"And I — I," she thought, "if they'd offered me a thousand dollars a week I
wouldn't have gone if it meant being separated from Michael."
Black despair seized her. She could do nothing. She must pretend to be as
delighted as he was. He was too much excited to sit still and took her out into

"It's a wonderful chance (это удивительный шанс). Of course America's

("He doesn't love me (он не любит меня). He doesn't care a damn about me (ему
совершенно наплевать на меня; not to care a damn — совершенно не
интересоваться, относиться безразлично). I hate him (я ненавижу его). I'd
like to kill him (как бы я хотела убить его). Blast that American manager (черт
возьми этого американского импресарио; to blast — взрывать, разрушать).")

"A second year (второй год)!" For a moment (на мгновение) Julia lost control of
herself (потеряла над собой контроль) and her voice was heavy with tears (и ее
голос наполнился слезами: «стал тяжелым от слез»). "D'you mean to say (что

"Oh, I should come back (о, я вернусь) next summer of course (следующим

fare — плата за проезд, стоимость проезда, пищи, провизии) and I'd go and

"I don't know (я не знаю) how I'm going to get on (как я буду жить дальше)

She said the words very brightly (она произнесла слова очень весело), so that
they sounded polite (так, что они звучали вежливо), but somewhat casual (но
как-то небрежно).
"Well (ну), we can have a grand time together (мы сможем отлично провести
время вместе) in the summer (летом) and you know (и ты знаешь) a year, two
