Илья Франк - Английский язык с Ф. Баумом. Волшебник Изумрудного Города
In a wardrobe were many green dresses (в гардеробе /висело/ много зеленых платьев), made of silk and satin and velvet (сшитых: «изготовленных» из шелка, атласа и бархата); and all of them fitted Dorothy exactly (и все они идеально подходили Дороти /по размеру/; exactly — точно).
velvet ['velvIt], counterpane ['kauntqpeIn], spray [spreI], perfume ['pq:fju:m], basin ['beIsn], picture ['pIktSq], wardrobe ['wO:drqub], satin ['sxtIn]
It was the sweetest little room in the world, with a soft comfortable bed that had sheets of green silk and a green velvet counterpane. There was a tiny fountain in the middle of the room, that shot a spray of green perfume into the air, to fall back into a beautifully carved green marble basin.
Beautiful green flowers stood in the windows, and there was a shelf with a row of little green books. When Dorothy had time to open these books she found them full of queer green pictures that made her laugh, they were so funny.
In a wardrobe were many green dresses, made of silk and satin and velvet; and all of them fitted Dorothy exactly.
"Make yourself perfectly at home (чувствуй себя совершенно как дома; to make oneself at home — быть как дома)," said the green girl, "and if you wish for anything ring the bell (и, если тебе что-нибудь понадобится, то позвони в звонок; to ring — звонить /производить звук/; звонить /в колокола, звонок и т. п./). Oz will send for you tomorrow morning (Оз пришлет за тобой завтра утром)."
She left Dorothy alone and went back to the others (она оставила Дороти одну и вернулась к остальным). These she also led to rooms (их: «этих» она также отвела в комнаты), and each one of them found himself lodged in a very pleasant part of the Palace (и каждый из них оказался поселенным в очень красивой части Дворца; to lodge — разместить; /временно/ поселить /у себя, на постой/; pleasant — приятный, милый; симпатичный). Of course this politeness was wasted on the Scarecrow (конечно, эта учтивость была впустую потрачена на Страшилу; to waste — расточать, тратить напрасно /деньги и т. п./; растрачиваться без пользы, пропадать попусту); for when he found himself alone in his room he stood stupidly in one spot (потому что когда он оказался в комнате один, он встал глупо на одном месте), just within the doorway, to wait till morning (как раз за дверью: «как /раз/ в пределах дверного проема» и /стал/ дожидаться утра). It would not rest him to lie down (он не нашел бы отдохновения, если бы прилег; rest — покой, отдых, сон; to rest — отдыхать, спать; давать отдых, покой), and he could not close his eyes (и он не мог закрыть глаза); so he remained all night staring at a little spider (так /что/ он провел всю ночь, уставившись на маленького паучка; to remain — оставаться; пребывать, оставаться /в каком-либо состоянии/) which was weaving its web in a corner of the room (который плел свою паутину в углу комнаты; to weave — ткать; плести), just as if it were not one of the most wonderful rooms in the world (как будто это не была одна из самых удивительных комнат в мире).

The Tin Woodman lay down on his bed from force of habit (Железный Дровосек прилег на кровать в силу привычки; force — сила, мощь; сила, воздействие), for he remembered when he was made of flesh (ведь он помнил /то время/, когда он был сделан из плоти); but not being able to sleep, he passed the night moving his joints up and down (но, будучи неспособным спать, он провел ночь, двигая своими суставами вверх и вниз) to make sure they kept in good working order (чтобы быть уверенным, что они сохраняются в хорошем рабочем состоянии; order — порядок, последовательность; исправность, хорошее состояние; to make sure — убедиться; удостовериться; обеспечить). The Lion would have preferred a bed of dried leaves in the forest (Лев предпочел бы постель из сухих листьев в лесу), and did not like being shut up in a room (и ему не нравилось быть запертым в комнате); but he had too much sense to let this worry him (но он обладал слишком здравым смыслом, чтобы позволить этому беспокоить себя; sense — чувство, ощущение; здравый смысл, склад ума), so he sprang upon the bed and rolled himself up like a cat and purred himself asleep in a minute (поэтому он запрыгнул на кровать, свернулся, как кот, и убаюкал сам себя мурлыканьем за одну минуту; to roll up — скатываться, свертываться; purr — мурлыканье; to purr — мурлыкать).

The next morning, after breakfast, the green maiden came to fetch Dorothy (на следующее утро, после завтрака зеленая девица пришла за Дороти; to fetch — принести, достать; сходить за кем-либо, позвать кого-либо), and she dressed her in one of the prettiest gowns (и она /помогла ей/ одеться в одно из самых прелестных платьев), made of green brocaded satin (которое было сшито: «изготовлено» из /украшенного/ парчой атласа; brocade — парча; to brocade — вырабатывать парчу; украшать парчой; brocaded — парчовый). Dorothy put on a green silk apron (Дороти надела зеленый шелковый передник) and tied a green brocade around Toto's neck (и повязала /ошейник/ из зеленой парчи на шею Тото: «вокруг шеи Тото/), and they started for the Throne Room of the Great Oz (и они отправились в Тронный Зал Великого Оза).
First they came to a great hall in which were many ladies and gentlemen of the court (поначалу они вошли в огромный зал, в котором было много придворных дам и господ; court — двор /короля и т. п./), all dressed in rich costumes (все /они/ были одеты в роскошные наряды; rich — богатый; дорогой, роскошный). These people had nothing to do but talk to each other (этим людям было нечего делать, кроме как разговаривать друг с другом), but they always came to wait outside the Throne Room every morning (но они всегда приходили, чтобы ожидать снаружи Тронного Зала каждое утро), although they were never permitted to see Oz (хотя им никогда не разрешалось увидеть Оза). As Dorothy entered they looked at her curiously (когда Дороти вошла, они посмотрели на нее с любопытством), and one of them whispered (а один из них прошептал): "Are you really going to look upon the face of Oz the Terrible (ты действительно собираешься взглянуть в лицо Оза Грозного)?"

The next morning, after breakfast, the green maiden came to fetch Dorothy, and she dressed her in one of the prettiest gowns, made of green brocaded satin. Dorothy put on a green silk apron and tied a green ribbon around Toto's neck, and they started for the Throne Room of the Great Oz.

"Of course (конечно)," answered the girl, "if he will see me (если он примет меня)."
"Oh, he will see you (он примет тебя)," said the soldier who had taken her message to the Wizard (сказал тот солдат, который передавал ее просьбу: «относил ее послание» Волшебнику), "although he does not like to have people ask to see him (хотя ему и не нравится, когда люди просят увидеть его). Indeed, at first he was angry (в самом деле, сначала он рассердился) and said I should send you back where you came from (и сказал, что я должен отправить тебя обратно, туда откуда ты прибыла). Then he asked me what you looked like (затем он спросил у меня, как ты выглядишь; to look — смотреть, глядеть; выглядеть, иметь вид), and when I mentioned your silver shoes he was very much interested (а когда я упомянул о твоих серебряных башмаках, он очень сильно заинтересовался). At last I told him about the mark upon your forehead (наконец я сказал ему о метке на твоем лбу), and he decided he would admit you to his presence (и он решил, что примет тебя: «допустит тебя к себе на прием»; presence — присутствие)."
mention ['menS(q)n], silver ['sIlvq], mark [mQ:k], admit [qd'mIt]
"Of course," answered the girl, "if he will see me."
"Oh, he will see you," said the soldier who had taken her message to the Wizard, "although he does not like to have people ask to see him.

At last I told him about the mark upon your forehead, and he decided he would admit you to his presence."
Just then a bell rang (как раз в этот момент прозвенел звонок), and the green girl said to Dorothy (и зеленая девушка сказала Дороти), "That is the signal (это сигнал). You must go into the Throne Room alone (ты должна идти в Тронный Зал одна)." She opened a little door (она открыла небольшую дверь) and Dorothy walked boldly through and found herself in a wonderful place (и Дороти смело вошла /сквозь нее в Зал/ и очутилась в удивительном месте). It was a big, round room with a high arched roof (это был большой круглый зал с высоким сводчатым потолком; roof — крыша, кровля; потолок), and the walls and ceiling and floor were covered with large emeralds (и стены, и потолок, и пол были покрыты крупными изумрудами) set closely together (уложенными плотно друг к другу). In the center of the roof was a great light (в центре потолка находилась огромная лампа; light — свет, освещение; источник света: лампа, фонарь, прожектор), as bright as the sun, which made the emeralds sparkle in a wonderful manner (такая же яркая, как солнце, которая заставляла изумруды искриться удивительным образом).
signal ['sIgn(q)l], alone [q'lqun], wonderful ['wAndqful], ceiling ['si:lIN]

She opened a little door and Dorothy walked boldly through and found herself in a wonderful place.

In the center of the roof was a great light, as bright as the sun, which made the emeralds sparkle in a wonderful manner.
But what interested Dorothy most was the big throne of green marble (но что заинтересовало Дороти больше всего, так это большой трон из зеленого мрамора) that stood in the middle of the room (который стоял посреди комнаты). It was shaped like a chair and sparkled with gems (он имел форму кресла и искрился драгоценными камнями; shape — форма; to shape — придавать форму), as did everything else (как и все /вокруг/). In the center of the chair was an enormous Head (в центре кресла была громадная Голова), without a body to support it (без тела, которое бы поддерживало ее) or any arms or legs whatever (или /без/ каких бы то ни было рук или ног). There was no hair upon this head (на этой голове не было волос), but it had eyes and a nose and mouth (но у нее были глаза, нос и рот), and was much bigger than the head of the biggest giant (/и эта голова/ была намного больше, чем голова самого большого великана).
