INTRODUCTORY
Дорогие читатели!
Сегодня мы продолжаем разбирать рассказ Джека Лондона - «Закон Жизни» (“The
Law of Life” by Jack London). Книги Джека Лондона написаны не самым простым
языком, но я уверена что мы справимся. Такая красота (языка) стоит этого.
“The Law of Life”
by Jack London
1. The mosquitoes vanished with the first frost. (Комары исчезают
при первых заморозках.) 2.The little tree-squirrel crawled
away to die. (Маленькая белка уползает умирать.) 3.When age
settled upon the rabbit it became slow and heavy, and could no longer outfoot
its enemies. (С годами заяц становится медленнее и тяжеле и больше не может
ускакать от врага.) 4. Even the big bald-face grew clumsy and
blind and quarrelsome, in the end to be dragged down by a handful of yelping
huskies. (Даже медведь слепнет к старости, становится неуклюжим и в конце концов
свора визгливых собак одолевает его.) 5. He remembered how
he had abandoned his own father on an upper reach of the Klondike one winter,
the winter before the missionary came with his talk-books and his box of medicines.
(Коскуш вспомнил, как он сам бросил своего отца в верховьях Клондайка, - это
было той зимой, когда к ним пришел миссионер со своими молитвенниками и ящиком
лекарств.) 6. Many a time had Koskoosh smacked his lips over
the recollection of that box, though now his mouth refused to moisten. (Не раз
облизывал Коскуш губы при воспоминании об этом ящике, но сейчас у него во рту
уже не было слюны.) 7. The "painkiller" had been
especially good. (В особенности вспоминался ему "болеутолитель".)
8. But the missionary was a bother after all, for he brought
no meat into the camp, and he ate heartily, and the hunters grumbled. (Но миссионер
был обузой для племени, он не приносил дичи, а сам ел много, и охотники ворчали
на него.) 9. But he chilled his lungs on the divide by the
Mayo, and the dogs afterwards nosed the stones away and fought over his bones.
(В конце концов он простудился на реке около Мэйо, а потом собаки разбросали
камни и подрались из-за его костей.)

The mosquitoes vanished with the first frost. The little tree-squirrel crawled

huskies. He remembered how he had abandoned his own father on an upper reach
of the Klondike one winter, the winter before the missionary came with his talk-books
and his box of medicines. Many a time had Koskoosh smacked his lips over the
recollection of that box, though now his mouth refused to moisten. The "painkiller"
had been especially good. But the missionary was a bother after all, for he
brought no meat into the camp, and he ate heartily, and the hunters grumbled.
