ONE (ãëàâà ïåðâàÿ)

A few miles south of Soledad (â íåñêîëüêèõ ìèëÿõ ê þãó îò Ñîëåäàäà), the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank (ðåêà Ñàëèíàñ ïðîòåêàåò ðÿäîì ñ õîëìàìè: «ïðèñîåäèíÿåòñÿ áëèçêî ê õîëìèñòîìó áåðåãó»; to drop in — çàéòè, çàñêî÷èòü; ïðèñîåäèíèòüñÿ; hillside — ñêëîí ãîðû, õîëìà) and runs deep and green (è òå÷åò ãëóáîêàÿ è çåëåíàÿ = è çäåñü åå âîäû ãëóáîêèå è çåëåíûå; to run — áåæàòü; òå÷ü, ñòðóèòüñÿ). The water is warm too (âîäà /çäåñü/ òàêæå òåïëàÿ), for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight (ïîòîìó ÷òî ðåêà òåêëà ïî æåëòûì ïåñêàì, ñâåðêàÿ íà ñîëíöå; to slip — ñêîëüçèòü; ïëàâíî íåñòè âîäû; to twinkle — ìèãàòü; áëåñòåòü, ñâåðêàòü) before reaching the narrow pool (ïðåæäå ÷åì äîñòè÷ü óçêîé çàâîäè; pool — ëóæà; çàïðóäà, çàâîäü). On one side of the river (ñ îäíîé ñòîðîíû ðåêè = íà îäíîì åå áåðåãó) the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains (çîëîòèñòûå ïîäíîæèÿ ñêëîíîâ êðóòî ïîäíèìàþòñÿ = ïåðåõîäÿò â íåïðèñòóïíûå ñêàëèñòûå ãîðû Ãàáèëàíà; curve — èçãèá; êðèâàÿ; to curve — èçãèáàòüñÿ; strong — ñèëüíûé; íåïðèñòóïíûé), but on the valley side (à íà äðóãîì — ðàâíèííîì — áåðåãó; valley — äîëèíà; íèçèíà) the water is lined with trees-willows (âäîëü âîäû ïðîòÿíóëèñü äåðåâüÿ — èâû; line — ëèíèÿ; to line — âûñòðîèòüñÿ â ëèíèþ; òÿíóòüñÿ âäîëü) fresh and green with every spring (êàæäîé âåñíîé ñâåæèå è çåëåíûå), carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding (ñîõðàíÿþùèå: «íåñóùèå» íà íèæíèõ ëèñòüÿõ ñëåäû çèìíåãî ðàçëèâà: «çàòîïëåíèÿ»; debris — îñêîëêè; îáëîìêè ïîðîäû); and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches (è ñèêîìîðû ñ ïÿòíèñòûìè, áåëåñûìè ïîêîðåæåííûìè ñó÷üÿìè è âåòâÿìè; recumbent — ëåæàùèé; îïðîêèíóòûé; limb — êîíå÷íîñòü; âåòêà, ñóê) that arch over the pool (÷òî íàâèñëè íàä çàâîäüþ; arch — àðêà; äóãà; to arch — èçãèáàòüñÿ /äóãîé/). On the sandy bank under the trees (íà ïåñ÷àíîì áåðåãó ïîä äåðåâüÿìè) the leaves lie deep and so crisp (ëèñòüÿ ëåæàò ãóñòûì è íàñòîëüêî õðóñòêèì /ñëîåì/; deep — ãëóáîêèé; ãóñòîé) that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them (÷òî /äàæå/ ÿùåðèöà ïðîèçâîäèò ñèëüíîå øóðøàíèå, ïðîáåãàÿ ñðåäè íèõ; skitter — áûñòðîå ñêîëüçÿùåå äâèæåíèå; çâóê, âûçâàííûé ýòèì äâèæåíèåì).

debris [`deIbrJ], limb [lIm], arch [RC]

A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees — willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool. On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them.

Rabbits come out of the brush (êðîëèêè âûëåçàþò èç êóñòîâ; to come out — âûõîäèòü; ïîÿâëÿòüñÿ) to sit on the sand in the evening (÷òîáû ïî âå÷åðàì ïîñèäåòü íà ïåñêå), and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of 'coons (è ñûðûå îòìåëè ïîêðûòû îñòàâëåííûìè çà íî÷ü ñëåäàìè åíîòîâ; flats — ðàâíèíà; îòìåëü, ìåëêîâîäüå), and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches (è ñëåäàìè îò øèðîêèõ ëàï ñîáàê ñ /îêðåñòíûõ/ ðàí÷î; to spread — ðàñïðîñòðàíÿòüñÿ, ðàñøèðÿòüñÿ; pad — ïîäóøêà, ïîäñòèëêà; ñëåä îò ïîäóøå÷åê íà ëàïàõ æèâîòíîãî), and with the split-wedge tracks of deer that come to drink in the dark (è ðàçäâîåííûìè êëèíîîáðàçíûìè ñëåäàìè îëåíåé, ÷òî ïðèõîäÿò â òåìíîòå íà âîäîïîé; split — ðàñùåïëÿòü; ðàçäåëÿòü; wedge — êëèí).
There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores (ñðåäè èâ è ñèêîìîðîâ åñòü òðîïêà), a path beaten hard by boys (òðîïêà, «óñèëåííî» ïðîòîïòàííàÿ ìàëü÷èøêàìè; to beat (beat; beaten) — áèòü; ïðîòàïòûâàòü; hard — òâåðäûé; â ñî÷åòàíèè ñ ãëàãîëîì çâó÷èò êàê óñèëåíèå) coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool (ïðèáåãàþùèìè: «ñïóñêàþùèìèñÿ» /ñþäà/ ñ /îêðåñòíûõ/ ðàí÷î, ÷òîáû ïîêóïàòüñÿ â ãëóáîêîé çàâîäè; to come down — ñïóñêàòüñÿ; to swim — ïëàâàòü; êóïàòüñÿ), and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening (è áðîäÿãàìè, êîòîðûå ïî âå÷åðàì óñòàëî ñâîðà÷èâàþò ñþäà ñ øîññå; weary — óñòàëûé, óòîìëåííûé) to jungle-up near water (ïåðåíî÷åâàòü ó âîäû; jungle — íî÷ëåæêà; òðóùîáû, ãäå æèâóò áðîäÿãè /àìåð. ñëåíã/). In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore (ïåðåä ëåæàùèì íà çåìëå: «íèçêî ëåæàùèì» ñóêîì ãèãàíòñêîãî ñèêîìîðà; horizontal — ãîðèçîíòàëüíûé; ïëîñêî ëåæàùèé) there is an ash pile made by many fires (/îáðàçîâàëàñü/ êó÷à çîëû îò êîñòðîâ; to make (made) — äåëàòü; ñîçäàâàòü, îáðàçîâûâàòü; fire — îãîíü; êîñòåð); the limb is worn smooth by men (ñóê ãëàäêî îòøëèôîâàí: «âûòåðò» ëþäüìè; to wear (wore; worn) — íîñèòü; ñíàøèâàòüñÿ; âûòèðàòüñÿ) who have sat on it (ñèäåâøèìè íà íåì: «êòî íà íåì ñèäåë»; to sit (sat)).

brush [brAS], giant [`GaIqnt], sycamore [`sIkqmL]

Rabbits come out of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening, and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of 'coons, and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches, and with the split-wedge tracks of deer that come to drink in the dark.
There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water. In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore there is an ash pile made by many fires; the limb is worn smooth by men who have sat on it.

Evening of a hot day started the little wind to (âå÷åðîì æàðêîãî äíÿ ïîäíÿëñÿ ëåãêèé âåòåðîê; to start — íà÷èíàòü/ñÿ/) moving among the leaves (øåëåñòåâøèé â ëèñòâå: «äâèæóùèéñÿ ñðåäè ëèñòüåâ»). The shade climbed up the hills toward the top (òåíü ïîäíèìàëàñü ê âåðøèíàì ãîð; to climb — âçáèðàòüñÿ; ïîäíèìàòüñÿ; hill — õîëì, ãîðà). On the sand banks the rabbits sat (ïî ïåñ÷àíûì áåðåãàì ñèäåëè êðîëèêè) as quietly as little gray sculptured stones (òàêæå íåïîäâèæíî: «òèõî», êàê ñåðûå ñêóëüïòóðû èç êàìíÿ). And then from the direction of the state highway (à çàòåì ñî ñòîðîíû øîññå; direction — íàïðàâëåíèå; state — èìåþùèé îòíîøåíèå ê øòàòó; ãîñóäàðñòâåííûé) came the sound of footsteps on crisp sycamore leaves (äîíåññÿ çâóê øàãîâ ïî õðóñòêèì ëèñòüÿì ñèêîìîðîâ; to come (came; come) — ïðèõîäèòü; äîñòèãàòü). The rabbits hurried noiselessly for cover (êðîëèêè áåñøóìíî ïîñïåøèëè â óêðûòèå; to hurry — ñïåøèòü; cover — êðûøêà; óáåæèùå). A stilted heron labored up into the air (ãîðäåëèâàÿ öàïëÿ òÿæåëî ïîäíÿëàñü â âîçäóõ; stilted — íàïûùåííûé, âûñîêîïàðíûé; labor — òðóä; to labor — ïðèëàãàòü óñèëèÿ) and pounded down river (è ïîëåòåëà âíèç ïî ðåêå; to pound — áèòü, êîëîòèòü; òÿæåëî èäòè, áåæàòü è ò.ä.). For a moment the place was lifeless (íà ìãíîâåíèå âîêðóã âñå çàìåðëî: «ìåñòî áûëî áåçæèçíåííûì»), and then two men emerged from the path (à çàòåì äâà ÷åëîâåêà ïîêàçàëèñü íà òðîïå; to emerge — ïîÿâëÿòüñÿ) and came into the opening by the green pool (è âûøëè íà ïîëÿíó ó çåëåíîé çàâîäè; opening — îòêðûòîå ïðîñòðàíñòâî).

climb [klaIm], toward [`tquqd], emerge [I`mWG]

Evening of a hot day started the little wind to moving among the leaves. The shade climbed up the hills toward the top. On the sand banks the rabbits sat as quietly as little gray sculptured stones. And then from the direction of the state highway came the sound of footsteps on crisp sycamore leaves. The rabbits hurried noiselessly for cover. A stilted heron labored up into the air and pounded down river. For a moment the place was lifeless, and then two men emerged from the path and came into the opening by the green pool.

They had walked in single file down the path (îíè øëè îäèí çà äðóãèì: «â îäèí ðÿä» ïî òðîïå; file — ðÿä, êîëîííà), and even in the open one stayed behind the other (è äàæå íà ïîëÿíå îäèí äåðæàëñÿ ïîçàäè äðóãîãî; to stay behind — äåðæàòüñÿ/ñòîÿòü ïîçàäè; îòñòàâàòü). Both were dressed in denim trousers (îáà áûëè îäåòû â õîëùîâûå øòàíû; denim — ãðóáàÿ õëîï÷àòîáóìàæíàÿ òêàíü) and in denim coats with brass buttons (è â òàêèå æå êóðòêè ñ ìåäíûìè ïóãîâèöàìè; coat — ïàëüòî, êóðòêà). Both wore black, shapeless hats (íà îáîèõ áûëè ÷åðíûå áåñôîðìåííûå øëÿïû; to wear (wore; worn) — íîñèòü /îá îäåæäå/) and both carried tight blanket rolls slung over their shoulders (è îáà íåñëè òóãî ñêàòàííûå îäåÿëà, ïåðåáðîøåííûå ÷åðåç ïëå÷î; roll — ñâåðòîê; to sling (slung) — áðîñàòü; âåøàòü ÷åðåç ïëå÷î). The first man was small and quick, dark of face (ïåðâûé áûë ìàëåíüêèé, ïîäâèæíûé: «áûñòðûé», òåìíîëèöûé), with restless eyes and sharp, strong features (ñ áåñïîêîéíûìè = áåãàþùèìè ãëàçàìè è îñòðûìè, ðåøèòåëüíûìè ÷åðòàìè ëèöà; sharp — îñòðûé; ñóðîâûé). Every part of him was defined (âñå â íåì: «êàæäàÿ åãî ÷àñòü» áûëî âûðàçèòåëüíûì; to define — îïðåäåëÿòü; õàðàêòåðèçîâàòü): small, strong hands, slender arms (ìàëåíüêèå ñèëüíûå ðóêè, óçêèå ïëå÷è; hand — ðóêà /êèñòü/; arm — ðóêà /îò êèñòè äî ïëå÷à/; slender — ñòðîéíûé; óçêèé), a thin and bony nose (òîíêèé è çàîñòðåííûé íîñ; bony — êîñòëÿâûé; bone — êîñòü). Behind him walked his opposite (ïîçàäè íåãî øëà åãî ïîëíàÿ ïðîòèâîïîëîæíîñòü), a huge man, shapeless of face (÷åëîâåê îãðîìíîãî ðîñòà ñ íåïðàâèëüíûìè ÷åðòàìè ëèöà; shapeless — áåñôîðìåííûé; íåêðàñèâûé, íåñêëàäíûé; shape — ôîðìà), with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders (ñ áîëüøèìè áëåêëûìè ãëàçàìè è øèðîêèìè ïîêàòûìè ïëå÷àìè; pale — áëåäíûé; òóñêëûé; slope — íàêëîí; ñêëîí); and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little (è ñòóïàë îí òÿæåëî, íåìíîãî âîëî÷à íîãè), the way a bear drags his paws (òàê, êàê ìåäâåäè âîëî÷àò ëàïû). His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely (ðóêè åãî íå êà÷àëèñü èç ñòîðîíû â ñòîðîíó, à âèñåëè ñâîáîäíî; to hang (hung); loose — ñâîáîäíûé; íåïðèêðåïëåííûé).

tight [taIt], shoulder [`Squldq], heavily [`hevIlI]

They had walked in single file down the path, and even in the open one stayed behind the other. Both were dressed in denim trousers and in denim coats with brass buttons. Both wore black, shapeless hats and both carried tight blanket rolls slung over their shoulders. The first man was small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely.

The first man stopped short in the clearing (ïåðâûé ðåçêî îñòàíîâèëñÿ íà ïîëÿíå; short — êîðîòêèé; áûñòðûé, ñòðåìèòåëüíûé; clearing — ïðîÿñíåíèå; ðàñ÷èùåííûé ó÷àñòîê ëåñà), and the follower nearly ran over him (è èäóùèé ñëåäîì ÷óòü íå íàëåòåë íà íåãî; to follow — ñëåäîâàòü, èäòè çà; nearly — ïî÷òè; to run (ran; run) — áåæàòü; íàòàëêèâàòüñÿ, íàëåòàòü). He took off his hat (îí ñíÿë øëÿïó; to take (took; taken) off — ñíèìàòü) and wiped the sweat-band with his forefinger (óêàçàòåëüíûì ïàëüöåì âûòåð ëåíòó âíóòðè; sweat — ïîò; band — ëåíòà) and snapped the moisture off (è ùåë÷êîì ñòðÿõíóë êàïåëüêè ïîòà: «âëàãó»; snap — ùåë÷îê). His huge companion dropped his blankets (åãî äþæèé ñïóòíèê áðîñèë ñâîè îäåÿëà; huge — áîëüøîé, ãðîìàäíûé) and flung himself down (ïëþõíóëñÿ íà çåìëþ; to fling (flung) — áðîñèòüñÿ, ðèíóòüñÿ) and drank from the surface of the green pool (è /ñòàë/ ïèòü ñ çåëåíîé ïîâåðõíîñòè âîäîåìà; to drink (drunk)); drank with long gulps (/îí/ ïèë áîëüøèìè ãëîòêàìè; long — äëèííûé; áîëüøîé îáøèðíûé), snorting into the water like a horse (ôûðêàÿ â âîäó, êàê ëîøàäü). The small man stepped nervously beside him (ìàëåíüêèé íåðâíî = ñ îçàáî÷åííûì âèäîì øàãíóë ê íåìó).
"Lennie!" he said sharply (Ëåííè, — ñêàçàë îí ðåçêî; to say (said)). "Lennie, for God' sakes don't drink so much (Ëåííè, ðàäè Áîãà, íå ïåé òàê ìíîãî; for God' sakes — ðàäè Áîãà, ðàäè âñåãî ñâÿòîãî)." Lennie continued to snort into the pool (Ëåííè ïðîäîëæàë ôûðêàòü). The small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder (ìàëåíüêèé íàêëîíèëñÿ è òðÿõíóë åãî çà ïëå÷î; to shake (shook; shaken)). "Lennie. You gonna be sick like you was last night (òåáå îïÿòü áóäåò ïëîõî: «òû áóäåøü áîëüíûì», êàê ïðîøëîé íî÷üþ; gonna /ðàçã./ = going to — ñîáèðàòüñÿ, íàìåðåâàòüñÿ)."
Lennie dipped his whole head under (Ëåííè îêóíóë ãîëîâó «öåëèêîì» â ðåêó), hat and all (/âìåñòå/ ñî øëÿïîé è âñåì îñòàëüíûì), and then he sat up on the bank (à ïîñëå óñåëñÿ íà áåðåãó; to sit (sat)) and his hat dripped down on his blue coat (è ñ åãî øëÿïû êàïàëà âîäà íà ãîëóáóþ êóðòêó; to drip — êàïàòü, ïàäàòü êàïëÿìè) and ran down his back (è ñáåãàëà âíèç ïî ñïèíå; to run (ran) down — ñòåêàòü, ñáåãàòü). "That's good," he said (ýõ, ñëàâíî: «õîðîøî», — ñêàçàë îí). "You drink some, George (ïîïåé «íåìíîãî» è òû, Äæîðäæ). You take a good big drink (íàïåéñÿ ââîëþ: «ñäåëàé õîðîøèé áîëüøîé ãëîòîê»)." He smiled happily (îí áëàæåííî óëûáíóëñÿ; happy — ñ÷àñòëèâûé; äîâîëüíûé).
George unslung his bindle (Äæîðäæ ñíÿë ñ ïëå÷à ñâîé óçåë; to sling — ïîäâåøèâàòü /÷òî-ë./; âåøàòü ÷åðåç ïëå÷î; /ïðèñòàâêà un — ïðèäàåò ïðîòèâîïîëîæíîå çíà÷åíèå/; bindle — óçåë ñ âåùàìè /àìåð. ñëåíã/) and dropped it gently on the bank (è îñòîðîæíî ïîëîæèë íà áåðåã; gently — ìÿãêî; îñòîðîæíî).

follower [`fOlquq], huge [hjHG], bindle [bIndl]

The first man stopped short in the clearing, and the follower nearly ran over him. He took off his hat and wiped the sweat-band with his forefinger and snapped the moisture off. His huge companion dropped his blankets and flung himself down and drank from the surface of the green pool; drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse. The small man stepped nervously beside him.
"Lennie!" he said sharply. "Lennie, for God' sakes don't drink so much." Lennie continued to snort into the pool. The small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder. "Lennie. You gonna be sick like you was last night."
Lennie dipped his whole head under, hat and all, and then he sat up on the bank and his hat dripped down on his blue coat and ran down his back. "That's good," he said. "You drink some, George. You take a good big drink." He smiled happily.
George unslung his bindle and dropped it gently on the bank. "I ain't sure it's good water," he said. "Looks kinda scummy."

Lennie dabbled his big paw in the water (Ëåííè øëåïíóë ïî âîäå ñâîåé îãðîìíîé ëàïîé/ðó÷èùåé; to dabble — áðûçãàòü/ñÿ/; áóëòûõàòü/ñÿ/) and wiggled his fingers so the water arose in little splashes (è çàäâèãàë ïàëüöàìè òàê, ÷òî ïî âîäå ïîøëà ìåëêàÿ ðÿáü: «ìàëåíüêèå âñïëåñêè»; to wiggle — ïîêà÷èâàòü/ñÿ/; to arise (arose; arisen) — âîçíèêàòü, ïðîèñõîäèòü); rings widened across the pool to the other side (êðóãè, ðàñøèðÿÿñü, /ïîáåæàëè/ ïî çàâîäè ê äðóãîìó áåðåãó; wide — øèðîêèé; to wide — ðàñøèðÿòü/ñÿ/) and came back again (è âåðíóëèñü ñíîâà íàçàä; to come (came; come) back — âîçâðàùàòüñÿ).

George knelt beside the pool (Äæîðäæ âñòàë íà êîëåíè) and drank from his hand with quick scoops (è íàïèëñÿ ñ ëàäîíè, áûñòðî /÷åðïàÿ âîäó/ ãîðñòÿìè; scoop — ëîïàòêà, êîâø; áîëüøîå êîëè÷åñòâî /êàêîãî-ë. âåùåñòâà/, çà÷åðïûâàåìîå çà îäèí ðàç).

Lennie dabbled his big paw in the water and wiggled his fingers so the water arose in little splashes; rings widened across the pool to the other side and came back again. Lennie watched them go. "Look, George. Look what I done."
George knelt beside the pool and drank from his hand with quick scoops. "Tastes all right," he admitted. "Don't really seem to be running, though. You never oughta drink water when it ain't running, Lennie," he said hopelessly. "You'd drink out of a gutter if you was thirsty." He threw a scoop of water into his face and rubbed it about with his hand, under his chin and around the back of his neck. Then he replaced his hat, pushed himself back from the river, drew up his knees and embraced them. Lennie, who had been watching, imitated George exactly. He pushed himself back, drew up his knees, embraced them, looked over to George to see whether he had it just right. He pulled his hat down a little more over his eyes, the way George's hat was.

George stared morosely at the water (Äæîðäæ ìðà÷íî óñòàâèëñÿ íà âîäó). The rims of his eyes were red with sun glare (ïî êðàÿì åãî ãëàçà ïîêðàñíåëè îò ÿðêîãî ñîëíöà; glare — îñëåïèòåëüíûé ÿðêèé ñâåò).

George stared morosely at the water. The rims of his eyes were red with sun glare. He said angrily, "We could just as well of rode clear to the ranch if that bastard bus driver knew what he was talkin' about. 'Jes' a little stretch down the highway,' he says. 'Jes' a little stretch.' God damn near four miles, that's what it was! Didn't wanta stop at the ranch gate, that's what. Too God damn lazy to pull up.

Lennie looked timidly over to him. "George?"
"Yeah, what ya want?"
"Where we goin', George?"

The little man jerked down the brim of his hat (ìàëåíüêèé ðåçêî îäåðíóë âíèç ïîëÿ ñâîåé øëÿïû; jerk — ðåçêîå äâèæåíèå; ðûâîê; brim — êðàé; ïîëÿ /øëÿïû/) and scowled over at Lennie (è ñåðäèòî âçãëÿíóë íà Ëåííè).

"You never had none, you crazy bastard. I got both of 'em here. Think I'd let you carry your own work card?"

Lennie grinned with relief (Ëåííè ñ îáëåã÷åíèåì óëûáíóëñÿ; grin — îñêàë; óñìåøêà). "I... I thought I put it in my side pocket (ÿ, ÿ ïîäóìàë, ÷òî ïîëîæèë åå â áîêîâîé êàðìàí; to put (put))." His hand went into the pocket again (îí îïÿòü ñóíóë ðóêó â êàðìàí).

"Ain't a thing in my pocket," Lennie said cleverly.

Lennie looked startled and then in embarrassment hid his face against his knees. "I forgot again."
"Jesus Christ," George said resignedly. "Well — look, we're gonna work on a ranch like the one we come from up north."
"Up north?"
"In Weed."
"Oh, sure. I remember. In Weed."
"That ranch we're goin' to is right down there about a quarter mile. We're gonna go in an' see the boss. Now, look — I'll give him the work tickets, but you ain't gonna say a word.

"Sure, George. Sure I got it."
"O.K. Now when we go in to see the boss, what you gonna do?"
"I... I..." Lennie thought. His face grew tight with thought. "I... ain't gonna say nothin'. Jus' gonna stan' there."
"Good boy. That's swell. You say that over two, three times so you sure won't forget it."

Lennie droned to himself softly (Ëåííè /ñòàë/ ïîâòîðÿòü ñåáå òèõî; to drone — ãóäåòü; áóáíèòü, ÷èòàòü ìîíîòîííî), "I ain't gonna say nothin' (ÿ íå äîëæåí íè÷åãî ãîâîðèòü)... I ain't gonna say nothin'... I ain't gonna say nothin'."

"I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn't have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl."

For a moment Lennie lay quiet (ìãíîâåíèå Ëåííè ëåæàë ìîë÷à; quiet — òèõèé, áåñøóìíûé; ìîë÷àëèâûé), and then he said hopefully (à çàòåì ñêàçàë ñ íàäåæäîé), "We gonna work on a ranch, George (ìû áóäåì ðàáîòàòü íà ðàí÷î, Äæîðäæ)."

For a moment Lennie lay quiet, and then he said hopefully, "We gonna work on a ranch, George."
"Awright. You got that. But we're gonna sleep here because I got a reason."
The day was going fast now. Only the tops of the Gabilan Mountains flamed with the light of the sun that had gone from the valley. A water snake slipped along on the pool, its head held up like a little periscope. The reeds jerked slightly in the current. Far off toward the highway a man shouted something, and another man shouted back. The sycamore limbs rustled under a little wind that died immediately.
"George — why ain't we goin' on to the ranch and get some supper? They got supper at the ranch."
George rolled on his side. "No reason at all for you. I like it here. Tomorra we're gonna go to work. I seen thrashin' machines on the way down. That means we'll be buckin' grain bags, bustin' a gut. Tonight I'm gonna lay right here and look up. I like it."

Lennie got up on his knees (Ëåííè ïîäíÿëñÿ íà êîëåíè; to get up — âñòàâàòü; ïîäíèìàòüñÿ) and looked down at George (è âçãëÿíóë «âíèç» íà Äæîðäæà). "Ain't we gonna have no supper (ó íàñ íå áóäåò óæèíà)?"

George lay where he was and whistled softly to himself (Äæîðäæ ïðîäîëæàë ëåæàòü, òèõîíüêî ïîñâèñòûâàÿ).

Lennie got up on his knees and looked down at George. "Ain't we gonna have no supper?"
"Sure we are, if you gather up some dead willow sticks. I got three cans of beans in my bindle. You get a fire ready. I'll give you a match when you get the sticks together. Then we'll heat the beans and have supper."

"Well, we ain't got no ketchup. You go get wood. An' don't you fool around. It'll be dark before long."
Lennie lumbered to his feet and disappeared in the brush. George lay where he was and whistled softly to himself. There were sounds of splashings down the river in the direction Lennie had taken. George stopped whistling and listened. "Poor bastard," he said softly, and then went on whistling again.

In a moment Lennie came crashing back through the brush (÷åðåç ìãíîâåíèå, ñ òðåñêîì ïðîëîìèâøèñü ñêâîçü êóñòû, âåðíóëñÿ Ëåííè; crash — ãðîõîò; òðåñê; to crash — ïðîèçâîäèòü êàêèå-ë. äåéñòâèÿ èëè äâèãàòüñÿ ñ ãðîõîòîì, òðåñêîì).

In a moment Lennie came crashing back through the brush. He carried one small willow stick in his hand. George sat up. "Awright," he said brusquely. "Gi'me that mouse!"
But Lennie made an elaborate pantomime of innocence. "What mouse, George? I ain't got no mouse."
George held out his hand. "Come on. Give it to me. You ain't puttin' nothing over."
Lennie hesitated, backed away, looked wildly at the brush line as though he contemplated running for his freedom. George said coldly, "You gonna give me that mouse or do I have to sock you?"
"Give you what, George?"
"You know God damn well what. I want that mouse."
Lennie reluctantly reached into his pocket. His voice broke a little. "I don't know why I can't keep it. It ain't nobody's mouse. I didn't steal it. I found it lyin' right beside the road."

George's hand remained outstretched imperiously. Slowly, like a terrier who doesn't want to bring a ball to its master, Lennie approached, drew back, approached again. George snapped his fingers sharply, and at the sound Lennie laid the mouse in his hand.
"I wasn't doin' nothing bad with it, George. Jus' strokin' it."
George stood up and threw the mouse as far as he could into the darkening brush, and then he stepped to the pool and washed his hands. "You crazy fool. Don't you think I could see your feet was wet where you went acrost the river to get it?" He heard Lennie's whimpering cry and wheeled about. "Blubberin' like a baby! Jesus Christ!

That mouse ain't fresh, Lennie; and besides, you've broke it pettin' it. You get another mouse that's fresh and I'll let you keep it a little while."

Lennie sat down on the ground (Ëåííè ñåë íà çåìëþ; to sit (sat)) and hung his head dejectedly (è óäðó÷åííî ïîíóðèë: «ïîâåñèë» ãîëîâó; to deject — ïîäàâëÿòü, óãíåòàòü).

George scoffed (Äæîðäæ óñìåõíóëñÿ; scoff — íàñìåøêà, èçäåâêà). "Lady, huh (äàìà, ãîâîðèøü)? Don't even remember who that lady was (íå ïîìíèøü äàæå, ÷òî ýòî áûëà çà äàìà).

"It wasn't no good to pet (åå íåïðèÿòíî áûëî ãëàäèòü)," said Lennie.

Lennie sat down on the ground and hung his head dejectedly. "I don't know where there is no other mouse. I remember a lady used to give 'em to me — ever' one she got. But that lady ain't here."
George scoffed. "Lady, huh? Don't even remember who that lady was. That was your own Aunt Clara. An' she stopped givin' 'em to ya. You always killed 'em."
Lennie looked sadly up at him. "They was so little," he said, apologetically. "I'd pet 'em, and pretty soon they bit my fingers and I pinched their heads a little and then they was dead — because they was so little.

The flame of the sunset lifted from the mountaintops (çàðåâî çàêàòà èñ÷åçëî ñ ãîðíûõ âåðøèí; to lift — ïîäíèìàòü; ïðîïàäàòü, èñ÷åçàòü /î ïðèðîäíûõ ÿâëåíèÿõ/) and dusk came into the valley (è â äîëèíó ñïóñòèëèñü: «ïðèøëè» ñóìåðêè), and a half darkness came in among the willows and the sycamores (à ñðåäè èâ è ñèêîìîðîâ /óæå/ áûë ïîëóìðàê).

Lennie went behind the tree (Ëåííè ïîøåë ê äåðåâó) and brought out a litter of dried leaves and twigs (è ïðèíåñ îõàïêó ñóõèõ ëèñòüåâ è âåòîê; to bring (brought); to litter — ïîäñòèëàòü; áûòü â áîëüøîì êîëè÷åñòâå).

The flame of the sunset lifted from the mountaintops and dusk came into the valley, and a half darkness came in among the willows and the sycamores. A big carp rose to the surface of the pool, gulped air and then sank mysteriously into the dark water again, leaving widening rings on the water. Overhead the leaves whisked again and little puffs of willow cotton blew down and landed on the pool's surface.
"You gonna get that wood?" George demanded. "There's plenty right up against the back of that sycamore. Floodwater wood. Now you get it."
Lennie went behind the tree and brought out a litter of dried leaves and twigs. He threw them in a heap on the old ash pile and went back for more and more. It was almost night now. A dove's wings whistled over the water. George walked to the fire pile and lighted the dry leaves. The flame cracked up among the twigs and fell to work. George undid his bindle and brought out three cans of beans. He stood them about the fire, close in against the blaze, but not quite touching the flame.

"There's enough beans for four men (áîáîâ çäåñü õâàòèò íà ÷åòâåðûõ)," George said.
Lennie watched him from over the fire (Ëåííè íàáëþäàë çà íèì, /ñòîÿ/ ïî äðóãóþ ñòîðîíó êîñòðà). He said patiently (îí ñêàçàë óïðÿìî; patience — òåðïåëèâîñòü; íàñòîé÷èâîñòü), "I like 'em with ketchup (ÿ ëþáëþ èõ ñ êåò÷óïîì)."
"Well, we ain't got any (íî ó íàñ åãî íåò)," George exploded (ðàññåðäèëñÿ: «âçîðâàëñÿ» Äæîðäæ). "Whatever we ain't got (åñëè ó íàñ ÷åãî íåò), that's what you want (ýòî êàê ðàç òî, ÷òî òû õî÷åøü).

"There's enough beans for four men," George said.
Lennie watched him from over the fire. He said patiently, "I like 'em with ketchup."
"Well, we ain't got any," George exploded. "Whatever we ain't got, that's what you want. God a'mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble.

"An' whatta I got," George went on furiously. "I got you! You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get. Jus' keep me shovin' all over the country all the time. An' that ain't the worst. You get in trouble. You do bad things and I got to get you out." His voice rose nearly to a shout. "You crazy son-of-a-bitch. You keep me in hot water all the time." He took on the elaborate manner of little girls when they are mimicking one another. "Jus' wanted to feel that girl's dress — jus' wanted to pet it like it was a mouse — Well, how the hell did she know you jus' wanted to feel her dress? She jerks back and you hold on like it was a mouse. She yells and we got to hide in a irrigation ditch all day with guys lookin' for us, and we got to sneak out in the dark and get outa the country. All the time somethin' like that — all the time. I wisht I could put you in a cage with about a million mice an' let you have fun." His anger left him suddenly. He looked across the fire at Lennie's anguished face, and then he looked ashamedly at the flames.

It was quite dark now (óæå ñîâñåì ñòåìíåëî), but the fire lighted the trunks of the trees (íî êîñòåð îñâåùàë ñòâîëû äåðåâüåâ) and the curving branches overhead (è êðèâûå âåòâè íàä ãîëîâîé). Lennie crawled slowly and cautiously around the fire (Ëåííè ïîïîëç ìåäëåííî è îñòîðîæíî âîêðóã êîñòðà) until he was close to George (ïîêà /íå îêàçàëñÿ/ ðÿäîì ñ Äæîðäæåì). He sat back on his heels (îí ïðèñåë íà êîðòî÷êè: «íà ïÿòêè»). George turned the bean cans (Äæîðäæ ïîâåðíóë áàíêè ñ áîáàìè) so that another side faced the fire (òàê ÷òîáû äðóãàÿ ñòîðîíà áûëà îáðàùåíà ê îãíþ; to face — ñòîÿòü ëèöîì ê). He pretended to be unaware of Lennie (îí ïðèòâîðèëñÿ, ÷òî íå çàìå÷àåò Ëåííè; aware — çíàþùèé, îñâåäîìëåííûé) so close beside him (/ïåðåñåâøåãî/ òàê áëèçêî ê íåìó).
"George," very softly (Äæîðäæ, /ïîçâàë Ëåííè/ î÷åíü òèõî). No answer (íåò îòâåòà). "George!"
"Whatta you want (÷åãî òåáå: «÷òî òû õî÷åøü»; whatta you = what do you)?"
"I was only foolin', George (ÿ ïðîñòî ïîøóòèë; to fool — äóðà÷èòüñÿ, çàáàâëÿòüñÿ). I don't want no ketchup (íå íóæåí ìíå íèêàêîé êåò÷óï). I wouldn't eat no ketchup if it was right here beside me (ÿ áû íå åë êåò÷óïà, äàæå åñëè áû
