"I don't say we rewrote the play (я не говорю, что мы переписали пьесу)," said
Michael, "but I can tell you (но я скажу вам: «могу сказать») it was a very
different play we produced (пьеса, которую мы поставили, значительно
отличалась: «это была совсем другая пьеса, которую мы поставили») from the
one the author submitted to us (от той, которую предложил нам автор: «от той,
которую автор прислал нам»)."
"You're simply wonderful in it (вы просто великолепны в ней /пьесе/)," the
young man said (сказал молодой человек).
("He has a certain charm (у него есть определенный шарм).") "I'm glad you liked
 
me (я рада, что вам понравилось: «что вам понравилась я»)," she answered
(ответила она).
"If you're very nice to Julia (если вы будете любезны с Джулией) I dare say
(должен сказать) she'll give you a photograph of herself (она подарит вам свою
фотографию) when you go (когда вы будете уходить)."
"Would you (вы /в самом деле/ дадите)?"

"I don't say we rewrote the play," said Michael, "but I can tell you it was a
very different play we produced from the one the author submitted to us."
"You're simply wonderful in it," the young man said.
("He has a certain charm.") "I'm glad you liked me," she answered.
"If you're very nice to Julia I dare say she'll give you a photograph of herself
when you go."
"Would you?"
He blushed again (он снова покраснел) and his blue eyes shone (и его голубые
глаза засияли). ("He's really rather sweet (он на самом деле очень мил).") He
was not particularly good-looking (он не был особо привлекательным), but he
had a frank, open face (но у него было честное, открытое лицо; frank —
откровенный, искренний) and his shyness was attractive (и его застенчивость
привлекала: «была привлекательной»). He had curly light brown hair (у него
были вьющиеся светлые шатеновые волосы; brown — коричневый), but it was
plastered down (но они были напомажены и приглажены; to plaster down one's
hair — напомадить и пригладить волосы, to plaster — замазывать, мазать)
and Julia thought how much better he would look (и Джулия думала, насколько
лучше он будет выглядеть) if, instead of trying to smooth out the wave with
brilliantine (если бы, вместо того, чтобы пытаться пригладить волнистые
волосы: «волну» с помощью бриллиантина), he made the most of it (он бы
представил их в максимально выигрышном свете: «сделал бы наибольшее из
этого»). He had a fresh colour (у него был свежий цвет лица; fresh — свежий,
натуральный, новый), a good skin (хорошая кожа) and small well-shaped teeth
(и небольшие зубы хорошей формы; shape — форма, очертание, облик). She
noticed with approval (она с одобрением отметила) that his clothes fitted (что
его одежда была подогнана по фигуре) and that he wore them well (и он
хорошо ее носил; to wear — носить /об одежде/). He looked nice and clean (он
выглядел приятным и чистеньким /молодым человеком/).
