A groan of terror burst from the onlookers. Some stood petrified with dread, others threw themselves upon their knees and cried aloud.

1.

In the sunlight — in the daytime, when Nature is alive and busy all around us, we like the open hill-sides and the deep woods well enough: but in the night, when our Mother Earth has gone to sleep, and left us waking, oh! The world seems so lonesome, and we get frightened, like children in a silent house. Then we sit and sob, and long for the gas-lit streets, and the sound of human-voices, and answering throb of human life. We feel so helpless and so little in the great stillness, when the dark trees rustle in the night wind. There are so many ghosts about, and their silent sighs make us feel so sad.

При свете солнца, днем, когда природа живет и все вокруг нас полно деятельности, нам нравятся открытые склоны гор и густые леса. Но ночью, когда мать-земля уснула, a мы бодрствуем — о, мир кажется таким пустынным, и нам страшно, как детям в безлюдном доме. И мы сидим и плачем, тоскуя по улицам, залитым светом газа, по звукам человеческих голосов, бурному биению жизни. Мы кажемся себе такими беспомощными, такими маленькими в великом безмолвии, когда темные деревья шелестят от ночного ветра; вокруг так много призраков, и их тихие вздохи нагоняют на нас грусть.

(J.K.Jerome. Three men in a Boat. Tr. by M.Salye)

But Fleur! This fortune, so wisely invested, these treasures so carefully chosen and amassed, were all for her. And if it should turn out that he couldn’t give or leave them to her — well, life had no meaning, and what was the use of going in to look at this crazy, futuristic stuff with the view of seeing whether it had any future?

Но Флер! Это состояние, так умно застрахованное, эти сокровища, так старательно выбранные и накопленные, — все это предназначалось для нее. И если окажется, что он не сможет передать или завещать их дочери, тогда жизнь бессмысленна, и что пользы тогда ходить на сумасшедшую футуристическую выставку и раздумывать, есть ли у «будетлян»1 какое-нибудь будущее?

(J.Galsworthy. The Forsyte Saga. To Let. Tr. by N. Volpin)

4.

The other’s boyish voice replied1: “Missed it, old bean; he’s pulling your leg. When Jove and Juno created he them2, he was saying: ‘I’ll see how much these fools will swallow.’ And they’ve lapped up the lot.”

Мальчишеский голос другого возразил: — Брось, старина! Это же издевательство над зрителями. Он, когда мастерил свою олимпийскую парочку, верно, приговаривал: «Посмотрим, как проглотит их наше дурачье». А дурачье глотает и облизывается».
