, который /стоял/, прислонившись к парадной двери). He said he didn't look a nice man at all (он сказал, что тот вообще не выглядит приятным человеком), and he wore ugly boots: so we went on further (и носит ужасные ботинки — поэтому мы отправились дальше; to wear). We went a goodish way without coming across any more hotels (мы проделали порядочный путь, и нам больше не встретилось ни одной гостиницы; to come across — случайно встретиться, натолкнуться), and then we met a man, and asked him to direct us to a few (а потом мы встретили человека и попросили его указать нам дорогу к каким-нибудь отелям; to direct — направлять; подсказывать; указывать дорогу).

It was the Saturday before the August Bank Holiday. We were tired and hungry, we same three, and when we got to Datchet we took out the hamper, the two bags, and the rugs and coats, and such like things, and started off to look for diggings. We passed a very pretty little hotel, with clematis and creeper over the porch; but there was no honeysuckle about it, and, for some reason or other, I had got my mind fixed on honeysuckle, and I said:

"Oh, don't let's go in there! Let's go on a bit further, and see if there isn't one with honeysuckle over it."

So we went on till we came to another hotel. That was a very nice hotel, too, and it had honey-suckle on it, round at the side; but Harris did not like the look of a man who was leaning against the front door. He said he didn't look a nice man at all, and he wore ugly boots: so we went on further. We went a goodish way without coming across any more hotels, and then we met a man, and asked him to direct us to a few.

He said:

"Why, you are coming away from them (да вы уходите от них). You must turn right round and go back, and then you will come to the Stag (вам нужно повернуться кругом, и тогда вы придете к «Оленю»; stag — олень-самец /достигший пяти лет/)."

We said:

"Oh, we had been there, and didn't like it — no honeysuckle over it (мы там были, и нам не понравилось — нет жимолости)."

"Well, then (ну тогда)," he said, "there's the Manor House, just opposite (есть «Помещичий дом/Особняк» — как раз напротив). Have you tried that (вы заходили туда: «пробовали то»)?"

Harris replied that we did not want to go there (Гаррис ответил, что мы не захотели заходить туда) — didn't like the looks of a man who was stopping there (не понравилась наружность человека, который стоял там) — Harris did not like the colour of his hair, didn't like his boots, either (Гаррису не понравился цвет его волос и его ботинки).

He said:

We said:

"Oh, we had been there, and didn't like it — no honeysuckle over it."

"Well, then," he said, "there's the Manor House, just opposite. Have you tried that?"

Harris replied that we did not want to go there — didn't like the looks of a man who was stopping there — Harris did not like the colour of his hair, didn't like his boots, either.

"Well, I don't know what you'll do, I'm sure (ну, не знаю, что вам делать)," said our informant (сказал наш информант); "because they are the only two inns in the place (потому что они — единственные две гостиницы в этой местности; place — место; город; местность)."

"No other inns (нет других гостиниц)!" exclaimed Harris (воскликнул Гаррис).

"None (никаких)," replied the man.

"What on earth are we to do (что же нам делать)?" cried Harris.

Then George spoke up (тут высказался Джордж; to speak up). He said Harris and I could get an hotel built for us, if we liked (он сказал, мы с Гаррисом можем сказать, чтобы для нас построили /новую/ гостиницу, если хотим; to build), and have some people made to put in (и чтобы наняли персонал; to put in — вставлять, сажать; ставить, назначать на должность). For his part, he was going back to the Stag (что касается его, он возвращается в «Олень»).

"Well, I don't know what you'll do, I'm sure," said our informant; "because they are the only two inns in the place."

"No other inns!" exclaimed Harris.

"None," replied the man.

"What on earth are we to do?" cried Harris.

Then George spoke up. He said Harris and I could get an hotel built for us, if we liked, and have some people made to put in. For his part, he was going back to the Stag.

The greatest minds never realise their ideals in any matter (величайшие умы никогда не воплощают свои идеалы ни в чем); and Harris and I sighed over the hollowness of all earthly desires, and followed George (мы с Гаррисом вздохнули о суетности всех земных желаний и последовали за Джорджем; hollowness — пустота; лживость; суетность, бренность; hollow — полый).

We took our traps into the Stag, and laid them down in the hall (мы внесли наши пожитки в «Олень» и положили их в вестибюле; trap — капкан, ловушка; traps — личные вещи, багаж, пожитки).

The landlord came up and said (хозяин подошел и сказал):

"Good evening, gentlemen (добрый вечер, джентльмены)."

"Oh, good evening," said George; "we want three beds, please (нам нужны три кровати, пожалуйста)."

"Very sorry, sir (очень сожалею, сэр)," said the landlord; "but I'm afraid we can't manage it (но боюсь, мы не можем это устроить)."

"Oh, well, never mind (что ж, это ничего; never mind — ничего, неважно, не беспокойтесь, не беда)," said George, "two will do (пойдет и две). Two of us can sleep in one bed, can't we (двое из нас могут спать в одной кровати, да)?" he continued, turning to Harris and me (продолжал он, поворачиваясь ко мне с Гаррисом).

"Very sorry, sir," said the landlord; "but I'm afraid we can't manage it."

"Oh, well, never mind," said George, "two will do. Two of us can sleep in one bed, can't we?" he continued, turning to Harris and me.

Harris said, "Oh, yes;" he thought George and I could sleep in one bed very easily (он думал, что мы с Джорджем можем легко спать в одной кровати).

"Very sorry, sir," again repeated the landlord (снова повторил хозяин): "but we really haven't got a bed vacant in the whole house (но у нас действительно нет ни одной свободной кровати во всем доме). In fact, we are putting two, and even three gentlemen in one bed, as it is (более того, мы и так уже укладываем по два, даже по три джентльмена в одну кровать; as it is — и так уже, и без того)."

This staggered us for a bit (это немного ошеломило нас; to stagger — шататься; пошатнуть; потрясать, поражать; ошеломлять).

But Harris, who is an old traveller, rose to the occasion (но Гаррис, старый путешественник, оказался на высоте /положения/), and, laughing cheerily, said (и, весело смеясь, сказал):

"Oh, well, we can't help it (ну, ничего не поделаешь). We must rough it (мы должны пойти на неудобство; rough — грубый, жесткий; суровый, лишенный комфорта). You must give us a shake-down in the billiard-room (вы должны устроить нас в бильярдной; to shake down — постилать /на полу — одеяло, солому и др./, устраивать постель)."

Harris said, "Oh, yes;" he thought George and I could sleep in one bed very easily.

"Very sorry, sir," again repeated the landlord: "but we really haven't got a bed vacant in the whole house. In fact, we are putting two, and even three gentlemen in one bed, as it is."

This staggered us for a bit.

But Harris, who is an old traveller, rose to the occasion, and, laughing cheerily, said:

"Oh, well, we can't help it. We must rough it. You must give us a shake-down in the billiard-room."

"Very sorry, sir. Three gentlemen sleeping on the billiard-table already, and two in the coffee-room (трое джентльменов уже спят на бильярдном столе, а двое — в столовой). Can't possibly take you in to-night (не можем никак вас принять сегодня /вечером/; possibly — возможно; как только возможно /для усиления/)."

We picked up our things, and went over to the Manor House (мы взяли наши вещи и пошли в «Помещичий дом»). It was a pretty little place (это было славное местечко). I said I thought I should like it better than the other house (я сказал, думаю, он мне понравится больше, чем тот дом /«Олень»/); and Harris said, "Oh, yes," it would be all right, and we needn't look at the man with the red hair (Гаррис сказал: «О да, все будет прекрасно, и нам не нужно смотреть на человека с рыжими волосами»); besides, the poor fellow couldn't help having red hair (кроме того, бедняга не виноват, что рыжий).

Harris spoke quite kindly and sensibly about it (Гаррис говорил об этом весьма доброжелательно и разумно; to speak).

Harris spoke quite kindly and sensibly about it.

The people at the Manor House did not wait to hear us talk (персонал в «Помещичьем доме» не стал дожидаться, пока мы заговорим; to wait — ждать; обслуживать). The landlady met us on the doorstep with the greeting (хозяйка встретила нас на пороге и поприветствовала /заявлением/) that we were the fourteenth party she had turned away within the last hour and a half (что мы четырнадцатая компания, /которую/ она не пускает за последние полтора часа; to turn away — отворачивать/ся/, не пускать, прогонять). As for our meek suggestions of stables (что касается наших кротких = робких намеков на конюшни), billiard-room, or coal-cellars (бильярдную или подвалы для хранения угля), she laughed them all to scorn (то она высмеяла их; scorn — презрение; насмешка): all these nooks had been snatched up long ago (все эти уголки уже давно расхватали).
