Very clever little trick.

"Even me?" she said.

"I knew he didn't want women. They've got plenty of their own. It's men they

want who know how to wear their clothes and don't spit in the drawing-

room."

"Oh, Jimmie, don't let Michael go. I can't bear it."

"How can I prevent it? His contract's up at the end of the season. It's a

wonderful chance for him."

 

"But I love him (но я же люблю его). I want him (я хочу его). Supposing he sees

someone else in America (предположим, что он встретит кого-то еще в

Америке). Supposing some American heiress (предположим, что какая-нибудь

американская наследница) falls in love with him (влюбится в него)."

"If he doesn't love you any more than that (если он не любит тебя до такой

степени) I should have thought (я так думаю) you'd be well rid of him (что тебе

повезет, и ты избавишься от него)."


 

 


 



 

 

The remark revived Julia's fury (это замечание вновь разбудило ярость

Джулии).

"You rotten old eunuch (ты чертов старый евнух), what do you know about love

(да что ты знаешь о любви)?"

"These women (о, женщины)," Jimmie sighed (вздохнул Джимми). "If you try to

go to bed with them (если ты пытаешься затащить их в постель: «отправиться

с ними в кровать») they say you're a dirty old man (они говорят, что ты грязный

старикашка), and if you don't (а если не пытаешься) they say you're a rotten old

eunuch (они говорят, что ты чертов старый евнух)."

"These women," Jimmie sighed. "If you try to go to bed with them they say

you're a dirty old man, and if you don't they say you're a rotten old eunuch."

 

"Oh, you don't understand (о, ты же не понимаешь). He's so frightfully handsome

(он так ужасно красив), they'll fall for him (они все будут без ума от него; to

fall for smb. — увлечься кем-либо, влюбиться в кого-либо) like a row of

ninepins (одна за одной: «как ряд кеглей»), and poor lamb (и бедный

ягненочек), he's so susceptible to flattery (он так падок на лесть; susceptible —

восприимчивый, чувствительный). Anything can happen in two years (всякое

может случиться за два года)."

"What's this about two years (что это такое, насчет двух лет)?"

"If he's a success (если он будет успешен) he's to stay another year (он останется


 

 


 



 

 

там, еще на один год)."

"Well, don't worry your head about that (о, не забивай себе голову). He'll be back

at the end of the season (он вернется в конце сезона) and back for good (и

вернется навсегда; for good — навсегда, окончательно). That manager only

saw him in Candida (тот импресарио видел его только в «Кандиде»). It's the

only part (это единственная роль) he's half-way decent in (в которой он хоть

наполовину прилично /играет/). Take my word for it (поверь мне на слово; take

my word for it — уверяю вас, уж можете мне поверить), it won't be long (не

долго времени понадобится: «это не будет долгим») before they find out

(чтобы они поняли: «до того, как они поймут, что») they've been sold a pup

(что их надули; to sell smb. a pup — надуть кого-либо при продаже; pup —

щенок). He's going to be a flop (он потерпит неудачу; flop — шлепанье, глухой

удар при падении; фиаско, провал, кто-то не оправдавший надежд,

неудачник)."

"What do you know about acting (да что ты знаешь об актерской игре)?"

"Everything (все)."

"I'd like to scratch your eyes out (как бы я хотела выцарапать тебе глаза)."


 

 


 



 

 

"I warn you (я предупреждаю тебя) that if you attempt to touch me (что если ты

попытаешься тронуть меня) I shan't give you a little bit of a slap (я не буду тебя

слегка шлепать: «не дам тебе легкий шлепок»), I shall give you such a biff on

the jaw (я нанесу тебе такой удар в челюсть) that you won't be able to eat in

comfort (что ты не сможешь есть с комфортом) for a week (целую неделю)."

"By God, I believe you'd do it (ей-богу, верю, что ты можешь так поступить:

«сделать это»). Do you call yourself a gentleman (и ты называешь себя

джентльменом)?"

"Not even when I'm drunk (нет, даже когда я пьян)."

Julia giggled (Джулия хихикнула), and Jimmie felt the worst of the scene was

over (и Джимми почувствовал, что худшая /часть/ сцены миновала; to be over

— окончиться, завершиться).
