В данный момент Питер и папа находятся в обувном отделе.
a at the moment - в настоящее время, в данный момент
б the shoe department - отдел обуви
There was a crowd of men waiting to buy shoes. Толпа мужчин стояла в очереди за
обувью.
a a crowd of men - толпа мужчин Вам уже встречалось (урок 7) слово men -
множественное число от man - мужчина.
Внимательно послушайте разницу в произношении:
a huge men's shop,
a crowd of men - но ниже в этом же уроке:
behind that fat man. Разница в написании отражает разницу в произношении.
б Как вы знаете man имеет значение человек, мужчина (см. урок 4). В значении
человек множественным числом для этого слова будет people, в значении
мужчина - men.
man - men мужчина - мужчины
man - people человек - люди
в waiting to buy - букв. ожидающих, чтобы купить
waiting for us - ожидающих нас
г shoes - туфли, ботинки Значение этого слова широко и может означать разные виды обуви, поэтому в данном контексте лучше переводить его словом обувь.
6 Peter thinks I ought to buy a new watch because some of the watches are half-price. Питер считает, что мне следует купить новые часы, потому что некоторые часы продаются за полцены.
a watch - часы В русском языке слово часы всегда имеет одну форму
множественного числа. В английском же языке слово watch имеет две формы - единственное и множественное числа:
a watch - часы
some watches - несколько (штук) часов
При этом следует иметь в виду, что слово watch означает только наручные часы.
7 I tried to choose a cheaper one but they're all ugly except this one.
Я пытался выбрать часы подешевле, но они все некрасивые, за исключением этих.
Часть вторая
None of the ones I liked was the right size. Ни один из тех, что мне понравились, не
подошел по размеру.
My feet are very wide and most of the shoes were for narrow feet.
У меня ноги очень широкие в стопе, а большинство туфель было на узкую ногу.
feet - множественное число слова foot - нога, стопа (см. прим. 16, урок 23).
That's a shame. Как жаль! (см. прим. 26, урок 24.)
I left him paying the shop assistant. Когда я уходил, он расплачивался с продавцом,
(букв. Я оставил его расплачиваться с продавцом.)
We mustn't keep him waiting. He нужно его задерживать. (букв. Мы не должны
заставлять его ждать.)
I'm afraid not. К сожалению, нет.
I'm afraid - буквально означает боюсь. Одна из формул вежливости при ответе на вопросы, на русский язык может переводиться как к сожалению; боюсь, что.
Can you tell me where the suit department is, please? Будьте добры, как пройти
в секцию мужских костюмов ? Общепринятая вежливая форма вопроса о том, как
найти дорогу куда-то.
Can you tell me where the post office is, please? Скажите, пожалуйста, где почта ?
Any assistant will be able to tell you. Любой продавец сможет ответить на ваш
вопрос.
assistant - буквально означает помощник, ассистент. В данном контексте переводится как продавец, поскольку речь идет о магазине. Обычно значение продавец передается словосочетанием shop assistant. В этом предложении слово shop опущено.

I ought to have stayed with you. Мне следовало остаться с вами.
I ought to stay with you Мне следует остаться с вами. Модальный глагол
ought (to) не имеет формы прошедшего времени. Поэтому отнесенность к
прошлому выражается перфектной формой инфинитива - to have stayed.
I ought to go. - Мне нужно (следует) идти.
I ought to have gone. - Мне нужно было (следовало) уйти.
You ought to buy a watch. - Тебе следует купить часы.
You ought to have bought a watch. - Тебе следовало купить часы.

Общепринятая форма положительного ответа на вопросы,
начинающиеся с Do you think ...? Отрицательным ответом должно быть:

What colour do you like? Какой цвет вы хотите ? (букв. Какой цвет вам
нравится ?)
Any colour except blue. Любой, кроме синего. (См. прим. 29, урок 9.)

Five feet eleven inches. Пять футов одиннадцать дюймов. Единицы длины
старой метрической системы англичан: фут равен примерно тридцати
сантиметрам, дюйм - около двух с половиной сантиметров. С 1971 года
англичане официально перешли на международную десятичную
метрическую систему.
I suggest you try this one. Я предлагаю примерить вам этот.
I'm sure it's worth much more. Я уверен, он стоит гораздо дороже.
to be worth - стоить
This suit is worth twenty-five pounds.
Этот костюм стоит двадцать пять фунтов.
I’ll try it on and if it fits, I'll buy it. Я его примерю и, если он мне подойдет,
я его куплю.
а to try - пытаться, стараться:
I tried to choose a cheaper watch. - Я пытался выбрать часы подешевле.
to try on - примерять, померить:
Try this suit on, please. Пожалуйста, померьте этот костюм.
б if it fits - если он подойдет по размеру
This suit fits you - Этот костюм вам впору.
It comes to seven pounds forty. Всего получается семь фунтов сорок пенсов.
Well, I bought the least expensive shirts. Ну, я купил самые недорогие рубашки.
the least expensive - самые недорогие (букв. наименее дорогие)
the most expensive - самые дорогие
the least ugly - наименее некрасивые
and the tie was less expensive than the one I showed you. и галстук был
дешевле, чем тот; который я тебе показывал.
expensive - дорогой
less expensive - дешевле (менее дорогой)
least expensive - самый дешевый (наименее дорогой)
more expensive - дороже
most expensive - самый дорогой
Вы знаете слово cheap - дешевый. Это слово может иметь некоторый отрицательный оттенок: the cheapest - самый дешевый может подразумевать и самый плохой по качеству. The least expensive также обозначает самый дешевый по цене, но для англичанина "звучит лучше".
I've chosen a good watch. Я выбрал хорошие часы.
to choose - выбирать, неправильный глагол:
I've chosen - я выбрал
Не went to get some cigarettes and some matches. Он пошел купить сигареты
