In old times (в давние времена;
valley ['vælɪ], crusade [kru:'seɪd], prisoner ['prɪz(ə)nǝ]
In old times, a large forest covered the hills and valleys between the towns of Sheffield and York. Our story begins in this part of England when King Richard I, who had been away on a Crusade to the Holy Land, was being held prisoner in Austria.
Back in England (/тем временем/ в Англии: «обратно в Англии
ordinary ['ɔ:d(ə)nrɪ], Saxon ['sæks(ə)n], violent ['vaɪǝlǝnt]
Back in England, rich Norman noblemen were fighting each other to gain more power while the King was away. The ordinary Saxon people of England suffered in these violent times. They hoped that the King would soon return and bring peace back to the country.
One evening (однажды вечером), just as the sun was setting over the forest (как раз тогда, когда солнце садилось за лесом;
Norman ['nɔ:mǝn], swineherd ['swaɪnhǝ:d], beard [bɪǝd], knife [naɪf]
One evening, just as the sun was setting over the forest, two men stood in a big clearing, complaining loudly about the Normans. The older of the two men was a swineherd. He looked very wild with his thick hair and large beard, and in his belt he had a long knife and a horn. Around his neck he had a metal collar, like a dog's collar, on which it said, 'Gurth, the son of Beowulph, is born slave of Cedric of Rotherwood'.
The other man was a jester (другой мужчина был шутом;
jester ['dʒestǝ], jacket ['dʒækɪt], collar ['kɔlǝ]
The other man was a jester. He wore a bright purple and yellow jacket and a hat with bells on it. In his belt he had a wooden sword. Like his friend, the jester also had a collar around his neck, with the words, 'Wamba, son of Witless, is the slave of Cedric of Rotherwood' written on it.
Suddenly, the two men heard the sound of horses (вдруг двое мужчин услышали топот лошадей;
prior ['praɪǝ], knight [naɪt], chain mail ['ʧeɪn meɪl], Templar ['templǝ], cruel ['kru:ǝl]
Suddenly, the two men heard the sound of horses from among the trees behind them. A group of men came riding up to the swineherd and the jester. The first was the rich Prior Aymer, riding on a fat mule. Behind him came Brian de Bois-Guilbert, a Norman knight, who rode a big strong horse. He wore chain-mail under a red robe with the white cross of a Templar on it. He was followed by several cruel-looking Arab servants carrying his lance and shield.
"Can you tell us the way to Cedric the Saxon (можете ли вы указать нам дорогу к Седрику Саксу;
"The road isn't easy to find (дорогу нелегко найти), and Cedric goes to bed very early (и Седрик ложится спать очень рано;
"Don't argue with us, slave (не спорь с нами, раб)!" shouted the Templar angrily (закричал тамплиер гневно;
Cedric ['si:drɪk, 'sedrɪk], argue ['ɑ:ɡju:], angrily ['æŋɡrɪlɪ]
"Can you tell us the way to Cedric the Saxon?" the Prior asked Gurth and Wamba. "It is getting dark and we need somewhere to stay for the night."
"The road isn't easy to find, and Cedric goes to bed very early," answered Gurth.
"Don't argue with us, slave!" shouted the Templar angrily and was about to strike Gurth.
The Prior quickly stopped the Templar (приор быстро остановил тамплиера/храмовника).
"Now, brother (ну же, брат;
With a silver coin in his hand (с серебряной монетой в руке), the Prior turned to Wamba instead (приор обратился к Вамбе вместо этого;
"Tell us, good fellow, how do we get to Rotherwood (скажи нам, славный малый, как нам добраться: «как мы добираемся» до Ротервуда;
quickly ['kwɪklɪ], Palestine ['pælɪstaɪn], coin [kɔɪn]
The Prior quickly stopped the Templar.
"Now, brother," he said to the Templar, "you must not think that you are still in Palestine!"
With a silver coin in his hand, the Prior turned to Wamba instead.
"Tell us, good fellow, how do we get to Rotherwood?"
Wamba told him which road to take to Cedric's house (Вамба сказал ему, какую дорогу выбрать к дому Седрика;
When the riders had disappeared into the forest again (когда всадники скрылись в лесу снова;
Wamba grinned (Вамба ухмыльнулся;
disappear ['dɪsǝ'pɪǝ], direction [d(a)ɪ'rekʃ(ə)n], instead [ɪn'sted]
Wamba told him which road to take to Cedric's house and took the coin from the Prior's hand.
When the riders had disappeared into the forest again, Gurth turned to his friend and said, "If they follow your directions, they will certainly not get to our master's house!"
Wamba grinned. "No, but they may reach Sheffield instead, which is a better place for them."
As the Prior and the Templar rode on in the forest (пока приор и тамплиер ехали верхом по лесу;
clearly ['klɪǝlɪ], while [(h)waɪl], arrive [ǝ'raɪv]
As the Prior and the Templar rode on in the forest, it soon became too dark for them to see the road clearly. They stopped to ask a man sitting by the side of the road for directions to Cedric's house. The man said that he would show them the way himself, and after a short while they arrived at Rotherwood, the house of Cedric the Saxon.
"Who are you (кто вы)?" Prior Aymer asked the man (приор Эймер спросил у мужчины), whose face was hidden by the hood of his robe (чье лицо было скрыто капюшоном его одеяния;
"You seem to know this part of the forest well (вы, кажется, знаете эту часть леса хорошо)."
"I am only a poor pilgrim (я просто бедный пилигрим;
hidden [hɪd(ə)n], pilgrim ['pɪlgrɪm], holy ['hǝʋlɪ]
"Who are you?" Prior Aymer asked the man, whose face was hidden by the hood of his robe.
"You seem to know this part of the forest well."
"I am only a poor pilgrim who has just returned from the Holy Land," the man replied, and they went inside together as it started to rain.
Cedric was a proud old Saxon (Седрик был гордым старым саксом) with broad shoulders (с широкими плечами) and thick blond hair (и густыми светлыми волосами;
shoulder ['ʃǝʋldǝ], hair [hɛə], oak [ǝʋk], bench [benʧ], noisily ['nɔɪzɪlɪ]
Cedric was a proud old Saxon with broad shoulders and thick blond hair. He sat at the end of a heavy oak table in the great hall of his house. Three big hunting dogs lay at his feet. His men sat on long wooden benches and ate their supper noisily. They knew that their master was angry because his ward, the Lady Rowena, was late for supper, and his swineherd and jester had not yet returned from the forest.
Cedric was afraid that the two slaves (Седрик опасался, что эти двое слуг;
"Those Normans think that I am just a weak old man (те норманны думают, что я просто слабый старик: «старый мужчина»), but I will show them otherwise (но я покажу им, что это не так; otherwise
harm [hɑ:m], neighbour ['neɪbǝ], otherwise ['ʌðǝwaɪz]
Cedric was afraid that the two slaves might have been harmed by Reginald Front-de-Boeuf, one of his Norman neighbours.
"Those Normans think that I am just a weak old man, but I will show them otherwise," he said to himself in a low voice.
"Ah, Wilfred, Wilfred, my son (ах, Уилфрид, Уилфрид, мой сын), why could you not have controlled your passion (почему же ты не смог сдержать своей страсти;
He felt more sad than angry now (он чувствовал себя более печальным, чем рассерженным сейчас = теперь он более грустил, чем сердился;
passion ['pæʃ(ə)n], abroad [ǝ'brɔ:d], fight [faɪt]
"Ah, Wilfred, Wilfred, my son, why could you not have controlled your passion? And why did you go abroad to serve a Norman? You've left your old father alone to fight the Normans at home."
He felt more sad than angry now.
"And here come Prior Aymer and that Templar, Brian de Bois-Guilbert (и вот приезжают приор Эймер и этот тамплиер, Бриан де Буа-Гильбер)! Normans both of them (норманны, они оба)!" he exclaimed when the guests were announced (воскликнул он, когда было объявлено о приходе гостей;
exclaim [ɪk'skleɪm], guest [ɡest], announce [ǝ'naʋns], duty ['dju:tɪ]
"And here come Prior Aymer and that Templar, Brian de Bois-Guilbert! Normans both of them!" he exclaimed when the guests were announced. "But I know my duty as a host. Tell them that they are welcome at Rotherwood! I've heard that priors and Templars are fond of drinking, so bring out our best wine for our guests!"
Cedric invited the Prior and the Templar (Седрик пригласил приора и тамплиера) to sit beside him at the head of the table (сесть рядом с ним во главе стола;
beside [bɪ'saɪd], preferred [prɪ'fɜ:d], fireplace ['faɪǝpleɪs]
Cedric invited the Prior and the Templar to sit beside him at the head of the table. The pilgrim, however, said he preferred to have his supper standing by the great fireplace, away from all the other guests.
When Gurth and Wamba came into the great hall a little while later (когда Гурт и Вамба вошли в большой зал немного позже), the Templar recognized them from the forest (тамплиер узнал их /из леса = после встречи в лесу/;
"You will die a violent death one day (ты умрешь насильственной смертью когда-нибудь;
"I only made a small mistake (я только немного ошибся: «допустил маленькую ошибку»)," the jester replied. "Someone who asks a fool for directions (тот, кто спрашивает у дурака как добраться куда-либо) should be able to forgive that (должен уметь прощать это)."
recognize ['rekǝɡnaɪz], die [daɪ], death [deθ], continue [kǝn'tɪnju:], wrong [rɔŋ]
When Gurth and Wamba came into the great hall a little while later, the Templar recognized them from the forest.
"You will die a violent death one day," he said to Wamba, "if you continue to give wrong directions to travellers like you did tonight."
"I only made a small mistake," the jester replied. "Someone who asks a fool for directions should be able to forgive that."
Their conversation was interrupted (их разговор был прерван;
interrupt ['ɪntǝ'rʌpt], York [jɔ:k], Jew [dʒu:], allow [ǝ'laʋ]
Their conversation was interrupted when another visitor was announced. It was Isaac of York, an old Jew, who had been on his way to Ashby and had come in from the storm outside. Cedric welcomed the old man, but none of Cedric's men would allow a Jew to sit down beside them. Only the pilgrim offered the old man some food and drink over by the fireplace.
When the Lady Rowena came into the hall at last (когда леди Ровена вошла наконец в залу), everyone stood up (все встали). She was a tall young woman (это была высокая молодая женщина) with a beautiful face (с прекрасным лицом) and clear blue eyes (и ясными голубыми глазами;
beautiful ['bju:tɪf(ə)l], notice ['nǝʋtɪs], stare [stɛə], staring ['stɛ(ə)rɪŋ], beauty ['bju:tɪ]
When the Lady Rowena came into the hall at last, everyone stood up. She was a tall young woman with a beautiful face and clear blue eyes. The Prior noticed that the Templar was staring at her Saxon beauty.
He warned the Templar (он предупредил тамплиера) that Cedric had banished his own son (что Седрик изгнал своего родного сына;
warn [wɔ:n], banish ['bænɪʃ], ward [wɔ:d], royal ['rɔɪǝl], blood [blʌd]
He warned the Templar that Cedric had banished his own son for looking at Rowena in the same way. Cedric had promised his ward to Athelstane of Coningsburgh, a Saxon of royal blood. Nobody else, not even his own son, would be allowed to marry her.
As she sat down next to Cedric (когда она села /за стол/ рядом с Седриком), Rowena also noticed the Templar's look (Ровена тоже заметила взгляд тамплиера;
"What is the latest news from the Holy Land (каковы последние известия из святой земли)?" she asked the Templar.
blush [blʌʃ], veil [veɪl], news [nju:z]
As she sat down next to Cedric, Rowena also noticed the Templar's look. She blushed and covered her face with a veil.
"What is the latest news from the Holy Land?" she asked the Templar.
"Were there any knights (были ли там рыцари) who fought bravely at the side of our King (которые сражались смело на стороне нашего короля = рядом с нашим королем;
"Yes," replied the pilgrim from his dark corner beside the fireplace (ответил пилигрим из своего темного угла рядом с камином), "there were many very famous knights (там было много очень славных рыцарей;
fought [fɔ:t], corner ['kɔ:nǝ], famous ['feɪmǝs]
"Were there any knights who fought bravely at the side of our King?" asked Cedric. "Richard is a Norman, of course, but I'll have to forgive him for that."
"Yes," replied the pilgrim from his dark corner beside the fireplace, "there were many very famous knights who fought with our brave King, but none of them were Templars! One of the knights with King Richard was young and less well known, however, and I don't remember his name."
"I know who you mean (я знаю, кого вы имеете в виду;
challenge ['ʧælɪndʒ], tournament ['tʋǝnǝmǝnt, 'tɔ:-], coward ['kaʋǝd], Europe ['jʋ(ə)rǝp]
"I know who you mean," interrupted the Templar angrily. "It is Wilfred of Ivanhoe! If he were in England now, I would challenge him to fight against me in the tournament at Ashby in a few days. Otherwise, I will call him a coward in all of Europe!"
"I will speak for Ivanhoe (я скажу за Айвенго)," said Rowena proudly (сказала Ровена гордо), "and if he were here right now (и если бы он был здесь прямо сейчас), he would accept this challenge (то он бы принял этот вызов) and give this proud knight what he deserves (и воздал бы этому гордому рыцарю по заслугам;
"Rowena," said Cedric, "let us not discuss these things now (давай /мы/ не будем обсуждать это сейчас;
Everyone raised their cups together with Cedric (все подняли /свои/ чаши вместе с Седриком) and cheered for the Lady Rowena (и выпили за здоровье леди Ровены;
proudly ['praʋdlɪ], accept [ǝk'sept], deserve [dɪ'zǝ:v], honour ['ɔnǝ], raise [reɪz], cheer [ʧɪǝ]
"I will speak for Ivanhoe," said Rowena proudly, "and if he were here right now, he would accept this challenge and give this proud knight what he deserves!"
"Rowena," said Cedric, "let us not discuss these things now. Instead, everyone, let us all drink a cup of wine in honour of the Lady Rowena!"
Everyone raised their cups together with Cedric and cheered for the Lady Rowena.
That evening (тем же вечером), when the guests were being shown to their rooms at Rotherwood (когда гостей провожали в их комнаты в /замке/ Ротервуд;
"Unbelieving dog (неверующий пес)!" he said to Isaac. "So you are on your way to see the tournament at Ashby (значит, ты держишь путь в Эшби, чтобы посмотреть на рыцарский турнир)? I'm sure that you have a lot of money (я уверен, что у тебя есть много денег) hidden away somewhere (спрятанных где-то;
corridor ['kɔrɪdɔ:], unbelieving ['ʌnbɪ'li:vɪŋ], money ['mʌnɪ]
That evening, when the guests were being shown to their rooms at Rotherwood, the Templar stopped the old Jew in the corridor.
"Unbelieving dog!" he said to Isaac. "So you are on your way to see the tournament at Ashby? I'm sure that you have a lot of money hidden away somewhere."
"Money (денег)? But I am a poor man (но я бедный человек)!" exclaimed Isaac (воскликнул Исаак). "Even the clothes that I wear (даже одежда, которую я ношу) are borrowed from a friend (занята у друга;
"Liar (лжец)!" The Templar smiled sourly (тамплиер улыбнулся мрачно;
poor [pʋǝ], clothes [klǝʋ(ð)z], wear [wɛə], borrow ['bɔrǝʋ], liar ['laɪǝ], sourly ['saʋǝlɪ]
"Money? But I am a poor man!" exclaimed Isaac. "Even the clothes that I wear are borrowed from a friend."
"Liar!" The Templar smiled sourly and turned to say something in Arabic to his servants.
Later that same night (позже той же самой ночью), Isaac woke up to find the pilgrim leaning over his bed (Исаак проснулся и обнаружил, что пилигрим склоняется над его ложем;
fear [fɪǝ], afraid [ǝ'freɪd], danger ['deɪndʒǝ], Arabic ['ærǝbɪk], overheard ['ǝʋvǝ'hǝ:d], guide [ɡaɪd]
Later that same night, Isaac woke up to find the pilgrim leaning over his bed. The pilgrim saw that the old man shook with fear and quickly said, "Don't be afraid, I have come to warn you! Your life is in great danger. I understand Arabic, and this evening I overheard the Templar tell his men to kill you on the road to Ashby tomorrow. Let me guide you through the forest tonight so you can at least reach Sheffield safely."
The two men then went to the next room (двое мужчин затем пошли в соседнюю комнату;
Gurth was suspicious (Гурт что-то заподозрил: «был подозрительным»;
leave [li:v], suspicious [sǝ'spɪʃǝs], wait [weɪt]
The two men then went to the next room, where Gurth, the swineherd, slept.
"Wake up!" the pilgrim said to Gurth. "Open the gate for me and the Jew, so we can leave Rotherwood tonight."
Gurth was suspicious. "Like the other guests, you must wait till tomorrow before you can leave," he said, as Wamba entered the room.
"I think you cannot refuse to do me this favour (я думаю, что ты не можешь отказаться оказать мне эту услугу;
Gurth hurried to open the gate (Гурт поспешил открыть ворота) and let the pilgrim and Isaac out (и выпустил пилигрима и Исаака /из замка/;
refuse [rɪ'fju:z], favour ['feɪvǝ], whisper ['wɪspǝ], warn [wɔ:n], hurry ['hʌrɪ]
"I think you cannot refuse to do me this favour," said the pilgrim and whispered something in Gurth's ear. Gurth looked surprised and stared at the pilgrim. "But you must not tell anyone what I have just told you," the pilgrim warned.
Gurth hurried to open the gate and let the pilgrim and Isaac out. He even kissed the pilgrim's hand before the two visitors disappeared into the forest.
"You know, my good friend Gurth (знаешь ли, мой добрый друг Гурт)," said Wamba, who was confused (сказал смущенный Вамба: «сказал Вамба, который был смущен»;
"You can't always judge people by their appearance, Wamba (нельзя всегда судить о людях по их внешнему виду, Вамба;
confused [kǝn'fju:zd], religious [rɪ'lɪdʒǝs], judge [dʒʌdʒ], appearance [ǝ'pɪ(ə)rǝns]
"You know, my good friend Gurth," said Wamba, who was confused, "you seem strangely religious today, kissing the hand of the pilgrim like that."
"You can't always judge people by their appearance, Wamba," replied Gurth, and they went back inside.
Isaac followed the pilgrim through the dark forest (Исаак следовал за пилигримом по темному лесу) until they arrived at the top of a small hill (до тех пор пока они не пришли на вершину небольшого холма). The pilgrim pointed at the town of Sheffield (пилигрим указал на город Шеффилд;
"Not until you have the thanks of a poor Jew (только после того, как вы примете благодарности бедного еврея;
"I don't want anything from you (мне ничего не нужно от вас;
through [θru:], below [bɪ'lǝʋ], pay [peɪ]
Isaac followed the pilgrim through the dark forest until they arrived at the top of a small hill. The pilgrim pointed at the town of Sheffield below them in the valley and said to the old man, "Here we part."
"Not until you have the thanks of a poor Jew," said Isaac. "Let me pay you for your kind help."
"I don't want anything from you," answered the pilgrim.
"Forgive me for guessing (простите меня за предположение того;
The pilgrim turned and stared at the old Jew (пилигрим обернулся и уставился на старого еврея).
"What makes you think that (почему вы так думаете: «что заставляет вас думать так»;
"When you came to my room at Rotherwood (когда вы пришли в мою комнату в /замке/ Ротервуд), I noticed that you wore chain-mail under your pilgrim's robe (я обратил внимание, что на вас кольчуга под одеянием пилигрима;
guessing ['ɡesɪŋ], horse [hɔ:s], armour ['ɑ:mǝ], turn [tǝ:n]
"Forgive me for guessing what you want most at the moment. You wish for a horse and armour."
The pilgrim turned and stared at the old Jew.
"What makes you think that?"
"When you came to my room at Rotherwood, I noticed that you wore chain-mail under your pilgrim's robe."
Isaac quickly wrote some words on a piece of paper (Исаак быстро написал несколько слов на клочке бумаги;
"I have a rich friend in Leicester (у меня есть богатый друг в Лестере) who will give you his best horse and armour (который даст вам своего лучшего коня и доспехи) if you give him this letter from me (если вы отдадите ему это письмо от меня)."
The pilgrim thanked Isaac (пилигрим поблагодарил Исаака), and they parted (и они расстались), each taking a different road down to Sheffield (каждый из них отправился разной =
piece [pi:s], Leicester ['lestǝ], different ['dɪf(ə)rǝnt]
Isaac quickly wrote some words on a piece of paper. "I have a rich friend in Leicester who will give you his best horse and armour if you give him this letter from me."
The pilgrim thanked Isaac, and they parted, each taking a different road down to Sheffield.
While King Richard was away (пока король Ричард отсутствовал), the two-day tournament at Ashby (двухдневный рыцарский турнир в Эшби;
away [ǝ'weɪ], popular ['pɔpjʋlǝ], against [ǝ'ɡe(ɪ)nst]
While King Richard was away, the two-day tournament at Ashby was a very popular event in England. Rich and poor, Norman and Saxon, came to see the best knights in the country fight against each other in the lists at Ashby.
The winner of the tournament would have the honour (победителю турнира предоставлялась честь) of choosing the Queen of Love and Beauty (выбрать королеву любви и красоты) from among the ladies present (из присутствующих дам;
choose [ʧu:z], queen [kwi:n], present ['prez(ə)nt], gallery ['ɡælǝrɪ]
The winner of the tournament would have the honour of choosing the Queen of Love and Beauty from among the ladies present. The tournament was held by Prince John, the younger brother of the King, and the people cheered loudly when Prince John arrived and sat down in the royal gallery.
What the people of England didn't know (то, чего жители Англии не знали;
secretly ['si:krɪtlɪ], duke [dju:k], imprison [ɪm'prɪz(ə)n], ally ['ælaɪ], throne [θrǝʋn]
What the people of England didn't know was that Prince John was secretly paying the Duke of Austria to keep his brother imprisoned. He and his Norman allies were planning to take the throne from his brother and make himself the King of England instead.
As he sat down and waved to the crowd (когда он уселся и махал рукой толпе;
crowd [kraʋd], daughter ['dɔ:tǝ], nobleman ['nǝʋb(ə)lmǝn], complain [kǝm'pleɪn]
As he sat down and waved to the crowd, Prince John noticed that there was a loud discussion going on in one of the other galleries. Isaac of York had come to see the tournament together with his daughter, but the Norman noblemen in the front of the gallery were complaining loudly about letting a Jew sit next to them.
Isaac knew that he had nothing to fear from the Normans, however (Исаак знал, что ему было нечего бояться норманнов, несмотря ни на что), because Prince John and his allies were interested (потому что принц Джон и его сторонники были заинтересованы) in borrowing a lot of money from the Jews of York (в одалживании большого количества денег у евреев из Йорка;
knew [nju:], push [pʋʃ], frightened [fraɪtnd]
Isaac knew that he had nothing to fear from the Normans, however, because Prince John and his allies were interested in borrowing a lot of money from the Jews of York. So he pushed his way through the crowd, while his frightened daughter held on to his arm.
"That Jewess is perfectly beautiful (эта еврейка совершенно очаровательна;
"She is (так и есть: «она /красивая/»)," agreed the Prior (согласился приор). "But, my lord, you must remember she is a Jewess (но, милорд, вы должны помнить, что она еврейка;
"Who is she (кто она)?" the Prince shouted over to Isaac (принц крикнул Исааку;
"My daughter Rebecca, my lord (моя дочь Ревекка, милорд)," answered Isaac.
Jewess ['dʒu:ɪs], perfectly ['pǝ:fɪktlɪ], agree [ǝ'ɡri:]
"That Jewess is perfectly beautiful," Prince John said to Prior Aymer, who was sitting beside him.
"She is," agreed the Prior. "But, my lord, you must remember she is a Jewess."
"Who is she?" the Prince shouted over to Isaac. "Your wife or your daughter?"
"My daughter Rebecca, my lord," answered Isaac.
Prince John looked up at the people (принц Джон посмотрел /наверх/, на людей;
"Well, who is sitting over there at the back (ну, кто сидит там, позади = наверху)? Those lazy Saxons (те ленивые саксы)! Make room over there (потеснитесь и дайте место там;
lazy ['leɪzɪ], moneylender ['mʌnɪ"lendǝ], lovely ['lʌvlɪ]
Prince John looked up at the people seated at the back of the Norman gallery.
"Well, who is sitting over there at the back? Those lazy Saxons! Make room over there for my money-lender and his lovely daughter!"
The large Saxon man (тот крупный сакс: «саксонский мужчина»;
surprise [sǝ'praɪz], thought [θɔ:t], unready [ʌn'redɪ]
The large Saxon man to whom Prince John had just spoken looked surprised at the Prince, but he didn't move. He was Athelstane of Coningsburgh, and although he had royal Saxon blood in him, he was known to be slow in both thought and movement, and many people called him Athelstane the Unready instead.
Prince John was impatient (принц Джон был раздражен;
"That man over there is either asleep (тот мужчина там /он/ или спит;
He turned to a Norman knight (он повернулся =
"Go and poke that lazy Saxon with your lance, De Bracy (пойдите и ткните этого ленивого сакса вашим копьем, де Браси;
impatient [ɪm'peɪʃ(ə)nt], asleep [ǝ'sli:p], ignore [ɪɡ'nɔ:], lance [lɑ:ns]
Prince John was impatient.
"That man over there is either asleep or he is ignoring me!"
He turned to a Norman knight sitting on a horse near the royal gallery.
"Go and poke that lazy Saxon with your lance, De Bracy."
Maurice de Bracy rode over to the other gallery (Морис де Браси ускакал к другой галерее;
jump [dʒʌmp], sword [sɔ:d], prince [prɪns]
Maurice de Bracy rode over to the other gallery. He was just about to poke Athelstane, when Cedric, who was sitting next to the royal Saxon, jumped up and cut the tip of De Bracy's lance off with his sword. When Prince John saw this, he jumped up.
He was just about to threaten the Saxons again (он уже собирался пригрозить саксам снова;
threaten [θretn], clap [klæp], archer ['ɑ:ʧǝ], particularly [pǝ'tɪkjʋlǝlɪ]
He was just about to threaten the Saxons again, when he saw that the crowd was cheering and clapping for Cedric. One man, an archer who was standing near the royal gallery, was clapping particularly loudly. Prince John turned angrily to him and demanded to know what he was cheering for.
"I always enjoy a good fight (я всегда получаю удовольствие от хорошей схватки;
"We shall see how well you do yourself (мы увидим, как хорош ты в схватке сам), when we get to the archery competition (когда мы дойдем до соревнования лучников;
enjoy [ɪn'dʒɔɪ], archery ['ɑ:ʧərɪ], competition ['kɔmpɪ'tɪʃ(ə)n], dare [dɛə]
"I always enjoy a good fight," replied the archer.
"We shall see how well you do yourself, when we get to the archery competition at the end of the tournament," answered the Prince sourly and turned back to Cedric. "Meanwhile, you Saxons back there, stand up! The Jew has to sit among you! Let me see who dares to stop him!"
Cedric was certainly not about (Седрик уж точно не собирался;
"I will (я /осмелюсь/)!" he shouted (закричал он) and swung his wooden sword over his head (и взмахнул своим деревянным мечом над его головой;
certainly ['sǝ:tnlɪ], serious ['sɪ(ə)rɪǝs], trouble ['trʌb(ə)l], wooden [wʋdn]
Cedric was certainly not about to let Prince John tell him what to do, and there would have been serious trouble if Wamba hadn't jumped in between his master and Isaac.
"I will!" he shouted and swung his wooden sword over his head.
Pulling back from the jester's sword (отступая от меча шута;
"Give me a prize, Prince (дайте мне приз, принц)," said Wamba and came up to Prince John (сказал Вамба и подошел к принцу Джону).
"Who and what are you (кто ты и чем ты занимаешься;
"I am a jester (я шут)," answered Wamba. "I am Wamba, the son of Witless (я Вамба, сын Безмозглого)."
laugh [lɑ:f], prize [praɪz], witless ['wɪtlɪs]
Pulling back from the jester's sword, Isaac stepped back and fell down the steps of the gallery. The crowd, including the Prince and his Norman friends, laughed out loud at this sight.
"Give me a prize, Prince," said Wamba and came up to Prince John.
"Who and what are you?" asked the Prince, still laughing.
"I am a jester," answered Wamba. "I am Wamba, the son of Witless."
"Normans, make room for the Jew (норманны, потеснитесь и дайте место этому еврею) down in the front of the gallery (внизу, в первых рядах галереи)," Prince John shouted over to the Norman noblemen (принц Джон прокричал знатным норманнам;

"Normans, make room for the Jew down in the front of the gallery," Prince John shouted over to the Norman noblemen. "Come here, Isaac, and lend me a handful of money."
Afraid, Isaac went up to the Prince and gave him the money from a little bag on his belt.
Prince John threw the money to Wamba (принц Джон бросил деньги Вамбе), and turned to the Prior (и обернулся к приору).
"We are forgetting the Queen of Love and Beauty (мы забываем о королеве любви и красоты)! I hope it will be that beautiful Rebecca (я надеюсь, что ею станет эта прекрасная Ревекка). That would really make the Saxons angry (это действительно разозлит саксов;
"A Jewess (еврейка)!" Prior Aymer turned his eyes up in horror (приор Эймер поднял глаза к небу: «вверх» в ужасе). "If Bois-Guilbert wins the tournament (если Буа-Гильбер выиграет этот турнир), I think I know (мне кажется, я знаю) who he will choose to be the Queen of Love and Beauty (кого он выберет королевой любви и красоты)!"

Prince John threw the money to Wamba, and turned to the Prior. "We are forgetting the Queen of Love and Beauty! I hope it will be that beautiful Rebecca. That would really make the Saxons angry!"
"A Jewess!" Prior Aymer turned his eyes up in horror. "If Bois-Guilbert wins the tournament, I think I know who he will choose to be the Queen of Love and Beauty!"
Prince John gave the signal for the tournament to begin (принц Джон подал сигнал к началу турнира: «к тому, чтобы турнир начался»), and a herald came forward (и герольд вышел вперед;
Five Norman knights had already been chosen by the Prince (пять рыцарей-норманнов уже /заранее/ были выбраны принцем) to be the 'challengers' for the day (быть "зачинщиками" турнира /в тот день/;
signal ['sɪɡn(ə)l], herald ['herǝɪd], rule [ru:l], challenger ['ʧælɪndʒǝ], shield [ʃi:ld]
Prince John gave the signal for the tournament to begin, and a herald came forward to read out the tournament rules. Five Norman knights had already been chosen by the Prince to be the 'challengers' for the day. These five knights stood next to their tents at the end of the lists and held up their shields for everyone to see.
According to the rules (согласно правилам), these five challengers would have to fight (эти пятеро зачинщиков должны были сражаться) against any other knight (против любого другого рыцаря) who chose to fight against them (который захотел бы сражаться против них;
If he touched the shield with the back end of his lance (если он касался щита тупым концом своего копья;

According to the rules, these five challengers would have to fight against any other knight who chose to fight against them. A knight could choose to fight against one of the challengers by touching that challenger's shield with his lance.
If he touched the shield with the back end of his lance, the two knights would fight with their lances covered, so that there was no danger to the horses or riders.
If the knight touched the shield (/однако/, если же рыцарь касался щита) with the point of his lance, however (острием своего копья;
sharp [ʃɑ:p], weapon ['wepǝn], real [rɪǝl], winner ['wɪnǝ], receive [rɪ'si:v], war-horse ['wɔ:hɔ:s]
If the knight touched the shield with the point of his lance, however, the knights would fight against each other with sharp weapons, like in a real battle. At the end of the fighting, Prince John would announce the winner of the day's tournament. The winner would receive a war-horse as a prize and have the honour of naming the Queen of Love and Beauty.
On the second day of the tournament (на второй день турнира), all the knights would fight each other in two groups (все рыцари сражались другом с другом в двух группах = разделившись на два отряда) until Prince John announced the end of the tournament (до тех пор, пока принц Джон не объявит об окончании турнира;
tournament ['tʋǝnǝmǝnt, 'tɔ:-], group [ɡru:p], finally ['faɪnǝlɪ]
On the second day of the tournament, all the knights would fight each other in two groups until Prince John announced the end of the tournament. The Queen of Love and Beauty would then give a prize to the knight who had fought best on the second day. Finally, at the very end, there would be an archery competition.
The herald ended his announcement by shouting (герольд завершил свое объявление, прокричав;
announcement [ǝ'naʋnsmǝnt], death [deθ], glory ['ɡlɔ:rɪ], audience ['ɔ:dɪǝns]
The herald ended his announcement by shouting, "Love of ladies — death of knights — honour and glory to the brave!" The audience cheered and threw gold and silver coins down to him.
At the far end of the lists (в дальнем конце ристалища), there were already so many knights on horses (уже находилось так много рыцарей верхом /на конях/) that the audience could only see a sea of shining helmets (что зрители могли видеть только море сверкающих шлемов;
already [ɔ:l'redɪ], shining ['ʃaɪnɪŋ], helmet ['helmɪt]
At the far end of the lists, there were already so many knights on horses that the audience could only see a sea of shining helmets. With the eyes of the crowd on them, the first five knights rode forward to the tents of the five challengers.
Each knight touched the shield of one of the challengers (каждый рыцарь коснулся щита одного из зачинщиков) with the back end of his lance (тупым: «задним» концом своего копья) and rode back to the end of the lists (и поскакал назад, к /другому/ концу ристалища). The challengers, led by the Templar (зачинщики /турнира/, ведомые рыцарем храма = под предводительством тамплиера;
knight [naɪt], mounted ['maʋntɪd], opposite ['ɔpǝzɪt]
Each knight touched the shield of one of the challengers with the back end of his lance and rode back to the end of the lists. The challengers, led by the Templar, then mounted their horses and rode to the opposite end of the lists.
At the sound of the herald's trumpet (при звуках трубы герольда) the two sides galloped towards each other (противники: «две стороны» поскакали галопом =
trumpet ['trʌmpɪt], gallop ['ɡælǝp], towards [tǝ'wɔ:dz]
At the sound of the herald's trumpet the two sides galloped towards each other. The crowd heard the lances break and saw that the challengers had knocked four of the knights off their horses.
The challengers rode back to their tents (зачинщики турнира поскакали назад, к своим шатрам;
defeated [dɪ'fi:tɪd], successful [sǝk'sesf(ə)l], fellow ['felǝʋ]
The challengers rode back to their tents and the defeated knights dragged themselves out of the lists. A second and third group of knights came to fight against the challengers, but they were no more successful against the Templar and his fellow challengers.
When the crowd saw (когда толпа увидела = зрители увидели) that there were only three knights in the fourth group (что было только три рыцаря в четвертой группе), they became very quiet (они притихли: «они стали очень тихими»;
fourth [fɔ:θ], quiet ['kwaɪǝt], whisper ['wɪspǝ]
When the crowd saw that there were only three knights in the fourth group, they became very quiet, and whispered to each other that the Norman challengers were going to win the day's tournament.
Cedric the Saxon was very unhappy with the outcome (Седрик Сакс был очень недоволен исходом /турнира/;
"The day is against England, my lord (этот день неудачен для Англии: «против Англии» = сегодня Англия проиграла битву, мой господин;

unhappy[ʌn'hæpɪ], lord [lɔ:d], worth [wǝ:θ]
Cedric the Saxon was very unhappy with the outcome and he turned to Athelstane.
"The day is against England, my lord," he said to Athelstane. "Aren't you going to take up your lance?"
"I will fight tomorrow," replied Athelstane. "It is not worth it for me to fight today."
"Yes, it is better, but not easier (да, это лучше, но не легче;
hundred ['hʌndrǝd], understood ['ʌndǝ'stʋd], meant [ment]
"Yes, it is better, but not easier, to be the best man among a hundred, than to be the best man of two," said Wamba. Athelstane smiled at this, but Cedric understood what the jester meant and gave Wamba an angry look.
"Are there any more knights (есть ли еще рыцари) who will fight against these challengers (которые сразятся против этих зачинщиков турнира)?" shouted a herald from the tournament lists (крикнул герольд с арены турнира), but no one came forward (но никто не вышел вперед). Prince John began to talk to his friends (принц Джон начал говорить со своими друзьями) about giving the prize to Bois-Guilbert (о том, чтобы вручить приз Буа-Гильберу). With a single lance (одним /ударом/ копья;

"Are there any more knights who will fight against these challengers?" shouted a herald from the tournament lists, but no one came forward. Prince John began to talk to his friends about giving the prize to Bois-Guilbert. With a single lance, the Templar had knocked two knights off their horses and broken the lance of a third.
Trumpet music was already being played (трубные звуки уже зазвучали;
distance ['dɪst(ə)ns], unknown [ʌn'nǝʋn], picture ['pɪkʧǝ], disinherit ['dɪsɪn'herɪt]
Trumpet music was already being played in honour of the successful challengers, when suddenly a single trumpet could be heard in the distance. An unknown knight in full shining armour rode into the lists. On his shield there was a picture of a young oak tree pulled up by its roots and the word Desdichado, which is Spanish for Disinherited.
The crowd immediately started shouting to him (толпа тотчас же начала кричать ему) which one of the challengers' shields he should choose (чей из зачинщиков щит ему следовало бы выбрать), but the knight rode right up to Bois-Guilbert's tent (но рыцарь подскакал прямо к шатру Буа-Гильбера) and touched the Templar's shield with the point of his lance (и коснулся щита рыцаря храма /острым/ концом своего копья). This surprised everyone (это удивило всех), especially the Templar himself (особенно самого рыцаря храма), who had been standing carelessly by his tent (который /до этого/ непринужденно стоял у своего шатра;

The crowd immediately started shouting to him which one of the challengers' shields he should choose, but the knight rode right up to Bois-Guilbert's tent and touched the Templar's shield with the point of his lance. This surprised everyone, especially the Templar himself, who had been standing carelessly by his tent.
"Have you been to confession, today (был ли ты на исповеди сегодня;

"Have you been to confession, today," said the Templar, "since you don't value your life very much?"
"I am better prepared to meet death than you are," answered the Disinherited Knight.
"Then take your place and look at the sun for the last time, because tonight you will be sleeping in Paradise!'
"And I advise you to take a fresh horse and new lance, for you will need both!"
Brian de Bois-Guilbert changed his horse (Бриан де Буа-Гильбер сменил своего коня) and chose a new lance and shield (и выбрал новое копье и щит). He did not want to take any chances (ему не хотелось рисковать;
change [ʧeɪndʒ], chance [ʧɑ:ns], lightning ['laɪtnɪŋ]
Brian de Bois-Guilbert changed his horse and chose a new lance and shield. He did not want to take any chances against this unknown knight. The two knights then rode to the opposite ends of the lists. When the herald's trumpet sounded, they galloped towards each other with the speed of lightning.
Both of their lances broke at once (их копья разлетелись на обломки одновременно: «каждое из их копий сломалось одновременно»;
servant ['sǝ:v(ə)nt], silence ['saɪlǝns], breathe [bri:ð]
Both of their lances broke at once, and the knights were given time to get new lances from their servants. The audience shouted wildly when they saw how well the Disinherited Knight had done, but when the knights took their places again, there was a deep silence from the galleries, as if the crowd was afraid to breathe.
This time, the Templar hit the center of the Disinherited Knight's shield (на этот раз храмовник ударил в центр щита рыцаря Лишенного наследства), and he would have won the fight (и он выиграл бы поединок;
center ['sentǝ], stirrup ['stɪrǝp], ground [ɡraʋnd]
This time, the Templar hit the center of the Disinherited Knight's shield, and he would have won the fight if his own stirrup hadn't broken. Instead, he was thrown off his horse, and he fell onto the ground. Angrily, he drew his sword and waved it at the Disinherited Knight, who jumped off his horse with his sword already in his hand.
They were stopped by two heralds (они были остановлены двумя герольдами) who reminded them (которые напомнили им;
"We shall meet again (мы встретимся снова) where there is no one to separate us (когда не будет никого, кто смог бы помешать нам;
remind [rɪ'maɪnd], allow [ǝɪlaʋ], fighting ['faɪtɪŋ], separate ['sepǝreɪt]
They were stopped by two heralds who reminded them that the rules did not allow sword-fighting.
"We shall meet again where there is no one to separate us!" said the Templar angrily and walked back to his tent.
Prince John had no choice but to announce (у принца Джона не было никакого =
Two heralds asked the Disinherited Knight to take off his helmet (двое герольдов попросили рыцаря Лишенного наследства снять свой шлем;
"Does anyone know who this proud man is (кто-нибудь знает, кто этот гордый человек)?"

Prince John had no choice but to announce that the Disinherited Knight had won the first day of the tournament.
Two heralds asked the Disinherited Knight to take off his helmet in order to receive the prize from Prince John, but the Disinherited Knight refused. Prince John turned to his fellow Normans in the royal gallery.
"Does anyone know who this proud man is?"
"It might be the King (это может быть /сам/ король)," said Waldemar Fitzurse, one of Prince John's closest allies (сказал Вальдемар Фицурс, один из ближайших союзников принца Джона;
"What (что)!" Prince John exclaimed and turned as pale as death (воскликнул принц Джон и стал бледным как смерть;
might [maɪt], lion-hearted ['laɪǝn'hɑ:tɪd], exclaim [ɪk'skleɪm]
"It might be the King," said Waldemar Fitzurse, one of Prince John's closest allies. "It might be King Richard the Lionhearted himself!"
"What!" Prince John exclaimed and turned as pale as death. He shook as if he had been struck by lightning.
"It cannot be the King (это не может быть король)," said De Bracy calmly (сказал де Браси спокойно). "Look at him more closely, and you will see (взгляните на него более внимательно и вы увидите;
Prince John could see that this was true (принц Джон увидел, что это была правда), and he presented the war-horse to the Disinherited Knight (и он подарил боевого коня рыцарю Лишенному наследства).

"It cannot be the King," said De Bracy calmly. "Look at him more closely, and you will see that your brother is a much bigger man than this knight."
Prince John could see that this was true, and he presented the war-horse to the Disinherited Knight.
"Sir Disinherited Knight (сэр рыцарь Лишенный наследства)," he said, "since that is the only name by which we know you (раз это единственное имя, под которым мы знаем вас), you may now choose the Queen of Love and Beauty (вы можете сейчас выбрать королеву любви и красоты). If you are a stranger to our country (если вы чужак в нашей стране;
sir [sǝ], stranger ['streɪndʒǝ], crown [kraʋn]
"Sir Disinherited Knight," he said, "since that is the only name by which we know you, you may now choose the Queen of Love and Beauty. If you are a stranger to our country, may I suggest the daughter of one of our Norman noblemen." He hung a gold crown on the tip of the Knight's lance.
The Disinherited Knight rode straight past all of the blushing Norman ladies (рыцарь лишенный наследства проскакал прямо мимо всех зардевшихся норманнских дам;
"Long live the Lady Rowena, the Queen of Love and Beauty (да здравствует леди Ровена, королева любви и красоты;
As he turned to leave (когда он повернулся, чтобы уйти), Prince John's eyes fell on the archer (взор принца Джона упал на того самого лучника) who had made him angry earlier (который разгневал его раньше).
"Do not let that man leave Ashby (не дайте этому человеку покинуть Эшби)," he told his guards angrily (он сказал своим стражникам сердито;
straight [streɪt], blushing ['blʌʃɪŋ], guard [ɡɑ:d]
The Disinherited Knight rode straight past all of the blushing Norman ladies and stopped in front of the Lady Rowena, laying the crown at her feet.
"Long live the Lady Rowena, the Queen of Love and Beauty!" shouted the tournament crowd.
As he turned to leave, Prince John's eyes fell on the archer who had made him angry earlier.
"Do not let that man leave Ashby," he told his guards angrily.
When the Disinherited Knight reached his tent (когда рыцарь Лишенный наследства добрался до своего шатра;
"Gurth," said the Knight, "thank you for coming to help me here (спасибо, что пришел помочь мне здесь). I was afraid that someone might recognize you (я боялся, что кто-нибудь может узнать тебя;

When the Disinherited Knight reached his tent, he spoke to his servant, a man in a big black robe.
"Gurth," said the Knight, "thank you for coming to help me here. I was afraid that someone might recognize you."
"I am not afraid of being recognized by anyone except my old friend Wamba," answered Gurth.
"Take this bag of gold to Ashby (возьми =
Gurth took the bag (Гурт взял кошель) and went off to the town of Ashby (и ушел в город Эшби), where he found Isaac and gave him the money (где он нашел Исаака и отдал ему деньги).

At sunrise the next day (на утренней заре следующего дня;
sunrise ['sʌnraɪz], busy ['bɪzɪ], judge [dʒʌdʒ]
At sunrise the next day, the heralds were already busy writing down the names of the hundred knights who were going to take part in the second day's battle. According to the tournament rules, the Disinherited Knight would lead one side, and the Templar, who was judged to be second-best in the fighting the day before, would lead the other side.
Around ten o'clock (около десяти часов), the heralds blew their trumpets (герольды затрубили в трубы;
When Cedric arrived with the Lady Rowena a moment later (когда Седрик прибыл с леди Ровеной мгновением позже), he was very surprised to see (он был очень удивлен, увидев) that Athelstane had joined the side of the Templar (что Ательстан присоединился к стороне рыцаря храма). Athelstane had secretly been very angry (Ательстан втайне был очень рассержен) to see the Disinherited Knight choose Rowena as the Queen of Love and Beauty the day before (увидев, что рыцарь Лишенный наследства выбрал Ровену королевой любви и красоты накануне;
arrival [ǝ'raɪv(ə)l], surprise [sǝ'praɪz], join [dʒɔɪn], determined [dɪ'tǝ:mɪnd], punish ['pʌnɪʃ]
Around ten o'clock, the heralds blew their trumpets to announce the arrival of Prince John.
When Cedric arrived with the Lady Rowena a moment later, he was very surprised to see that Athelstane had joined the side of the Templar. Athelstane had secretly been very angry to see the Disinherited Knight choose Rowena as the Queen of Love and Beauty the day before. He was therefore determined to punish the Knight for this in the fighting.
When Prince John saw (когда принц Джон увидел) that the Queen of the tournament had arrived (что королева турнира уже прибыла), he rode forward to meet her (он поскакал /вперед/ навстречу ей: «чтобы встретить ее») and led her to sit beside him in the royal gallery (и повел ее, чтобы посадить ее рядом с собой в королевской галерее;
A herald read out the rules for the second day of the tournament (один герольд зачитал правила второго дня турнира;

When Prince John saw that the Queen of the tournament had arrived, he rode forward to meet her and led her to sit beside him in the royal gallery.
A herald read out the rules for the second day of the tournament: Apart from their lances, this time the knights would also be allowed to use swords and battle-axes. If a knight had been knocked off his horse, he could continue fighting on foot, but a mounted horseman would not be allowed to attack him. The fighting would stop as soon as Prince John gave the signal.
The knights rode into the lists (рыцари въехали /верхом/ на ристалище) and formed two groups of fifty men (и образовали две группы по пятьдесят человек;
upright ['ʌpraɪt], brightly ['braɪtlɪ], lower ['lǝʋǝ]
The knights rode into the lists and formed two groups of fifty men at opposite ends of the lists. They held their lances upright and the points shone brightly in the sun. When the heralds blew their trumpets, all the knights lowered their lances and galloped towards the center of the lists.
The noise could be heard a mile away (шум /сражения/ можно было слышать за милю /от ристалища/;
noise [nɔɪz], cloud [klaʋd], hoof [hu:f]
The noise could be heard a mile away, and for several minutes no one in the audience could see anything through the great cloud of dust that had been raised by the horses' hoofs. When the dust had settled again, half of the knights were lying on the ground. Some of them quickly jumped to their feet while others, who were wounded more seriously, were struggling to get out of the lists.
The mounted knights (конные рыцари), whose lances had almost all been broken (чьи копья были почти что все сломаны), continued fighting with their swords (продолжали сражаться на мечах), shouting out war-cries (выкрикивая боевые кличи;
mounted ['maʋntɪd], war cry ['wɔ:kraɪ], blood [blʌd], favourite ['feɪv(ə)rɪt]
The mounted knights, whose lances had almost all been broken, continued fighting with their swords, shouting out war-cries, which were repeated by the excited audience. Soon their shining armour was completely covered in blood and dust. The ladies in the audience clapped and shouted, "Brave lance! Good sword!" to their favourite knights.
"Fight on, brave knights (продолжайте драться, храбрые рыцари;
As the lists slowly became less and less crowded (пока ристалище медленно =
fight [faɪt], death [deθ], defeat [dɪ'fi:t]
"Fight on, brave knights!" shouted the heralds. "Man dies, but glory lives! Fight on, death is better than defeat! Fight on, brave knights!"
As the lists slowly became less and less crowded, the audience could see that the Disinherited Knight and the Templar had finally met and were fighting each other.
Front-de-Boeuf and Athelstane saw this too (Фрон-де-Бёф и Ательстан тоже увидели это), and they rode up from behind the Templar (и они выехали /верхом/ из-за /спины/ тамплиера) in order to attack the Disinherited Knight from both sides at the same time (для того, чтобы напасть на рыцаря Лишенного наследства с обеих сторон в одно и то же время = одновременно;
"Beware (берегитесь;
Templar ['templǝ], attack [ǝ'tæk], beware [bɪ'wɛə]
Front-de-Boeuf and Athelstane saw this too, and they rode up from behind the Templar in order to attack the Disinherited Knight from both sides at the same time.
"Beware! Beware, Sir Disinherited!" the crowd shouted out to the Disinherited Knight.
Hearing them (услышав их), he managed to strike at the Templar (ему удалось нанести удар рыцарю храма;
sharply ['ʃɑ:plɪ], cause [kɔ:z], each [i:ʧ], other ['ʌðǝ]
Hearing them, he managed to strike at the Templar while pulling his own horse back sharply, thereby causing Athelstane and Front-de-Boeuf to ride into each other between himself and the Templar.
As the three knights recovered (пока эти трое рыцарей приходили в себя;
recover [rɪ'kʌvǝ], war-horse ['wɔ:hɔ:s], escape [ɪ'skeɪp], wounded ['wu:ndɪd] weight [weɪt]
As the three knights recovered, the Disinherited Knight rode off across the lists. Since he was riding on the war-horse that he had won the day before, he easily escaped from the Templar, whose horse was wounded, and the other two knights, whose horses were tired from the weight of their heavy riders.
At the edge of the lists (в конце ристалища), he turned his horse around again (он снова повернул своего коня;
edge [edʒ], obvious ['ɔbvɪəs], outnumber [aʋt'nʌmbǝ], unfair [ʌn'fɛə]
At the edge of the lists, he turned his horse around again and fought against all three knights with his sword. It was obvious to everyone, however, that he was outnumbered and would be defeated very soon. The noblemen around Prince John agreed that this was unfair and asked the Prince to signal the end of the tournament.
"No, by the light of Heaven (нет, клянусь светом небес;
During the battle in the lists that day (во время сражения на ристалище в тот день;
heaven ['hev(ə)n], reply [rɪ'plaɪ], turn [tǝ:n]
"No, by the light of Heaven!" replied Prince John. "This knight who hides his name has already won one prize. Now he should let others have their turn!"
During the battle in the lists that day, there had been a knight in black armour on a strong black horse who had started on the side of the Disinherited Knight.
He seemed to take very little interest (казалось, что он был очень мало заинтересован;
carefully ['keəf(ə)lɪ], avoid [ǝ'vɔɪd], sluggard ['slʌɡəd]
He seemed to take very little interest in what was taking place in the lists and carefully avoided fighting anyone himself. The audience thought he was being very lazy and called him the Black Sluggard.
Suddenly, however, when he saw (внезапно, однако, когда он увидел) that the leader of his side was outnumbered (что предводитель его стороны /отступает/ под превосходящими силами противника), he shouted (он закричал), "Desdichado, to the rescue! ("Desdichado, /иду/ на выручку!";
suddenly ['sʌd(ə)nlɪ], leader ['li:dǝ], rescue ['reskju:]
Suddenly, however, when he saw that the leader of his side was outnumbered, he shouted, "Desdichado, to the rescue!" and rode over to help the Disinherited Knight. With his sword, he struck Front-de-Boeuf so hard on the helmet that the Norman knight and his horse rolled onto the ground.
Then the Black Knight grabbed the battle-axe from Athelstane (затем Черный рыцарь выхватил алебарду у Ательстана;
grab [ɡræb], ground [ɡraʋnd], care [kɛə]
Then the Black Knight grabbed the battle-axe from Athelstane and knocked the Saxon knight to the ground with it. Leaving the Disinherited Knight to take care of the Templar himself, the Black Knight then calmly rode out of the lists.
By this time, the Templar's horse had lost so much blood (к тому времени конь рыцаря храма потерял так много крови;
caught [kɔ:t], unable[ʌn'eɪb(ə)l], fallen ['fɔ:lən], surrender [sǝ'rendǝ]
By this time, the Templar's horse had lost so much blood that it rolled to the ground. The Templar's foot was caught in one of the stirrups, and for a moment he was unable to free himself from the fallen horse. The Disinherited Knight jumped off his horse and waved his sword over the Templar's head, ordering the Templar to surrender.
Just at this moment Prince John gave the signal (как раз в этот момент принц Джон подал знак) for the battle to end (чтобы битва закончилась).
Prince John could not bring himself to announce (принц Джон не мог заставить себя объявить;
battle [bætl], suggest [sǝ'dʒest], surely ['ʃʋəlɪ]
Just at this moment Prince John gave the signal for the battle to end.
Prince John could not bring himself to announce that the Disinherited Knight had won the second day of the tournament as well. Instead, he suggested the winner should be the Black Knight, without whose help the Disinherited Knight would surely have been killed.
But the mysterious Black Knight could not be found anywhere (но таинственного Черного рыцаря не могли найти нигде: «…не мог быть найден нигде»;
"Disinherited Knight," said Prince John, "since that is the only title you have given us (раз это единственный титул, который вы сообщили нам;
mysterious [mɪ'stɪ(ə)rɪəs], anywhere ['enɪwɛə], title [taɪtl]
But the mysterious Black Knight could not be found anywhere, and Prince John had to announce the Disinherited Knight as the winner of the second day as well.
"Disinherited Knight," said Prince John, "since that is the only title you have given us, we now announce you as the winner of the tournament for the second day. You may now receive your prize from the Queen of Love and Beauty."
The Disinherited Knight rode over (рыцарь Лишенный наследства подскакал) and got off his horse in front of the royal gallery (и спрыгнул с коня перед королевской ложей/галереей;
try [traɪ], tried [traɪd], weak [wi:k], blond [blɔnd], bloody ['blʌdɪ]
The Disinherited Knight rode over and got off his horse in front of the royal gallery. The Lady Rowena was about to place a crown on his helmet when a herald shouted, "This time he must take his helmet off!" The Disinherited Knight tried to stop him but he was too weak. His helmet was removed by the herald, and the crowd saw the blond hair and bloody face of a young man of about twenty-five.
When Rowena saw his face (когда Ровена увидела его лицо), she cried out (она вскрикнула;
shaking ['ʃeɪkɪŋ], banish ['bænɪʃ], rush [rʌʃ]
When Rowena saw his face, she cried out, and shaking, she placed the crown on his head. The Knight bent down to kiss her hand but fell forward to the ground. The crowd cried out, and Cedric, who had been surprised at the sight of his banished son, rushed forward.
The heralds, however, had guessed the reason for the knight's fall (герольды, однако, догадались о причине падения рыцаря;
The name of Ivanhoe flew through the audience (имя Айвенго пронеслось среди зрителей;
"My lords (господа;
guess [ɡes], remove [rɪ'mu:v], reach [ri:ʧ], presence ['prez(ə)ns]
The heralds, however, had guessed the reason for the knight's fall, and got to him first. They removed his armour and found the tip of a lance in his side.
The name of Ivanhoe flew through the audience, and it soon reached Prince John.
"My lords," he said and looked around him, "I thought I felt the presence of one of my brother's knights."
"Now Front-de-Boeuf will have to give the land that you gave him (теперь Фрон-де-Бёфу придется отдать землю, которую вы дали ему;
"I have the right to reward my allies (я имею право вознаграждать своих союзников;
reward [rɪ'wɔ:d], wander ['wɔndǝ], foreign ['fɔrɪŋ]
"Now Front-de-Boeuf will have to give the land that you gave him back to Ivanhoe," said De Bracy.
"I have the right to reward my allies, instead of those who wander off to foreign countries together with my brother."
"Ivanhoe will not cause any trouble (Айвенго не доставит никаких хлопот;
"Whatever happens to him (чтобы с ним не случилось), he is the winner of the tournament (он победитель турнира), and his wounds must be taken good care of (и о его ранах должно хорошенько позаботиться;

"Ivanhoe will not cause any trouble and won't want his land back from Front-de-Boeuf," said Waldemar Fitzurse. "I've just heard from the heralds that he is seriously wounded."
"Whatever happens to him, he is the winner of the tournament, and his wounds must be taken good care of!" Prince John added with an evil smile. "Let our own royal doctor take care of him."
But Fitzurse told the Prince (но Фицурс сказал принцу) that Ivanhoe had already been carried out of the lists (что Айвенго уже был унесен с ристалища;
"I really admire the way (я действительно восхищаюсь тем;
"We shall cheer her up then (тогда мы должны утешить ее;
admire [ǝd'maɪǝ], sorrow ['sɔrǝʋ], cheer [ʧɪǝ], marry ['mærɪ]
But Fitzurse told the Prince that Ivanhoe had already been carried out of the lists by some of his friends.
"I really admire the way the Lady Rowena hid her sorrow, when she saw Ivanhoe fall down before her," Fitzurse added.
"We shall cheer her up then," replied the Prince, "and marry her to a Norman. What do you say, De Bracy? How would you like to have her and her land?"
"She is very beautiful (она очень красивая), and I would be happy to take her as my wife (и я был бы счастлив взять ее в жены)."
"Well, then she is yours, De Bracy (что ж, тогда она твоя, де Браси)."
A message was handed to Prince John by a servant (какое-то послание было вручено принцу Джону слугой;
"Where is this from (откуда это)?" the Prince demanded (принц потребовал /ответа/;
"From abroad (из-за границы)," replied the servant (ответил слуга), and Prince John read it (и принц Джон прочел его /послание/). "Beware, the Devil is free (берегитесь, черт свободен)!" it said (говорилось в нем: «говорило оно»). The Prince turned pale (принц побледнел) and handed the message to De Bracy (и вручил/передал послание де Браси). "It means that my brother (это означает, что мой брат) has been released from his prison in Austria (был освобожден из /его/ тюрьмы в Австрии;
message ['mesɪdʒ], demand [dɪ'mɑ:nd], release [rɪ'li:s], prison ['prɪz(ə)n], Austria ['ɔ:strɪǝ]
"She is very beautiful, and I would be happy to take her as my wife."
"Well, then she is yours, De Bracy."
A message was handed to Prince John by a servant.
"Where is this from?" the Prince demanded.
"From abroad," replied the servant, and Prince John read it. "Beware, the Devil is free!" it said. The Prince turned pale and handed the message to De Bracy. "It means that my brother has been released from his prison in Austria," he added in a weak voice.
As Prince John recovered from the news of his brother's release (когда принц Джон пришел в себя от новости об освобождении /своего/ брата;
"You (ты)! Come here (пойди сюда)! What is your name (как тебя зовут)?"
"Locksley (Локсли)," replied the archer (ответил лучник).

As Prince John recovered from the news of his brother's release, the trumpets announced the start of the archery competition, and more than thirty archers took their places in the lists. Prince John soon found the archer from the day before.
"You! Come here! What is your name?"
"Locksley," replied the archer.
"Watch this man closely (следите за этим человеком внимательно;
A target was placed at the far end of the lists (мишень была установлена в дальнем =

"Watch this man closely," Prince John said to his Norman friends. "See how his heart is sinking already. He knows he is going to lose the competition!"
A target was placed at the far end of the lists. As Prince John and Locksley watched, each archer shot three arrows at the target.
At this distance (с этого расстояния), only ten arrows hit the target (только десять стрел попали в мишень; to
"Now, Locksley (ну же, Локсли)," said Prince John, "will you try to compete against this archer (попытаешься ли ты состязаться с этим лучником;

At this distance, only ten arrows hit the target, but a man named Hubert hit the center ring twice and was declared to be the best among them.
"Now, Locksley," said Prince John, "will you try to compete against this archer or will you give up?"
"I will try on one condition (я попытаюсь при одном условии;
"This is fair (это по-честному;

"I will try on one condition: if I shoot at this man's target, he will have to shoot at my target afterwards."
"This is fair," said the Prince, and the target was replaced with a fresh one. Hubert placed an arrow on his bowstring and took very careful aim at the target, measuring the distance with his eyes.
He then took a step forward (затем он сделал шаг вперед; to
"You forgot to pay attention to the wind (ты забыл обратить внимание на ветер = ты забыл учесть ветер;
forward ['fɔ:wəd], exactly [ɪɡ'zæktlɪ], attention [ǝ'tenʃ(ə)n], otherwise ['ʌðəwaɪz]
He then took a step forward and drew the bowstring right back to his ear. The arrow flew through the air and hit the inner ring of the target, but not exactly in the centre.
"You forgot to pay attention to the wind," Locksley said. "Otherwise it would have been a much better shot."
While speaking, he walked up beside Hubert (пока /он/ говорил, он подошел /и встал рядом с/ Губертом;
"By the light of Heaven (клянусь светом небесным)!" exclaimed Prince John (воскликнул принц Джон). "Shoot your best, man (сделай свой лучший выстрел, приятель;

While speaking, he walked up beside Hubert and shot an arrow so carelessly, it seemed he hadn't looked at the target at all. The arrow landed in the target a bit closer to the center than Hubert's arrow.
"By the light of Heaven!" exclaimed Prince John. "Shoot your best, man," he said to Hubert, "or you will be in trouble!"
Hubert stepped forward (Губерт шагнул вперед), and paying careful attention to the wind this time (и, обращая тщательное внимание на ветер на этот раз), shot an arrow right into the center of the target (выпустил стрелу прямо в центр мишени). The tournament crowd cried out (толпа, /присутствующая на турнире/ закричала), "Hubert! Hubert!"
"You cannot shoot better than that (ты не сможешь сделать выстрел лучше, чем этот)," the Prince said to Locksley with an evil smile (принц сказал Локсли со зловещей улыбкой).

Hubert stepped forward, and paying careful attention to the wind this time, shot an arrow right into the center of the target. The tournament crowd cried out, "Hubert! Hubert!"
"You cannot shoot better than that," the Prince said to Locksley with an evil smile.
Aiming a little more carefully this time (прицелившись немного более тщательно на этот раз), Locksley split Hubert's arrow right down the middle (Локсли расщепил стрелу Губерта прямо посередине;
"And now (а теперь)," he said, "we will shoot at the kind of target (мы будем стрелять в тот вид мишени;

Aiming a little more carefully this time, Locksley split Hubert's arrow right down the middle. "And now," he said, "we will shoot at the kind of target that I am used to!" He went to a nearby tree and cut down a branch that was six feet long and as thick as a man's thumb. He placed it in the ground next to the other target and came back.
"I will not shoot at anything (я не буду стрелять в то;
"Cowardly dog (трусливый пес;

"I will not shoot at anything that I am sure to miss," said Hubert, looking at the branch. "I might as well shoot at a piece of straw or at a sunbeam, because I can hardly see that target from here!"
"Cowardly dog!" said Prince John. "Locksley, if you can hit that, then I shall say you are the first man ever to do so."
"I will do my best (я сделаю все возможное)," said Locksley and took careful aim at the branch (сказал Локсли и тщательно прицелился в ветку). As the audience watched (пока зрители наблюдали), he released his arrow (он выпустил стрелу;
"You have won the archery prize (ты выиграл приз лучников;

"I will do my best," said Locksley and took careful aim at the branch. As the audience watched, he released his arrow and split the branch. Even Prince John had to admit that it was a good shot.
"You have won the archery prize," the Prince said, "and I will pay you twice as much if you will become my royal bodyguard."
"Pardon me, noble Prince (простите меня, благородный принц)," said Locksley, "but I have promised myself (но я пообещал себе) that if I ever serve anyone (что если я когда-нибудь и буду служить кому-либо;
Before Prince John could reply (прежде, чем принц Джон смог ответить), Locksley disappeared into the crowd (Локсли скрылся в толпе;
pardon ['pɑ:dn], promise ['prɔmɪs], serve [sǝ:v], disappear ['dɪsǝ'pɪǝ]
"Pardon me, noble Prince," said Locksley, "but I have promised myself that if I ever serve anyone, it will be your royal brother, King Richard. Give the prize to Hubert instead. If he hadn't refused to shoot, he would have hit the branch as well."
Before Prince John could reply, Locksley disappeared into the crowd.
After the Black Knight had left the tournament at Ashby (после того, как Черный рыцарь покинул рыцарский турнир в Эшби), he rode north for many hours (он скакал на север много часов) through the great forest (через огромный лес). Towards evening (/ближе/ к вечеру;
north [nɔ:θ], towards [tǝ'wɔ:dz], forest ['fɔrɪst]
After the Black Knight had left the tournament at Ashby, he rode north for many hours through the great forest. Towards evening, the Knight started to look for a place to spend the night. The sun, which the Knight had used for directions, had already set behind the Derbyshire hills to his left, and it soon became too dark for him to see the forest road.
Instead, he let his horse find its own way (вместо этого он позволил своему коню искать свой собственный путь), and it took him to a little hut by a stream (и тот привел его к небольшой лачуге у ручья;
ruin ['ru:ɪn], chapel ['ʧæp(ə)l], tired ['taɪəd]
Instead, he let his horse find its own way, and it took him to a little hut by a stream. Near the hut were the ruins of a very old chapel, where the roof had fallen in long ago. The Knight got off his tired horse and knocked on the door to the hut.
"Go away, whoever you are (убирайся, кто бы ты ни был;
"Father, I am a poor traveller (отец, я бедный странник;
"Go away, you are interrupting my prayers (убирайся, ты прерываешь мои молитвы;

"Go away, whoever you are," said a voice from within.
"Father, I am a poor traveller who is lost in this forest, and I would like to spend the night here."
"Go away, you are interrupting my prayers."
"The road — the road (дорога)!" said the Knight. "Give me directions for the road, at least (дай мне указания =
"The road is easy to find (дорогу легко найти). Go through the swamp (иди через болото;
road [rǝʋd], swamp [swɔmp], across [ǝ'krɔs], cliff [klɪf]
"The road — the road!" said the Knight. "Give me directions for the road, at least. That is all I expect."
"The road is easy to find. Go through the swamp, across the deep river, and then along the top of a cliff'"
"A swamp (болото) — a deep river (глубокая река) — a cliff (крутой обрыв)!" exclaimed the Knight (воскликнул рыцарь). "What kind of directions are they to follow at night (что это за указания /дороги/ такие, чтобы следовать им в ночи)! Either open the door for me (или открой мне дверь), or I will knock it down myself (или я сломаю ее сам;

"A swamp — a deep river — a cliff!" exclaimed the Knight. "What kind of directions are they to follow at night! Either open the door for me, or I will knock it down myself!" The Knight kicked the door violently.
"Be patient (будь терпелив;
patient ['peɪʃ(ə)nt], monk [mʌŋk], politely [pǝ'laɪtlɪ], invite [ɪn'vaɪt], outlaw ['aʋtlɔ:]
"Be patient, be patient," said the voice, and the door flew open. A fat monk rushed out angrily. When he saw the big man in armour in front of his hut, the monk politely invited the Knight inside and said he had been afraid that it was an outlaw.
The Knight looked around inside the hut (рыцарь огляделся /вокруг/ внутри лачуги).
"You are so poor (ты настолько беден) that outlaws cannot possibly be interested in stealing from you (что грабителям нечего, наверное, воровать у тебя: «что грабители не могут быть, наверное, заинтересованы в воровстве у тебя»;
The Knight took off his helmet (рыцарь снял свой шлем), and the monk saw his thick blond hair and brave face (и монах увидел его светлые волосы и храброе лицо).
"What is your name (как вас зовут: «какое ваше имя»)?" the monk asked the Knight (монах спросил у рыцаря).
"I am known around here as the Black Knight (я известен здесь как Черный рыцарь). But some people call me the Black Sluggard (но некоторые люди называют меня Черным Бездельником)."

The Knight looked around inside the hut.
"You are so poor that outlaws cannot possibly be interested in stealing from you."
The Knight took off his helmet, and the monk saw his thick blond hair and brave face.
"What is your name?" the monk asked the Knight.
"I am known around here as the Black Knight. But some people call me the Black Sluggard."
The monk smiled at this (монах улыбнулся на это) and offered the Knight some dry bread (и предложил рыцарю немного сухого хлеба = сухарей;
"It seems to me (сдается мне: «мне кажется») that you are doing rather well on this (что ты прекрасно поправляешься на этом;
dry [draɪ], bread [bred], stream [stri:m], hungry ['hʌŋɡrɪ]
The monk smiled at this and offered the Knight some dry bread and some water from the stream. He told the Black Knight that as a monk, this was all he was allowed to eat. The Black Knight, who was very hungry, looked down at the food and back at the fat monk.
"It seems to me that you are doing rather well on this. But I think there is some better food in this hut!"
The monk looked at the smile on the Knight's face (монах взглянул на улыбку на лице рыцаря) and went to get some better food and good wine (и отправился достать немного еды получше и хорошего вина). The Black Knight started eating and drinking (Черный рыцарь начал есть и пить) while the monk watched (в то время как монах наблюдал /за ним/). After a while the Knight looked up at the monk and said (через некоторое время рыцарь взглянул на монаха и сказал), "I have spent some time in Palestine (я провел некоторое время в Палестине;
watch [wɔʧ], custom ['kʌstəm], together [tǝ'ɡeðǝ]
The monk looked at the smile on the Knight's face and went to get some better food and good wine. The Black Knight started eating and drinking while the monk watched. After a while the Knight looked up at the monk and said, "I have spent some time in Palestine, and it is the custom there that the host always eats and drinks together with his guests."
"To make you feel better (чтобы вы почувствовали себя лучше;
"Well, you certainly are the most mysterious monk (что ж, ты действительно самый таинственный монах) I have ever met (которого я когда-либо встречал)," replied the Knight (ответил рыцарь), but soon they were happily eating (но вскоре они со счастливым видом/весело ели;

"To make you feel better," said the monk, "I will forget that I am a monk and join you."
"Well, you certainly are the most mysterious monk I have ever met," replied the Knight, but soon they were happily eating, drinking and singing songs together.
When Cedric saw his son fall down in the tournament lists (когда Седрик увидел, что его сын упал на турнирной арене), his first instinct was to tell his servants (его первым побуждением: «инстинктом» было приказать своим слугам;
instinct ['ɪnstɪŋkt], unable [ʌn'eɪb(ə)l], order ['ɔ:dǝ], ordered ['ɔ:dəd]
When Cedric saw his son fall down in the tournament lists, his first instinct was to tell his servants to go and take care of Ivanhoe. But Cedric found he was unable to speak these words about his disinherited son in front of the crowd. Instead, he ordered his men to keep an eye on Ivanhoe and take him to the town of Ashby when the tournament was over.
The servants found the bloody spot (слуги обнаружили кровавое пятно;
fallen ['fɔ:lən], audience ['ɔ:dɪəns], discovery [dɪs'kʌv(ə)rɪ]
The servants found the bloody spot where Ivanhoe had fallen, but they could not find Ivanhoe himself. They were told that a rich lady from the audience had arranged for him to be taken away from the tournament lists. Cedric was angry at this news, and the discovery that Gurth had gone missing during the tournament made him even angrier.
He decided to return to Rotherwood that same evening (он решил вернуться в Ротервуд тем же самым вечером) together with the Lady Rowena and Athelstane (вместе с леди Ровеной и Ательстаном). It was dangerous to travel through the forest at night (было опасно путешествовать через лес ночью) as outlaws were known to attack and rob lonely travellers (так как было известно, что разбойники нападали на одиноких путешественников и грабили /их/; to
dangerous ['deɪndʒərəs], lonely ['lǝʋnlɪ], themselves [ðəm'selvz]
He decided to return to Rotherwood that same evening together with the Lady Rowena and Athelstane. It was dangerous to travel through the forest at night as outlaws were known to attack and rob lonely travellers. Cedric hoped that the outlaws, who were mainly poor Saxons themselves, would not attack fellow Saxons.
When the little group had travelled through the forest for a while (когда небольшой отряд ехал по лесу уже некоторое время;
mule [mju:l], litter ['lɪtǝ], wring [rɪŋ]
When the little group had travelled through the forest for a while, they came upon some mules and a litter on the road. Isaac was walking back and forth, wringing his hands while his daughter sat next to the litter.
Isaac quickly explained to them (Исаак быстро объяснил им) that he had paid some men to guide him (что он заплатил неким людям, чтобы те проводили его;
"Please allow a poor Jew to travel with you (пожалуйста, позвольте бедному еврею поехать с вами;

Isaac quickly explained to them that he had paid some men to guide him, his daughter, and a sick friend back through the forest. Instead, the men had taken his money and horses and left them there on the road.
"Please allow a poor Jew to travel with you!" he begged Cedric.
"We had better leave some of our servants with them (мы лучше оставим несколько наших слуг с ними) to take them to the next town (/чтобы они/ доставили их в ближайший город; next
Rebecca, however, went to Rowena and said (Ревекка, однако, подошла к Ровене и сказала), "This is not for myself (это не для меня = я прошу не за себя) but for the sake of someone very dear to many (но ради кого-то =
better ['betǝ], leave [li:v], dear [dɪǝ], least [li:st]
"We had better leave some of our servants with them to take them to the next town," Cedric said, and Athelstane agreed.
Rebecca, however, went to Rowena and said, "This is not for myself but for the sake of someone very dear to many, and dear to even you. Please, at least take the sick person in the litter with you."
"The man is old and weak (этот человек стар и слаб)," Rowena said to Cedric, "the woman is young and beautiful (эта женщина молода и красива), and their friend is apparently very sick (и их друг, по-видимому, очень болен). We cannot leave them here (мы не можем оставить их здесь)."
Cedric agreed to let them travel with them (Седрик согласился позволить им ехать вместе с ними), but Athelstane added (а Ательстан добавил), "They can only come (они могут ехать /с нами/ только /в том случае/;
friend [frend], apparently [ǝ'pærəntlɪ], protect [prǝ'tekt]
"The man is old and weak," Rowena said to Cedric, "the woman is young and beautiful, and their friend is apparently very sick. We cannot leave them here."
Cedric agreed to let them travel with them, but Athelstane added, "They can only come if they travel right at the back of the group, where Wamba can protect them with his wooden sword."
"I lost my weapon in the lists (я потерял свое оружие на ристалище) like so many other knights (так же, как и большинство: «так много» других рыцарей)," said Wamba, and Athelstane blushed (сказал Вамба, а Ательстан покраснел) because this had happened to him (оттого, что это случилось и с ним).
Slowly, the group continued together (медленно группа продолжила =
weapon ['wepən], continue [kən'tɪnju:], heard [hǝ:d]
"I lost my weapon in the lists like so many other knights," said Wamba, and Athelstane blushed because this had happened to him.
Slowly, the group continued together along the road in the dark, when they suddenly heard war-cries from every side.
A group of men dressed in green (группа =
swung [swʌŋ], prisoner ['prɪz(ə)nǝ], carry ['kærɪ]
A group of men dressed in green rushed out from behind the trees. Cedric bravely swung his sword at them, but his sword hit a branch over his head, and he was knocked off his horse and taken prisoner. Athelstane was taken prisoner before he could even reach for his weapon. Of the others, Wamba alone escaped by quickly throwing himself off his horse and running as fast as his legs could carry him through the dark forest.
As he ran (пока он бежал), Wamba suddenly heard a voice near him (Вамба неожиданно услышал какой-то голос рядом с собой).
"Gurth!" he cried out when he saw his old friend (вскричал он, когда он увидел своего старого друга). "What are you doing here (что ты здесь делаешь)?"
"What has happened (что случилось)?" Gurth said. "What are these shouts and the sound of sword-fighting (что это за крики и звуки схватки на мечах)?"
happen ['hæpən], shout [ʃaʋt], sound [saʋnd]
As he ran, Wamba suddenly heard a voice near him. "Gurth!" he cried out when he saw his old friend. "What are you doing here?"
"What has happened?" Gurth said. "What are these shouts and the sound of sword-fighting?"
"They have all been taken prisoner by outlaws (их всех взяли в плен разбойники: «они все были взяты в плен разбойниками»)! Our master was too ready to fight (наш господин был готов сражаться;
"Let's rescue Cedric (давай спасем Седрика)," said Gurth. "Follow me (иди за мной;
master ['mɑ:stǝ], enough [ɪ'nʌf], rescue ['reskju:]
"They have all been taken prisoner by outlaws! Our master was too ready to fight, Athelstane was not ready enough, and no one else was ready at all!"
"Let's rescue Cedric," said Gurth. "Follow me!" Gurth led his friend to a man who also wore the green clothes of an outlaw.
Wamba recognized him as Locksley (Вамба узнал в нем Локсли: «узнал его как Локсли»), the archer who had won the archery competition at Ashby (того самого лучника, который выиграл соревнования лучников в Эшби). Gurth quickly explained what Wamba had told him to Locksley (Гурт быстро объяснил Локсли, что рассказал ему Вамба).
"Who is taking prisoners in this forest (кто это берет пленников в этом лесу)?" Locksley asked Wamba.
"I didn't see their faces (я не видел их лиц), but they wore green clothes like yourself (но на них была зеленая одежда, как и на тебе)," answered Wamba suspiciously (ответил Вамба подозрительно/с подозрением;
recognize ['rekəɡnaɪz], explain [ɪk'spleɪn], suspiciously [sǝ'spɪʃəslɪ]
Wamba recognized him as Locksley, the archer who had won the archery competition at Ashby. Gurth quickly explained what Wamba had told him to Locksley.
"Who is taking prisoners in this forest?" Locksley asked Wamba.
"I didn't see their faces, but they wore green clothes like yourself," answered Wamba suspiciously.
"I'll find out who they are (я выясню, кто они такие;
"I have seen the men (я видел тех людей). I know who they are (я знаю, кто они) and where they are going (и куда они направляются). Come with me (идите со мной), and we will rescue your master (и мы выручим вашего хозяина)!"
disappear ['dɪsǝ'pɪǝ], after ['ɑ:ftǝ], minute ['mɪnɪt]
"I'll find out who they are. Stay here!" said Locksley and disappeared into the trees. He came back after a few minutes.
"I have seen the men. I know who they are and where they are going. Come with me, and we will rescue your master!"
The two men followed Locksley through the forest (двое мужчин пошли за Локсли по лесу). After three hours of walking (после трех часов ходьбы), they came to a big clearing (они пришли к большой поляне;
clearing ['klɪ(ə)rɪŋ], moonlight ['mu:nlaɪt], bow [bǝʋ]
The two men followed Locksley through the forest. After three hours of walking, they came to a big clearing with a large old oak tree in the middle. Five men were sleeping under the tree while another man walked back and forth in the moonlight. The next moment, all six men had drawn their bows and were pointing their arrows at Wamba and Gurth. When they recognized Locksley, they lowered their bows again.
"Where is everyone (где все)?" Locksley asked his men (Локсли спросил у мужчин). "Gather as many of our men as you can find (соберите так много наших людей, как сможете найти) and meet me here again at dawn (и встречайте меня здесь снова на рассвете)! Two of you go to Front-de-Boeuf's castle, Torquilstone (двое из вас =
Locksley took Gurth and Wamba to the monk's hut (Локсли привел Гурта и Вамбу к хижине монаха).

"Where is everyone?" Locksley asked his men. "Gather as many of our men as you can find and meet me here again at dawn! Two of you go to Front-de-Boeuf's castle, Torquilstone, and watch it carefully. Some men disguised as us are taking a group of prisoners there. Meanwhile, we three will go and get the monk."
Locksley took Gurth and Wamba to the monk's hut.
Wamba looked at the ruined chapel (Вамба взглянул на разрушенную часовню) and little hut in the moonlight (и маленькую хижину при лунном свете). When they heard loud drinking songs (когда они услышали громкие застольные песни;
ruined ['ru:ɪnd], drinking-song ['drɪŋkɪŋsɔŋ], whisper ['wɪspǝ]
Wamba looked at the ruined chapel and little hut in the moonlight. When they heard loud drinking songs coming from inside the hut, Wamba whispered to Gurth, "Is this where the monk lives? I never expected to hear such songs from a monk's hut at midnight."
Locksley knocked on the door of the hut (Локсли постучал в дверь хижины).
"I hear some more guests, Sir Sluggard (я слышу еще гостей, сэр Бездельник)!" the monk shouted from inside (монах прокричал за /дверью/: «изнутри»;
"There are some people (есть некоторые люди) I would rather face with my helmet on (которых я бы предпочел встретить, надев шлем;
guest [ɡest], inside [ɪn'saɪd], enemy ['enəmɪ]
Locksley knocked on the door of the hut.
"I hear some more guests, Sir Sluggard!" the monk shouted from inside. "They may be enemies of yours, of course."
"There are some people I would rather face with my helmet on," said the Knight. He laughed loudly while he put his helmet on and picked up his weapons.
"Well, get your iron pot on your head then, Sluggard, my friend (что ж, надень свой железный горшок на /свою/ голову тогда, Бездельник, мой друг;
The two of them heard a voice from outside (они двое услышали голос снаружи;
"Mad monk, open the door to me, Locksley (сумасшедший монах, открой дверь мне, Локсли)!"
"All is safe — it's all right (все безопасно — все в порядке;
iron ['aɪən], outside ['aʋtsaɪd], safe [seɪf]
"Well, get your iron pot on your head then, Sluggard, my friend!"
The two of them heard a voice from outside.
"Mad monk, open the door to me, Locksley!"
"All is safe — it's all right," said the monk to the Knight and opened the door.
"We need every one of our men, Friar Tuck (нам нужен каждый из наших людей, брат Тук;
"Not know him (не знаю его)!" said Friar Tuck. "Why, I have known him for a long time (ба, да я знаю его очень давно: «в течение долгого времени»)!"
"And what is his name, then (как же его зовут, в таком случае)?" asked Locksley.
friar ['fraɪǝ], invite [ɪn'vaɪt], known [nǝʋn]
"We need every one of our men, Friar Tuck," Locksley said. He looked at the Knight suspiciously. "Are you mad, monk! You invited a Norman knight whom you don't even know into your hut?"
"Not know him!" said Friar Tuck. "Why, I have known him for a long time!"
"And what is his name, then?" asked Locksley.
"His name," said the monk, "his name is Sir Anthony of Scrabelstone (его зовут сэр Энтони Скрэблстон)! As if I would drink with a man (будто бы я /стал/ пить с человеком) without knowing his name (не зная, как его зовут)!"
"You have already drunk more than enough, Friar Tuck (ты уже выпил более чем достаточно, брат Тук)." Locksley quickly explained the situation to the monk (Локсли быстро объяснил ситуацию монаху;
without [wɪ'ðaʋt], situation ['sɪʧʋ'eɪʃ(ə)n], therefore ['ðeəfɔ:]
"His name," said the monk, "his name is Sir Anthony of Scrabelstone! As if I would drink with a man without knowing his name!"
"You have already drunk more than enough, Friar Tuck." Locksley quickly explained the situation to the monk. "Therefore, we are going to attack the castle of Front-de-Boeuf," he said.
"What (что)!" exclaimed the Black Knight (воскликнул Черный рыцарь). "Is Front-de-Boeuf taking prisoners in the king's forest (Фрон-де-Бёф берет пленников в королевском лесу)!"
"Aren't you the knight who helped the Saxons (не тот ли вы рыцарь, который помог саксам) against the Normans at the tournament at Ashby today (/в схватке/ с норманнами на турнире в Эшби сегодня)?" Locksley asked. "I think you must be a friend of the poor and the weak (я думаю, вы, должно быть, друг бедных и слабых). You are a friend of England (вы друг Англии). Will you help us attack Torquilstone (поможете ли вы нам напасть на /замок/ Торкилстон)?"
friend [frend], poor [pʋǝ], weak [wi:k], attack [ǝ'tæk]
"What!" exclaimed the Black Knight. "Is Front-de-Boeuf taking prisoners in the king's forest!"
"Aren't you the knight who helped the Saxons against the Normans at the tournament at Ashby today?" Locksley asked. "I think you must be a friend of the poor and the weak. You are a friend of England. Will you help us attack Torquilstone?"
"I will (помогу;
"I am also a friend of my country (я тоже друг своей страны)," said the outlaw (ответил разбойник), and they set off together (и они отправились в путь вместе;
worth [wǝ:θ], country ['kʌntrɪ], outlaw ['aʋtlɔ:]
"I will! There is no one to whom England and the lives of every Englishman is worth more than to me," replied the Knight. "But who are you?"
"I am also a friend of my country," said the outlaw, and they set off together to meet the others back at the oak tree.
Meanwhile, the mysterious attackers (тем временем таинственные разбойники: «напавшие»;
"Now you should leave us, Sir Maurice (теперь вам следует оставить нас, сэр Морис)," the Templar said to De Bracy (рыцарь храма сказал де Браси). "Then you can come back for the second part of your plan (затем вы можете вернуться для /выполнения/ второй части вашего плана) and rescue Rowena from her 'attackers' (и спасти Ровену от "напавших" на нее)."
meanwhile ['mi:nwaɪl], discuss [dɪs'kʌs], second ['sekənd]
Meanwhile, the mysterious attackers were taking their prisoners through the forest. They did not know the way through the forest very well, and they got lost several times. As the sun rose, the two leaders of the attackers discussed their plans.
"Now you should leave us, Sir Maurice," the Templar said to De Bracy. "Then you can come back for the second part of your plan and rescue Rowena from her 'attackers'."
"I've changed my mind (я передумал;
change [ʧeɪndʒ], arrive [ǝ'raɪv], because [bɪ'kɔz; bɪkəz]
"I've changed my mind. I won't leave you until I have arrived at Torquilstone together with my prize," answered De Bracy. "Then I will go to the Lady Rowena and explain everything. I'm sure she will understand that I only did this because of my love for her."
"What made you change your plan, De Bracy (что заставило вас изменить свой план, де Браси;
"You mean the beautiful Jewess (вы имеете в виду прекрасную еврейку)! I would have thought you were more interested in the old man's money than in his daughter (я бы подумал, что вы более заинтересованы в деньгах старика, чем в его дочери)."
lovely ['lʌvlɪ], thought [θɔ:t], interested ['ɪntrɪstɪd]
"What made you change your plan, De Bracy? I hope you weren't suspicious of me? The Lady Rowena is very beautiful, but I have a prize among the prisoners who is as lovely as your own."
"You mean the beautiful Jewess! I would have thought you were more interested in the old man's money than in his daughter."
"Well, I like both (что ж, мне нравится и то и другое). But the old Jew is only half a prize (но старый еврей — это только половина трофея). Front-de-Boeuf is not lending us his castle for nothing (Фрон-де-Бёф не предоставляет нам свой замок за бесплатно;
both [bǝʋθ], half [hɑ:f], share [ʃɛə]
"Well, I like both. But the old Jew is only half a prize. Front-de-Boeuf is not lending us his castle for nothing, so I'm afraid we will have to share the old man's money with him."
Soon they reached Torquilstone (вскоре они добрались до Торкилстона), the castle of Front-de-Boeuf (замка Фрон-де-Бёфа). The castle was surrounded by a deep moat (замок был окружен глубоким рвом;
surround [sǝ'raʋnd], moat [mǝʋt], barbican ['bɑ:bɪkən], drawbridge ['drɔ:brɪdʒ]
Soon they reached Torquilstone, the castle of Front-de-Boeuf. The castle was surrounded by a deep moat, which could only be crossed by passing through a barbican and going across a drawbridge.
As the Norman knights came closer with their prisoners (когда рыцари-норманны подошли поближе /к замку/ со своими пленниками), the drawbridge was lowered (подъемный мост был опущен), and they rode into the courtyard of the castle (и они въехали /верхом/ во внутренний двор замка). Here, the prisoners were separated (здесь пленников разделили;
courtyard ['kɔ:tjɑ:d], separate ['sepəreɪt], dungeon ['dʌndʒən]
As the Norman knights came closer with their prisoners, the drawbridge was lowered, and they rode into the courtyard of the castle. Here, the prisoners were separated and taken to different parts of the castle. Isaac begged the guards to let his daughter go, but instead they took Rebecca away, and dragged Isaac down to the dungeon.
"I hope they won't forget (я надеюсь, они не забудут) to send us some food and some wine (прислать нам немного еды и вина;
starve [stɑ:v], wine [waɪn], already [ɔ:l'redɪ]
"I hope they won't forget to send us some food and some wine," said Athelstane when he and Cedric were alone in one of the halls of Torquilstone. "I'm starving already!"
When a guard came with some food at last (когда стражник пришел с пищей наконец;
threw [θru:], mouth [maʋθ], challenge ['ʧælɪndʒ], dozen ['dʌz(ə)n], garlic ['ɡɑ:lɪk]
When a guard came with some food at last, Athelstane threw himself on it. With his mouth full of food, he told the guard to let Front-de-Boeuf know that he challenged him to fight anywhere, anytime. "I would fight a dozen men like Front-de-Boeuf," Athelstane added to Cedric, "if it would get me out of a prison where they put so much garlic in their food!"
At that moment, they heard the sound of a horn in the distance (в этот момент они услышали звук /охотничьего/ рожка вдалеке;
horn [hɔ:n], distance ['dɪst(ə)ns], window ['wɪndǝʋ]
At that moment, they heard the sound of a horn in the distance. Cedric and Athelstane rushed to the window, but all they could see was the courtyard of the castle.
In the meantime, Isaac of York was down in the dark dungeon of Torquilstone (тем временем Исаак из Йорка находился внизу, в темном подземелье Торкилстона). It was very cold and damp (оно было очень холодное и сырое;
damp [dæmp], air [ɛə], light [laɪt]
In the meantime, Isaac of York was down in the dark dungeon of Torquilstone. It was very cold and damp, because the dungeon was deeper than even the moat itself. There were only two small holes at the top of the wall for air and light.
Isaac could see a small fire burning in the far corner (Исаак мог видеть небольшой огонь, горевший в дальнем углу /подземелья/;
burn [bǝ:n], burning ['bǝ:nɪŋ], rusty ['rʌstɪ], chain [ʧeɪn]
Isaac could see a small fire burning in the far corner and some rusty chains attached to the dungeon wall next to him. In the dim light, he could see that there were two human legbones still in the chains. He sat down in a corner, folded his hands and waited.
Three hours later (три часа спустя), he heard heavy footsteps outside the door (он услышал тяжелые шаги за дверью;
footstep ['fʋtstep], figure ['fɪɡǝ], doorway ['dɔ:weɪ]
Three hours later, he heard heavy footsteps outside the door. When he saw the large figure of Front-de-Boeuf standing in the doorway in front of him, Isaac started to shake with terror.
"I want a thousand pounds of silver (я хочу тысячу фунтов серебром;
"Have mercy on me, noble knight (пощадите меня, благородный рыцарь;
pound [paʋnd], scale [skeɪl], release [rɪ'li:s], mercy ['mǝ:sɪ]
"I want a thousand pounds of silver," Front-de-Boeuf said with a deep voice. Slowly, the Knight came closer to the old man, and threw a scale at his feet. "Otherwise you will never be released from my dungeon."
"Have mercy on me, noble knight!" exclaimed Isaac. "I am old and poor and helpless."
"You may be old (ты, может быть, и стар), but everyone knows that you are rich (но каждый знает, что ты богат)! Prisoners who were ten thousand times more important than you (пленники, которые были в десять тысяч раз важнее, чем ты;
thousand ['θaʋz(ə)nd], important [ɪm'pɔ:t(ə)nt], lie down ['laɪ'daʋn]
"You may be old, but everyone knows that you are rich! Prisoners who were ten thousand times more important than you have died here in this dungeon. Can you see those iron bars over the fire in that corner? If you refuse to bring me the money, the guards will make you lie down on them as if it were a bed!"
Isaac looked over at the fire (Исаак взглянул на огонь) and back at the Norman knight (и затем снова на рыцаря-норманна).
"That is impossible (это невозможно)! The good God never made a heart so cruel (милосердный Бог никогда не создавал сердца настолько жестокого;
"Don't be so sure, Isaac (не будь столь уверен, Исаак)," said the Norman with a cold smile (сказал норманн с холодной улыбкой;
Front-de-Boeuf's guards came in (стражники Фрон-де-Бёфа вошли) and started to drag Isaac towards the fire (и начали тащить =
impossible [ɪm'pɔsəb(ə)l], cruel ['kru:əl], cold [kǝʋld]
Isaac looked over at the fire and back at the Norman knight. "That is impossible! The good God never made a heart so cruel!"
"Don't be so sure, Isaac," said the Norman with a cold smile. "Guards! Grab him!"
Front-de-Boeuf's guards came in and started to drag Isaac towards the fire.
"I will pay (я заплачу)!" cried Isaac (закричал Исаак). "I will pay! I'll go and get the money in York (я пойду и возьму деньги в Йорке), but let the other prisoners go first (но отпусти других пленников сначала;
"No."
"Can I at least take my wounded friend with me (могу ли я, по меньшей мере, взять своего раненого друга с собой)?"
"No, Jew."
"Let my daughter go to York for me, then (позвольте моей дочери поехать в Йорк вместо меня, в таком случае)."
"Your daughter?" asked Front-de-Boeuf, surprised (спросил Фрон-де-Бёф удивленно). "I wish I had known before (жаль, что я не знал раньше: «как бы мне хотелось, чтобы я знал раньше») that she was your daughter (что она твоя дочь)! I've already given her to the Templar (я уже отдал ее храмовнику)."

"I will pay!" cried Isaac. "I will pay! I'll go and get the money in York, but let the other prisoners go first."
"No."
"Can I at least take my wounded friend with me?"
"No, Jew."
"Let my daughter go to York for me, then."
"Your daughter?" asked Front-de-Boeuf, surprised. "I wish I had known before that she was your daughter! I've already given her to the Templar."
Isaac cried out so loudly (Исаак закричал так громко) that the guards let go of him in surprise (что охранники выпустили его /из рук/ от удивления
"Take what you asked for (возьмите то, чего вы потребовали;
loudly ['laʋdlɪ], knee [ni:], unless[ʌn'les, ən-]
Isaac cried out so loudly that the guards let go of him in surprise. Dropping to the ground, Isaac grabbed the knees of Front-de-Boeuf.
"Take what you asked for — take ten times more — but let me keep my daughter! I will not pay anything unless my daughter is safe!"
"Are you mad (ты сошел с ума)? Aren't you afraid of the fire (разве ты не боишься огня)?" Front-de-Boeuf gave his men the signal (Фрон-де-Бёф подал своим людям знак) to put Isaac on the red-hot iron bars (положить Исаака на раскаленную докрасна железную решетку;
mad [mæd], red-hot ['red'hɔt], upstairs ['ʌp'steəz]
"Are you mad? Aren't you afraid of the fire?" Front-de-Boeuf gave his men the signal to put Isaac on the red-hot iron bars. Just at that moment, they heard the sound of the horn in the distance. Voices from above called for Front-de-Boeuf, and the Knight told his guards to let go of Isaac and follow him upstairs.
At the same time, De Bracy had entered the room (в то же самое время де Браси вошел в комнату) where the Lady Rowena had been taken (в которую леди Ровена была приведена). He greeted Rowena by taking off his gloves (он поприветствовал Ровену, сняв перчатки;
"If I am your prisoner, Sir Knight (если я ваша пленница, сэр рыцарь), I prefer to stand up (то я предпочитаю стоять)," answered Rowena.

At the same time, De Bracy had entered the room where the Lady Rowena had been taken. He greeted Rowena by taking off his gloves and large green hat and asked her to sit down beside him.
"If I am your prisoner, Sir Knight, I prefer to stand up," answered Rowena.
"Beautiful Rowena (прекрасная Ровена)! You are not my prisoner (вы не моя пленница) — I am your prisoner (я — ваш пленник)! I have chosen you to be the queen of my heart (я избрал вас /быть/ королевой моего сердца;
"When I get married (когда я выйду замуж) — should that day ever arrive (если тот день когда-нибудь настанет;

"Beautiful Rowena! You are not my prisoner — I am your prisoner! I have chosen you to be the queen of my heart. This has all been caused by your own beauty. Proud lady, I tell you, you will never leave this castle unless it is as Maurice de Bracy's wife."
"When I get married — should that day ever arrive — it will be to someone who does not hate the Saxon people like you do."
"I know what you're thinking, Rowena (я знаю, что ты думаешь, Ровена). Don't dream that Richard the Lionhearted will ever return (и не мечтай, что Ричард Львиное Сердце когда-нибудь вернется;

"I know what you're thinking, Rowena. Don't dream that Richard the Lionhearted will ever return, or that Ivanhoe will marry you instead! Ivanhoe is here in the castle, in my power."
"Wilfred, here? I don't believe you."
"Did you really not know this (вы действительно этого не знали)? Didn't you know (разве вы не знали) that he was lying in the old Jew's litter (что он лежал в паланкине старого еврея)? You know Front-de-Boeuf will kill Ivanhoe (вы знаете, что Фрон-де-Бёф убьет Айвенго) if he finds him here (если он обнаружит его здесь), because Ivanhoe will want his land back (потому что Айвенго захочет свои земли обратно;
"Then save him (тогда спасите его), for the love of Heaven (во имя любви неба)!" Rowena threw her hands up and started crying (Ровена воздела руки к небу и начала плакать = заплакала;

"Did you really not know this? Didn't you know that he was lying in the old Jew's litter? You know Front-de-Boeuf will kill Ivanhoe if he finds him here, because Ivanhoe will want his land back."
"Then save him, for the love of Heaven!" Rowena threw her hands up and started crying.
"I can — and I promise I will (я могу /спасти его/ и обещаю, что /спасу/). I will hide him from Front-de-Boeuf (я спрячу его от Фрон-де-Бёфа)," said De Bracy, pacing the room (сказал де Браси, расхаживая по комнате;
promise ['prɔmɪs], depend [dɪ'pend], interrupt ['ɪntǝ'rʌpt]
"I can — and I promise I will. I will hide him from Front-de-Boeuf," said De Bracy, pacing the room, "but then you must agree to become my wife. Remember that Cedric's fate also depends on you!" The distant sound of the horn interrupted him, and De Bracy rushed out of the room to find out what was happening.
In the meantime (тем временем), Rebecca had been taken to a room (Ревекка была отведена в комнату) in the highest tower of Torquilstone (/расположенную/ в самой высокой башне Торкилстона). She quickly saw that the room (она быстро увидела, что в комнате) only had one, very large window (было только одно, очень большое окно), and that she had no way of escaping (и что у нее не было никакой возможности сбежать;
tower ['taʋǝ], window ['wɪndǝʋ], jewellery ['dʒu:əlrɪ]
In the meantime, Rebecca had been taken to a room in the highest tower of Torquilstone. She quickly saw that the room only had one, very large window, and that she had no way of escaping. The door opened behind her, and a tall man dressed in green came in. She held out some of her jewellery to him, hoping that this was what he came for.
"Beautiful flower of Palestine (прекрасный цветок Палестины)," said the outlaw in French (сказал разбойник по-французски), "I have always preferred beauty to jewellery (я всегда предпочитал красоту драгоценностям)."
"You are not an outlaw, but a Norman (вы не разбойник, а норманн)!" cried Rebecca (воскликнула Ревекка;
"And you are so beautiful (а ты настолько прекрасна), one could almost think that you were a witch (можно почти что подумать, что ты колдунья;

"Beautiful flower of Palestine," said the outlaw in French, "I have always preferred beauty to jewellery."
"You are not an outlaw, but a Norman!" cried Rebecca.
"And you are so beautiful, one could almost think that you were a witch," said Brian de Bois-Guilbert.
"What do you want from me (что вы хотите от меня), except my money (кроме моих денег;
"Marry (пожениться)? Marry a Jewess (жениться на еврейке)?" The Templar laughed (тамплиер рассмеялся). "I cannot marry anyone (я не могу ни на ком жениться). I am a Templar (я — рыцарь храма)!"

"What do you want from me, except my money? We have nothing in common. You are a Christian and I am a Jewess. We could never marry."
"Marry? Marry a Jewess?" The Templar laughed. "I cannot marry anyone. I am a Templar!"
He showed her the Templar's robe (он показал ей одеяние храмовника) which he wore under his green disguise (которое было на нем под /его/ зеленым костюмом;
"If it is necessary (если это будет необходимо;

He showed her the Templar's robe which he wore under his green disguise.
"If it is necessary, I will take what I want by force. But if you take my religion, you can have a life with the best knight of the Templars. Most Norman ladies would be very jealous of you."
"Stand back (отойдите;
As she spoke, Rebecca jumped up onto the window ledge (пока она говорила, Ревекка вскочила на подоконник;

"Stand back! Take your religion? With you as the best knight, what kind of religion can that be?"
As she spoke, Rebecca jumped up onto the window ledge and looked down into the courtyard far below.
"God has given me a way to escape from this!"
The Templar was not prepared for this at all and had no time to stop her.
He hesitated at first (он замешкался сперва;
"Come down (спускайся;
"I cannot trust you, Templar (я не могу доверять тебе, рыцарь храма;

He hesitated at first, afraid that she might jump if he came closer, but also because he admired how bravely she had jumped up onto the ledge.
"Come down," he said, "and I promise by the earth, the sea and the sky, that I will not harm you."
"I cannot trust you, Templar!"
"I promise by my sword (я обещаю =
"I will trust you (я поверю вам) — for now (на данный момент) — but stay away from me (но держитесь от меня подальше;

"I will trust you — for now — but stay away from me."
Rebecca stepped down off the window ledge, keeping her back to the window.
"Let there be peace between us (пусть будет мир меж нас = помиримся)," said the Templar. "Don't be afraid (не бойся)."
"I don't need to be afraid (мне не нужно бояться), as long as I have this window behind me (пока у меня есть это окно за моей спиной;
"You are being very unfair to me, Rebecca (ты очень несправедлива ко мне, Ревекка)," said the Templar. "Someone like you who is willing to die for her beliefs (кто-то, похожий на тебя, кто готов умереть за свою веру;

"Let there be peace between us," said the Templar. "Don't be afraid."
"I don't need to be afraid, as long as I have this window behind me."
"You are being very unfair to me, Rebecca," said the Templar. "Someone like you who is willing to die for her beliefs must have a proud and powerful soul, too. We belong together! No, don't be afraid. It will only be if you agree, and on your own terms. I have my ambitions, and one day I may become the Grand Master of the Templars myself! Just think of what this could mean for us!"
"What are you saying (что вы говорите)?" Rebecca asked, confused (Ревекка спросила, смущенная;
"I must go now, Rebecca (я должен идти сейчас, Ревекка)," said the Templar. "The others may need me (остальным я могу быть нужен;
When the Templar left (когда рыцарь храма ушел), Rebecca knelt down on the floor (Ревекка опустилась на колени на пол;

"I must go now, Rebecca," said the Templar. "The others may need me."
When the Templar left, Rebecca knelt down on the floor and thanked God for her life.
The Templar and De Bracy found each other in the tower corridor (тамплиер и де Браси встретились: «нашли друг друга» в коридоре башни;

The Templar and De Bracy found each other in the tower corridor, and Front-de-Boeuf came running up from the dungeon below.
"Let us find out what this noise is all about," Front-de-Boeuf said.
"Here, I've been given this letter (вот, мне дали это письмо), but I can't read it (но я не могу прочитать его), because it is in Saxon (потому что оно на саксонском)." He looked at it, turning it round and round (он смотрел на него, поворачивая его вокруг и вокруг = вертя в руках), as if he hoped the meaning would become clearer this way (словно надеясь, что смысл станет понятнее от этого: «таким образом»;
"It could be magic spells (это могут быть магические заклинания;
"Give it to me (дайте его мне)," said the Templar.
"What does it say (что в нем говориться)?" asked De Bracy.

"Here, I've been given this letter, but I can't read it, because it is in Saxon." He looked at it, turning it round and round, as if he hoped the meaning would become clearer this way. Finally he handed the letter to De Bracy.
"It could be magic spells, for all I know," said De Bracy. "I never learned to read."
"Give it to me," said the Templar.
"What does it say?" asked De Bracy.
The Templar translated the letter into French (тамплиер перевел письмо на французский), "I, Wamba, the son of Witless, jester of the noble Cedric of Rotherwood (я, Вамба, сын Безмозглого, шут благородного Седрика Ротервудского), known as the Saxon (известного под именем /Седрик/ Сакс;

The Templar translated the letter into French, "I, Wamba, the son of Witless, jester of the noble Cedric of Rotherwood, known as the Saxon, and I, Gurth, the son of Beowulph, the swineherd of Cedric, with the help of our allies, the good knight known as the Black Sluggard and the outlaw Locksley and his men, demand that our master Cedric the Saxon and the Lady Rowena and Athelstane of Coningsburgh, and also the Jew, Isaac of York, together with his daughter, Rebecca, and certain horses, mules and goods, be delivered to us within an hour of receiving this letter. If you fail to do this, we will attack and destroy your castle."
At first the knights were lost for words (сперва рыцари не могли произнести ни слова: «на находили слов»;
"These men would not have written so bravely (эти люди не стали бы писать так смело) if they did not have a lot of men to back them up (если бы у них не было много людей, поддерживающих их;

At first the knights were lost for words, but then De Bracy burst out laughing. The Templar joined in, but Front-de-Boeuf looked impatiently at them.
"These men would not have written so bravely if they did not have a lot of men to back them up," said Front-de-Boeuf. "There are a lot of outlaws out there in the forest who hate me. I've had as many arrows shot at me as that target at Ashby!"
He turned to one of his guards (он повернулся к одному из своих стражников). "Have you seen how many men are gathered out there (ты видел, сколько: «как много» людей собралось там, снаружи;
"There are at least two hundred men (там, по меньшей мере, двести человек)."
"Let us attack them (давайте нападем на них)," said the Templar. "One knight is enough for twenty such men (одного рыцаря достаточно на двадцать таких людей)."
"Enough, and too much (достаточно и даже слишком много)," said De Bracy. "I am almost ashamed to use my lance against them (мне почти что стыдно применять: «использовать» свое копье против них;

He turned to one of his guards. "Have you seen how many men are gathered out there?"
"There are at least two hundred men."
"Let us attack them," said the Templar. "One knight is enough for twenty such men."
"Enough, and too much," said De Bracy. "I am almost ashamed to use my lance against them."
"Send for help from your allies (отправьте /гонца/ к своим союзникам за помощью;
"To whom should I write (кому же мне написать)? All my allies are in York (все мои союзники в Йорке)."
"Send a message to York (отправьте послание в Йорк)," said De Bracy.
"And who shall carry the message (а кто отнесет это послание)? I know (я знаю)! Sir Templar, if you can write as well as you read (сэр тамплиер, если вы умеете не только читать, но и писать: «если вы можете так же и писать, как вы умеете читать»;

"Send for help from your allies," said the Templar to Front-de-Boeuf.
"To whom should I write? All my allies are in York."
"Send a message to York," said De Bracy.
"And who shall carry the message? I know! Sir Templar, if you can write as well as you read, write a message to the outlaws for me."
"I would rather do it with my sword (я бы лучше написал его своим мечом) than with a pen (чем пером;

"I would rather do it with my sword than with a pen," answered the Templar, "but I'll write it if that is what you wish." He sat down and wrote, "Reginald Front-de-Boeuf, with his noble allies, refuses to surrender to slaves. If the person calling himself the Black Knight is a real knight, then he should know he cannot demand this of good men of noble blood. Instead, we ask for a man of God to be sent to the prisoners to hear their confessions. In the morning, we will execute them and place their heads on the castle walls." The letter was then handed to the Saxon messenger waiting outside the gate.
In the forest outside Torquilstone (в лесу вокруг: «снаружи» Торкилстона), two hundred men were gathered already (двести человек уже собрались) and more were arriving every minute (и еще больше прибывало с каждой минутой). When Cedric's men at Rotherwood heard (когда слуги Седрика в Ротервуде узнали;

In the forest outside Torquilstone, two hundred men were gathered already and more were arriving every minute. When Cedric's men at Rotherwood heard that their master had been taken prisoner by Front-de-Boeuf, they came in large numbers and joined the outlaws outside Torquilstone. The messenger passed through the growing crowd and gave the Templar's letter to Friar Tuck.
"Why, this is in French (ба, да оно на французском)!" the monk exclaimed (монах воскликнул) and passed it on to the Black Knight (и передал его дальше, Черному рыцарю;
"Execute the noble Cedric (казнить благородного Седрика)!" exclaimed Wamba (воскликнул Вамба), when the Black Knight had finished (когда Черный рыцарь закончил). "You must be mistaken, Sir Knight (вы, должно быть, ошиблись, сэр рыцарь;

"Why, this is in French!" the monk exclaimed and passed it on to the Black Knight, who translated it into Saxon for the rest of them.
"Execute the noble Cedric!" exclaimed Wamba, when the Black Knight had finished. "You must be mistaken, Sir Knight."
"If there were someone among us who could get into the castle, he could find out how the castle is being defended," said the Knight. "I think, since they ask for a man of God, the monk should be sent in."
Friar Tuck refused loudly (брат Тук отказался громогласно).
"Is there no one here who will go (нет здесь никого, кто пойдет)?" asked the Black Knight.
Everyone looked at each other in silence (все смотрели друг на друга молча: «в тишине»;
"I see (я понял;

Friar Tuck refused loudly.
"Is there no one here who will go?" asked the Black Knight.
Everyone looked at each other in silence.
"I see," said Wamba, after a short pause. "The fool must be a fool and risk his neck when wise men refuse."
"Has he got enough sense to do this (у него достаточно ума, чтобы сделать это;
"I don't know (я не знаю)," said Gurth. "But if he hasn't (но если /недостаточно/), then it will be the first time (тогда это будет первый раз) he has not been wise in his foolishness (когда он не был мудрым в своей глупости;

"I don't know," said Gurth. "But if he hasn't, then it will be the first time he has not been wise in his foolishness."
"Pax vobiscum" said Wamba, who was now wearing the monk's robe, and he set off for the castle.
When the jester arrived at the gate of Torquilstone (когда шут прибыл к воротам Торкилстона), the guard demanded to know who he was (стражники потребовали, чтобы он сообщил, кто он такой;
"Pax vobiscum (мир вам)," answered the jester, pulling the hood over his face (ответил шут, натягивая капюшон на лицо;
The guard let Wamba through the gate (охранник позволил Вамбе /пройти/ через ворота). When the jester was taken to Front-de-Boeuf (когда шута привели к Фронт-де-Бёфу), he shook with fear (он дрожал от страха).

When the jester arrived at the gate of Torquilstone, the guard demanded to know who he was.
"Pax vobiscum," answered the jester, pulling the hood over his face. "I am a poor monk who has been asked to visit some prisoners in this castle."
The guard let Wamba through the gate. When the jester was taken to Front-de-Boeuf, he shook with fear.
"Pax vobiscum," he said weakly.
"Who are you, monk (кто ты, монах)?" asked Front-de-Boeuf.
"Pax vobiscum," said the jester. "I was travelling through the forest (я странствовал по лесу) when I was taken prisoner by outlaws (когда я был взят в плен разбойниками). They sent me here (они отправили меня сюда) to hear the confessions of some prisoners (чтобы выслушать исповеди =

"Good," answered Front-de-Boeuf. "Can you tell me how many outlaws there are out there?"
"At least five hundred."
"What!" said the Templar, who came in at that moment (сказал храмовник, который вошел как раз в тот момент). "So many (так много)!" He took Front-de-Boeuf aside (он отвел Фрон-де-Бёфа в сторону;
"He is a stranger (он не местный;

In the meanwhile, let the monk wander around to see the prisoners (тем временем позволь монаху пройтись по замку, чтобы увидеть пленников;

"What!" said the Templar, who came in at that moment. "So many!" He took Front-de-Boeuf aside. "Do you know this monk?"
"He is a stranger. I don't know him."
"Then don't tell him the message you want him to take to your allies in York. Let him carry a written message instead. In the meanwhile, let the monk wander around to see the prisoners, so that no one becomes suspicious."
The guards first took the jester into the hall (стражники сперва отвели шута в тот зал) where Cedric and Athelstane sat (где сидели Седрик и Ательстан).
"Pax vobiscum," Wamba said as he entered (сказал Вамба когда вошел).
"Come in (входи)," said Cedric and looked up (сказал Седрик и поднял глаза). "Why have you come, monk (зачем ты пришел, монах)?"
"To prepare you for your death (подготовить вас к смерти)."
"That is impossible (это невозможно)!" replied Cedric and stared at the monk (ответил Седрик и уставился на монаха). "They would not dare to kill us (они не посмеют убить нас;

"Come in," said Cedric and looked up. "Why have you come, monk?"
"To prepare you for your death."
"That is impossible!" replied Cedric and stared at the monk. "They would not dare to kill us!"
Then he became suspicious (затем он что-то заподозрил: «стал подозрительным»). "I should know that voice (мне следовало бы знать этот голос)!"
"It is your jester (это ваш шут)!" answered Wamba, and pulled back the hood of his robe (ответил Вамба и сбросил капюшон /своей рясы/;
"Leave you in my place (оставить тебя на моем месте = вместо себя)!" exclaimed Cedric. "Why, they would hang you, my poor fool (ба, да они повесят тебя, мой бедный дурак)."

"Leave you in my place!" exclaimed Cedric. "Why, they would hang you, my poor fool."
"Let them, my neck is too straight to be twisted by Normans (пусть, моя шея слишком прямая, чтобы быть свернутой норманнами;

"No, I will risk my life for whoever I choose."
"But the ancestors of Athelstane were once the kings of England!"
Wamba shook his head. "I will hang for no man other than my own master."
"Go, then, noble Cedric (иди, тогда, благородный Седрик)," said Athelstane. "When you are outside (когда ты будешь на свободе: «снаружи»), you may be able to help our friends rescue us (ты сможешь помочь нашим друзьям спасти нас)."
There were tears in Cedric's eyes (слезы были =

"Go, then, noble Cedric," said Athelstane. "When you are outside, you may be able to help our friends rescue us."
There were tears in Cedric's eyes as he put Wamba's robe on. "Farewell then, my poor boy," he said to Wamba. "I will either save you or come back and die with you!"
"Farewell, noble Cedric (прощай, благородный Седрик)," said Athelstane. "Don't forget to accept any food or drink (не забудь принять любую пищу или питье;
"Farewell (прощайте)," said Wamba, "And remember, just say 'Pax vobiscum' (и помните, просто говорите "Мир вам")."
Cedric pulled the hood of the robe over his face (Седрик натянул капюшон рясы на лицо) and hurried out of the hall (и поспешил выйти из зала;

"Farewell, noble Cedric," said Athelstane. "Don't forget to accept any food or drink they may offer you on your way out."
"Farewell," said Wamba, "And remember, just say 'Pax vobiscum'."
Cedric pulled the hood of the robe over his face and hurried out of the hall.
On his way across the courtyard (по пути через внутренний двор), he met Front-de-Boeuf (он встретил Фрон-де-Бёфа).
"Pax vobiscum," Cedric said.
"Have you prepared them for their deaths, monk (подготовил ли ты их к смерти, монах)?" asked the Norman (спросил норманн).
"Yes, I found them expecting the worst (да, я обнаружил, что они ожидают самого худшего)."
"Can you read, monk (умеешь ли ты читать, монах)?"
"Not a word (ни слова)."

On his way across the courtyard, he met Front-de-Boeuf.
"Pax vobiscum," Cedric said.
"Have you prepared them for their deaths, monk?" asked the Norman.
"Yes, I found them expecting the worst."
"Can you read, monk?"
"Not a word."
"Good (хорошо). Take this letter to my allies in York (отнеси это письмо моим союзникам в Йорке). Say it comes from me (скажи, что это письмо от меня;
"If I have anything to do with it (если я смогу что-нибудь сделать), not a single Saxon will leave the forest out there (то ни один сакс не покинет тот лес)!" Cedric replied and walked out through the castle gate (Седрик ответил и вышел через ворота замка).

"If I have anything to do with it, not a single Saxon will leave the forest out there!" Cedric replied and walked out through the castle gate.
Front-de-Boeuf turned to one of his guards (Фрон-де-Бёф обратился к одному из своих стражников;
"Now, bring me Cedric of Rotherwood and Athelstane of Coningsburgh (а теперь приведите мне Седрика Ротервудского и Ательстана Конингсбургского;

Front-de-Boeuf turned to one of his guards.
"Now, bring me Cedric of Rotherwood and Athelstane of Coningsburgh."
Athelstane and Wamba were brought in.
"What have we got here!" Front-de-Boeuf exclaimed when he saw the collar around Wamba's neck.
"I think I can tell you (мне кажется, я могу сказать вам)," answered De Bracy as he walked in (ответил де Браси, когда он вошел). "This is Cedric's jester (это шут Седрика), the one who fought so bravely against Isaac at Ashby (тот самый, который сражался так храбро с Исааком в Эшби). Saints in Heaven, this must mean (святые небесные, это должно означать;
"What (что)!" cried Front-de-Boeuf, looking at Wamba (закричал Фрон-де-Бёф, глядя на Вамбу), "I'll cut off his head (я отрублю ему голову;

"I think I can tell you," answered De Bracy as he walked in. "This is Cedric's jester, the one who fought so bravely against Isaac at Ashby. Saints in Heaven, this must mean that Cedric has escaped in the monk's robe!"
"What!" cried Front-de-Boeuf, looking at Wamba, "I'll cut off his head and throw his body over the castle walls!"
"No, give him to me instead," said De Bracy, "I'll give him to my men to amuse themselves with while they are waiting."
They were interrupted by the Templar (они были прерваны храмовником), who came running down into the courtyard (который сбежал во внутренний двор). He had been up on the castle walls (он побывал /наверху/ на крепостных стенах), paying close attention to the advance of the outlaws towards the castle (обращая особое внимание на приближение разбойников к замку;
"Those men are advancing with more discipline (эти люди приближаются более организованно: «с большей дисциплиной»;

They were interrupted by the Templar, who came running down into the courtyard. He had been up on the castle walls, paying close attention to the advance of the outlaws towards the castle.
"Those men are advancing with more discipline than I would have expected!" he exclaimed and they followed him back up. He pointed down at the edge of the forest.
"See how well they use the trees for protection from our arrows? I think that they are being led by someone who has attacked castles before."
"I see who it is (я вижу, кто это)," replied De Bracy. "See that tall man in the black armour over there (видите того высокого мужчину в черных доспехах вон там)? That's the Black Sluggard (это Черный Бездельник), the one who knocked you down at the tournament, Front-de-Boeuf (тот самый, который сразил тебя на турнире, Фрон-де-Бёф;

"I see who it is," replied De Bracy. "See that tall man in the black armour over there? That's the Black Sluggard, the one who knocked you down at the tournament, Front-de-Boeuf!"
"Good!" said Front-de-Boeuf. "Bois-Guilbert, De Bracy, you can divide the rest of the attackers among you, but I will take care of that Black Knight myself!"
When De Bracy had left Rowena earlier (когда де Браси оставил Ровену ранее), he ordered his men to take Ivanhoe to a safe place (он приказал своим людям/слугам отнести Айвенго в безопасное место), as he had promised her (как он и пообещал ей). De Bracy's men took the wounded knight to Rebecca's tower room (слуги де Браси отнесли раненого рыцаря в комнату Ревекки в башне), which the Templar had told Front-de-Boeuf's men to stay away from (от которой храмовник велел слугам Фрон-де-Бёфа держаться подальше;

When De Bracy had left Rowena earlier, he ordered his men to take Ivanhoe to a safe place, as he had promised her. De Bracy's men took the wounded knight to Rebecca's tower room, which the Templar had told Front-de-Boeuf's men to stay away from.
Ivanhoe looked around in the tower room (Айвенго огляделся вокруг в комнате, /расположенной/ в башне) and immediately recognized the young woman (и тотчас узнал ту самую молодую женщину) who was imprisoned there with him (которая была пленницей там /в комнате/ вместе с ним;
"Thank you, dear Rebecca (благодарю тебя, дорогая Ревекка), thank you for saving my life (благодарю за спасение моей жизни;

"I see that we have been taken to the castle of Front-de-Boeuf (я вижу, что нас привезли в замок Фрон-де-Бёфа)," said Ivanhoe. "How can I protect Rowena and my father now (как смогу я защитить Ровену и своего отца сейчас)?"

Ivanhoe looked around in the tower room and immediately recognized the young woman who was imprisoned there with him.
"Thank you, dear Rebecca, thank you for saving my life!" On the way from Ashby, Rebecca had taken care of his wounds herself. It was only because of her great skills that Ivanhoe was now slowly able to recover his strength.
"I see that we have been taken to the castle of Front-de-Boeuf," said Ivanhoe. "How can I protect Rowena and my father now?"
Rebecca told him (Ревекка сказала ему) that the castle was under attack from the outside (что замок подвергся /внешнему/ нападению: «был под нападением снаружи»). They could already hear (они уже могли слышать) the Norman knights shouting orders to their men (как рыцари-норманны выкрикивали приказы своим людям;
under ['ʌndǝ], attack [ǝ'tæk], footstep ['fʋtstep], place [pleɪs]
Rebecca told him that the castle was under attack from the outside. They could already hear the Norman knights shouting orders to their men in the courtyard below the tower. They heard the sound of armour and weapons being moved and the footsteps of men running to their places.
Rebecca's face grew pale with fear (лицо Ревекки побледнело от страха;
"If I could only drag myself over to that window (если бы я только мог дотащиться до того окна)," he cried (вскричал он), "then I could see what was happening (тогда я бы смог увидеть, что происходит). If only I had a bow or a battle-axe (если бы только у меня был лук или алебарда)!"

Rebecca's face grew pale with fear, but Ivanhoe, who was used to battles, was impatient.
"If I could only drag myself over to that window," he cried, "then I could see what was happening. If only I had a bow or a battle-axe!"
"Don't worry, noble knight (не волнуйся, благородный рыцарь;
"You don't understand these things (ты не понимаешь /этих вещей/ = ты не разбираешься в этом;

"Don't worry, noble knight," answered Rebecca. "The noise seems to have stopped suddenly. Maybe there will be no battle after all."
"You don't understand these things," said Ivanhoe impatiently. "That only means that all the men are in their places now and are ready to fight. If only I could reach the window!"
"You will only make your wounds worse, noble knight (это только разбередит твои раны: «сделает твои раны хуже», благородный рыцарь). I will stand in the window (я встану у окна) and tell you what I see (и буду говорить тебе, что я вижу)."

But Rebecca had already climbed up onto the window ledge.
"I can see the archers standing in the shadows of the trees at the edge of the forest."
"Who are they?"
"I cannot tell (я не могу сказать). I can see a tall man in front (я вижу какого-то высокого мужчину впереди) wearing black armour (одетого в черные доспехи). It's the Black Knight (это Черный рыцарь)! They seem to be preparing to attack now (они, кажется, готовятся атаковать сейчас;

"I cannot tell. I can see a tall man in front wearing black armour. It's the Black Knight! They seem to be preparing to attack now. God protect us, what a terrible sight! The cloud of arrows is so thick that I cannot even see the men who are shooting them!" exclaimed Rebecca.
"But wait (но подождите)! I see the Black Knight leading his men towards the barbican (я вижу, что Черный рыцарь ведет своих людей к навесной башне;

"But wait! I see the Black Knight leading his men towards the barbican. They are running forward, but they are being forced back by Front-de-Boeuf's men! Front-de-Boeuf and the Black Knight are fighting each other now. He is down! He is down!" she exclaimed.
"Who is down (кто повержен)?" cried Ivanhoe (вскричал Айвенго). "Tell me, who has fallen (скажи мне, кто повержен)?"
"The Black Knight. But no — but no (но нет — нет)! He is up again (он на ногах снова;

"Who is down?" cried Ivanhoe. "Tell me, who has fallen?"
"The Black Knight. But no — but no! He is up again, and fighting with the strength of twenty men. His sword is broken, but he has grabbed a battle-axe from someone else! He strikes Front-de-Boeuf — he falls, he falls!"
"Front-de-Boeuf?"
"Front-de-Boeuf," answered Rebecca. "His men, led by the proud Templar (его люди под предводительством гордого храмовника: «ведомые гордым храмовником»;

"Front-de-Boeuf," answered Rebecca. "His men, led by the proud Templar, are dragging him back behind the barbican. Now the attackers are placing ladders against the barbican walls. Great God! The ladders are being thrown down! The men are lying on the ground."
"Are they giving up (они отступают;
"No!" exclaimed Rebecca. "The Black Knight is striking at the barbican gate with his battle-axe (Черный рыцарь ударяет по воротам навесной башни своим боевым топором). You can hear him (ты можешь слышать его) over the noise and shouts of the battle (среди шума и криков битвы;

Ivanhoe raised himself up. "I thought there was only one man in England who could do such a thing!"

"The drawbridge, have they crossed that yet?"
"No," replied Rebecca. "The Templar has destroyed it (тамплиер уничтожил его). A few of the defenders escaped with him back into the castle (немногие из защитников сбежали с ним назад в замок).

"No," replied Rebecca. "The Templar has destroyed it. A few of the defenders escaped with him back into the castle. The cries and shouts you hear now are from the ones who did not make it back inside. I can see that the Black Knight is still fighting."

"By the name of the lady I love, I would gladly be a prisoner for ten years if I could just fight one day on the side of that good knight in this battle!"
Rebecca came down from the window and sat down next to Ivanhoe. "You cannot hope to fight against anyone as long as your wounds have not yet healed. Be patient, my friend, I think the attackers will rescue us!"
After their retreat (после /своего/ отступления), De Bracy and the Templar met briefly in one of the halls of Torquilstone (де Браси и храмовник встретились ненадолго в одном из залов Торкилстона;
"Where is Front-de-Boeuf (где Фрон-де-Бёф)?" asked De Bracy. "The men say he has been killed (слуги говорят, что он был убит)."

After their retreat, De Bracy and the Templar met briefly in one of the halls of Torquilstone to discuss their plans for the defence of the castle.
"Where is Front-de-Boeuf?" asked De Bracy. "The men say he has been killed."
"He's still alive," said the Templar coolly, "at least for a few hours more. But we have lost the barbican on our side. How did the outlaws fight on your side of the castle?"
"Like devils (как черти)," answered De Bracy. "They are led by that archer (их ведет тот самый лучник) who won the prize at Ashby (который выиграл приз в Эшби), and they have already killed a lot of my men (и они уже убили множество моих людей). If I had not been wearing Spanish chain-mail under my armour (если бы на мне не была надета испанская кольчуга под доспехами;
"Let us defend the castle walls (давай /отправимся/ защищать стены замка)!" answered the Templar (ответил тамплиер), and they led their men to the top of the walls (и они повели своих людей на стены: «на верхнюю часть стен»), where they waited for the next attack by the outlaws (где они ожидали следующего нападения разбойников;

"Like devils," answered De Bracy. "They are led by that archer who won the prize at Ashby, and they have already killed a lot of my men. If I had not been wearing Spanish chain-mail under my armour, that archer would have killed me as well."
"Let us defend the castle walls!" answered the Templar, and they led their men to the top of the walls, where they waited for the next attack by the outlaws.
Meanwhile, the outlaws met in the forest again (тем временем разбойники встретились в лесу снова) to make plans for the second attack (чтобы составить планы для второго нападения). The Black Knight gave orders for some of the outlaws (Черный рыцарь отдал приказания нескольким разбойникам) to cut down trees and build a floating bridge (срубить деревья и построить плавучий мост;
build [bɪld], floating bridge ['flǝʋtɪŋ'brɪdʒ], finished ['fɪnɪʃt]
Meanwhile, the outlaws met in the forest again to make plans for the second attack. The Black Knight gave orders for some of the outlaws to cut down trees and build a floating bridge. When the bridge was finished, he turned to his allies.
"We cannot wait any longer, my friends (мы не можем ждать дольше, мои друзья). The sun is already setting in the west (солнце уже садится на западе;

"We cannot wait any longer, my friends. The sun is already setting in the west, and the news of the battle may already have reached York. So, Locksley, take your archers to the other side of the castle and make it look as if our main attack is there. In the meantime, we will use the bridge from this side. Noble Cedric, are you with me? In the name of God, then, let us attack!"
As soon as the bridge had been pushed across the moat (как только мост был положен: «столкнут» через крепостной ров;
push [pʋʃ], across [ǝ'krɔs], safely ['seɪflɪ], position [pǝ'zɪʃ(ə)n], dangerous ['deɪndʒərəs]
As soon as the bridge had been pushed across the moat, the Black Knight and Cedric ran across it and reached the other side safely. Their position would have been more dangerous if Locksley and his men had not been shooting at the defenders from the other side of the castle.
Three times Locksley shot an arrow at De Bracy (три раза Локсли выпустил стрелу в де Браси) and three times his arrow broke (и три раза его стрела ломалась;

Three times Locksley shot an arrow at De Bracy and three times his arrow broke against the armour of the Norman knight.
"Curse your Spanish chain-mail!" cried the archer.
"Shame on you all (как вам всем не стыдно;
Suddenly he heard the Templar's voice in his ear (внезапно он услышал голос тамплиера в ухе).
"All is lost, De Bracy (все кончено: «все пропало», де Браси;

"Shame on you all!" De Bracy shouted and looked around at the men who were left on the walls. "How can you let those two dogs stay down there on the floating bridge!"
Suddenly he heard the Templar's voice in his ear.
"All is lost, De Bracy," said the Templar. "The castle is burning behind us."
"You are mad (ты сошел с ума)!" replied De Bracy.
"The west side is all in flames (западная сторона вся в огне;

"We will defend ourselves until our allies arrive. Take your men down and destroy the floating bridge. There are only two men on it at the moment. In the meantime, I will try to attack the outlaws over by the barbican."
"Templar, you won't let me down?"
"I will not!" said Bois-Guilbert. "But hurry up, in the name of God!"
De Bracy led his men down to the castle gate (де Браси повел своих людей вниз, к воротам замка), but the Black Knight had already forced his way through it (но Черный рыцарь уже ворвался внутрь: «силой проложил свой путь сквозь них = ворота»;

De Bracy led his men down to the castle gate, but the Black Knight had already forced his way through it. De Bracy swung his sword at the Black Knight, and the Black Knight struck back at him with his battle-axe, knocking De Bracy off his feet.
"Surrender, De Bracy (сдавайся, де Браси;
"I will not surrender to an unknown knight (я не сдамся какому-то неизвестному рыцарю)," replied De Bracy weakly (ответил де Браси слабо = слабым голосом). "Tell me your name first (назови мне свое имя сначала;

"Surrender, De Bracy," said the Black Knight, bending over him and holding a knife against his helmet. "Surrender, rescue or no rescue. Otherwise you are a dead man."
"I will not surrender to an unknown knight," replied De Bracy weakly. "Tell me your name first."
The Black Knight whispered something in De Bracy's ear (Черный рыцарь прошептал что-то на ухо де Браси).
"I am your prisoner (я ваш пленник)," De Bracy said to the Black Knight, "rescue or no rescue (на милость победителя)."
"Then go to the barbican (тогда иди к навесной башне) and wait for my further orders (и жди моих дальнейших приказаний;

The Black Knight whispered something in De Bracy's ear.
"I am your prisoner," De Bracy said to the Black Knight, "rescue or no rescue."
"Then go to the barbican and wait for my further orders," said the Black Knight.
"Let me first tell you (позвольте сперва сказать вам) that Wilfred of Ivanhoe is wounded (что Уилфрид Айвенго ранен) and a prisoner here (и /содержится/ пленником здесь). He will die in this burning castle (он умрет в этом горящем замке) if you do not help him (если вы не поможете ему)."
"Wilfred of Ivanhoe!" exclaimed the Black Knight. "A prisoner (пленником)! Tell me where he is (скажи мне, где он)!"
De Bracy gave the Black Knight directions to the room in the tower (де Браси указал Черному рыцарю, как добраться до комнаты в башне;
die [daɪ], direction [d(a)ɪ'rekʃ(ə)n], taken ['teɪkən]
"Let me first tell you that Wilfred of Ivanhoe is wounded and a prisoner here. He will die in this burning castle if you do not help him."
"Wilfred of Ivanhoe!" exclaimed the Black Knight. "A prisoner! Tell me where he is!"
De Bracy gave the Black Knight directions to the room in the tower where his men had taken Ivanhoe.
He then took off his helmet (он затем снял свой шлем), gave his sword to Locksley (отдал свой меч Локсли), who came in as he went out (который вошел /как раз тогда, когда/ он вышел), and walked across the floating bridge to the barbican (и пошел по плавучему мосту к навесной башне).
Thick heavy smoke was already rolling into the tower room (густой тяжелый дым уже валил клубами в комнату в башне;
"The castle is burning (замок горит;

He then took off his helmet, gave his sword to Locksley, who came in as he went out, and walked across the floating bridge to the barbican.
Thick heavy smoke was already rolling into the tower room where Rebecca and Ivanhoe were imprisoned.
"The castle is burning!" cried Rebecca. "It is burning! What can we do to save ourselves?"
"Go, Rebecca, and save your own life (иди, Ревекка, спасай свою /собственную/ жизнь)," said Ivanhoe. "No one can help me now (никто не может помочь мне теперь)."
"I will not go without you (я не пойду без тебя)," answered Rebecca. "We will be saved or die together (мы будем спасены или умрем вместе). And yet, great God (и еще, великий Боже)! My father — my father, what will be his fate (мой отец, какова будет его судьба/участь)?"

At this moment the door flew open (в этот момент дверь распахнулась;
"I have found you (я нашел тебя)," he said to Rebecca. "You see that I always keep my word (ты видишь, что я всегда держу свое слово;

At this moment the door flew open and the Templar came in.
"I have found you," he said to Rebecca. "You see that I always keep my word. I have cut my way through fifty dangers to take you to safety. Get up and follow me!"
"Go without me (идите без меня)," answered Rebecca. "I will not follow you (я не пойду с вами: «не последую за вами»). If your heart is not as hard as your armour (если ваше сердце не такое же жесткое, как ваши доспехи;

"I would rather die in the flames (я бы предпочла умереть в огне) than accept safety from you (чем принять безопасность =

A few moments later (несколько мгновений спустя), the Black Knight came into the room (Черный рыцарь вошел в комнату).

"I would rather die in the flames than accept safety from you!" cried Rebecca.

A few moments later, the Black Knight came into the room. "I would not have found you, Wilfred," he said, "if it had not been for your shouting!"
"If you are a true knight (если вы настоящий рыцарь;

He lifted Ivanhoe up (он поднял Айвенго) and carried him out of the room (и вынес его из комнаты) as easily as the Templar had carried off Rebecca (так же легко, как тамплиер вынес Ревекку). He left Ivanhoe in the care of some monks (он оставил Айвенго на попечении нескольких монахов) at a priory near the burning castle (в небольшом монастыре, /расположенном/ рядом с горящим замком;

"If you are a true knight," said Ivanhoe, "then don't think of me. Go after that knight — save the Lady Rowena — find the noble Cedric!"
"In their turn," answered the Black Knight, "but it is your turn first."
He lifted Ivanhoe up and carried him out of the room as easily as the Templar had carried off Rebecca. He left Ivanhoe in the care of some monks at a priory near the burning castle and went back to find the other prisoners.
One of the towers had completely disappeared (одна из башен уже полностью исчезла; to

One of the towers had completely disappeared in bright flames by now. Inside the castle, the air was filled with smoke and the sound of running feet and sword-fighting. The floors were wet with the blood of the wounded and the dead. In this confusion, Cedric rushed around with Gurth looking for Rowena. When he found her, he left her in the care of Gurth and ran on to try to find Athelstane.
Wamba and Athelstane had already made their escape (Вамба и Ательстан уже сбежали;

Wamba and Athelstane had already made their escape and were standing in the courtyard of Torquilstone. Here they saw the Templar on his horse, surrounded by his Arab servants and defending Rebecca with his sword. The Templar attempted to cross the floating bridge, but his way was cut off by Locksley's men, who were shooting their arrows in through the gate.
Through the smoke (сквозь дым), Athelstane saw a woman on a horse beside the Templar (Ательстан увидел женщину на коне, рядом с тамплиером) and thought it was Rowena (и подумал, что это была Ровена).
"I will rescue her from that knight (я спасу ее от этого рыцаря), and he shall die by my sword (и он умрет =

But Athelstane had already rushed forward (но Ательстан уже бросился вперед) and knocked two of the Templar's Arab servants off their horses (и вышиб двух из слуг-арабов рыцаря храма из седел: «с их лошадей»).
"Come back here, false-hearted Templar (вернись сюда, вероломный храмовник;

But Athelstane had already rushed forward and knocked two of the Templar's Arab servants off their horses.
"Come back here, false-hearted Templar! Let her go!"
"Dog!" said the Templar, turning his horse around. He stood up in his stirrups and struck Athelstane on the head with his sword.
"Ha (ага)! That is what happens to anyone (вот что случается с каждым) who challenges a Templar (кто бросает вызов рыцарю храма)!" he shouted (закричал он). "Those who want to save themselves, follow me (те, кто хочет спастись, следуйте за мной)!"
He led his men through the rain of arrows (он повел своих людей сквозь град: «дождь» стрел;

"Ha! That is what happens to anyone who challenges a Templar!" he shouted. "Those who want to save themselves, follow me!"
He led his men through the rain of arrows, across the floating bridge and over to the barbican.
"De Bracy! De Bracy!" the Templar shouted when he reached the barbican (тамплиер закричал, когда он достиг навесной башни). "Are you here (ты здесь)?"
"I am here (я здесь)," replied De Bracy, "but I am a prisoner (но я пленник)."
"Can I rescue you (могу ли я освободить тебя)?"
"No, I have surrendered (нет, я сдался), rescue or no rescue (на милость победителя). Save yourself (спасай себя). Put the sea between you and England (помести море между собой и Англией = беги за море из Англии)! I dare not say any more (я не смею сказать ничего больше)."

"Can I rescue you?"
"No, I have surrendered, rescue or no rescue. Save yourself. Put the sea between you and England! I dare not say any more."
"Well (что ж)," said the Templar, "I will go to Templestowe for safety (я отправлюсь в Темплстоу, чтобы укрыться там: «для безопасности»;

"Well," said the Templar, "I will go to Templestowe for safety." He rode off into the forest, closely followed by his men.
The flames over Torquilstone rose up to the evening sky and could be seen for miles around.
By dawn the outlaws and their allies (к рассвету разбойники и их союзники) had all gathered back at the old oak tree (все собрались снова у старого дуба;

By dawn the outlaws and their allies had all gathered back at the old oak tree. There they had slept, drunk wine and told each other stories from the battle. The money, armour and other treasures which they had taken from Front-de-Boeuf's castle had been thrown into a great pile under the tree.
"Let us not stay here long (давайте не будем оставаться здесь надолго;
stay [steɪ], reward [rɪ'wɔ:d], men [men]
"Let us not stay here long," said Locksley. "When the news of the battle reaches the allies of Front-de-Boeuf, we will need to find a safer place. Noble Cedric," he said as he turned to the old Saxon, "take half of these treasures and use them to reward your men."
"Good man (добрый человек)," said Cedric, "my heart is heavy with sorrow (мое сердце тяжело от печали;

"Good man," said Cedric, "my heart is heavy with sorrow. The noble Athelstane of Coningsburgh is no more. My hopes have died with him and can never return! The Lady Rowena wishes to return to Rotherwood right away. I have only stayed here to thank you and your men for saving my life. I am rich enough to reward my men with my own money."
He turned and embraced his jester (он повернулся и обнял своего шута;

He turned and embraced his jester.
"But you, my poor fool, how can I ever thank you?" Cedric's eyes filled with tears as he spoke.
"If you reward me with tears," said Wamba, "I shall have to cry as well. If you really want to reward me, forgive my friend Gurth, who left you to become the servant of your son."
"Forgive him (простить его)!" exclaimed Cedric. "I will both forgive him and reward him (я не только прощу его, но и вознагражу его;
Gurth jumped to his feet (Гурт вскочил на ноги).

"Forgive him!" exclaimed Cedric. "I will both forgive him and reward him. Kneel down, Gurth. You are now a free man, and I will give you some land of your own!"
Gurth jumped to his feet. "Someone help me take this collar off! Noble master, I will fight twice as bravely for you now!"
"But you will forget me (но ты забудешь меня;
"I will never forget you, my true friend (я никогда не забуду тебя, мой настоящий друг)," answered Gurth, "and if you wanted to be free as well (и если бы ты тоже захотел быть свободным), I know that Cedric would not stop you (я знаю, что Седрик не стал бы удерживать тебя;

"But you will forget me," said Wamba.
"I will never forget you, my true friend," answered Gurth, "and if you wanted to be free as well, I know that Cedric would not stop you."
"I am not jealous of you," said Wamba. "I would rather sit by the warm fireplace in the hall of Rotherwood than in my own little house."
They were interrupted by the sound of horses (они были прерваны звуками =

They were interrupted by the sound of horses, and the Lady Rowena appeared, surrounded by some of Cedric's men. Her face, although pale and sad, seemed to show new hope for the future. She knew that Athelstane was dead, but she had also heard that Ivanhoe was safe.
She thanked Locksley and his men for her rescue (она поблагодарила Локсли и его людей за свое спасение).
"God bless you, brave men (благословит вас Бог, храбрые люди = храбрецы;
"Thank you, gentle lady (благодарю вас, благородная дама;

She thanked Locksley and his men for her rescue. "God bless you, brave men," she said. "If any of you should ever go hungry, remember that Rowena has food. If the Normans should ever force you out of this forest, remember that Rowena has forests of her own."
"Thank you, gentle lady," said Locksley.
Before leaving (прежде чем уехать), Cedric turned to the Black Knight and shook his hand (Седрик повернулся к Черному рыцарю и пожал его руку;
"Remember, you will always have a home (помните, что у вас всегда будет дом) in the halls of Rotherwood, noble Knight (в залах Ротервуда, благородный рыцарь). Come, therefore, to Rotherwood (приезжайте поэтому в Ротервуд), not as a guest, but as a son or brother (ни как гость, а как сын или брат)!"

Before leaving, Cedric turned to the Black Knight and shook his hand. "Remember, you will always have a home in the halls of Rotherwood, noble Knight. Come, therefore, to Rotherwood, not as a guest, but as a son or brother!"
"Cedric has already made me rich (Седрик уже сделал меня богатым;

"Cedric has already made me rich," answered the Knight, "by teaching me the value of Saxon honour. I will come to Rotherwood some day, but I have more important things to take care of right now. When I come to see you, though, I will ask you for a great favour."
"You can have anything you want (/вы можете иметь/ все, что захотите)! Come to Coningsburgh (приезжайте в Конингсбург), where I will be arranging the funeral of the noble Athelstane (где я буду организовывать похороны благородного Ательстана;

"You can have anything you want! Come to Coningsburgh, where I will be arranging the funeral of the noble Athelstane," answered Cedric and set off with the Lady Rowena and his men.
"Brave Knight (храбрый рыцарь)," said Locksley, turning to the Black Knight (сказал Локсли, обращаясь к Черному рыцарю), "take whatever you want from under this oak tree (возьмите все, что захотите из-под этого дуба)."
"I would like to take Sir Maurice de Bracy (я хотел бы взять сэра Мориса де Браси), to do with whatever I want (и сделать с ним, что захочу)."
"He is yours already (он уже ваш)," answered Locksley.

"I would like to take Sir Maurice de Bracy, to do with whatever I want."
"He is yours already," answered Locksley.
"De Bracy," the Black Knight said to De Bracy, "you are a free man (ты свободный человек = ты свободен) — so leave England now (поэтому оставь Англию /прямо/ сейчас)! But beware of the future, Maurice de Bracy, beware (но остерегайся будущего, Морис де Браси, остерегайся;
De Bracy bowed and disappeared into the forest (де Браси поклонился и исчез в лесу;

"De Bracy," the Black Knight said to De Bracy, "you are a free man — so leave England now! But beware of the future, Maurice de Bracy, beware!"
De Bracy bowed and disappeared into the forest.
Locksley gave the Black Knight a horn (Локсли вручил: «дал» Черному рыцарю /охотничий/ рожок).
"Noble Knight, if you are ever in danger in this forest (благородный рыцарь, если вы когда-нибудь окажетесь в опасности в этом лесу), blow this horn (протрубите в этот /охотничий/ рожок;
The Black Knight took the horn (Черный рыцарь взял рожок) and thanked Locksley for it (и поблагодарил Локсли за него).
"Long live our leader (да здравствует наш предводитель;

Locksley gave the Black Knight a horn. "Noble Knight, if you are ever in danger in this forest, blow this horn and my men will come and help you."
The Black Knight took the horn and thanked Locksley for it.
"Long live our leader!" shouted the outlaws. "And long live the Black Knight!"
"Make room, men (подвиньтесь: «дайте места», люди;
"Who have you got there (кто это у тебя там)?" asked Locksley.
Friar Tuck explained that during the battle (брат Тук объяснил, что во время битвы) he had been looking for the cellar in Front-de-Boeuf's castle (он искал винный погреб с замке Фрон-де-Бёфа;

"Make room, men!" shouted Friar Tuck, who suddenly appeared with Isaac tied to the end of a rope. "Make room for your monk and his prisoner."
"Who have you got there?" asked Locksley.
Friar Tuck explained that during the battle he had been looking for the cellar in Front-de-Boeuf's castle, hoping to find some good French wine. Instead he had found this prisoner in the dungeon.
Isaac bent his head in fear (Исаак склонил голову в страхе;
"For the love of God (во имя Божьей любви), will no one save me from this mad (/неужели/ никто не спасет меня от этого сумасшедшего) — I mean, this holy — man (я имею в виду, этого святого человека;
"Were any of Front-de-Boeuf's men taken prisoner (/был/ кто-нибудь из людей Фрон-де-Бёфа взят в плен)?" asked the Black Knight.
"No one very important (ни один /из них не был/ особо знатен: «важен»)," answered Locksley. "But we did find another monk in the forest (но мы обнаружили другого монаха в лесу) on his way to Torquilstone (он направлялся в Торкилстон: «на его пути в Торкилстон»).

"Were any of Front-de-Boeuf's men taken prisoner?" asked the Black Knight.
"No one very important," answered Locksley. "But we did find another monk in the forest on his way to Torquilstone. Here he comes now." Two of Locksley's men brought Prior Aymer forward to the oak tree.
"What is this, men (в чем дело, люди = что это значит, господа)?" demanded the Prior (потребовал ответа приор;

"What is this, men?" demanded the Prior. "Are you Christians or Arabs, the way you treat a man of God? You have taken away my jewellery and torn my clothes! If you give me some of those treasures, I might forget this mad business."
Friar Tuck, who was still half-drunk, exclaimed (брат Тук, который был все еще наполовину пьян, воскликнул;
Prior Aymer looked at the monk (приор Эймер взглянула на монаха).
"What in Heaven's name is this (а это что это такое, во имя неба)? Please let me know (пожалуйста, скажите мне: «дайте мне знать») how I can escape from these men (как я могу сбежать =

Friar Tuck, who was still half-drunk, exclaimed, "Holy father, you are welcome in our forest!"
Prior Aymer looked at the monk.
"What in Heaven's name is this? Please let me know how I can escape from these men!"
"You will have to pay us to be released, just like this Jew over here," said Locksley.

"Wasn't your daughter dark-haired (не темные ли волосы у твоей дочери: «не была ли твоя дочь темноволосой»;

"Wasn't your daughter dark-haired?" exclaimed one of the outlaws. "Didn't she wear a veil?"
"She did! — she did!" cried the old man. "Can you tell me if she is safe?"
"It was her, then," said the outlaw, "who I saw being carried off by the Templar's men. I would have shot an arrow after them, but I was afraid of hitting the girl instead."
"Oh!" cried Isaac. "Then I wish to God (тогда очень жаль: «я желал бы /именем/ Бога») that you had shot your arrow (чтобы ты выпустил свою стрелу)! Her fate is now with that cruel Templar (ее судьба теперь /зависит/ от этого жестокого храмовника)!"

"Friends," said Locksley, looking around, "this old man's sorrow has touched me. Isaac, take your money and see if you can buy back your child from the Templar.
"I hear that Templars love silver money (я слышал/знаю, что тамплиеры любят серебро: «серебряные деньги») as much as they love beautiful women (так же сильно, как они любят красивых женщин).

"Well then, Jew (что ж, еврей)," said the Prior, looking around him at the outlaws (сказал приор, оглядываясь вокруг /себя и глядя/ на разбойников), "since I must help you (раз уж я должен помочь тебе), can you find me a pen to write with (можешь ли ты найти мне перо, которым /я мог бы/ написать /это письмо/)?"
"I can find you one (я могу найти вам перо), "said Locksley and shot an arrow at a wild goose (сказал Локсли и выпустил стрелу в дикого гуся) which was flying over the trees that very moment (который пролетал над лесом: «деревьями» в тот самый момент;

"Well then, Jew," said the Prior, looking around him at the outlaws, "since I must help you, can you find me a pen to write with?"
"I can find you one, "said Locksley and shot an arrow at a wild goose which was flying over the trees that very moment. The goose fell down at their feet. Locksley pulled a feather out of the goose and gave it to the Prior.
The Prior wrote a short letter to the Templar (приор написал короткое письмо тамплиеру), folded it carefully (сложил его тщательно;
fold [fǝʋld], carefully ['keəf(ə)lɪ], allowed [ǝ'laʋd]
The Prior wrote a short letter to the Templar, folded it carefully, and gave it to Isaac. The Prior was then allowed to leave, and Isaac set off for Templestowe with the letter.
The Black Knight, who had been watching all this with interest (Черный рыцарь, который наблюдал за всем этим с интересом), announced that it was time for him to leave as well (объявил, что настало время и ему уехать тоже).
"Sir Knight," said Locksley, "we each have our secrets still (у каждого из нас все еще есть свои секреты;

"Sir Knight," said Locksley, "we each have our secrets still."
"Next time we meet," said the Black Knight, "it may be without our secrets. Farewell, brave outlaw!" He rode into the forest, taking Wamba and Gurth with him.
At the Castle of York, Prince John met with the allies (в Йоркском замке принц Джон встретился со своими союзниками) who were going to help him (которые собирались помочь ему) take the throne of England from his brother (отобрать престол Англии у его брата;

At the Castle of York, Prince John met with the allies who were going to help him take the throne of England from his brother. Their plans had been delayed because Front-de-Boeuf, De Bracy and Bois-Guilbert were missing.
Isaac of York, from whom they were going to borrow the money (Исаак из Йорка, у которого они собирались занять денег) they needed to raise an army (в которых они нуждались, чтобы собрать армию;

Isaac of York, from whom they were going to borrow the money they needed to raise an army, seemed to have disappeared as well. On the morning after the fall of Torquilstone, rumours reached Prince John that the three Norman knights had been either killed or taken prisoner.
When he heard the news (когда он услышал эту новость), Prince John paced the room impatiently (принц Джон /стал/ ходить /взад и вперед/ по комнате в нетерпении;
"Those cowardly traitors (эти трусливые предатели;

When he heard the news, Prince John paced the room impatiently in front of his allies.
"Those cowardly traitors!" he exclaimed. "Those traitors, leaving me at a time like this. I should hang them from the draw-bridges of their own castles!"
Just then De Bracy arrived to see Prince John (как раз тогда де Браси прибыл, чтобы встретиться с принцем Джоном;

Just then De Bracy arrived to see Prince John. His armour was still covered in blood and dust from the battle at Torquilstone. He took off his helmet and placed it on the table beside the Prince.
"De Bracy," exclaimed Prince John, "what has happened (что случилось;
"The Templar has gone to Templestowe (храмовник уехал в Темплстоу)," said De Bracy, "and you will never see Front-de-Boeuf again (и вы никогда не увидите Фрон-де-Бёфа снова). His grave is in the burning ruins of his castle (его могила в горящих руинах его замка;

"De Bracy," exclaimed Prince John, "what has happened? Speak! Are the Saxons rebelling against us? Where is the Templar? Where is Front-de-Boeuf?"
"The Templar has gone to Templestowe," said De Bracy, "and you will never see Front-de-Boeuf again. His grave is in the burning ruins of his castle. I alone have escaped to come and tell you this. But the worst news is still to come. Richard is in England, and I have seen and spoken to him."
"You are mad, De Bracy (ты сошел с ума, де Браси)," exclaimed Fitzurse. "That cannot be (этого не может быть)!"
"There were only some outlaws with him (только несколько разбойников было вместе с ним), and even they don't know who he is (и даже они не знают, кто он такой)," answered De Bracy. "I heard him say (я слышал, как он сказал) that he had to leave them, though (что он должен покинуть их, однако). He only joined them (он единственно присоединился к ним = он присоединился к ним только для того;

"You are mad, De Bracy," exclaimed Fitzurse. "That cannot be!"
"There were only some outlaws with him, and even they don't know who he is," answered De Bracy. "I heard him say that he had to leave them, though. He only joined them to help them attack Torquilstone."
"What are you going to do (что ты собираешься делать)?" asked Fitzurse.
"I? I am leaving for France at once (я уезжаю во Францию немедленно;
"My good lords (мои добрые господа = друзья)," cried Prince John. "As soon as Richard returns (как только Ричард возвращается), you all leave me (вы все бросаете меня; to

"What are you going to do?" asked Fitzurse.
"I? I am leaving for France at once."
"My good lords," cried Prince John. "As soon as Richard returns, you all leave me. And we are so close to winning everything now!"
"You don't understand (вы не понимаете)," said De Bracy. "As soon as Richard returns (как только Ричард возвратится), he will be at the head of an army (он встанет во главе армии;
"I don't need to save myself (мне не надо спасаться)," said the Prince. "My brother would never harm me (мой брат никогда не причинит мне вреда;

"You don't understand," said De Bracy. "As soon as Richard returns, he will be at the head of an army, and it will be all over for us. I advise all of you to leave for France immediately."
"I don't need to save myself," said the Prince. "My brother would never harm me. But I must find him first!"
"Well, I shall not help you (что ж, я не буду помогать вам)," said De Bracy quickly (сказал де Браси поспешно). "I was his prisoner (я был его пленником), and he let me go (и он отпустил меня: «он позволил мне уйти»). I will not harm him (я не причиню вреда ему)."
"Who spoke of harming him (кто говорил о причинении ему вреда)?" said Prince John, smiling (сказал принц Джон, улыбаясь). "No, we will just take him prisoner (нет, мы только возьмем его в плен). Whether in England or in Austria, what does it matter (в Англии или в Австрии, какое это имеет значение;

"I think the best prison is a grave," said Fitzurse.
"Prison or grave (тюрьма или могила), I wash my hands of the whole matter (я умываю руки /от всего этого дела/;
Prince John ordered Fitzurse (принц Джон приказал Фицурсу) to take his men and find the King (взять своих людей и найти короля).
"They are going to take my brother prisoner (они возьмут моего брата в плен)," he said to De Bracy, when Fitzurse had left (сказал он де Браси, когда Фицурс ушел). "And I hope they will show proper respect for the life of dear Richard (и я надеюсь, что они проявят должное уважение к жизни дорогого Ричарда;
De Bracy only answered with a smile, and left (де Браси ответил только улыбкой =

"Prison or grave, I wash my hands of the whole matter," said De Bracy.
Prince John ordered Fitzurse to take his men and find the King.
"They are going to take my brother prisoner," he said to De Bracy, when Fitzurse had left. "And I hope they will show proper respect for the life of dear Richard."
De Bracy only answered with a smile, and left.
In the meantime, the Grand Master of the Templars, Lucas de Beaumanoir (тем временем, великий магистр ордена тамплиеров, Лука де Бомануар;
Grand Master ['ɡræn(d)'mɑ:stǝ], arrive [ǝ'raɪv], decide [dɪ'saɪd]
In the meantime, the Grand Master of the Templars, Lucas de Beaumanoir, had come from Palestine and arrived suddenly at Templestowe. He had heard rumours about the Templars in England and had decided to come and see things for himself.
The Grand Master was a thin old man (великий магистр был худым стариком;
"The Templars in England are even worse (тамплиеры в Англии даже еще хуже) than those in France (чем /тамплиеры/ во Франции)!" he exclaimed to his servant (воскликнул он, /обращаясь/ к своему слуге).

The Grand Master was a thin old man with a long grey beard, but he still had the spirit of a fighter in him, and he was very angry at what he found at Templestowe.
"The Templars in England are even worse than those in France!" he exclaimed to his servant.
"This is because they are richer (это оттого, что они богаче). They do not take our battles in Palestine seriously (они не воспринимают наши сражения в Палестине всерьез;

"This is because they are richer. They do not take our battles in Palestine seriously, and instead enjoy themselves drinking, hunting and fighting here. I've heard people say that the Templars drink wine as if it were water. In England, it is apparently common to boast that one can drink like a Templar!"
A servant came in and interrupted the Grand Master (вошел слуга и прервал /слова/ великого магистра).
"There is a Jew standing at the gate (какой-то еврей стоит у ворот) who wants to speak to brother Brian de Bois-Guilbert (который хочет поговорить с братом Брианом де Буа-Гильбером)."

A servant came in and interrupted the Grand Master.
"There is a Jew standing at the gate who wants to speak to brother Brian de Bois-Guilbert."
"Send the Jew in."
Isaac came in and bowed deeply to the Grand Master (Исаак вошел и низко поклонился великому магистру;
"What is your business with our brother Brian de Bois-Guilbert (что у тебя за дело к нашему брату Бриану де Буа-Гильберу)?" demanded the Grand Master (потребовал ответа великий магистр).

Isaac came in and bowed deeply to the Grand Master. Then he folded his hands respectfully. He had heard that Lucas de Beaumanoir had been cruel to both Arabs and Jews alike in Palestine, and now looked at the Grand Master with great fear.
"What is your business with our brother Brian de Bois-Guilbert?" demanded the Grand Master.
"I have a letter from Prior Aymer for the good knight (у меня письмо от приора Эймера к этому достойному рыцарю;

"Didn't I say these were evil times," the Grand Master said to his servant. "A prior sends a letter to a Templar and can find no better man to carry it than a Jew! Give me the letter!"
With shaking hands, Isaac unfolded the letter (трясущимися руками Исаак развернул письмо;
"Back, dog (назад, пес)!" shouted the Grand Master. "I will not touch unbelievers myself (я не прикоснусь к неверным сам;

With shaking hands, Isaac unfolded the letter and was about to give it to the Grand Master.
"Back, dog!" shouted the Grand Master. "I will not touch unbelievers myself, except with my sword!"
The servant took the letter from Isaac and gave it to the Grand Master.
He read the letter quickly (он прочитал письмо быстро), and a look of surprise and horror crossed his face (и выражение удивления и ужаса промелькнуло на его лице;
surprise [sǝ'praɪz], horror ['hɔrǝ], punish ['pʌnɪʃ], sinner ['sɪnǝ]
He read the letter quickly, and a look of surprise and horror crossed his face. Then he read it again more slowly and turned his eyes up to Heaven. "When will You come and punish these sinners! Read it aloud," he said and handed the letter to his servant.
"Prior Aymer to Brian de Bois-Guilbert," read the servant (прочитал слуга). "I am a prisoner in the hands (я являюсь пленником в руках) of some lawless and godless men (каких-то беззаконных и безбожных людей;

Don't forget to bring your wine cup!
Till we meet again, Prior Aymer."
"What does he mean by saying that she is a witch (что он имеет в виду, говоря, что она ведьма;

"Peace (тихо;

"What does he mean by saying that she is a witch?" asked the Grand Master. "Your daughter, Jew, is a prisoner of Brian de Bois-Guilbert?"
"Yes, sir," said Isaac, "and whatever I can pay to —"
"Peace!" said the Grand Master. "Your daughter is famous for healing wounds, isn't she?"
"Yes," said Isaac, proudly (сказал Исаак с гордостью), "she is a very clever child (она очень умная девочка;

"Ah, false Jew," said the Grand Master, "then she is a witch! I will teach her to cast spells on my Templars!

Albert de Malvoisin, the Templar in charge of Templestowe (Альберт де Мальвуазен, старший рыцарь Темплстоу;

Albert de Malvoisin, the Templar in charge of Templestowe, came in and listened politely to the complaints of the Grand Master.
"And finally, how can it be that you have a Jewish witch in this holy place?" the Grand Master shouted.
"A Jewish witch (еврейская ведьма)!" exclaimed Malvoisin, confused (воскликнул Мальвуазен, в замешательстве). He had helped Bois-Guilbert secretly hide Rebecca in Templestowe (он помог Буа-Гильберу тайно спрятать Ревекку в Темплстоу;
confused [kən'fju:zd], sure [ʃʋǝ], angel ['eɪndʒ(ə)l]
"A Jewish witch!" exclaimed Malvoisin, confused. He had helped Bois-Guilbert secretly hide Rebecca in Templestowe, but he was sure that no one knew of it. "Good angels protect us!"
"Yes, brother, a Jewish witch (да, брат, еврейская ведьма)," said the Grand Master. "She was brought here by Bois-Guilbert (она была привезена сюда Буа-Гильбером). Have you got anything to say to this (есть ли у вас что сказать на это = что вы можете сказать на это)?"
"Well, that explains everything (что ж, это объясняет все)! I was wondering why so good a knight as Bois-Guilbert (я все удивлялся, отчего такой достойный рыцарь, как Буа-Гильбер;

"Yes, brother, a Jewish witch," said the Grand Master. "She was brought here by Bois-Guilbert. Have you got anything to say to this?"
"Well, that explains everything! I was wondering why so good a knight as Bois-Guilbert should be so fond of that woman. It seemed so strange to me, and I thought he was mad, but now you have let me understand that it was magic!"
"Maybe our brother Bois-Guilbert deserves pity more than punishment (может быть, наш брат Буа-Гильбер заслуживает сожаления больше, чем наказания;

"Maybe our brother Bois-Guilbert deserves pity more than punishment. I hear that he is one of the best knights we have! In Palestine, he killed over three hundred Arabs with his sword. Go and tell him of the news."
Albert de Malvoisin hurried out of the hall to warn Bois-Guilbert (Альберт де Мальвуазен поспешил из залы, чтобы предупредить Буа-Гильбера). He found him pacing his room angrily (он нашел его расхаживающим по комнате в ярости;

Albert de Malvoisin hurried out of the hall to warn Bois-Guilbert. He found him pacing his room angrily.
"She still refuses me," said Bois-Guilbert. "Even though I risked my life to save her! The devil seems to be inside her!"
"The devil seems to be inside both of you (бес, кажется, вселился в вас обоих)," replied Malvoisin. "That old man Lucas de Beaumanoir has found out about your Jewess (старый Лука де Бомануар разузнал о твоей еврейке;
both [bǝʋθ], victim ['vɪktɪm], of course [ɔv'kɔ:s]
"The devil seems to be inside both of you," replied Malvoisin. "That old man Lucas de Beaumanoir has found out about your Jewess and says she has cast a spell on you. At least he pities you — to him, you are the victim of a witch — but she will of course have to die."
"She will not, by Heaven (она не /умрет/, клянусь небом)!" exclaimed Bois-Guilbert.
"By Heaven, she must and she will (клянусь небом, она должна /умереть/ и она умрет)!" said Malvoisin. "Lucas de Beaumanoir has decided that her death will make up for all of our sins here at Templestowe (Лука де Бомануар решил, что ее смерть искупит все наши грехи здесь, в Темплстоу;
death [deθ], sin [sɪn], throw [θrǝʋ]
"She will not, by Heaven!" exclaimed Bois-Guilbert.
"By Heaven, she must and she will!" said Malvoisin. "Lucas de Beaumanoir has decided that her death will make up for all of our sins here at Templestowe. There will be a trial tomorrow. So throw yourself at the Grand Master's feet and tell him —"
"No, by Heaven (нет, клянусь небом)! He thinks that she is a witch (он думает, что она ведьма)? Will future ages believe that such prejudice ever existed (поверят ли будущие поколения, что такой предрассудок вообще существовал;

"No, by Heaven! He thinks that she is a witch? Will future ages believe that such prejudice ever existed?" said Bois-Guilbert, pacing the room again. "Malvoisin, you are a cold-blooded —"
"Friend (друг)!" Malvoisin added quickly (Мальвуазен добавил поспешно). "And let me give you some friendly advice (и позволь мне дать тебе дружеский совет): women are only for amusement (женщины только для развлечений;

"Friend!" Malvoisin added quickly. "And let me give you some friendly advice: women are only for amusement. Ambition is the serious business in life. You could become the Grand Master yourself one day. Think of that!"
He left the room to start preparing for the trial.
"Rebecca," said Bois-Guilbert, when he was alone (когда он остался один), "why can I not leave you to your fate (почему я не могу оставить тебя твоей же судьбе), as this hypocrite suggests (как этот лицемер предлагает;
hypocrite ['hɪpəkrɪt], suggest [sǝ'dʒest], honour ['ɔnǝ]
"Rebecca," said Bois-Guilbert, when he was alone, "why can I not leave you to your fate, as this hypocrite suggests? But beware, Rebecca, I will not risk my life and honour if you refuse me again!"
The trial of Rebecca began the next day at noon (суд над Ребеккой начался на следующий день в полдень) in the great hall of Templestowe (в большом зале /замка/ Темплстоу). As Rebecca was led through the crowd (пока Ревекку вели через толпу), she felt a piece of paper being pressed into her hand (она почувствовала, как клочок бумаги был вложен в ее руку;
noon [nu:n], crowd [kraʋd], piece [pi:s]
The trial of Rebecca began the next day at noon in the great hall of Templestowe. As Rebecca was led through the crowd, she felt a piece of paper being pressed into her hand.
When everyone had taken their seats (когда все заняли свои места;
accusation ['ækjʋ'zeɪʃ(ə)n], witness ['wɪtnɪs], question ['kwesʧ(ə)n], practise ['præktɪs], magic ['mædʒɪk]
When everyone had taken their seats, the accusations against Rebecca were read out and the first witnesses were questioned. Albert de Malvoisin had worked very hard to find people who were willing to say they had seen Rebecca practise magic.
One by one, people from the neighbouring villages came forward (один за одним люди из соседних деревень выходили вперед;
neighbouring ['neɪb(ə)rɪŋ], village ['vɪlɪdʒ], forward ['fɔ:wəd]
One by one, people from the neighbouring villages came forward and said they had seen Rebecca heal the sick and wounded with magic spells.
When the last witness had spoken (когда последний свидетель высказался), the Grand Master ordered Rebecca to take off her veil (великий магистр приказал Ребекке снять свою вуаль). It was not the custom for the daughters of her people (это не было в обычаях дочерей ее страны), Rebecca explained (объяснила Ревекка), to uncover their faces in front of a crowd of strangers (открывать свои лица перед толпой незнакомцев;
custom ['kʌstəm], explain [ɪk'spleɪn], uncover[ʌn'kʌvǝ], stranger ['streɪndʒǝ]
When the last witness had spoken, the Grand Master ordered Rebecca to take off her veil. It was not the custom for the daughters of her people, Rebecca explained, to uncover their faces in front of a crowd of strangers.
But she removed her veil (но она сняла свою вуаль;
remove [rɪ'mu:v], great [ɡreɪt], beauty ['bju:tɪ], each [i:ʧ]
But she removed her veil, and the crowd cried out in surprise at her great beauty. The young Templars looked at each other and knew that their brother Brian had been a victim of Rebecca's beauty rather than of her magic spells.
"I ask you, Brian de Bois-Guilbert (я спрашиваю вас, Бриан де Буа-Гильбер),"said Rebecca, "are these terrible accusations against me not false (разве эти ужасные обвинения против меня не лживы)?"
There was a pause (наступила пауза). All eyes turned to Brian de Bois-Guilbert (все взоры обратились к Бриану де Буа-Гильберу).
terrible ['terəb(ə)l], false [fɔ:ls], pause [pɔ:z]
"I ask you, Brian de Bois-Guilbert," said Rebecca, "are these terrible accusations against me not false?"
There was a pause. All eyes turned to Brian de Bois-Guilbert.
"Speak (говорите)," Rebecca exclaimed, "if you are a man (если вы мужчина), if you are a Christian (если вы христианин)! Are these accusations true (разве эти обвинения правдивы)?"
"Answer her, brother (ответьте ей, брат)," said the Grand Master, "if the devil who is inside you will allow you to (если бес, сидящий в вас, позволит вам /сделать это/;
true [tru:], brother ['brʌðǝ], allow [ǝ'laʋ]
"Speak," Rebecca exclaimed, "if you are a man, if you are a Christian! Are these accusations true?"
"Answer her, brother," said the Grand Master, "if the devil who is inside you will allow you to."
Bois-Guilbert's face seemed to show many different feelings at the same time (лицо Буа-Гильбера, казалось, выражало много различных чувств одновременно: «в одно и то же время»), and for a moment he was unable to speak (и какое-то мгновение он не мог говорить;
"Yes," said Beaumanoir. "Here is the proof (вот и доказательство;
feeling ['fi:lɪŋ], unable[ʌn'eɪb(ə)l], paper ['peɪpǝ], proof [pru:f], mention ['menʃ(ə)n]
Bois-Guilbert's face seemed to show many different feelings at the same time, and for a moment he was unable to speak. Finally he looked at Rebecca and cried, "The paper! — the paper!"
"Yes," said Beaumanoir. "Here is the proof. The poor victim can only mention the piece of paper on which she has written her magic spells!"
But to Rebecca the Templar's words had a different meaning (но для Ревекки слова рыцаря храма имели другой смысл;
different ['dɪf(ə)rənt], meaning ['mi:nɪŋ], champion ['ʧæmpɪən]
But to Rebecca the Templar's words had a different meaning and she looked down at the piece of paper in her hand. On it was written, "Demand a champion!" in Arabic writing.
"Rebecca, have you got anything to say to this (Ревекка, что ты можешь сказать на это: «есть ли у тебя что сказать на это»)?" demanded the Grand Master (потребовал ответа великий магистр).
"I am innocent (я невиновна;
innocent ['ɪnəs(ə)nt], combat ['kɔmbæt], thereby [ðɛə'baɪ, 'ðeəbaɪ], innocence ['ɪnəs(ə)ns]
"Rebecca, have you got anything to say to this?" demanded the Grand Master.
"I am innocent, and this accusation is false. I demand a trial by combat and thereby have a champion fight for my innocence."
"And who, Rebecca (а кто, Ревекка)," replied the Grand Master, "would fight for a witch (будет сражаться за ведьму)? Who would be the champion for a Jewess (кто станет защитником еврейки)?"
"God will give me a champion (Бог пошлет: «даст» мне защитника)," said Rebecca and laid her glove down in front of the Grand Master (сказала Ревекка и положила свою перчатку перед Великим Магистром;
fight [faɪt], laid [leɪd], glove [ɡlʌv]
"And who, Rebecca," replied the Grand Master, "would fight for a witch? Who would be the champion for a Jewess?"
"God will give me a champion," said Rebecca and laid her glove down in front of the Grand Master.
"Brothers (братья)," said the Grand Master, looking around (оглядываясь вокруг), "we cannot refuse this woman her right to a trial by combat (мы не можем отказать этой женщине в праве на суд через поединок;
refuse [rɪ'fju:z], challenge ['ʧælɪndʒ], prove [pru:v], guilt [ɡɪlt]
"Brothers," said the Grand Master, looking around, "we cannot refuse this woman her right to a trial by combat. Rebecca, daughter of Isaac of York, has challenged us to prove her guilt.
"Albert de Malvoisin, give this glove to Brian de Bois-Guilbert (Альберт де Мальвуазен, отдайте эту перчатку Бриану де Буа-Гильберу). I've decided that he shall fight (я решил, что он должен сражаться) against her champion for us (против ее защитника за нас)! Rebecca, you have three days to find yourself a champion (Ревекка, у тебя три дня, чтобы найти себе защитника)."

"Albert de Malvoisin, give this glove to Brian de Bois-Guilbert. I've decided that he shall fight against her champion for us! Rebecca, you have three days to find yourself a champion."
"That is a very short time (это очень небольшой период времени;
"How (как)!" said the Grand Master, looking over to Brian de Bois-Guilbert (сказал великий магистр, глядя на Бриана де Буа-Гильбера). "Will he not agree (/разве/ он не согласится /принять перчатку/)?"
short [ʃɔ:t], someone ['sʌmwʌn], will [wɪl], done [dʌn]
"That is a very short time," answered Rebecca, "for a stranger to this part of the country to find someone to fight for her. But God's will be done!"
"How!" said the Grand Master, looking over to Brian de Bois-Guilbert. "Will he not agree?"
Albert de Malvoisin was still holding the glove (Альберт де Мальвуазен все еще держал перчатку;
"He will (он /согласится/) — he does (он /соглашается/)," said Malvoisin, quickly putting the glove under his own robe (быстро убирая перчатку под свое /собственное/ одеяние;
voice [vɔɪs], own [ǝʋn], robe [rǝʋb]
Albert de Malvoisin was still holding the glove and speaking to Bois-Guilbert in a low voice.
"He will — he does," said Malvoisin, quickly putting the glove under his own robe. "And I suggest that the trial by combat take place right here in the lists outside Templestowe."
"Very well (очень хорошо)," replied the Grand Master. "Rebecca, if you fail to find a champion for yourself in time (Ревекка, если тебе не удастся найти себе защитника вовремя; to
Rebecca didn't speak (Ревекка не говорила = молчала), but folded her hands and looked up to Heaven (но сложила /свои/ руки и подняла глаза к небу). Then she quickly wrote a message on a piece of paper (затем она быстро написала письмо на клочке бумаги) and handed it to one of the servants (и вручила его одному из слуг).
"Find Isaac of York as fast as you can (найди Исаака из Йорка так быстро, как только сможешь;

"Very well," replied the Grand Master. "Rebecca, if you fail to find a champion for yourself in time, you will die the death of a witch!"
Rebecca didn't speak, but folded her hands and looked up to Heaven. Then she quickly wrote a message on a piece of paper and handed it to one of the servants. "Find Isaac of York as fast as you can and give him this message!"
Later that day after the trial (позже в тот же день, после суда), Rebecca heard a low knock at the door to her room at Templestowe (Ревекка услышала тихий стук в дверь своей комнаты в Темплстоу;
heard [hǝ:d], farthest ['fɑ:ðɪst], corner ['kɔ:nǝ]
Later that day after the trial, Rebecca heard a low knock at the door to her room at Templestowe. When she saw Brian de Bois-Guilbert enter, she ran back into the farthest corner of the room.
"You have no reason to be afraid of me, Rebecca (у тебя нет никакой причины бояться меня, Ревекка;
reason ['ri:z(ə)n], intend [ɪn'tend], only ['ǝʋnlɪ]
"You have no reason to be afraid of me, Rebecca," the Templar said. "Do not think that I intended this to happen. I was only trying to save your life by rescuing you at Torquilstone."
"If you were trying honourably to protect the innocent (если бы вы пытались благородно защитить невиновных;
"Your words are bitter (твои слова горьки)," said Bois-Guilbert, pacing the floor of her room impatiently (расхаживая по полу ее комнаты =
honourably ['ɔn(ə)rəblɪ], bitter ['bɪtǝ], argue ['ɑ:ɡju:]
"If you were trying honourably to protect the innocent, I might have thanked you!"
"Your words are bitter," said Bois-Guilbert, pacing the floor of her room impatiently, "but I haven't come to argue with you.
"Who do you think gave you that piece of paper (кто, как ты думаешь, дал тебе тот клочок бумаги) telling you to demand a champion (подсказавший: «говорящий» тебе потребовать защитника)? I wanted to be your champion (я хотел быть твоим защитником), but that old fool forced me to fight against your champion instead (но этот старый дурак заставил меня бороться против твоего защитника вместо этого). Listen, Rebecca (послушай, Ревекка)," said the Knight, coming closer to her (сказал рыцарь, подходя ближе к ней), "if I go and fight in the lists (если я пойду и буду сражаться на ристалище), you will surely die (ты точно умрешь;

"Who do you think gave you that piece of paper telling you to demand a champion? I wanted to be your champion, but that old fool forced me to fight against your champion instead. Listen, Rebecca," said the Knight, coming closer to her, "if I go and fight in the lists, you will surely die.
"Ivanhoe could not possibly be strong enough to fight for you (Айвенго не может быть достаточно сильным, чтобы сражаться за тебя;
strong [strɔŋ], foreign ['fɔrɪŋ], everything ['evrɪθɪŋ], appear [ǝ'pɪǝ]
"Ivanhoe could not possibly be strong enough to fight for you, and Richard is in a foreign prison. And yet, Rebecca," he threw himself at her feet, "I will give up everything and not appear in the lists, if you will only say that you love me!"
"Don't think of such foolishness, Sir Knight (и не думайте о такой глупости, сэр рыцарь;
foolishness ['fu:lɪʃnɪs], without [wɪ'ðaʋt], return [rɪ'tǝ:n]
"Don't think of such foolishness, Sir Knight," said Rebecca. "Save me from this terrible death without asking for something from me in return!"
"No!" said the proud Templar, rising to his feet (сказал гордый тамплиер, поднимаясь на ноги). "If I give up my ambition of becoming Grand Master (если я откажусь от своих честолюбивых замыслов стать великим магистром), it will be for your love alone (то только ради твоей любви;
alone [ǝ'lǝʋn], softly ['sɔftlɪ], world [wǝ:ld]
"No!" said the proud Templar, rising to his feet. "If I give up my ambition of becoming Grand Master, it will be for your love alone! We can escape together! Listen to me Rebecca," he added softly, "England — Europe — is not the world. I have friends in Palestine. We can go there together!"
"A dream (/всего лишь/ мечта;
"Never, Rebecca (никогда, Ревекка)!" said the Templar angrily (сказал рыцарь Храма гневно). "If you refuse my love (если ты отвергнешь мою любовь), I will still have my ambition (у меня все еще останутся мои честолюбивые планы). Ask Richard for help (простить Ричарда о помощи;
dream [dri:m], never ['nevǝ], farewell [fɛə'wel]
"A dream," replied Rebecca. "Go and find King Richard instead. He will help me against these cruel men."
"Never, Rebecca!" said the Templar angrily. "If you refuse my love, I will still have my ambition. Ask Richard for help? Never, Rebecca! Farewell!"
When the Black Knight left the outlaws (когда Черный рыцарь оставил разбойников;
straight [streɪt], priory ['praɪərɪ], matter ['mætǝ]
When the Black Knight left the outlaws, he rode straight back to the priory near the ruins of Torquilstone, where he had left the wounded Ivanhoe. The two of them discussed some important matters, and the Black Knight sent messengers out in all directions.
"We will meet again (мы встретимся снова)," the Black Knight said to Ivanhoe as he got up to leave (сказал Черный рыцарь Айвенго, когда поднялся, чтобы уйти), "at Coningsburgh, the castle of the dead Athelstane (в Конингсбурге, замке погибшего Ательстана;
"I want to come with you (я хочу поехать с вами)!"
"Rest today, Wilfred (отдохни сегодня, Уилфрид;
arrange [ǝ'reɪndʒ], funeral ['fju:n(ə)rəl], strength [streŋθ, strenθ], guide [ɡaɪd]
"We will meet again," the Black Knight said to Ivanhoe as he got up to leave, "at Coningsburgh, the castle of the dead Athelstane, where your father will be arranging his funeral."
"I want to come with you!"
"Rest today, Wilfred, otherwise you won't have the strength to travel tomorrow. I will take Wamba here as my guide."
"I fear you have chosen (я боюсь, что вы выбрали) a talkative and troublesome fool to be your guide (болтливого и назойливого шута в качестве проводника: «быть вашим проводником»;
Ivanhoe kissed the Knight's hand (Айвенго поцеловал руку рыцаря) and watched him mount his horse (и посмотрел, как тот взобрался на коня;
talkative ['tɔ:kətɪv], troublesome ['trʌb(ə)ls(ə)m], mount [maʋnt]
"I fear you have chosen a talkative and troublesome fool to be your guide. But he knows every road in this forest."
Ivanhoe kissed the Knight's hand and watched him mount his horse. As soon as the Black Knight had left, Ivanhoe went to tell the prior that he would be leaving as well. Together with Gurth, Ivanhoe then set off on the road which the Black Knight and Wamba had taken into the forest.
On their way through the forest (по пути через лес), Wamba sang happily for the Black Knight (Вамба распевал с удовольствием /песни/ для Черного рыцаря;
"I wish, Sir Jester (жаль, сэр Шут: «как бы мне хотелось, сэр Шут»)," said the Black Knight, laughing (сказал Черный рыцарь, смеясь), "that Friar Tuck could hear your songs now (что брат Тук не слышит, как ты поешь сейчас: «чтобы брат Тук мог бы услышать твои песни сейчас»)."
happily ['hæpɪlɪ], join [dʒɔɪn], laughing ['lɑ:fɪŋ], friar ['fraɪǝ]
On their way through the forest, Wamba sang happily for the Black Knight, and the Knight soon joined in himself.
"I wish, Sir Jester," said the Black Knight, laughing, "that Friar Tuck could hear your songs now."
"Unless I am mistaken, Sir Knight (если я не ошибаюсь, сэр рыцарь)," Wamba said, "some men have been watching us (какие-то люди наблюдают за нами) from among the trees for a while (из-за деревьев уже некоторое время;
unless[ʌn'les, ən-], mistaken [mɪ'steɪkən], among [ǝ'mʌŋ]
"Unless I am mistaken, Sir Knight," Wamba said, "some men have been watching us from among the trees for a while. If they were friends, they would have joined us on the road."
At that moment three arrows hit (в этот самый момент три стрелы ударились = попали;
"What does this mean (что это значит)!" shouted the Knight angrily (вскричал рыцарь гневно). The men that Wamba had seen rushed forward (те самые люди, которых видел Вамба, бросились вперед) and attacked the Knight from all sides (и напали на рыцаря со всех сторон) with their swords, shouting "Die!" (с мечами и криками "Умри!": «выкрикивая "Умри!"»).
arrow ['ærǝʋ], shout [ʃaʋt], angrily ['æŋɡrɪlɪ], rush [rʌf], die [daɪ]
At that moment three arrows hit against the helmet of the Black Knight.
"What does this mean!" shouted the Knight angrily. The men that Wamba had seen rushed forward and attacked the Knight from all sides with their swords, shouting "Die!"
A knight in blue armour rode out from behind them (какой-то рыцарь в синих доспехах выехал /верхом/ из-за них;
blue [blu:], fell [fel], continue [kən'tɪnju:], outnumber [aʋt'nʌmbǝ], blew [blu:], might [maɪt]
A knight in blue armour rode out from behind them and wounded the Black Knight's horse with his lance. The Black Knight fell to the ground and got up to continue fighting on foot. Seeing that the Black Knight was greatly outnumbered, Wamba quickly grabbed Locksley's horn from him and blew it with all his might.
The Blue Knight had already forced the Black Knight up against a tree (Синий рыцарь уже вынудил Черного рыцаря отступить к дереву;
tree [tri:], head [hed], group [ɡru:p]
The Blue Knight had already forced the Black Knight up against a tree and was about to kill him with his lance, when suddenly Locksley and Friar Tuck appeared at the head of a group of outlaws.
Within a few minutes (через несколько минут; w

Within a few minutes, most of the attackers lay dead or wounded on the ground. Wamba ran up to the Blue Knight, who lay under his fallen horse, and pulled his helmet off.
"Waldemar Fitzurse!" said the Black Knight, surprised (сказал Черный рыцарь с удивлением). "What made you do this (что заставило тебя так поступить)?"
"Richard," said Fitzurse, looking up at him (глядя на него;
"Who asked you to become a traitor (кто попросил тебя стать предателем;
"Your own father's son (сын твоего родного отца;

"Waldemar Fitzurse!" said the Black Knight, surprised. "What made you do this?"
"Richard," said Fitzurse, looking up at him. "If only you knew what ambition can make people do."
"Who asked you to become a traitor?"
"Your own father's son," answered Fitzurse.
An angry look crossed the Black Knight's face (гневное выражение промелькнуло на лице Черного рыцаря), but he calmed himself down again (но он снова успокоился;
"I will spare your life on one condition (я пощажу твою жизнь при одном условии;
cross [krɔs], calm [kɑ:m], spare [spɛə], condition [kən'dɪʃ(ə)n], unharmed[ʌn'hɑ:md]
An angry look crossed the Black Knight's face, but he calmed himself down again.
"I will spare your life on one condition. Leave England and go back to your Norman castle within three days. Let him leave us unharmed, Locksley."
"I would have sent an arrow after him (я бы выпустил стрелу ему вслед: «за ним»)," said Locksley, watching Fitzurse leave (наблюдая, как Фицурс уезжает), "and saved him the trouble of such a long journey (и избавил бы его от такого длинного путешествия;
"No. You have an English heart, Locksley (у тебя английская душа, Локсли;

"I would have sent an arrow after him," said Locksley, watching Fitzurse leave, "and saved him the trouble of such a long journey."
"No. You have an English heart, Locksley," said the Black Knight, taking off his helmet, "and therefore you must do what I say, for I am Richard of England."
As he spoke these words (когда он произнес эти слова), the outlaws immediately fell on their knees in front of him (разбойники немедленно пали на колени перед ним) and asked him to forgive them for the crimes (и попросили его простить их за те преступления;
"Rise, my friends (встаньте, мои друзья)," said the King, looking down at them (сказал король, глядя на них).

As he spoke these words, the outlaws immediately fell on their knees in front of him and asked him to forgive them for the crimes that they had committed as outlaws.
"Rise, my friends," said the King, looking down at them.
"Your crimes are forgiven (ваши преступления прощены;
"You don't need to call me Locksley any longer, my lord (вам больше не обязательно называть меня Локсли, мой господин = государь). You can use the name (вы можете использовать имя) which I am also known by (под которым я также известен;

"Your crimes are forgiven through your loyal service to me at Torquilstone and here in the forest today. And you, brave Locksley —"
"You don't need to call me Locksley any longer, my lord. You can use the name which I am also known by: I am Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest."
"King of outlaws (король разбойников)!" exclaimed the King. "Who has not heard of that name (кто не слышал этого имени), from here all the way to Palestine (отсюда до самой Палестины;
nothing ['nʌθɪŋ], troubled ['trʌb(ə)ld], abroad [ǝ'brɔ:d]
"King of outlaws!" exclaimed the King. "Who has not heard of that name, from here all the way to Palestine! Nothing that you have done in these troubled times while I have been abroad will ever be held against you."
"It is true what they say (это правда, что говорят)," said Wamba, "when the cat is away (когда кота нет), the mice will play (мыши будут резвиться;
"Wamba," said the King, "your good service will not be forgotten, either (твоя добрая служба тоже не будет забыта;
mice [maɪs], service ['sǝ:vɪs], forgotten [fǝ'ɡɔtn], either ['aɪðǝ]
"It is true what they say," said Wamba, "when the cat is away, the mice will play."
"Wamba," said the King, "your good service will not be forgotten, either."
At that moment, two horsemen arrived (в этот момент появились двое всадников;
horseman ['hɔ:smən], war-horse ['wɔ:hɔ:s], lying ['laɪɪŋ]
At that moment, two horsemen arrived. One was Ivanhoe on the prior's horse, and the other was Gurth on Ivanhoe's war-horse. Ivanhoe was surprised to see the group of outlaws and six or seven dead bodies lying on the ground. He was even more surprised to see the King without his helmet on.
"Don't be afraid, Wilfred, to call me Richard (не бойся, Уилфрид, называть меня Ричардом) in the company of these true English hearts (в компании этих истинно английских сердец;
"I don't doubt that (я не сомневаюсь в этом;

"Don't be afraid, Wilfred, to call me Richard in the company of these true English hearts," said the King.
"I don't doubt that," answered Ivanhoe, looking around. "But what does this mean, these dead men and the blood on the armour of my King?"
"Traitors have been with us, Wilfred (предатели оказались с нами =

"Traitors have been with us, Wilfred," said the King, "but thanks to these brave men, those traitors have met their deaths. But, I think you have been a traitor yourself," he continued, smiling at Ivanhoe. "Did I not clearly tell you to rest in the priory until your wounds have healed?"
"They have healed (они зажили/залечились)," said Ivanhoe. "But why, noble King, do you trouble your servants (но почему, благородный король, вы тревожите своих слуг;
"Richard is prouder to fight (Ричард испытывает большее чувство гордости, когда сражается: «более горд сражаться»;

"They have healed," said Ivanhoe. "But why, noble King, do you trouble your servants by risking your life on lonely journeys and dangerous adventures!"
"Richard is prouder to fight when he only has his good sword," said the King, "than when he leads an army of a hundred thousand men into battle."
"But your kingdom, my lord (но ваше королевство, государь)," exclaimed Ivanhoe, "your kingdom is threatened by civil war (вашему королевству грозит гражданская война;

"But your kingdom, my lord," exclaimed Ivanhoe, "your kingdom is threatened by civil war. You are the only one who can unite this country. You owe that to your people!"
"My kingdom and my people (мое королевство и мой народ)!" answered Richard. "As I told you at the priory (как я сказал тебе в монастыре), I have to remain in disguise (я вынужден оставаться неузнанным = скрывать, кто я;

"My kingdom and my people!" answered Richard. "As I told you at the priory, I have to remain in disguise to give my allies in England time to raise an army. In that way, when the return of the King is announced, we will be able to stop any Normans or Saxons from rebelling against us."
He turned to Robin Hood (он повернулся к Робин Гуду).
"King of outlaws (король разбойников)! Have you no food and drink for your fellow King (нет ли у тебя еды и питья для твоего собрата-короля;
A meal was quickly prepared (яства были быстро приготовлены;

He turned to Robin Hood.
"King of outlaws! Have you no food and drink for your fellow King?"
A meal was quickly prepared beneath a nearby oak tree. The outlaws hesitated at first at the idea of eating with the King of England, but he laughed and joked with them, and soon they happily joined him in the food and wine.
"We are honoured by the presence of our King (своим присутствием король оказал нам честь = нам лестно присутствие нашего короля;
"Well spoken, brave Robin Hood (хорошо сказано, храбрый Робин Гуд)," said Ivanhoe.

"We are honoured by the presence of our King," Robin Hood said to Ivanhoe, "yet we wouldn't want him to be delayed, if the kingdom is in danger."
"Well spoken, brave Robin Hood," said Ivanhoe.
"Wilfred is impatient (Уилфрид нетерпелив)," said Richard, and decided it was time for them to leave (и решил, что им пора уезжать: «это было время для них, чтобы уехать»). Robin Hood gave the King his hand (Робин Гуд протянул королю свою руку), and Richard promised to help him in future (и Ричард пообещал помочь ему в будущем), should he ever need the King's help (если тому когда-либо понадобится помощь короля). While the sun began to set over the trees above them (когда солнце начало садиться за деревьями над ними), Ivanhoe, Wamba and Gurth set off with the King towards the Castle of Coningsburgh (Айвенго, Вамба и Гурт отправились с королем к замку Конингсбург).
impatient [ɪm'peɪʃ(ə)nt], promise ['prɔmɪs], towards [tǝ'wɔ:dz]
"Wilfred is impatient," said Richard, and decided it was time for them to leave. Robin Hood gave the King his hand, and Richard promised to help him in future, should he ever need the King's help. While the sun began to set over the trees above them, Ivanhoe, Wamba and Gurth set off with the King towards the Castle of Coningsburgh.
A large black flag was flying (большой черный флаг развевался;
tower ['taʋǝ], sheep [ʃi:p], oxen ['ɔks(ə)n], roast [rǝʋst]
A large black flag was flying over the highest tower of the Castle of Coningsburgh. Inside, everyone was busy with the funeral arrangements for Athelstane. According to Saxon custom, sheep and oxen were being roasted in the courtyard.
While the crowd of funeral guests ate and drank (пока толпа поминающих: «похоронных гостей/гостей на похоронах» ела и пила;
ate [et, eɪt], juggle ['dʒʌɡ(ə)l], courtyard ['kɔ:tjɑ:d]
While the crowd of funeral guests ate and drank, jesters juggled and priests read out prayers. Gurth and Wamba quickly joined the guests in the courtyard, and King Richard and Ivanhoe went inside the tower. The King told Ivanhoe to keep himself hidden from his father until he gave the signal. Ivanhoe covered his face and stayed behind the King as they entered the main hall of the castle.
Here Cedric sat at the head of the table (здесь Седрик сидел во главе стола) together with members of other important Saxon families (вместе с членами других влиятельных саксонских семей;
member ['membǝ], chapel ['ʧæp(ə)l], pray [preɪ]
Here Cedric sat at the head of the table together with members of other important Saxon families. When he saw the Black Knight enter, Cedric stood up, raised his cup and sadly greeted him. The Knight and Ivanhoe followed Cedric to a small chapel in the castle, where they prayed for the soul of Athelstane.
The Lady Rowena came in with some other guests (леди Ровена вошла /в часовню/ с несколькими другими гостями) and they sang a funeral song together (и они спели похоронную/траурную песню все вместе). Cedric whispered to the guests (Седрик прошептал гостям) that Rowena had been the intended wife of Athelstane (что Ровена была нареченной женой Ательстана;
whisper ['wɪspǝ], intended [ɪn'tendɪd], wife [waɪf]
The Lady Rowena came in with some other guests and they sang a funeral song together. Cedric whispered to the guests that Rowena had been the intended wife of Athelstane. The old Saxon was about to leave the chapel again, when the Black Knight took his hand.
"I would like to remind you (мне хотелось бы напомнить тебе;
"Of course, noble Knight (конечно, благородный рыцарь)," said Cedric. "Yet, at this sad moment (и все же, в этот печальный момент) —"
"I'm afraid I don't have much time (я боюсь, что у меня немного времени). You have known me as the Black Knight (ты знал меня под именем Черного рыцаря)," said the Knight, taking off his helmet (сказал рыцарь, снимая свой шлем), "now you may know me as Richard (теперь ты можешь знать меня =
remind [rɪ'maɪnd], part [pɑ:t], parted ['pɑ:tɪd], favour ['feɪvǝ]
"I would like to remind you," the Knight said, "that when we parted, you promised me a favour."
"Of course, noble Knight," said Cedric. "Yet, at this sad moment —"
"I'm afraid I don't have much time. You have known me as the Black Knight," said the Knight, taking off his helmet, "now you may know me as Richard!"
"King Richard (король Ричард)!" exclaimed Cedric, stepping back with surprise (воскликнул Седрик, отступая: «делая шаг» назад от удивления).
"Will you not kneel for your King (разве ты не преклонишь коленей перед твоим королем)?"
"I will never kneel for Norman blood (я никогда не преклоню коленей перед норманнской кровью)," said Cedric.
"Wait, then, until I have shown you (подожди, в таком случае, пока я не покажу =
surprise [sǝ'praɪz], kneel [ni:l], blood [blʌd], equally ['i:kwəlɪ]
"King Richard!" exclaimed Cedric, stepping back with surprise.
"Will you not kneel for your King?"
"I will never kneel for Norman blood," said Cedric.
"Wait, then, until I have shown you that I will protect Normans and Saxons equally well."
"Well spoken, Sir King (хорошо сказано, сэр король)," said the old Saxon. "For I will admit you are king (так как я признаю, что вы король;
"And now for the favour (а теперь, что касается одолжения)," said the King. "I ask you to forgive this good knight, Wilfred of Ivanhoe (я прошу тебя простить этого доброго рыцаря, Уилфрида Айвенго). I have an interest in the happiness of my friend (я заинтересован в счастье своего друга;
admit [ǝd'mɪt], though [ðǝʋ], happiness ['hæpɪnɪs], friendship ['frendʃɪp]
"Well spoken, Sir King," said the old Saxon. "For I will admit you are king, even though I don't like it."
"And now for the favour," said the King. "I ask you to forgive this good knight, Wilfred of Ivanhoe. I have an interest in the happiness of my friend, and in the friendship among my people."
"My father (отец мой)! — my father!" cried Ivanhoe, throwing himself at Cedric's feet (вскричал Айвенго, бросаясь к ногам Седрика). "Please forgive me (пожалуйста, простите меня)!"
"You are forgiven, my son (ты прощен, сын мой)," said Cedric, helping him up (сказал Седрик, помогая ему подняться;
mourn [mɔ:n], promise ['prɔmɪs], memory ['mem(ə)rɪ]
"My father! — my father!" cried Ivanhoe, throwing himself at Cedric's feet. "Please forgive me!"
"You are forgiven, my son," said Cedric, helping him up. "I always keep my promise, even if it is to a Norman. You are about to speak," he added, seriously, to his son, "and I know what you are about to say, but the Lady Rowena must mourn for Athelstane for two years. The ghost of Athelstane himself would rise before us if we do not honour his memory!"
At Cedric's words, the doors flew open (при этих словах Седрика двери распахнулись;
"In the name of God (во имя Бога)," said Cedric, "if you are human, speak (если ты смертный /человек/, говори;
open-mouthed ['ǝʋpən'maʋðd], ghost [ɡǝʋst], curse [kǝ:s], human ['hju:mən]
At Cedric's words, the doors flew open, and Athelstane came in, looking like someone who had indeed risen from the dead! Cedric stared open-mouthed at the ghost. Ivanhoe prayed, and the King cursed loudly.
"In the name of God," said Cedric, "if you are human, speak! Alive or dead, noble Athelstane, speak to Cedric!"
"I will (я буду /говорить/)," said the ghost, very calmly (сказал призрак, очень спокойно). "Alive, did you say (живой, ты сказал)? I am as alive as someone (я настолько же живой, как кто-то) who has lived on bread and water for three days can be (кто прожил на хлебе и воде целых три дня и может быть /живым/). Yes, bread and water, Cedric (да, на хлебе и воде, Седрик)! Thank God that I am here to tell you about it (благодарение Богу, что я здесь /и могу/ рассказать тебе об этом)."
alive [ǝ'laɪv], bread [bred], water ['wɔ:tǝ]
"I will," said the ghost, very calmly. "Alive, did you say? I am as alive as someone who has lived on bread and water for three days can be. Yes, bread and water, Cedric! Thank God that I am here to tell you about it."
"Why, noble Athelstane (как же, благородный Ательстан)," said the King, "I myself saw you struck down by the Templar (я сам видел, как ты был сражен ударом рыцаря храма;
struck [strʌk], skull [skʌl], teeth [ti:θ]
"Why, noble Athelstane," said the King, "I myself saw you struck down by the Templar towards the end of the battle at Torquilstone. Wamba said that your skull was split right down to the teeth!"
"Well, Wamba was lying, Sir Knight (что ж, Вамба лгал, сэр рыцарь;
tonight [tǝ'naɪt], flat [flæt], sense [sens], coffin ['kɔfɪn]
"Well, Wamba was lying, Sir Knight," said Athelstane. "My teeth are fine, and I intend to use them on my supper tonight. The Templar's sword had turned in his hand, and so he struck me with the flat side of his sword. As it was, down I went. I didn't recover my senses until I found myself lying in a coffin — an open one, by good luck!
"I sneezed several times (я чихнул несколько раз;
sneeze [sni:z], local ['lǝʋk(ə)l], church [ʧǝ:ʧ], priest [pri:st], inherit [ɪn'herɪt]
"I sneezed several times and saw that I was in the local church, not far from here. The priest came running when he heard me. He was not at all happy to discover that someone, from whom his church would inherit a lot of money, was not dead after all!
"I asked for some wine (я попросил немного вина), and he gave me a cup (и он дал мне чашу), but there must have been something else in it (но, должно быть, в ней было что-то еще), because I slept for hours afterwards (потому что я проспал несколько часов после этого). When I finally woke up again (когда я наконец-то проснулся снова; to

"I asked for some wine, and he gave me a cup, but there must have been something else in it, because I slept for hours afterwards. When I finally woke up again, my hands and feet were tied, and I was in some kind of dungeon under the church. The priest came and gave me only bread and water for three days!"
"But noble Athelstane (но благородный Ательстан)," said Cedric, grabbing the hand of his friend (сказал Седрик, хватая руку своего друга), "how did you escape (как же вы убежали)?"
"I would be there still (я бы был там до сих пор)," said Athelstane, "if the chains that I was tied with (если бы цепи, которыми я был связан) were not so rusty that I could break them (не оказались настолько ржавыми, что я смог порвать их). I dragged myself upstairs as best I could (я потащился наверх изо всех сил: «наилучшим образом, как только мог») and knocked the priest over the head (и ударил священника по голове;
grab [ɡræb], chain [ʧeɪn], rusty ['rʌstɪ], quick [kwɪk]
"But noble Athelstane," said Cedric, grabbing the hand of his friend, "how did you escape?"
"I would be there still," said Athelstane, "if the chains that I was tied with were not so rusty that I could break them. I dragged myself upstairs as best I could and knocked the priest over the head. Then I grabbed some meat and wine and took the priest's best horse. I rode here as fast as I could. I only had a quick bite to eat before I came to find you, my noble friend!"
"And you have found me (и вы нашли меня)," said Cedric. "There has never been such a lucky day (никогда не было такого счастливого дня) for the Saxon people as today (для саксонского народа, как сегодня)!"
"I'm more interested in punishing that priest (я более заинтересован в наказании того священника)! He shall hang from the top of this castle (он должен висеть на /самой высокой башне/ этого замка;
lucky ['lʌkɪ], punishing ['pʌnɪʃɪŋ], castle ['kɑ:s(ə)l]
"And you have found me," said Cedric. "There has never been such a lucky day for the Saxon people as today!"
"I'm more interested in punishing that priest! He shall hang from the top of this castle. Why, Front-de-Boeuf was burned alive for a much smaller matter!
"He at least fed his prisoners well (он, по меньшей мере, кормил своих пленников хорошо;
garlic ['ɡɑ:lɪk], ungrateful[ʌn'ɡreɪtf(ə)l], table ['teɪb(ə)l]
"He at least fed his prisoners well, only putting a little too much garlic in the food. But this ungrateful priest, who has often eaten with me at my table here in Coningsburgh, he only gave me bread and water — and he will die for it!"
"Noble Athelstane," said Cedric, "forget such matters (забудьте об этом: «такие дела») and think of the future that lies ahead of you (и подумайте о том будущем, что открывается вам: «лежит перед вами»;
ahead [ǝ'hed], lion-hearted ['laɪən'hɑ:tɪd], claim [kleɪm], throne [θrǝʋŋ]
"Noble Athelstane," said Cedric, "forget such matters and think of the future that lies ahead of you! Tell this Norman King that even though he may be lion-hearted, he cannot claim the throne of England as long as a true Saxon king is here to fight for it!"
"How (как)!" exclaimed Athelstane. "Is this the noble King Richard (это благородный король Ричард)?"
"Yes, it is Richard himself (да, это Ричард собственной персоной)," replied Cedric. "But let me remind you (но позвольте мне напомнить вам) that since he came here as a guest of his own free will (что раз он приехал сюда как гость, и по доброй воле;
since [sɪns], free will ['fri:'wɪl], duty ['dju:tɪ], host [hǝʋst]
"How!" exclaimed Athelstane. "Is this the noble King Richard?"
"Yes, it is Richard himself," replied Cedric. "But let me remind you that since he came here as a guest of his own free will, he may not be harmed or taken prisoner. Think of your duty as a host."
"Yes," said Athelstane, "and my duty as an Englishman (и о моем долге англичанина)! I promise to be loyal to you, Richard (я обещаю быть верным тебе, Ричард;
"Think of the freedom of England (подумайте о свободе Англии;
"Bread and water in a dungeon (хлеб и вода в темнице) do wonderful things to a man's ambition (делают удивительные вещи с честолюбивыми замыслами человека)! I rise out of the grave a wiser man (я восстал из могилы куда более мудрым человеком;

"Yes," said Athelstane, "and my duty as an Englishman! I promise to be loyal to you, Richard!"
"Think of the freedom of England!" exclaimed Cedric.
"Bread and water in a dungeon do wonderful things to a man's ambition! I rise out of the grave a wiser man than I was when I went into it. I have no interest in being king anywhere else than here, on my own land. And my first act as king will be to hang that priest."
"And my ward, Rowena (а моя воспитанница, Ровена)," said Cedric, "you don't intend to leave her as well (вы же не собираетесь оставить и ее также)?"
"Cedric," said Athelstane, "be reasonable (будьте благоразумны;
ward [wɔ:d], reasonable ['ri:z(ə)nəb(ə)l], little finger ['lɪtl'fɪŋɡǝ]
"And my ward, Rowena," said Cedric, "you don't intend to leave her as well?"
"Cedric," said Athelstane, "be reasonable. The Lady Rowena does not care for me. She loves the little finger of Wilfred more than my whole person.
"There, she can tell you herself (вот же, она может сказать вам сама). No, don't blush, Rowena (нет, не краснейте, Ровена). Give me your hand instead (дайте мне вашу руку /вместо этого/). Here, Wilfred of Ivanhoe, to you, I will give (здесь, Уилфрид Айвенго, тебя я отдам) — Hey! Wilfred has disappeared (эй, Уилфрид исчез)!

"There, she can tell you herself. No, don't blush, Rowena. Give me your hand instead. Here, Wilfred of Ivanhoe, to you, I will give — Hey! Wilfred has disappeared! Unless I am just weak from hunger, I am sure he was just here."
Everyone looked for Ivanhoe (все разыскивали Айвенго;
"Beautiful Rowena (прекрасная Ровена)," said Athelstane, "I'm sure Ivanhoe had a very good reason (я уверен, что у Айвенго есть очень веская причина;
briefly ['bri:flɪ], hurry ['hʌrɪ], reason ['ri:z(ə)n]
Everyone looked for Ivanhoe, but he was gone. They discovered that an old Jew had come to Coningsburgh asking for Ivanhoe. After speaking briefly to the old man, Ivanhoe had left the castle in a great hurry together with Gurth.
"Beautiful Rowena," said Athelstane, "I'm sure Ivanhoe had a very good reason to disappear like that —"
But Rowena, who had found the whole situation very embarrassing (но Ровена, которая сочла всю эту ситуацию очень неловкой;
whole [hǝʋl], embarrassing [ɪm'bærəsɪŋ], trusted ['trʌstɪd]
But Rowena, who had found the whole situation very embarrassing, had left the room as well. "Well, certainly women cannot be trusted!" exclaimed Athelstane. "To you I turn instead, noble King Richard, as a loyal —"
But King Richard was gone, too (но король Ричард тоже исчез), and no one had seen where he went (и никто не видел, куда он ушел). From Wamba, they later discovered (от Вамбы они позже узнали;
gone [ɡɔn], discover [dɪs'kʌvǝ], Jew [dʒu:], ridden ['rɪdn]
But King Richard was gone, too, and no one had seen where he went. From Wamba, they later discovered that he had gone to find the old Jew who had come to see Ivanhoe. The King and the Jew had then mounted their horses and ridden off in the same direction as Ivanhoe and Gurth.
"I return from the dead (я вернулся из мертвых)," said Athelstane, "and everyone I speak to disappears (и все, с кем я говорю, исчезают;
everyone ['evrɪwʌn], hear [hɪǝ], friend [frend]
"I return from the dead," said Athelstane, "and everyone I speak to disappears as soon as they hear my voice. Come my friends, those of you who are left, and we will go to the great hall and eat before anyone else disappears!"
On the morning of the trial by combat (в утро судебного поединка), a great crowd of people had already gathered outside Templestowe (огромная толпа людей уже собралась под стенами: «снаружи» Темплстоу). Every seat in every gallery was taken by people (каждое место в каждой галерее было занято людьми;

On the morning of the trial by combat, a great crowd of people had already gathered outside Templestowe. Every seat in every gallery was taken by people who had travelled for miles to see the exciting event.
When the heavy bell of Templestowe began ringing (когда тяжелый колокол Темплстоу начал звонить;
silent ['saɪlənt], stare [stɛə], victim ['vɪktɪm]
When the heavy bell of Templestowe began ringing, the crowd fell silent and stared at the gate of the castle, hoping to see the Grand Master, the witch and the man who was her victim.
The drawbridge of Templestowe was lowered (навесной мост Темплстоу был опущен = опустился;
drawbridge ['drɔ:brɪdʒ], trumpeter ['trʌmpɪtǝ], behind [bɪ'haɪnd], several ['sev(ə)rəl]
The drawbridge of Templestowe was lowered, the castle gate was opened, and six trumpeters announced the arrival of the Grand Master. Behind him rode Bois-Guilbert in full armour. His proud face looked very pale, as if he had not slept for several nights. After him came his Arab servants carrying his sword, shield and lance.
Albert de Malvoisin rode at his side (Альберт де Мальвуазен скакал рядом с ним;
guard [ɡɑ:d], possible ['pɔsəb(ə)l], figure ['fɪɡǝ], accused [ǝ'kju:zd]
Albert de Malvoisin rode at his side, and behind them followed the other Templars of Templestowe and their servants. At the end came a group of guards on foot. Among them, it was just possible to see the pale figure of the accused woman moving with slow steps towards her fate.
All the knights entered the lists between the galleries (все рыцари вошли =
complete [kəm'pli:t], circle ['sǝ:k(ə)l], chair [ʧɛə], prayer [prɛə]
All the knights entered the lists between the galleries, and rode once around from right to left. When they had made a complete circle, they stopped, and all the Templars except Bois-Guilbert and Malvoisin got off their horses and took their places in front of the galleries. Rebecca was taken to a chair beside a stake on top of a pile of wood. She looked at it and closed her eyes in prayer.
"Lords and Grand Master (лорды и великий магистр)," shouted Malvoisin, "here stands the good Templar, Brian de Bois-Guilbert (вот стоит добрый рыцарь храма Бриан де Буа-Гильбер), who must fight to show that this Jewess, Rebecca by name (который должен сражаться, чтобы доказать, что эта еврейка по имени Ревекка), has deserved to die as a witch (заслужила умереть как ведьма)."
He went over to the Grand Master (он подошел к великому магистру) and laid Rebecca's glove at his feet (и положил перчатку Ревекки у его ног).

"Lords and Grand Master," shouted Malvoisin, "here stands the good Templar, Brian de Bois-Guilbert, who must fight to show that this Jewess, Rebecca by name, has deserved to die as a witch."
He went over to the Grand Master and laid Rebecca's glove at his feet.
The trumpets played (затрубили трубы;

The trumpets played and a herald came forward into the lists.
"Here stands the good knight, Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert," shouted the herald, "ready to fight against any knight who will be the champion of the Jewess." The trumpets played again and then there was silence for many minutes as the crowd looked around for the champion.
"No champion appears for the accused woman (ни один защитник не явился, /чтобы драться/ за эту обвиненную женщину;
The herald walked over to Rebecca's chair (герольд подошел к стулу Ревекки). "Girl (девушка)," he said, "the honourable Grand Master asks (достопочтенный великий магистр спрашивает;

"No champion appears for the accused woman," said the Grand Master. "Go, herald, and ask her whether she expects anyone to fight for her."
The herald walked over to Rebecca's chair.
"Girl," he said, "the honourable Grand Master asks if you have found a champion to fight for you, or if you confess your guilt instead?"
"Tell the Grand Master (скажите великому магистру)," replied Rebecca, "that I am innocent (что я невиновна), and that I expect a champion to come and fight for me (и я ожидаю, что защитник придет и будет драться за меня), if God so wishes (если Бог так пожелает)."
The herald went back (герольд вернулся;
"Tell her that we shall wait for a champion until evening (скажите ей, что мы будем ждать защитника до вечера)," said the Grand Master. "If this day passes without the arrival of a champion (если этот день пройдет без прибытия защитника = если день пройдет, а защитник не прибудет;

"Tell the Grand Master," replied Rebecca, "that I am innocent, and that I expect a champion to come and fight for me, if God so wishes."
The herald went back and repeated her answer to the Grand Master.
"Tell her that we shall wait for a champion until evening," said the Grand Master. "If this day passes without the arrival of a champion, then prepare her for her death."
The herald went back to Rebecca (герольд пошел назад =
"Rebecca," whispered Brian de Bois-Guilbert when the herald had left again (прошептал Бриан де Буа-Гильбер, когда герольд снова ушел), "can you hear me (ты слышишь меня)?"

The herald went back to Rebecca and gave her the Grand Master's message.
"Rebecca," whispered Brian de Bois-Guilbert when the herald had left again, "can you hear me?"
"I will have nothing to do with you, you cruel, cold-hearted man," said the unhappy girl.
"Yes, but do you understand my words (да, но понимаешь ли ты мои слова), for my voice is frightening in my own ears (так как мой голос /звучит/ пугающе в моих собственных ушах;

"Yes, but do you understand my words, for my voice is frightening in my own ears. I hardly know why they have brought us here. When I look at the lists — this chair — that stake — I know what they are for, but it all seems so unreal to me."
"I know what it is all for. That stake is to send me, painfully, but quickly, into a better world."
"Dreams, Rebecca — dreams (видения, Ревекка, наваждение;
"Go away (убирайтесь)!" said Rebecca. "You will not change my mind (вам не /заставить меня/ изменить своего решения). I am surrounded by enemies (я окружена врагами), but you are my most deadly enemy (но вы — мой самый заклятый враг;

"Dreams, Rebecca — dreams," answered the Templar. "Hear me, Rebecca, you have a better chance for your life and freedom than those fools over there know. Mount my horse behind me, and we will ride away from here! I don't care what anyone says!"
"Go away!" said Rebecca. "You will not change my mind. I am surrounded by enemies, but you are my most deadly enemy!"
Albert de Malvoisin, having discovered their conversation (Альберт де Мальвуазен, увидев, что они разговаривают: «обнаружив их разговор»), quickly rode over to interfere (быстро подъехал /к ним верхом/, чтобы вмешаться;
"Has the Jewess confessed her guilt (признала ли еврейка свою вину)?" he asked Bois-Guilbert. "Or does she insist that she is innocent (или она настаивает на том, что она невиновна)?"
"She does indeed insist (она действительно настаивает;

Albert de Malvoisin, having discovered their conversation, quickly rode over to interfere.
"Has the Jewess confessed her guilt?" he asked Bois-Guilbert. "Or does she insist that she is innocent?"
"She does indeed insist," said Bois-Guilbert sourly.
"Then come with me, brave Bois-Guilbert (тогда идем со мной, храбрый Буа-Гильбер)," said Malvoisin, leading Brian de Bois-Guilbert's horse away with him (уводя лошадь Бриана де Буа-Гильбера за собой).

Everyone waited for another two hours (все ожидали еще /следующие/ два часа). Just when the crowd was convinced (как раз когда толпа была убеждена;
"A champion (защитник/заступник)! — A champion!" a hundred voices exclaimed (сотня голосов воскликнула) as a knight rode into the lists (когда рыцарь въехал на ристалище).

Everyone waited for another two hours. Just when the crowd was convinced that no one would come to defend a Jewess, two riders appeared in the distance.
"A champion! — A champion!" a hundred voices exclaimed as a knight rode into the lists.
But then they saw (но затем они увидели) how tired his horse looked (насколько усталой выглядела его лошадь), and how the knight hardly could keep himself in the saddle (и как сам рыцарь едва мог держаться в седле). The herald asked the knight to give his name (герольд попросил рыцаря сообщить свое имя).
"I am a good knight and noble (я достойный рыцарь и благородный), and I have come to defend this lady (и я приехал, чтобы защитить эту леди), the daughter of Isaac of York (дочь Исаака из Йорка), with my lance and my sword (своим копьем и мечом)."

But then they saw how tired his horse looked, and how the knight hardly could keep himself in the saddle. The herald asked the knight to give his name.
"I am a good knight and noble, and I have come to defend this lady, the daughter of Isaac of York, with my lance and my sword."
"The stranger must first show (незнакомец должен сначала доказать;
"My name (меня зовут)," said the knight, taking off his helmet (сказал рыцарь, снимая свой шлем)," is Wilfred of Ivanhoe."
"I won't fight against you (я не буду сражаться с тобой)," said the Templar in a quiet voice (сказал рыцарь храма спокойным голосом;
nameless ['neɪmlɪs], helmet ['helmɪt], quiet ['kwaɪət], wound [wu:nd]
"The stranger must first show that he really is a knight," said Albert de Malvoisin. "The Templars do not fight against nameless men."
"My name," said the knight, taking off his helmet, "is Wilfred of Ivanhoe."
"I won't fight against you," said the Templar in a quiet voice. "Get your wounds taken care of first, and get yourself a better horse."
"Ha! Proud Templar (ха, гордый храмовник)," said Ivanhoe, "have you forgotten that you have already fallen (разве ты забыл, что ты уже падал) before this lance twice (от этого копья дважды)? Remember your challenge in the hall of Rotherwood (помни о своем вызове в зале замка Ротервуд)! If you do not fight now (если ты не будешь сражаться сейчас), I will call you a coward in all of Europe (я назову тебя трусом по всей Европе)!"

"Ha! Proud Templar," said Ivanhoe, "have you forgotten that you have already fallen before this lance twice? Remember your challenge in the hall of Rotherwood! If you do not fight now, I will call you a coward in all of Europe!"
Bois-Guilbert looked first at Rebecca and then at Ivanhoe (Буа-Гильбер взглянул сначала на Ревекку, а затем на Айвенго).
"Dog of a Saxon (саксонский пес)! Take your lance (возьми свое копье) and prepare yourself for the death (и приготовься к смерти) you have brought upon yourself (которую ты навлек на себя;
"Do you accept me as a champion (признаешь ли ты меня как защитника = своим заступником;

Bois-Guilbert looked first at Rebecca and then at Ivanhoe.
"Dog of a Saxon! Take your lance and prepare yourself for the death you have brought upon yourself!"
"Do you accept me as a champion?" Ivanhoe asked Rebecca.
"I do (да: «я /принимаю/»)," she exclaimed. "I do, I do accept you as the champion (да, я действительно принимаю тебя как защитника) sent to me by Heaven (посланного мне небесами)! Yet, no-no — your wounds have not healed (и все же, нет, нет — твои раны еще не залечены). Don't fight against this proud man (не сражайся с этим гордецом)! Why should you die as well (почему и ты должен умереть)?"

"I do," she exclaimed. "I do, I do accept you as the champion sent to me by Heaven! Yet, no-no — your wounds have not healed. Don't fight against this proud man! Why should you die as well?"
But Ivanhoe had already ridden to one end of the lists (но Айвенго уже ускакал к одному концу ристалища), where he put his helmet on (где он надел свой шлем) and raised his lance (и поднял свое копье). Bois-Guilbert slowly did the same at the other end (Буа-Гильбер медленно сделал то же самое у другого конца /ристалища/), but his servants noticed that his face (но его слуги заметили, что его лицо), which had been very pale that morning (которое было очень бледным в то утро), was suddenly very red (внезапно стало очень красным). Seeing that each knight was in his place (видя, что каждый рыцарь был на своем месте), the herald announced that the fight could begin (герольд объявил, что поединок может начинаться).

But Ivanhoe had already ridden to one end of the lists, where he put his helmet on and raised his lance. Bois-Guilbert slowly did the same at the other end, but his servants noticed that his face, which had been very pale that morning, was suddenly very red. Seeing that each knight was in his place, the herald announced that the fight could begin.
The trumpet was heard (послышался /звук/ трубы), and the knights galloped towards each other (и рыцари понеслись галопом навстречу друг другу). The tired horse of Ivanhoe went down (усталая лошадь Айвенго пала;
gallop ['ɡæləp], barely ['beəlɪ], touch [tʌʧ], touched [tʌʧt]
The trumpet was heard, and the knights galloped towards each other. The tired horse of Ivanhoe went down, as everyone had expected, before the lance of the Templar. But to the surprise of the crowd, the Templar, who had barely been touched by Ivanhoe's lance, also fell to the ground.
Ivanhoe, getting up from his wounded horse (Айвенго, вставая со своего раненного коня;

Ivanhoe, getting up from his wounded horse, placed his sword on the Templar's throat. He ordered him to surrender or die. Bois-Guilbert did not answer.
"Don't kill him, Sir Knight," cried the Grand Master. "He has been defeated."
He came down into the lists (он спустился на арену) and ordered Bois-Guilbert's helmet to be removed (и приказал, чтобы шлем Буа-Гильбера сняли;

He came down into the lists and ordered Bois-Guilbert's helmet to be removed. The Templar's eyes were closed, and his face was still dark red. As they looked at him, his eyes opened and his face turned the pale colour of death. Unharmed by the lance of his enemy, he had died, a victim of his own passions.
"This is indeed the judgement of God (вот уж поистине суд Божий;
As the Grand Master spoke (пока великий магистр говорил), they heard a low, rumbling sound (они =

"This is indeed the judgement of God," said the Grand Master, turning his eyes up to Heaven. "I declare this young woman to be innocent!"
As the Grand Master spoke, they heard a low, rumbling sound and the ground shook under them as a large army of men rode into the lists.
"I am too late (я /приехал/ слишком поздно = я опоздал;
He saw Ivanhoe (он увидел Айвенго).
"Wilfred, was this a good idea (Уилфрид, была ли это хорошая мысль), to come here (приехать сюда) when you could hardly keep yourself in the saddle (когда ты едва можешь держаться в седле;

"I am too late," said the Black Knight, looking around. "Bois-Guilbert was going to be mine to take care of!"
He saw Ivanhoe.
"Wilfred, was this a good idea, to come here when you could hardly keep yourself in the saddle? But we have no time to waste."
A knight rode forward from behind the Black Knight (один рыцарь выехал из-за спины Черного рыцаря;

A knight rode forward from behind the Black Knight. Laying a hand on the shoulder of Albert de Malvoisin, the knight said, "I arrest you as a traitor. Your Templars have fought against the King in Palestine and in England."
The Grand Master stood up in surprise. "Who dares to arrest a Templar in the presence of the Grand Master?"
"This knight arrests Malvoisin (этот рыцарь берет Мальвуазена под стражу)," replied the Black Knight, taking off his helmet (ответил Черный рыцарь, снимая свой шлем), "by the order of Richard (по приказу Ричарда).

"This knight arrests Malvoisin," replied the Black Knight, taking off his helmet, "by the order of Richard. Proud Templar, look up and you will see the English flag already flying over Templestowe instead of your Templar flag. Be wise, Beaumanoir, and don't try to fight against me! Leave England! Your hand is already in the lion's mouth."
"We will be back, Richard (мы вернемся, Ричард;
Rebecca had neither seen nor heard the retreat of the Templars (Ревекка не видела и не слышала отступления храмовников;
neither … nor ['neɪðə … 'nɔ:], retreat [rɪ'tri:t], embrace [ɪm'breɪs]
"We will be back, Richard," answered the Grand Master proudly. He ordered the Templars to gather around him, and together they rode away from the lists into the forest.
Rebecca had neither seen nor heard the retreat of the Templars, for she was locked in the embrace of her old father.
"Let us go (давай пойдем)," he said, "my dear daughter (моя дорогая дочь) — let us go and throw ourselves at the feet of that good young man (пойдем и бросимся в ноги тому доброму молодому человеку) who has just saved your life (который только что спас твою жизнь)."
"O no-no — no," said Rebecca, "I do not dare to speak to him now (я не осмелюсь заговорить с ним сейчас). Otherwise, I might say more than (а то я могу сказать больше, чем) — No, my father (нет, отец мой), let us leave this terrible place this very moment (давай оставим это ужасное место прямо сейчас: «в этот самый момент»)."

"But, my daughter (но, дочь моя)," exclaimed Isaac, "they will think we are as ungrateful as dogs (они подумают, что мы /такие же/ неблагодарные, как собаки;

"True, my wise Rebecca (верно, моя мудрая Ревекка). Let us go (давай уйдем) — let us go!

Together, they quickly left the lists of Templestowe.
The crowd shouted (толпа кричала), "Long live Richard with the Lion's Heart (да здравствует Ричард Львиное Сердце), and down with the Templars (и будет покончено с храмовниками = долой храмовников;
"What is the news from York (каковы новости из Йорка)?" Ivanhoe asked the knight who had arrested Malvoisin (спросил Айвенго у рыцаря, который арестовал Мальвуазена).
"Our enemies are already leaving the country (наши враги уже покидают страну;

The crowd shouted, "Long live Richard with the Lion's Heart, and down with the Templars!"
"What is the news from York?" Ivanhoe asked the knight who had arrested Malvoisin.
"Our enemies are already leaving the country," said the knight, "and we have that news from John himself!"
"That traitor (этот предатель)! That ungrateful traitor (этот неблагодарный предатель)!" exclaimed Ivanhoe. "Didn't Richard put him in prison (разве Ричард не посадил его в тюрьму;
"Oh! When they met (о, когда они встретились), it was as if they had met after a hunt (это произошло так, словно они встретились после охоты). The King just pointed at me and our army and said (король просто указал на меня и наш отряд и сказал;

"That traitor! That ungrateful traitor!" exclaimed Ivanhoe. "Didn't Richard put him in prison?"
"Oh! When they met, it was as if they had met after a hunt. The King just pointed at me and our army and said, 'You see, brother, I have some angry men with me. So you had better go back to our mother and stay there for a while'."
"That was all he said (это все, что он сказал)?" asked Ivanhoe, surprised (спросил Айвенго, удивленный).
"Yes. Let us return to York (давай вернемся в Йорк)," answered the knight, "for Richard will be punishing the traitors he has found (потому как Ричард будет наказывать предателей, которых он нашел;

"That was all he said?" asked Ivanhoe, surprised.
"Yes. Let us return to York," answered the knight, "for Richard will be punishing the traitors he has found, even though he has forgiven their leader!"
While Maurice de Bracy and Fitzurse escaped to France (в то время как Морис де Браси и Фицурс сбежали во Францию), Albert de Malvoisin and many other Norman noblemen were executed (Альберт де Мальвуазен и много других норманнских дворян были казнены;
nobleman ['nǝʋb(ə)lmən], execute ['eksɪkju:t], support [sǝ'pɔ:t]
While Maurice de Bracy and Fitzurse escaped to France, Albert de Malvoisin and many other Norman noblemen were executed on the orders of the King. The King also ordered Cedric to come to York to help him get Saxon support there.
Cedric did not refuse because he saw (Седрик не возражал: «не отказался», потому что он видел;

Cedric did not refuse because he saw that Richard was a popular king, and he had no more hope for a Saxon kingdom. After a few days in York with Richard, Cedric finally agreed to the marriage of his ward to Ivanhoe. He was secretly very proud of his son's adventures, and despite his feelings about the Normans, he soon became good friends with the King.
The wedding of Ivanhoe and Rowena was held in York a few days later (свадьба Айвенго и Ровены состоялась в Йорке несколько дней спустя;
wedding ['wedɪŋ], attend [ǝ'tend], including [ɪn'klu:dɪŋ]
The wedding of Ivanhoe and Rowena was held in York a few days later, and it was attended by a large number of Saxons and Normans, including the King himself. Gurth appeared in the church in fine new clothes at the side of Ivanhoe, and Wamba arrived wearing a new hat with real silver bells on it. Everyone was happy that peace had finally returned to England.
On the second morning after this happy day (на второе утро =

On the second morning after this happy day, the Lady Rowena was told that a young woman had come to see her. Rowena was wondering who this could be, when a woman wearing a large veil entered. To Rowena's surprise, the stranger threw herself at her feet and kissed her dress.
"What does this mean (что это значит)?" asked Rowena. "Why are you doing this (почему вы это делаете)?"
"Because to you, Lady of Ivanhoe (потому что вам, леди Айвенго)," replied Rebecca, getting up again (ответила Ревекка, снова поднимаясь), "I can show how grateful I am to Wilfred of Ivanhoe (я могу показать, насколько я благодарна Уилфриду Айвенго). I am the unhappy Jewess (я та самая несчастная еврейка) for whom your husband risked his life (из-за которой ваш муж рисковал своей жизнью) against terrible odds in the lists at Templestowe (/сражаясь/ с ужасными, значительно превосходящими /его/ силами, на ристалище в Темплстоу;

"Because to you, Lady of Ivanhoe," replied Rebecca, getting up again, "I can show how grateful I am to Wilfred of Ivanhoe. I am the unhappy Jewess for whom your husband risked his life against terrible odds in the lists at Templestowe."
"Rebecca," said Rowena, "on that day, Wilfred only paid you back (в тот день Уилфрид только заплатил вам;
"Nothing (ничего)," said Rebecca, calmly (ответила Ревекка спокойно), "unless you will say goodbye to him for me (если только вы попрощаетесь с ним за меня;

"Rebecca," said Rowena, "on that day, Wilfred only paid you back one small part of what he owed you for healing his wounds! Speak, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Nothing," said Rebecca, calmly, "unless you will say goodbye to him for me."
"Are you leaving England (вы покидаете Англию)?" asked Rowena.
"My father has a brother in Spain (у моего отца брат в Испании). We will go there for peace and protection (мы уедем туда ради мира и защиты)."
"Are you not well protected in England (разве вы не хорошо защищены в Англии)?" said Rowena. "My husband is a close friend of the King (мой муж близкий друг короля), and the King is a fair and honourable man (а король — справедливый и честный/благородный человек)."

"My father has a brother in Spain. We will go there for peace and protection."
"Are you not well protected in England?" said Rowena. "My husband is a close friend of the King, and the King is a fair and honourable man."
"I do not doubt it (я в этом не сомневаюсь)," said Rebecca, "but the people of England are a war-like race (но люди в Англии очень воинственные: «очень воинственный народ»;
warlike ['wɔ:laɪk], neighbour ['neɪbǝ], farewell [fɛə'wel]
"I do not doubt it," said Rebecca, "but the people of England are a war-like race, always fighting with their neighbours and with each other. This is not a safe place for my people. So farewell. Before I go, I have one last wish, though. You are wearing your wedding veil. I would like to see the face that I have heard so much about."
"I will remove my veil (я сниму свою вуаль) only if you will do the same (если вы сделаете то же самое;
They both took off their veils (они обе сняли свои вуали), and Rowena blushed deeply (и Ровена сильно покраснела;

"I will remove my veil only if you will do the same," said Rowena.
They both took off their veils, and Rowena blushed deeply when she saw Rebecca's face. Rebecca also blushed, but only briefly.
"I will always remember the face which you have just shown me," she said. "It is gentle and good. I will now leave you with my rescuer —"
Rebecca stopped as her eyes filled with tears (Ревекка замолчала, так как ее глаза наполнились слезами;
Rowena opened the box (Ровена открыла шкатулку) and saw that it was filled with beautiful jewellery (и увидела, что она была наполнена прекрасными драгоценными украшениями;
"It is impossible (это невозможно)," she exclaimed. "I cannot accept such a valuable gift (я не могу принять такой ценный подарок;

Rebecca stopped as her eyes filled with tears.
"No, I am well, — I am well. Please accept this gift from me."
She gave Rowena a small box. Rowena opened the box and saw that it was filled with beautiful jewellery.
"It is impossible," she exclaimed. "I cannot accept such a valuable gift!"
"You keep it, my lady (оставьте их, миледи;
"Why, you are unhappy (как, вы несчастны)!" said Rowena. "Stay with us (оставайтесь с нами)!"
"No, my lady," said Rebecca calmly (сказала Ревекка спокойно). "Farewell (прощайте). May He who made both Jews and Christians bless you (пусть Он, который создал и иудеев/евреев, и христиан, благословит вас;

"Why, you are unhappy!" said Rowena. "Stay with us!"
"No, my lady," said Rebecca calmly. "Farewell. May He who made both Jews and Christians bless you."
She quickly left the room.
When the beautiful Saxon later told her husband about the meeting (когда прекрасная саксонка позже рассказала своему мужу об этой встрече;

When the beautiful Saxon later told her husband about the meeting, it made a deep impression on him.
Ivanhoe went on to live a long and happy life together with Rowena, for they had always loved each other. Yet the memory of Rebecca's beauty and kindness came to his mind more often than his wife would have liked.
