accost [q'kOst] importance [Im'pO:t(q)ns] breathe [bri:D]

When they had come within speech (which was just under the maid's eyes) the older man bowed and accosted the other with a very pretty manner of politeness. It did not seem as if the subject of his address were of great importance; indeed, from his pointing, it sometimes appeared as if he were only inquiring his way; but the moon shone on his face as he spoke, and the girl was pleased to watch it, it seemed to breathe such an innocent and old-world kindness of disposition, yet with something high too, as of a well-founded self-content.

Presently her eye wandered to the other (вскоре взор ее перешел к другому /прохожему/), and she was surprised to recognise in him a certain Mr. Hyde (в котором она с удивлением узнала некоего мистера Хайда), who had once visited her master (который однажды приходил к ее хозяину), and for whom she had conceived a dislike (и которого она тогда же невзлюбила; to conceive — постигать; возыметь, почувствовать). He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling (в руках у него была тяжелая трость, которую он крутил в руках/которой он /все время/ поигрывал; cane — камыш; трость; to trifle — шутить; возиться, теребить); but he answered never a word (но он не ответил ни слова), and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience (и, казалось, слушал с плохо скрываемым раздражением; to contain — содержать; сдерживаться). And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger (а затем, совершенно внезапно, он разъярился: «разразился сильнейшим приступом ярости»; to break — ломать; начаться, разразиться; flame — пламя; пыл, страсть), stamping with his foot (затопал ногами; to stamp — ставитьштамп; топать/ногами/), brandishing the cane (угрожающе взмахнул тростью; to brandish — махать, размахивать /мечом, палкой/), and carrying on (as the maid described it) like a madman (и повел себя (как описала это служанка), словно безумец; to carry on — продолжать; вестисебянесдержанно, беситься).

recognize ['rekqgnaIz] conceive [kqn'si:v] impatience [Im'peIS(q)ns]

Presently her eye wandered to the other, and she was surprised to recognise in him a certain Mr. Hyde, who had once visited her master, and for whom she had conceived a dislike. He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling; but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane, and carrying on (as the maid described it) like a madman.

The old gentleman took a step back (пожилой джентльмен сделал шаг назад = попятился), with the air of one very much surprised and a trifle hurt (с видом человека очень сильно удивленного и слегка обиженного; hurt — раненый; обиженный, оскорбленный); and at that Mr. Hyde broke out of all bounds (и тогда мистер Хайд, словно сорвавшись с цепи: «перейдя все разумные пределы»), and clubbed him to the earth (повалил того ударом трости на землю; club — дубина). And the next moment, with ape-like fury (и уже в следующее мгновение, с обезьяньей яростью), he was trampling his victim under foot (он топтал свою жертву ногами), and hailing down a storm of blows (и осыпал ее градом ударов; hail — град), under which the bones were audibly shattered (под которым было слышно, как ломаются кости; audibly — громко, внятно; вслух; явно) and the body jumped upon the roadway (а тело подпрыгивает на мостовой). At the horror of these sights and sounds, the maid fainted (придя в ужас от этого вида и звуков, служанка упала в обморок; to faint — ослабевать/отусталости, голодаит. п./; падатьвобморок).

The old gentleman took a step back, with the air of one very much surprised and a trifle hurt; and at that Mr. Hyde broke out of all bounds, and clubbed him to the earth. And the next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot, and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway. At the horror of these sights and sounds, the maid fainted.

It was two o'clock when she came to herself and called for the police (было два часа ночи, когда она пришла в себя и вызвала полицию). The murderer was gone long ago (убийца уже давно скрылся); but there lay his victim in the middle of the lane, incredibly mangled (но посреди переулка лежала его жертва, невероятно покалеченная). The stick with which the deed had been done (трость, которой было совершенно это преступление; stick — палка; трость; deed — поступок, действие), although it was of some rare and very tough and heavy wood (хотя она и была из какого-то редкого, очень прочного и тяжелого дерева; tough — жесткий; крепкий, прочный), had broken in the middle under the stress of this insensate cruelty (сломалась пополам под воздействием этой слепой жестокости; middle — середина; insensate — неодушевленный; бесчувственный, бездушный); and one splintered half had rolled in the neighbouring gutter (и одна отколовшаяся половина /трости/ укатилась в /близлежащую/ сточную канаву) — the other, without doubt, had been carried away by the murderer (а вторая, без сомнения, была унесена убийцей). A purse and a gold watch were found upon the victim (на жертве были обнаружены кошелек и золотые часы); but no cards or papers, except a sealed and stamped envelope (/но не было обнаружено/ ни визитных карточек, ни документов, за исключением конверта — запечатанного и с наклеенными марками; card — карта/игральная/; визитнаякарточка; paper — бумага; документ; to stamp — ставитьштамп; наклеиватьмарки), which he had been probably carrying to the post (который он, по-видимому, нес на почту), and which bore the name and address of Mr. Utterson (и на котором были написаны имя и адрес мистера Аттерсона; to bear — переносить; иметь, нестинасебе).

murderer ['mq:d(q)rq] incredibly [In'kredqblI] insensate [In'senseIt] cruelty ['kru:qltI]

It was two o'clock when she came to herself and called for the police. The murderer was gone long ago; but there lay his victim in the middle of the lane, incredibly mangled. The stick with which the deed had been done, although it was of some rare and very tough and heavy wood, had broken in the middle under the stress of this insensate cruelty; and one splintered half had rolled in the neighbouring gutter — the other, without doubt, had been carried away by the murderer. A purse and a gold watch were found upon the victim; but no cards or papers, except a sealed and stamped envelope, which he had been probably carrying to the post, and which bore the name and address of Mr. Utterson.

This was brought to the lawyer the next morning, before he was out of bed (это письмо принесли нотариусу на следующее утро, прежде чем тот встал с постели); and he had no sooner seen it, and been told the circumstances (и как только он увидел его и услышал: «и ему рассказали», при каких обстоятельствах /оно было обнаружено/), than he shot out a solemn lip (как он поджал губы: «выдвинул торжественную/важную губу»; to shoot out the lip — надуватьгубы, выражатьнедовольство). "I shall say nothing till I have seen the body (я ничего не скажу, пока не увижу тело)," said he; "this may be very serious (это может оказаться очень серьезным = принять весьма серьезный оборот). Have the kindness to wait while I dress (будьте так добры/любезны подождать, пока я оденусь)."

And with the same grave countenance he hurried through his breakfast (все с тем же мрачным выражением /лица/ он наскоро позавтракал: «поспешил через завтрак»; grave — серьезный; мрачный, печальный) and drove to the police station, whither the body had been carried (и поехал в полицейский участок, куда было перенесено тело). As soon as he came into the cell, he nodded (как только он вошел в камеру, он кивнул).

"Yes," said he, "I recognise him (я узнаю его). I am sorry to say that this is Sir Danvers Carew (к сожалению = долженсприскорбиемсообщитьвам, это сэр Дэнверс Кэрью)."
