He read The Times (он читал “Таймз”), went to church on Sunday (ходил в
церковь по воскресеньям) and accompanied his wife to tea-parties (и
сопровождал свою жену на чаепитиях; tea — чай; party — партия, компания,
прием гостей). Mrs. Gosselyn was a tall (миссис Госселин была высокой),
stoutish (полноватой), elderly woman (пожилой женщиной), much taller than
her husband (гораздо выше, чем ее муж), who gave you the impression (и
которая производила впечатление; to impress — поражать, внушать,
производить впечатление) that she was always trying (будто она всегда
пыталась) to diminish her height (сжаться: «уменьшить свой рост»). She had the
remains of good looks (она сохранила остатки красоты: «у нее были остатки
приятной внешности»), so that you said to yourself (и можно было сказать:
«так что вы говорили себе») that when young (что в молодости: «когда
молодая») she must have been beautiful (она, должно быть, была красавицей).
She wore her hair parted in the middle (она укладывала пробор по середине:
«носила волосы разделенными по середине») with a bun on the nape of her
neck (и пучок на затылке). Her classic features (ее классические черты лица)
and her size (и ее размеры) made her at first meeting somewhat imposing
(придавали ей при первой встрече слегка внушительный вид; imposing —
производящий сильное впечатление, импозантный), but Julia quickly
discovered (но Джулия быстро обнаружила) that she was very shy (что она
была очень застенчивой). Her movements were stiff (ее движения были
неловкими: «жесткими, оцепеневшими») and awkward (и неуклюжими). She
was dressed fussily (она одевалась вычурно: to fuss — волноваться по
пустякам, суетиться, перегружать деталями, слишком разукрашивать),
with a sort of old-fashioned richness (с некоторой старомодной роскошью; rich

Julia, who was entirely without self-consciousness (Джулия, которая напрочь
была лишена: «совершенно без» застенчивости; self-consciousness — чувство
неловкости, смущения; самосознание), found the elder woman's deprecating
attitude (считала: «находила» задабривающее поведение пожилой дамы;
attitude — позиция, положение, отношение) rather touching (довольно
трогательным). She had never known an actress to speak to (она никогда не
была знакома с актрисами: «актрисой» и не разговаривала /с ними/) and did
not quite know (и совершенно не знала) how to deal with the predicament (как
себя вести в этом затруднительном положении; to deal with — иметь дело с
кем-либо, заниматься кем-либо, справляться с кем-либо) in which she now
found herself (в котором она оказалась; to find oneself in a state — оказаться,
очутиться в каком-либо положении). The house was not at all grand (дом
вовсе не был роскошным), a small detached stucco house (небольшой отдельно
стоящий оштукатуренный дом; to detach — разделять, отделять,

отвязывать) in a garden with a laurel hedge (в саду /обнесенном/ изгородью из
лавровых деревьев; hedge — изгородь, ограда, забор), and since the Gosselyns
had been for some years in India (и, так как Госселины провели: «были»
несколько лет в Индии) there were great trays of brass ware (/в доме/
находились большие подносы с изделиями из латуни; ware — товары,
изделия) and brass bowls (а также чаши из латуни), pieces of Indian embroidery
(образчики индийской вышивки) and highly-carved Indian tables (и богато
украшенные резьбой индийские столы; to carve — вырезать, резать,
выпиливать). It was cheap bazaar stuff (это были дешевые вещи с восточного
базара; stuff — материал, вещество, вещь, штука), and you wondered (и
/приходилось только/ удивляться: «вы удивлялись») how anyone had thought it
worth bringing home (как кто-нибудь мог подумать, что они стоят того, чтобы
привезти их домой).
