1 When the door closed Don Corleone gave a small sigh of relief (вздох облегчения).
Brasi was the only man in the world who could make him nervous. The man was like a
natural force (словно некая природная = неконтролируемая человеком сила), not
truly subject to control (в общем-то неподчиненная, неподлежащая контролю). He
had to be handled as gingerly as dynamite (с ним следовало обращаться так же
осторожно, предусмотрительно, как с динамитом [‘dGındG∂lı] [‘daın∂maıt]). The Don
shrugged. Even dynamite could be exploded harmlessly (может быть взорван
безопасно) if the need arose (если бы возникла необходимость). He looked
questioningly at Hagen. "Is Bonasera the only one left?"
2 Hagen nodded. Don Corleone frowned in thought, then said, "Before you bring him
in, tell Santino to come here. He should learn some things."

3 Out in the garden, Hagen searched anxiously (с беспокойством, озабоченно;
anxious [‘жŋk∫∂s]) for Sonny Corleone. He told the waiting Bonasera to be patient
(потерпеть; patient [‘peı∫∂nt] – терпеливый) and went over (подошел) to Michael
Corleone and his girl friend. "Did you see Sonny around (здесь где-нибудь)?" he asked.
Michael shook his head. Damn (проклятье; to damn – проклинать), Hagen thought, if
Sonny was screwing the maid of honor all this time (трахал; to screw [skru:] –
завинчивать) there was going to be a mess of trouble (будут большие неприятности;
mess – беспорядок, путаница; неприятность). His wife, the young girl's family; it could
be a disaster (бедствие, катастрофа [dı'zα:st∂]). Anxiously he hurried to the entrance
(поспешил к входу) through which (через который) he had seen Sonny disappear
almost a half hour ago.
4 Seeing Hagen go into the house, Kay Adams asked Michael Corleone, "Who is he?
You introduced him as your brother but his name is different (отличающаяся, иная)
and he certainly doesn't look Italian."
5 "Tom lived with us since he was twelve years old," Michael said. "His parents died
and he was roaming around the streets (бродил, скитался) with this bad eye infection
(с заражением глаза, с сильно зараженным глазом). Sonny brought him home one
night and he just stayed (просто остался /жить с нами/). He didn't have any place to
go. He lived with us until he got married."
6 Kay Adams was thrilled (взволнована, заинтригована; to thrill – вызывать трепет,
сильно волновать). "That's really romantic," she said. "Your father must be a
warmhearted person. To adopt (усыновить) somebody just like that when he had so
many children of his own."
7 Michael didn't bother to point out (не стал указывать на то, не стал тратить силы
на разъяснение того; to bother [‘boр∂] – беспокоиться, волноваться) that immigrant
Italians considered (считали, рассматривали) four children a small family. He merely
said (только лишь сказал), "Tom wasn't adopted. He just lived with us."
8 "Oh," Kay said, then asked curiously, "why didn't you adopt him?"
9 Michael laughed. "Because my father said it would be disrespectful (непочтительно)
for Tom to change his name. Disrespectful to his own parents."
10 They saw Hagen shoo Sonny through the French door into the Don's office (to shoo
– выгонять, выпроваживать; shoo – кыш; to shoo – вспугивать, прогонять /птиц/)
and then crook a finger (скрючил, согнул палец = поманил пальцем; crook – крюк) at
Amerigo Bonasera. "Why do they bother your father (беспокоят) with business on a
day like this?" Kay asked.

11 Michael laughed again. "Because they know that by tradition (по традиции) no
Sicilian can refuse a request (не может отказать просьбе) on his daughter's wedding
day. And no Sicilian ever lets a chance like that go by (не упускает случая,
возможности: «не дает шансу пройти мимо»)."
