a bit	ə ˈbɪt	немного	It was a bit windy, and some had made a mistake because the wind was behind us. It was quite cold, and it was raining a bit. After this we really needed something to make us feel a bit happier, so George sang to us.
a little	ə ˈlɪtl̩	немного; небольшой	You begin to smile a little at the kind people who ask you how you are. On Sunday you start to walk again, and you eat a little. George spoke for us.

a lot of	ə lɒt ɒv	много	It is evening. You are very wet. There is a lot of water in the boat and everything in it is wet, too. Henley was very busy, and we met quite a lot of people we knew in town. The time passed very quickly. We got in the way of a lot of other boats; a lot of other boats got in our way – and a lot of bad words were used.
about	əˈbaʊt	кругом; около; приблизительно	They said they wanted to get out. Harris said, ‘Follow me! I’m going out myself in about ten minutes.’ For a few hundred metres he ran as fast as he could. But, suddenly, he noticed that there were not many people about. And he had more trouble trying to stop them from going up his arms. Finally, he managed to get about six of the eggs into the pan.
absolutely	ˌæbsəˈlu:tli	совершенно; полностью	I did not want to give up the idea absolutely. I decided to go down to the edge of the river, and then splash some water over myself.
accident	ˈæksɪdənt	авария; несчастный случай; случайность	We travelled along the river without any accidents. So Harris decided to say that it was an accident. I remember that George and I nearly had an accident in a lock once…
across	əˈkrɒs	через; сквозь	We decided to wake George. We ran across the room, and we pulled the bedclothes off him. There was one big line across the top of the tin that looked like a mouth. It seemed to be laughing at us, and this make us very angry. As we were coming back from the river, a cat ran out from one of the house, and it began to walk across the road.
actually	ˈæktʃuəli	на самом деле; действительно	But that afternoon the wind actually helped us on our way, and the boat moved quite fast. We stood and waited for the important moment when the man would actually take the photograph.

Harris called out, ‘You ought to be pleased that something so exciting has happened to you!’ He added that he was very unhappy to hear men of their age use those bad words. We said that it was a nice change. We added that it was good to see the river in all kinds of weather.
address	əˈdres	адрес	George thought for a minute, and then he told the policeman the address.
afraid	əˈfreɪd	боящийся; опасающийся	But I was afraid for George. But he made a lot of noise, and he was afraid that Mrs Gippings would wake up. Oh, no. Not at all … certainly … I … I’m afraid I’ve made a mistake. I thought I knew you … I’m sorry.
after all	ˈɑ:ftər ɔ:l	в конечном счете; всё же; пожалуй	It was very cold, and I thought I would not splash water over myself, after all. I would go back into the boat and dress.
after some time	ˈɑ:ftə səm ˈtaɪm	спустя какое-то время; спустя некоторое время	After some time, I turned over the page and I began to read about another illness. Harris began to think that it was rather strange, but he went on. After some time, they came to a piece of cake on the ground. After some time, we found the river, and that made us happy. We knew that we were going the right way.
after that	ˈɑ:ftə ðæt	затем; после; после того	After that, every time they tried again, they arrived back in the centre. And that was where we spent the night – in two very short beds. After that, we were never quite so difficult about hotels…
afternoon	ˌɑ:ftəˈnu:n	послеобеденное время до заката; днем; пополудни	‘Well, it will rain this afternoon, then,’ we told ourselves. It was a lovely, sunny afternoon, and instead of going to school, he went fishing. That was when he caught the fish. Before lunch, he put the cover on the boat, and it stayed there all afternoon. We just left a little hole, so that we could see out.
afterwards	ˈɑ:ftəwədz	после этого; позже	Then he gets tired, and he is quiet afterwards. People who had eaten his eggs never wanted any other food afterwards. Afterwards we went back to the restaurant, where supper was waiting for us.
again	əˈɡen	вновь; снова; опять	Some of them had thought that they were never going to see their friends and their families again. At first, he thought he would go to bed again.

against	əˈɡenst	на; о; об; по; против	So I was against the sea trip – not for myself, you understand. George held the tin, and Harris put the sharp end of his stone against the top of it. Quickly, we pushed hard against the side of the lock, to move the boat.

ago	əˈɡəʊ	тому назад	‘Yes,’ the old man continued, ‘it was sixteen years ago. I caught him just by the bridge.’ ‘Ah, well,’ the man went on, ‘it was nearly five years ago that I caught that fish.’ He said that he had caught it himself, years ago, when he was a boy.
agree	əˈɡri:	соглашаться	I tried to make him see that it was very funny, but he did not agree with me. We agreed that we would row, and not tow, the boat. And Montmorency stood on his back legs in front of the window, looked out into the night, and gave a short bark to show that he agreed.
air	eə	воздух	His legs were in the air. But then, from the words which rose on the evening air, we understood that we were near people. We’ll have fresh air on the river.

all over	ɔ:l ˈəʊvə	везде; повсюду	Then they looked for the butter all over the room. In the end, George got behind Harris, and he saw it.
all right	ɔ:l raɪt	хорошо; в порядке; ладно	‘Oh, all right. I’ll tell them. Are we doing everything else all right?’ I said I thought it was better than the other hotel. Harris said it would be all right. We would not look at the man with red hair and ugly boots. ‘Is the fish all right?’ I cried. ‘I hope so,’ George said. He stood up carefully and looked round.
all the time	ɔ:l ðə ˈtaɪm	все время; всегда	But I was talking about my heart – nobody understood how ill I really was. I had this bad heart when I was a boy. It was with me all the time. You decide to fight, and you hit out, left and right, with your arms and your legs. You are shouting all the time. It continued to rain, not heavily, but all the time. When the sun is shining, the river turns everything into a golden dream.
almost	ˈɔ:lməʊst	почти	In wet weather it is almost impossible. There was almost no potato left. ‘Yes, I’m almost sorry we’ve decided to stay on the boat,’ Harris said.

along	əˈlɒŋ	вдоль; по; вперед; дальше; в том же направлении	At Kingston our boat was waiting for us. Harris and I put all our things into it, and we moved off along the River Thames. Than the cat stood up and continued along the road. Montmorency, with his tail between his legs, walked behind us.
already	ɔ:lˈredi	уже	‘Yes, it must be,’ his friend continued, ‘because we’ve walked about three kilometres already.’ The lady at the desk said she had already sent away fourteen people. We had already decided that we wanted to make this a good day’s journey.

always	ˈɔ:lweɪz	всегда; постоянно	George always thinks he is ill, but really, there is never anything the matter with him, you know. On that holiday, the weather reports in the newspaper were always wrong. I always think that I am doing too much work. It is not because I do not like work. I do like it. I find it very interesting.
amuse	əˈmju:z	забавлять, веселить, позабавить	That amused Harris. ‘George! Work!’ he laughed. ‘If George worked for half an hour, it would kill him.
amused	əˈmju:zd	приятно удивленный; весёлый	He was very amused and we all laughed about it. And then he told us the real story of the fish.
and things	ənd ˈθɪŋz	и всё остальное; и другое; и тому подобное	After breakfast I was sitting by the river, and thinking, when George said, ‘Perhaps, when you’ve rested enough, you could help to wash the plates and things.’ When we got to Datcher, we took out of the boat the basket of food, the two bags, and the coats and things. The boats that you can hire on the Thames above Marlow are all right: they do not let too much water in, and they have seats and things.
angrily	anɡrəli	сердито	‘What are you doing, you mean,’ he answers angrily.
angry	ˈæŋɡri	сердитый; раздраженный	Luckily, he was very angry with me, and so he forgot about his church. In the end, I became really angry with him. The face was very red and very angry.

answer	ˈɑ:nsə	отвечать; ответ	‘The Riverside,’ George replied. ‘Why?’ ‘Ah, it isn’t the same hotel, then,’ Harris answered. When we arrived opposite the first island, we shouted, but there was no answer. ‘It’s “The Queen of the Thames”,’ he answered.
anyway	ˈeniweɪ	так или иначе; как бы то ни было; все равно	Anyway, now they knew where they were on the map, and it looked easy. I did not understand what was happening anyway. ‘Oh, come on! I’ve done more that old J., anyway,’ Harris replied.
appear	əˈpɪə	появиться; показаться	Then, five minutes later, he appeared again in the same place. Finally George’s head appeared over the side of the boat. And from the middle of the grass the food appeared, and then Harris came out, dirty and wet.
argue	ˈɑ:ɡju:	спорить; ругаться	The next day you have no voices because you have all caught colds, and all day you argue with each other in angry whispers… We began to argue about this, so we agreed that we had done enough for one night. But that morning, Montmorency wished that he had not argued with a cat.
arm	ɑ:m	рука (от кисти до плеча)	You decide to fight, and you hit out, left and right, with your arms and your legs. You are shouting all the time. One woman was carrying a baby.

He would arrest us and take us to a police station, and then we would have somewhere to sleep. But then we thought, ‘Perhaps he won’t arrest us. Perhaps he’ll just hit us, too!’ We could not fight policemen all night.
arrive	əˈraɪv	прибыть; достичь; приходить	After a very long time, a taxi arrived and stopped for us. When we arrived opposite the first island, we shouted, but there was no answer. We had written to ask for a boat, and, when we arrived at the boathouse, we gave our names.
as … as	əz … æz	так … как; такой же … как	For a few hundred metres he ran as fast as he could. But, suddenly, he noticed that there were not many people about. So Harris ran at it, and picked it up. He threw it, as hard as he could, into the middle of the river. You don’t see many fish as big as that one now. Well, goodnight, then.’ And he went out.

asleep	əˈsli:p	спящий	I don’t like looking at the trees and the flowers, and when I’m asleep you’ll play about with the boat and I’ll fall over the side!’ Then we remembered. We looked at George. He was still asleep. Now, it makes me very angry when I see another man asleep and I am awake. ‘Well, how can you know?’ George answered Harris. ‘You’re always asleep. Have you ever seen Harris awake, except at meal times?’ George asked me.
at all	ət ɔ:l	вообще; совсем; нисколько	We pretended that we were not interesting in the water at all. We wanted it to think we did not care if it got hot or not.

at first	ət ˈfɜ:st	сначала	At first I could not answer him, because I was laughing so much. He thought, at first, that it was the end of the world. It rained all day, and, at first, we pretended we were enjoying it.

at night	ət naɪt	ночью	‘Now,’ George said, ‘we don’t want to take a tent. We can put a cover over the boat at night. On that trip we reached Datchet at ten o’clock at night.

at the front of	ət ðə frʌnt ɒv	спереди	Montmorency was at the front of the boat. We needed some hot water to make tea, so we put the water on the stove at the front of the boat, and we went to the back.

So then we got out both the food baskets.

You can give me the picture.’ When we came to Hampton Court Palace, Harris asked me if I had ever been in the maze there. He told me a story about it… Next we came to Halliford and Shepperton.

count	kaʊnt	считать	‘How many swans did you say there were?’ George asked. ‘Thirty-two,’ Harris replied, sleepily. ‘You said eighteen before,’ George said. ‘No, I didn’t,’ Harris answered. ‘I said twelve. Do you think I can’t count?’
country	ˈkʌntri	деревня	I agree with George, and I said that perhaps we could go to the country. ‘How beautiful,’ we said, ‘in the country, by the river, with the birds, the flowers and the trees all around us!’
cover	ˈkʌvə	чехол; покров; навес	We can put a cover over the boat at night. We would throw off the cover and we would jump into the water, with shouts of happiness. Before lunch, he put the cover on the boat, and it stayed there all afternoon.
cow	kaʊ	корова	Then, at the next corner, they see a cow. You have to stop, and leave the boat, to chase the cow away…
crowd	kraʊd	толпа	The crowd of people waved goodbye to us. Harris took out his map again, but this made the crowd angry. Harris felt that the crowd was not very grateful to him.
cruel	krʊəl	жестокий	Harris who is sometimes a little cruel, said, ‘Ah! And now you’re going to have a bad time on the river for a change. A change is good for you. Come on! Get out of the boat and tow!’
cry (cried)	kraɪ (kraɪd)	восклицать; кричать; плакать	‘Don’t pull it! You’ve got it all wrong, you stupid man!’ you cry. But just then, the young woman cried wildly, ‘Oh, Henry, then where’s Aunt Mary?’… ‘Look at your nose, you stupid fool!’ the voice cried again, more loudly this time.
cry (cries)	kraɪ (kraɪz)	крик; вопль	No help comes, and all you know is that thousands of people are kicking you, and you cannot breathe. Somebody else is in trouble, too. You can hear his cries. They are coming from under your bed.

cut (cut, cut)	kʌt (kʌt, kʌt)	порезать	He tried to catch the glass… and he cut himself. Then Harris tried to open the tin with a little knife, and he cut himself badly.

dance	dɑ:ns	двигаться; кружиться; приплясывать; прыгать	He looked for something to put round his finger, and he could not find anything. So he danced round the house, and he shouted at everybody. Whenever he went near the pan, he burnt himself. Then he dropped everything, and danced about, and waved his hands, and shouted. Once Montmorency went and looked into the pan, but he burnt himself. Then he started dancing and shouting, too.
danger	ˈdeɪndʒə	опасность	On a winter evening, when men are telling stories about the dangers they have known, George brings out his hat. It did not seem to understand that its life was in danger.
dangerous	ˈdeɪndʒərəs	угрожающий; опасный	Harris was going to pretend that he wanted to be in the centre, but the crowd looked dangerous. We took the pieces of metal, and we began to drop them into the holes. You would not expect this to be dangerous work, but it was.
dark	dɑ:k	темный; темнота	So they had to undress and get into bed in the dark. It was still raining, and it was dark and very wet. This happened in the winter, so it was dark in the mornings, anyway.
darkness	ˈdɑ:knəs	темнота	Everything looked strange and different in the darkness.
day	deɪ	день	At the end of the day, night comes and the world is peaceful and calm. Harris told me about the maze as we were passing through Molesey lock. Our boat was the only one in the lock that day. ‘I’ve had a bad day at the bank,’ he explained.
day before	deɪ bɪˈfɔ:	вчерашний день	They always tell you what the weather was like yesterday, or the day before. It is never today’s weather. It is always wrong. I remember that one autumn I went on holiday…

He wanted to give it to us for the meal. You, in the red and black caps! If you don’t do something quickly, there’ll be two dead bodies in that photograph!’
death	deθ	смерть	When I walked into that reading-room, I was a happy, healthy young man. When I left I was a very sick man, close to death…
decide	dɪˈsaɪd	решить	We therefore decided that we would sleep out in tents on fine nights, and in hotels when it rained. We had decided to sleep on the boat. ‘I know we’ve decided to stay and die on this boat,’ George said, ‘but there is a train which leaves Pangbourne soon after five o’clock.

detail	ˈdi:teɪl	деталь	He shows it to his friends. Then he tells the story again – and he adds more details to it each time.
die	daɪ	умереть	We’ll all die of thirst! No pubs!’ (It’s better to let Harris go on shouting when he gets angry. Then he gets tired, and he is quiet afterwards.) He added that it seemed to be nice and quiet there, and he said that he would like to die there. ‘I know we’ve decided to stay and die on this boat,’ George said, ‘but there is a train which leaves Pangbourne soon after five o’clock.
different	ˈdɪfrənt	не похожий; отличный; другой; разный; различный	And each one of us thought that it was a different place. It was a very good meal. It was different from other meals. The potatoes were a bit hard, but we had good teeth, so it did not really matter. We told him the different stories we had heard about his fish.
difficult	ˈdɪfɪkəlt	сложный; трудный; требовательный	It is difficult to put up a tent in good weather. In wet weather it is almost impossible. We also heard many bad words coming from under the cover. Montmorency and I decided that this was because the job was very difficult. From there to Oxford is the most difficult part of the river.
dig (dug, dug) up	dɪɡ (dʌɡ, dʌɡ) ʌp	откопать, вырыть	He had clearly just dug it up from a hole in the ground. When he dug it up, he had damaged it very badly.
dining-room	ˈdaɪnɪŋ ru:m	столовая	George took his watch and ran downstairs. The dining-room was dark and silent. There was no fire, no breakfast.
dinner	ˈdɪnə	обед; ужин	And for dinner we can take cold chicken legs, tomatoes, cold meat, fruit, cakes, chocolate… We can drink water.’ We would finish our dinner by half past six. After that we could walk about the village in the rain, or we could sit in a dark little pub.
dirt	dɜ:t	грязь	However, the river between Reading and Henley was cleaner because we had taken all the dirt from it, and we had washed it into our clothes.
dirty	ˈdɜ:ti	грязный	And from the middle of the grass the food appeared, and then Harris came out, dirty and wet. We did not stay long, though, because the river is dirty there. Before we washed them, they were very, very dirty, but we could just wear them.
disagree	ˌdɪsəˈɡri:	не соглашаться; разойтись во мнениях	The only thing that Montmorency and I disagree about is cats. I like cats. Montmorency does not.

disappear	ˌdɪsəˈpɪə	исчезать	Sometimes just one blow made the sickness disappear and made me want to start work immediately… After some time, Harris and I began to think that Bell Weir lock had disappeared. George and I looked round. Then we looked at each other. Harris had gone – disappeared!
discover	dɪˈskʌvə	узнавать; обнаружить	George told us that he knew all about this kind of thing – and we believed him. We discovered later that this was not true. We never discovered what had really happened. If you are thinking of taking a trip on the river, and you are going to start from Oxford, take your own boat (unless you can take someone else’s without being discovered).
discovered	dɪˈskʌvəd	узнанный; обнаруженный	If you are thinking of taking a trip on the river, and you are going to start from Oxford, take your own boat (unless you can take someone else’s without being discovered).
discuss	dɪˈskʌs	обсуждать	We pulled out the maps and we discussed plans. The following evening, we discussed what we wanted to take with us. At about four o’clock we began to discuss our plans for that evening.
disease	dɪˈzi:z	болезнь	I read about half a page – and then I knew that I had that disease too. I came to a disease which was worse than the last one. I found that there was only one disease which I did not have. This made me a little unhappy. Why didn’t I have that disease too?
do\does (did; done)	dʊ\dʌz (dɪd; dʌn)	делать	However, we thought that it was all necessary for the job. We did nothing because they had told us to wait. We asked Harris what he had done with it, but he did not seem to understand. They followed him about. He began to feel that he really had done something wrong.
do\does (did; done) well	dʊ\dʌz (dɪd; dʌn) wel	поступать хорошо	Everyone thought he was very clever. Even his teacher thought he had done well and did not punish him.
doctor	ˈdɒktə	врач; доктор	Of course, nobody understood that the problem was my heart. Doctors were not so clever then. They just thought that I was lazy! Harris said it would be very serious if one of us became ill because we were a long way from a doctor.
dog	dɒɡ	собака	When he first came to live with me, I thought, ‘This dog will not be with me long. He is too good for this world.’ And then another voice called, ‘Push your nose out! You two, with the dog!’ Twenty minutes later, three figures and an ashamed dog quietly left the nearest boathouse, and went towards the station.
door	dɔ:	дверь	George said that Mrs G. was a lazy old woman. Then he unlocked the door and ran out into the street. I wanted somewhere with roses round the door. I do not know why. The hotels were all full, and we could not go round all the houses and knock on doors at midnight!
downstairs	ˌdaʊnˈsteəz	нижний этаж; вниз	So we had to go downstairs to get them out of the suitcase. George took his watch and ran downstairs.
dream	dri:m	мечта; сон	It continued to rain, not heavily, but all the time. When the sun is shining, the river turns everything into a golden dream.
dream (dreamt\dreamed; dreamt\dreamed)	dri:m (dremt\dri:md; dremt\dri:md)	видеть во сне	The peaceful sound of the water against the boat sends us to sleep – and we dream. We dream that the world is young again… There you dream that a very large animal has suddenly sat down on you. And he seemed to think that George and I had been dreaming. Oh, how wonderful it was to be in the boat again!
dress	dres	одеваться	So we dressed in light clothes, and we went out. He had a cold bath and he dressed. I would go back into the boat and dress.
dressed	drest	одетый	At last you find your head in the fresh air. Near you, you see a half-dressed murderer.
drink	ˈdrɪŋk	напиток; питье	I reminded him that we had water in the boat. Then he started shouting about water. He said drinks like that made people ill.
drink (drank, drunk)	drɪŋk (dræŋk, drʌŋk)	пить	On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday you wish that you were dead. On Saturday you are able to drink something. ‘Oh!’ George cried. ‘But we can’t drink the river, you know.’ We ate and drank without speaking, and then we sat back and rested. We felt good, and thoughtful, and kind.

drop	drɒp	опускать, помещать, ронять, уронить	Then he lifted the picture up… and he dropped it. He tried to catch the glass… and he cut himself. We took the pieces of metal, and we began to drop them into the holes. You would not expect this to be dangerous work, but it was. Because I was laughing so much, I dropped the shirt in the water again.
drown	draʊn	топить	Harris said the swans had tried to pull him and Montmorency from the boat and drown them.
during	ˈdjʊərɪŋ	во время; в течение	During the walk, she told us about all the pains she had in her back.
each	i:tʃ	каждый	So each one of us had to get up on the chair and look for the place. And each one of us thought that it was a different place. In a boat, I have noticed that each person thinks that he is doing all the work. Harris and I lost five pence each. We decided to stop then, because the game was getting too exciting.
each other	i:tʃ ˈʌðə	друг друга; друг другом; друг другу; друг с другом	We smiled sadly at each other, and then we said that perhaps we should try to eat something. It is also a good idea to talk very loudly to each other. We looked at each other, and we all felt badly about it.
each time	i:tʃ ˈtaɪm	каждый раз	He shows it to his friends. Then he tells the story again – and he adds more details to it each time.
ear	ɪə	ухо	We decided to wake George. We ran across the room, and we pulled the bedclothes off him. Harris hit him with a shoe, and I shouted in his ear. He woke up. When I meet a cat, I say hello to it. Then I bend down and I stroke it gently, behind the ears and along the side of its head. It was a big, black cat. I have never seen a bigger cat. It had lost half its tail and one of its ears, but it looked calm and happy.
earlier	ˈɜ:liə	раньше; ранее	Harris’s friend said that they had passed the piece of cake earlier. Earlier, we had decided to go on to Wallingford that day, but the river was lovely at Streatley.
early	ˈɜ:li	ранний; рано	This was because we did not need to get up early. We left Streatley early the next morning. He likes to travel early in the morning or late at night, when there are not many people about to look at him.
easier	ˈi:zɪə	легче; проще	We can put a cover over the boat at night. It will be like a little house, lovely and warm and comfortable. It’s much easier than a tent. Then from Cleeve there is quite a long piece of the river which has no locks. Most people are pleased about this because it makes everything much easier, but I quite like locks, myself.
easily	ˈi:zəli	легко	‘How beautiful,’ we said, ‘in the country, by the river, with the birds, the flowers and the trees all around us!’ I can imagine it easily… He thought that George and I could sleep in one bed very easily.
east	i:st	восточный	Rain, cold, wet to fine, some thunder, and an east wind.
easy	i:zi	легко; просто	I opened the suitcase, and I put the boots in. It was not easy! He had studied a map of the maze, and so he knew it was very easy to get out of it again. They did not speak, of course, but it was easy to imagine their conversation.
eat (ate, eaten)	i:t (et, ˈi:tn̩)	есть	George said that Harris never did anything except eat and sleep. We ate a very good supper, and then we thought we would have some whisky. People who had eaten his eggs never wanted any other food afterwards.
edge	edʒ	кромка; край	I decided to go down to the edge of the river, and then splash some water over myself. Harris had not known that he had been sitting on the edge of a hole.
egg	eɡ	яйцо	‘First, breakfast,’ George began. ‘We need eggs, cold meat, tea, bread and butter, of course. He said he was very good at doing eggs. At first we thought it was necessary to do this to cook the eggs.
eight	eɪt	восемь	Everyone went to bed at eight o’clock, and he had to walk for an hour to buy cigarettes and a newspaper.
eighteen	ˌeɪˈti:n	восемнадцать	Half an hour later they returned – with eighteen more swans. There was another terrible battle. ‘You said eighteen before,’ George said. ‘No, I didn’t,’ Harris answered. ‘I said twelve. Do you think I can’t count?’
either	ˈaɪðə\ˈi:ðər	также	And then George said that he felt bad, too, and that he did not know what he was doing either. But he could not get to sleep. He tried to read, but that was no good either. Harris did not like the colour of his hair. He did not like his boots either.
eleven	ɪˈlevn̩	11	When we started off on our long walk back, it was eleven o’clock. It was a dark and miserable night. We reached Reading at about eleven o’clock. We did not stay long, though, because the river is dirty there. Montmorency had eleven fights on the first day and fourteen on the second. This made him very happy.
else	ˈels	еще	In fact, out feet nearly filled the photograph. You could not see much else.
end	end	заканчиваться; конец	At first, you think that the world had ended. Then you think that this cannot be true. So it must be thieves, or murderers, or fire. ‘What’s the matter, Tom?’ Joe replied, from the other end of the bed.
end of the world	end əv ðə wɜ:ld	конец света	He thought, at first, that it was the end of the world. Harris still believes that George and I planned it.
enemy	ˈenəmi	враг; неприятель	Montmorency ran at that cat as fast as he could, but the cat did not hurry. It did not seem to understand that its life was in danger. It walked on quietly until the enemy was near it.
enjoy	ɪnˈdʒoɪ	получать удовольствие; наслаждаться	When it rains, you do not enjoy living in tents. It rained all day, and, at first, we pretended we were enjoying it. We had lunch at a little pub, and Montmorency enjoyed that.
enjoy oneself	ɪnˈdʒoɪ wʌnˈself	веселиться, получать удовольствие	You start out on Monday and you think that you are going to enjoy yourself. You wave goodbye happily to your friends. We had an excellent meal, and Harris calmed down and began to enjoy himself again. We had come to enjoy ourselves for a fortnight on the river, and we were going to finish the trip.
enough	ɪˈnʌf	достаточно	We began to argue about this, so we agreed that we had done enough for one night. After breakfast I was sitting by the river, and thinking, when George said, ‘Perhaps, when you’ve rested enough, you could help to wash the plates and things.’ We also put in some carrots and other vegetables. But George looked at it, and he said there was not enough.
entrance	ɪnˈtrɑ:ns	вход	So then Harris said that the best thing was to go back to the entrance and start again.
etc	etˈsetrə	и так далее; и тому подобное	I looked at all the plates and cups, and bottles, and tomatoes, and cakes, etc.
Europe	ˈjʊərəp	Европа	At last, Harris’s friend said to him, ‘This must be a very big maze.’ ‘One of the biggest in Europe,’ Harris answered.
even	ˈi:vn̩	даже	Everyone thought he was very clever. Even his teacher thought he had done well and did not punish him.
evening	ˈi:vn̩ɪŋ	вечер; вечерний	Anyway, that evening, George and William Harris and I sat there for half an hour, and described our illness to each other. At first, we did not know what had happened. But then, from the words which rose on the evening air, we understood that we were near people. At about four o’clock we began to discuss our plans for that evening.
ever since	ˈevə sɪns	с тех пор как; с того времени как	He said, ‘I’ve looked forward to visiting Hampton Church ever since we decided to make this trip.’
every time	ˈevri ˈtaɪm	каждый раз	It is a most extraordinary thing, but every time I read about an illness, I realize that I have it too – and that my symptoms are very bad! After that, every time they tried again, they arrived back in the centre. In fact, every time George and I looked at him, he was doing this. At first we thought it was necessary to do this to cook the eggs.
everybody	ˈevrɪˌbɒdi	каждый; все	Usually it is very busy. On Sundays, when the weather is fine, there are boats everywhere. Everybody comes down to the river. When Montmorency meets a cat, everybody knows about it, and a lot of bad words are used.
everything else	ˈevriθɪŋ ˈels	всё остальное	‘Oh, all right. I’ll tell them. Are we doing everything else all right?’
everywhere	ˈevrɪweə	всюду; везде	Usually it is very busy. On Sundays, when the weather is fine, there are boats everywhere. Everybody comes down to the river. Julius Caesar stayed there with his soldiers. Queen Elizabeth I, she was there too. You can never get away from that woman. She was everywhere.
excellent	ˈeksələnt	превосходный; отличный	We had an excellent meal, and Harris calmed down and began to enjoy himself again. George said it would be a good idea to have a really excellent supper. The river near Streatley and Goring is excellent for fishing.
except	ɪkˈsept	кроме; помимо	There were no other people on the river, except for three old men. George said that Harris never did anything except eat and sleep. ‘You’re always asleep. Have you ever seen Harris awake, except at meal times?’ George asked me.
excited	ɪkˈsaɪtɪd	взволнованный; возбужденный	This annoyed them more than anything, and it made them worried and excited. George became very excited about it, and he climbed up onto a chair to see it better.
exciting	ɪkˈsaɪtɪŋ	захватывающий; увлекательный	But the most exciting thing of all is to let girls tow your boat. On our present trip, though, nothing exciting happened. We decided to stop then, because the game was getting too exciting.
excuse me	ɪkˈskju:z mi:	извините	‘Excuse me, do you know any nice little hotels near here?’ we said. Then George turned to the man and said, ‘Excuse me, I hope you don’t mind, but my friend and I, who are only on holiday here, would like to ask you a question. Could you tell us how you caught that fish?’
exhausted	ɪɡˈzɔ:stɪd	измученный; изможденный	After that, I took the tin away. I beat it until I was exhausted and miserable.
expect	ɪkˈspekt	ожидать	I began to read about it and, as I expected, I had that disease too. However, I said nothing, and I started to pack the clothes. It took much longer than I had expected, but in the end it was finished. In fact, he thinks that perhaps I should have more work. However, I expect he only says that to make me feel better.
explain	ɪkˈspleɪn	объяснять	I explained to George and William Harris how I felt when I got up in the morning. I do not know how he did it, and Harris himself could not explain it later. ‘No,’ we said, and we explained that we did not live there. We said that we were only there on holiday.
expression	ɪkˈspreʃn̩	выражение	The expression on Montmorency’s face told us that he knew something, but he said nothing. Then he sat down with a kind, but sad, expression on his face, and he tried to hide his feet. We did not come out well in that photograph because the man took it just as we fell over. We had expressions of ‘Where am I?’ and ‘What’s happened?’ on our faces, and we were waving our feet about wildly.
extraordinary	ɪkˈstrɔ:dn̩ri	удивительный; странный; экстраординарный	It is a most extraordinary thing, but every time I read about an illness, I realize that I have it too – and that my symptoms are very bad!
eye	aɪ	глаз	The scissors flew up, and nearly hit him in the eye. I tried to make a hole in the tin with the sharp end of a piece of metal.
eyes	aɪz	глаза	But he looks so good, so well-behaved. When old ladies and gentlemen look at him, tears come into their eyes. He hoped that nobody would notice him. Now, if you say ‘Cats!’ to Montmorency, he looks up at you, and his eyes beg you, ‘No, please!’ ‘Why? Where are your eyes?’ the man said, and he turned George towards the river.
face	feɪs	морда; лицо	‘It’s different for me,’ his face said. ‘You like it, but I don’t! There’s nothing for me to do. I don’t smoke. And then, to our horror, we saw Harris’s head – and only his head – in the grass. The face was very red and very angry. Everybody in the lock had stopped moving and they all had fixed expressions on their faces.
fall (fell, fallen)	fɔ:l (fel, ˈfɔ:lən)	падать	Because it is wet, it is very heavy. And then it falls on top of you. As a result, I fell in the water, and the tin flew away and broke a cup. He had not fallen in the river, because we were between him and the water.
fall (fell, fallen) asleep	fɔ:l (fel, ˈfɔ:lən) əˈsli:p	уснуть	He stopped, at a place where we could not get into the boat, and then immediately he fell asleep.

fall (fell, fallen) off	fɔ:l (fel, ˈfɔ:lən) ɒf	свалиться; падать	Then Uncle Podger tried again himself. This time he fell off the chair on to the piano. His head and his body hit the piano at the same time.
fall (fell, fallen) over	fɔ:l (fel, ˈfɔ:lən) ˈəʊvə	падать; опрокидываться	I don’t like looking at the trees and the flowers, and when I’m asleep you’ll play about with the boat and I’ll fall over the side!’ That was when the boat hit the river bank, and Harris fell over backwards. We did not come out well in that photograph because the man took it just as we fell over.
family	ˈfæməli	семья	There were about twenty of them. Some of them had thought that they were never going to see their friends and their families again. As they worked, they shouted unkind things about us – not just the usual things, but special things about us, and about our families. If it killed us – well, that would be a sad thing for our friends and families, but we would not give in to the weather.
far away	fɑ:r əˈweɪ	далеко	We could find a nice, quiet place and we could sit in the warm summer sun. We could go somewhere peaceful, far away from other people.
fast	fɑ:st	быстро	They pull the boat much too fast. But that afternoon the wind actually helped us on our way, and the boat moved quite fast. This makes the water very angry, and it gets hot very fast.
fasten	ˈfɑ:sn̩	прикреплять	George took one end, and he fastened it over the front of the boat.

fault	fɔ:lt	вина; ошибка; проступок	‘Oh, don’t be so stupid!’ Harris’s hear said. ‘It’s your fault. You made me sit there.

feel (felt, felt)	fi:l (felt, felt)	чувствовать, ощущать; ощупать, трогать	I only waited. I looked at all the plates and cups, and bottles, and tomatoes, and cakes, etc. I felt that it was soon going to get exciting. He felt his wrist, and bent down and felt his legs. Then, with his watch in his hand, he went up to the policeman. Nobody said a word. We looked at each other, and we all felt badly about it.
feeling	ˈfi:lɪŋ	чувство	Then George stood in front of the fire, and, with great feeling, he showed us how he felt in the night.
fetch	fetʃ	сходить за	However, Harris managed to chase her away, and she went to fetch her husband. And then he called out to another man, ‘Jim, fetch “The Queen of the Thames”.’ We laughed at this, and then one of us said, ‘All right. Now go and fetch the real boat.’
few	ˈfju:	несколько	He came back a few minutes later with a dead rat in his mouth. He wanted to give it to us for the meal. Then we stopped talking for a few minutes, and we began to look round the room.

We went in and sat down.

He felt very lonely and miserable.
go (went, gone) round	ɡəʊ (ˈwent, ɡɒn) raʊnd	обходить кругом; обходить всех по очереди	Montmorency’s idea of a good time is to collect together all the most awful dogs he can find and then go round the town, looking for other awful dogs to fight. Slowly, you start to go round to his side to tell him what you think of him. The hotels were all full, and we could not go round all the houses and knock on doors at midnight!
go (went, gone) to bed	ɡəʊ (ˈwent, ɡɒn) tə bed	ложиться спать	I explained to George and William Harris how I felt when I got up in the morning. William Harris told us how he felt when he went to bed.

Harris said it would be all right. We would not look at the man with red hair and ugly boots. ‘No,’ Harris said. ‘If you want a rest and a change, then the sea is best.’

And that was how grateful they were to me, after I had brought them and their old boat all the way up from Kingston; after I had organized everything of them; and after I had taken care of them! ‘Well,’ he said, ‘we’ve had a good trip, and I’m very grateful to Old Father Thames.

ill	ɪl	больной, нездоровый	But I was talking about my heart – nobody understood how ill I really was. I reminded him that we had water in the boat. Then he started shouting about water. He said drinks like that made people ill. Harris said it would be very serious if one of us became ill because we were a long way from a doctor.
illness	ˈɪlnəs	болезнь; болезни	It is a most extraordinary thing, but every time I read about an illness, I realize that I have it too – and that my symptoms are very bad! And they did not give me medicine for this illness – they hit me on the side of the head. So then, of course, we began to talk about other illnesses.
imagine	ɪˈmædʒɪn	вообразить; представить	We thought about the fruit. We imagined the taste of it. They did not speak, of course, but it was easy to imagine their conversation. We imagined that we were inside our warm little boat, tired and a little hungry, with the dark, miserable river outside.

in case	ɪn keɪs	в случае; из страха что; из-за боязни что	He stood there on his head, and he held on to the side of the boat. His legs were in the air. He could not move in case he fell over. There is an old church at Shepperton, and I was worried in case Harris wanted to go and visit it.
in fact	ɪn fækt	более того; к тому же; в действительности	In fact, there are usually too many taxis. In fact, he was probably going to say something angry to George and his friends. In fact, our feet nearly filled the photograph. You could not see much else.
in front of	ɪn ðə frʌnt ɒv	впереди; перед	Then George stood in front of the fire, and, with great feeling, he showed us how he felt in the night. And Montmorency stood on his back legs in front of the window, looked out into the night, and gave a short bark to show that he agreed.
in the end	ɪn ði end	в итоге; в конце концов	But, in the end, Harris agreed that it was a good idea. In the end, we decided to continue to Runnymede. Harris said he had had quite a hard battle with these two swans. But he had fought bravely and, in the end, he defeated them.
in the evening	ɪn ði ˈi:vn̩ɪŋ	вечером	The next day, which was Friday, we collected all these things together. In the evening we met to pack. George was very angry with Mrs G. He decided to tell her this later, in the evening.

in the morning	ɪn ðə ˈmɔ:nɪŋ	утра; утром	Harris and I would go down to Kingston in the morning and take the boat up to Chertsey, but George could not leave the City until the afternoon. The packing was completed at ten to one in the morning, and we all went to bed.

in the night	ɪn ðə naɪt	ночью	Then George stood in front of the fire, and, with great feeling, he showed us how he felt in the night.

inside	ɪnˈsaɪd	внутри; внутрь	I found Harris’s toothbrush, but I could not find mine. In the end, I found it inside a boot. I do not know how he did it, and Harris himself could not explain it later.

instead	ɪnˈsted	вместо	It was a lovely, sunny afternoon, and instead of going to school, he went fishing.

interesting	ˈɪntrəstɪŋ	интересный; любопытный	While we were eating, George got the newspaper and read us interesting pieces from it – pieces about people who had been killed on the river, and interesting reports about the weather. After that, the river is not very interesting until you get to Boveney. George and I were towing the boat then. I arranged my hair carefully, and I tried to make myself look strong and interesting.
island	ˈaɪlənd	остров	We continued slowly on our way, and we stopped for lunch near Monkey Island. We passed Shiplake at a quarter to twelve, and then George said, quite slowly, ‘You don’t remember which island it was, do you?’ We began to wonder if there were only four islands, of if we were on the wrong bit of the river.
It’s all right	ɪts ɔ:l raɪt	всё в порядке	‘No!’ you shout. ‘It’s all right! But go on! Don’t stop!’ ‘Why not?’ ‘Because we can’t steer the boat if you stop.’

jump	dʒʌmp	прыгать	First of all, the pieces of metal would not fit into their holes. We had to jump on them, and kick them, and beat them. We would throw off the cover and we would jump into the water, with shouts of happiness. Then we would enjoy a long swim.
jump out	dʒʌmp aʊt	выпрыгнуть	‘What?’ I cried, and I jumped out of bed. I woke Harris and told him. ‘Good heavens!’ George cried. ‘I have to be at the bank by nine o’clock!’ And he threw down the watch and jumped out of bed.

just then	dʒəst ðen	в этот момент	Just then he pulls the tent from his side, and he destroys all your hard work. Just then George heard a clock … one … two … three. ‘But that’s only three times!’ George said, when it had finished. He had to go out of the room just then, and we turned to look at the fish again.
keep (kept; kept)	ki:p (kept; kept)	продолжать; удерживать; хранить	It’s easy, you see. You just keep taking the first turning to the right.’ ‘You must keep the boat moving!’ It was George’s hat that saved his life that day. He keeps that hat now.

key	ki:	ключ	They wanted to know if he really did live there. They watched him go in with his key.
kick	kɪk	пинать ногами	No help comes, and all you know is that thousands of people are kicking you, and you cannot breathe. We packed our things into it, kicked two of Montmorency’s friends out of the taxi, and started on our holiday. We had to jump on them, and kick them, and beat them.
kick out	kɪk aʊt	выгнать	After a very long time, a taxi arrived and stopped for us. We packed our things into it, kicked two of Montmorency’s friends out of the taxi, and started on our holiday.
kill	kɪl	убить	If George worked for half an hour, it would kill him. If it killed us – well, that would be a sad thing for our friends and families, but we would not give in to the weather. But by the end of the year, he had killed twelve chickens, which I had to pay for…

knock	nɒk	бить, стучать, колотить, сбить	At that moment Mrs Poppets, my housekeeper, knocked on the door. She wanted to know if we were ready to have supper. Then George tried, and he knocked it into a shape which was strange, and terrible, and ugly. We had knocked those three old men from their seats, and they were all lying on the bottom of their boat. The hotels were all full, and we could not go round all the houses and knock on doors at midnight!

late	leɪt	поздно	It was late, and, by that time, they (George’s father and George’s father’s friend) were feeling quite happy themselves.

He likes to travel early in the morning or late at night, when there are not many people about to look at him.
later	ˈleɪtə	позже; спустя	George told us that he knew all about this kind of thing – and we believed him. We discovered later that this was not true.

laugh	lɑ:f	смех; смеяться	He just went on laughing! In fact, I never saw a man laugh so much. In the end, I became really angry with him. ‘Well, that’s very strange,’ he answered, with a little laugh. ‘You’re right. I did catch it.’ We laughed at this, and then one of us said, ‘All right. Now go and fetch the real boat.’ They said that this was the real boat…
laugh at	lɑ:f æt	смеяться над	This made me very angry, but George started to laugh. ‘I can’t see anything to laugh at,’ I told George. The people there laughed at us. There were only three beds in the house, and there were seven men there already. There was one big line across the top of the tin that looked like a mouth. It seemed to be laughing at us, and this make us very angry.

leg	leɡ	нога (от бедра до ступни)	You decide to fight, and you hit out, left and right, with your arms and your legs. You are shouting all the time. He had to stay there until I could catch his legs and pull him back. And that made him more angry. Than the cat stood up and continued along the road. Montmorency, with his tail between his legs, walked behind us.
less	les	меньше	‘Oh, come on! I’ve done more that old J., anyway,’ Harris replied. ‘Well, it would be difficult to do less,’ George added.
let (let; let)	let (let; let)	позволять; разрешать	We’ll all die of thirst! No pubs!’ (It’s better to let Harris go on shouting when he gets angry. Then he gets tired, and he is quiet afterwards.) But the most exciting thing of all is to let girls tow your boat. Let me tell you about it… Harris’s idea was that both George and I had let him do all the work. George said that Harris never did anything except eat and sleep.
let (let; let) go	let (let; let) ɡəʊ	отпустить	‘Don’t pull it! You’ve got it all wrong, you stupid man!’ you cry. ‘No, I haven’t!’ he shouts. ‘Let your side go!’

lie (lying)	laɪ (ˈlaɪɪŋ)	лежать	We had knocked those three old men from their seats, and they were all lying on the bottom of their boat. Twice he made George and me get up, because he wanted to see if we were lying on his trousers. But the fish was lying on the floor – in a thousand pieces! It was not a real fish.
lie down	laɪ daʊn	лечь	‘Whatever do you want your trousers for? It’s the middle of the night!’ he cried. ‘Why don’t you lie down and go to sleep?’

There were no roses round the door.’
like that	ˈlaɪk ðæt	такой	I do not really blame Montmorency (usually I just hit him, or throw stones at him), because dogs are like that.

look round	lʊk ˈraʊnd	осмотреться; оглядеться	I looked round, and saw the boots. Why did Harris wait until I had closed the suitcase? George and I looked round. Then we looked at each other. Harris had gone – disappeared! ‘I hope so,’ George said. He stood up carefully and looked round.

Sometimes just one blow made the sickness disappear and made me want to start work immediately… We sat down at the table, and for half an hour we managed to play with some steak and chips – and with a large cake that Mrs Poppets had made. George, you get a pencil, and I’ll make the list.’ I have never seen a man’s face change so quickly. I tried to make him see that it was very funny, but he did not agree with me.

manage	ˈmænɪdʒ	ухитриться; справляться с	But they could not get the butter out again. However, in the end they did manage to get it out and they put it down on a chair.

It’s yours!’ We had left the boat near a swan’s nest, and, soon after George and I had left, Mrs Swan came back. She started to shout at Harris. However, Harris managed to chase her away, and she went to fetch her husband.
map	mæp	карта	Harris took out his map again, but this made the crowd angry. They told him what to do with his map.

matter	ˈmætə	иметь значение; неприятность, причина; повод	George always thinks he is ill, but really, there is never anything the matter with him, you know. ‘Oh, well, it doesn’t matter – two beds, then.

maze	meɪz	лабиринт	When we came to Hampton Court Palace, Harris asked me if I had ever been in the maze there. After ten minutes they found themselves in the centre of the maze. Harris said that it was a fine maze, and we agreed that we would try to get George into it on the way back.
meal	mi:l	еда; кушанье	We had an excellent meal, and Harris calmed down and began to enjoy himself again. It was a very good meal. It was different from other meals. ‘You’re always asleep. Have you ever seen Harris awake, except at meal times?’ George asked me.

mostly	ˈməʊstli	по большей части	Supper is mostly rainwater – rainwater bread, rainwater soup.
mother	ˈmʌðə	мать	She added calmly, ‘The next time that you are going to put a picture on the wall, please tell me. Then I can arrange to go and spend a week with my mother.’ ‘No, I don’t,’ the boy answered, but he added that his mother would give us a room.

move	mu:v	двигать, передвигать, двигаться, передвигаться	Then, five minutes later, he appeared again in the same place. He asked them why they had moved.

Our boat was the first one in the lock, so I must look nice for the man’s photograph.
must be	mʌst bi	должно быть	Harris continued to turn to the right, but it seemed to be a long way. At last, Harris’s friend said to him, ‘This must be a very big maze.’ ‘Yes, it must be,’ his friend continued, ‘because we’ve walked about three kilometres already.’

necessary	ˈnesəsəri	необходимо	However, we thought that it was all necessary for the job. At first we thought it was necessary to do this to cook the eggs.

On that holiday, the weather reports in the newspaper were always wrong.
next	nekst	затем; далее; следующий	The next question was where to sleep at night. Next we came to Halliford and Shepperton. There is an old church at Shepperton, and I was worried in case Harris wanted to go and visit it. We asked Harris about it the next morning, but he said, ‘What swans?’

on the way back	ɒn ðə ˈweɪ ˈbæk	на обратном пути	Harris said that it was a fine maze, and we agreed that we would try to get George into it on the way back. On Monday morning, we got up quite early and we went to swim before breakfast. On the way back, Montmorency behaved very stupidly.

peaceful	ˈpi:sfəl	спокойный; безмятежный	We could go somewhere peaceful, far away from other people. At the end of the day, night comes and the world is peaceful and calm. The peaceful sound of the water against the boat sends us to sleep – and we dream.
pence	pens	пенсы	We played for about an hour and a half, and George won ten pence. Harris and I lost five pence each.
pencil	ˈpensl̩	карандаш	George, you get a pencil, and I’ll make the list. He could get the pencil and the paper.
people	ˈpi:pl̩	люди	No help comes, and all you know is that thousands of people are kicking you, and you cannot breathe. Sometimes people forget that they are towing a boat, and later, George told us a story about this… There were no other people on the river, except for three old men. They were sitting in a boat, and they were fishing.
perhaps	pəˈhæps	может быть; возможно	I agree with George, and I said that perhaps we could go to the country. After some time, Harris and I began to think that Bell Weir lock had disappeared. ‘Perhaps someone has taken it away,’ we said. In fact, he thinks that perhaps I should have more work.
person	ˈpɜ:sn̩	человек	In a boat, I have noticed that each person thinks that he is doing all the work. The person who hired one of these boats is the kind of person who likes to stay under the trees.
photograph	ˈfəʊtəɡrɑ:f	фотография	Our boat was the first one in the lock, so I must look nice for the man’s photograph. You, in the red and black caps! If you don’t do something quickly, there’ll be two dead bodies in that photograph!’ In fact, out feet nearly filled the photograph. You could not see much else.
photographer	fəˈtɒɡrəfə	фотограф	Someone was taking a photograph of us all, and the photographer was hoping to sell the picture to the people in the lock. Then I saw the photographer and at once I understood. They said they did not want photographs of our feet. The photographer was not very pleased…
piano	pɪˈænəʊ	рояль; фортепьяно	Then Uncle Podger tried again himself. This time he fell off the chair on to the piano. His head and his body hit the piano at the same time.

Then I can arrange to go and spend a week with my mother.’ We love tinned fruit, all three of us. We looked at the picture on the tin.
piece	pi:s	часть; кусок	While we were eating, George got the newspaper and read us interesting pieces from it – pieces about people who had been killed on the river, and interesting reports about the weather. We took the pieces of metal, and we began to drop them into the holes. Then from Cleeve there is quite a long piece of the river which has no locks.
pink	pɪŋk	розовый	They wear brightly coloured clothes, and the river is full of colour – yellow, and blue, and orange, and green, and white, and red and pink.
pipe	paɪp	трубка	Then we fill our pipes and we sit and talk quietly. He said he was going to have a glass of whisky, smoke his pipe, and then get the boat ready for the night. Then we laugh quietly, put away our pipes, say ‘Goodnight’ and go to bed.
place	ˈpleɪs	место	You find a place on the river bank which is not as wet as other places. Then, five minutes later, he appeared again in the same place. He stopped, at a place where we could not get into the boat, and then immediately he fell asleep.
plan	plæn	план; планировать	He thought, at first, that it was the end of the world. Harris still believes that George and I planned it. At about four o’clock we began to discuss our plans for that evening.
plate	pleɪt	тарелка	I looked at all the plates and cups, and bottles, and tomatoes, and cakes, etc. After breakfast I was sitting by the river, and thinking, when George said, ‘Perhaps, when you’ve rested enough, you could help to wash the plates and things.’ Harris was preparing the food, and George and I were waiting with our plates.
play	pleɪ	играть; переливаться; плескаться	Sometimes we stop for a moment or two and we listen to the water as it plays gently against the boat. We played cards after supper. We played for about an hour and a half, and George won ten pence.
play about	pleɪ əˈbaʊt	забавляться	I don’t like looking at the trees and the flowers, and when I’m asleep you’ll play about with the boat and I’ll fall over the side! The other man does not help you. He starts to play about. Anyway, I don’t believe he’s at the bank. He’s playing about somewhere, that’s what he’s doing.
play around	pleɪ əˈraʊnd	валять дурака; забавляться	Why does George have to play around all day? Why has he left us with this big, heavy boat to tow up and down the river?
please	pli:z	пожалуйста	She added calmly, ‘The next time that you are going to put a picture on the wall, please tell me. The Cat: Do please tell me if there is something you want, won’t you? He hoped that nobody would notice him. Now, if you say ‘Cats!’ to Montmorency, he looks up at you, and his eyes beg you, ‘No, please!’
pleased	pli:zd	довольный	The music was beautiful, but Uncle Podger’s words were not! Aunt Maria was not pleased. Then from Cleeve there is quite a long piece of the river which has no locks. Most people are pleased about this because it makes everything much easier, but I quite like locks, myself. They said they did not want photographs of our feet. The photographer was not very pleased…
podge	ˈpɑ:dʒ	толстяк-коротышка	That’s Harris – he tells everybody what to do, and they do all the work, I remember that my Uncle Podger was like Harris…

police station	pəˈli:s ˈsteɪʃn̩	полицейский участок	He would arrest us and take us to a police station, and then we would have somewhere to sleep.
policeman (policemen)	pəˈli:smən (pəˈli:smən)	полицейский (полицейские)	He started to hide in dark corners whenever he saw a policeman. He met policemen who looked at him strangely. We could not fight policemen all night.

possible	ˈpɒsəbl̩	возможно	I wanted to put on my shirt as quickly as possible.
potato	pəˈteɪtəʊ	картошка	Harris and I started to prepare the potatoes. We worked very hard for twenty-five minutes. At the end of that time we had done four potatoes. The potatoes were a bit hard, but we had good teeth, so it did not really matter.
prefer	prɪˈfɜ:	предпочитать	Montmorency was very pleased about this. He does not like peace and quiet. He prefers noise.
prepare	prɪˈpeə	готовить; приготовить	George could not refuse, really, but he did say, ‘Perhaps it would be better if I stayed in the boat and prepared the meal. You two can tow the boat.’ And then we started to prepare supper. So he stopped trying to prepare breakfast, and he put on his coat.
present	prezent	текущий; настоящий	On our present trip, though, nothing exciting happened.
pretend	prɪˈtend	делать вид; притворяться	Harris was going to pretend that he wanted to be in the centre, but the crowd looked dangerous. He sits behind a bit of glass all day, and he pretends to do something. It rained all day, and, at first, we pretended we were enjoying it.

pretty	ˈprɪti	красивый; прелестный; приятный; замечательный; приятно; прелестно	It is very pretty there, on the grass by the river, under the trees. Then we started to move up the river again, past Old Windsor, which is very pretty. However, after that it becomes very beautiful.

prevent	prɪˈvent	предотвращать	Harris said that a little food helped to prevent illness.
price	praɪs	цена	The woman who washed them at Streatley made us pay three times the usual price.
probably	ˈprɒbəbli	должно быть; наверное; надо полагать	Of course, they probably had a boat on the end of the rope when they started out. In fact, he was probably going to say something angry to George and his friends. We thought it would probably take about ten minutes.
problem	ˈprɒbləm	проблема	One day I had a little health problem, and I went to the British Museum Library to read about it. Of course, nobody understood that the problem was my heart. Doctors were not so clever then. They just thought that I was lazy!

pub	pʌb	паб; бар; кабачок	I told him that there were no pubs nearby, and then he started shouting about the river. We had lunch at a little pub, and Montmorency enjoyed that. After that we could walk about the village in the rain, or we could sit in a dark little pub.
pull	pʊl	вытащить; натянуть; тянуть; усилие, дерганье, рывок	Just then he pulls the tent from his side, and he destroys all your hard work. ‘Ah! The stupid fool!’ you hear him say to himself. And then, suddenly, he gives a violent pull – and your side comes out, too. The pieces of metal were half circles, and when you had put them into the holes, you just had to pull the cover over them. Harris said the swans had tried to pull him and Montmorency from the boat and drown them.
pull back	pʊl ˈbæk	отодвигать назад	Then Harris, who was sitting next to the window, pulled back the curtain and looked out into the street.
pull off	pʊl ɒf	стаскивать	We decided to wake George. We ran across the room, and we pulled the bedclothes off him. Harris hit him with a shoe, and I shouted in his ear. He woke up.
pull out	pʊl aʊt	вытащить	I had pulled him out of a hundred and fourteen street fights… You pull your side of the tent hard – and pull out all the ropes on his side. We pulled out the maps and we discussed plans.

punish	ˈpʌnɪʃ	наказать	Even his teacher thought he had done well and did not punish him.
push	pʊʃ]	толкать; толкаться	The cat likes this. It puts its tail up and it pushes itself against my legs. And there is love and peace. And I can remember that once he pushed me over onto my side. ‘Wherever can that umbrella be?’ he was saying. The water was rising, and our boat was beginning to turn over. Quickly, we pushed hard against the side of the lock, to move the boat.
push off	pʊʃ ɒf	отталкивать; выталкивать	So the boat runs aground in shallow water near the river bank. You jump up, and you push the boat off into deep water.

put (put; put) on	ˈpʊt (ˈpʊt; ˈpʊt) ɒn	надевать; поставить	We were looking forward to having something to eat then, but George said, ‘No! It’s better to put the cover on the boat first, before it gets too dark. Finally, he put on his coat again, and he went out for a walk. He felt very lonely and miserable. I did not see the photographer at first, but suddenly George started to brush his trousers, and he fixed his hair and put on his hat.
put (put; put) out	ˈpʊt (ˈpʊt; ˈpʊt) aʊt	выгонять; выложить	On Saturday they wake him up and put him out onto the street at two o’clock.) So George was going to meet us at Chertsey. We put everything out on the grass by the river, and we shook everything. There was no tin-opener!

quarter	ˈkwɔ:tə	четверть часа	These people said that they had been there for three quarters of an hour. We passed Shiplake at a quarter to twelve, and then George said, quite slowly, ‘You don’t remember which island it was, do you?’
quarter past eight	ˈkwɔ:tə pɑ:st eɪt	8:15; четверть после восьми	One evening his watch stopped at a quarter past eight. He did not realize this then. When George woke up, he looked at his watch. It was quarter past eight.

question	ˈkwestʃən	вопрос	The next question was where to sleep at night. There we discussed the important question of where to spend the night. Then George turned to the man and said, ‘Excuse me, I hope you don’t mind, but my friend and I, who are only on holiday here, would like to ask you a question. Could you tell us how you caught that fish?’
quick	kwɪk	быстрый	I could not turn round to see whose nose it was, but I had a quick look at George’s nose.
quickly	ˈkwɪkli	быстро	I saw him looking towards it as we came near, but I moved the boat quickly, and Harris’s cap fell into the water.

quiet	ˈkwaɪət	спокойный; мирный; тихий; тишина; спокойствие	Montmorency was very pleased about this. He does not like peace and quiet. It’s better to let Harris go on shouting when he gets angry. Then he gets tired, and he is quiet afterwards. He added that it seemed to be nice and quiet there, and he said that he would like to die there.
quietly	ˈkwaɪətli	мирно; спокойно; тихо; молча	Then we fill our pipes and we sit and talk quietly. ‘Well, I think you should go back there quietly,’ the policeman continued. Twenty minutes later, three figures and an ashamed dog quietly left the nearest boathouse, and went towards the station.
quite	kwaɪt	действительно; весьма; в самом деле; очень	We could see that the cover was moving about quite violently. Montmorency is quite a brave dog, but there was something in the way the cat looked at him. George said he was quite a young man, so it was very sad.

Then we sat down to have supper. Finally, we were ready and Harris said, ‘We need a good breakfast inside us today.’
real	rɪəl	настоящий; подлинный, реальный	We could hear the happy sounds of our knives and our laughing voices. We hurried to make it real. He was very amused and we all laughed about it.

realize	ˈrɪəlaɪz	осознать; понять	It is a most extraordinary thing, but every time I read about an illness, I realize that I have it too – and that my symptoms are very bad!

really	ˈrɪəli	действительно; на самом деле	We really wanted that supper. We needed that supper. And for thirty-five minutes nobody on the boat spoke.

red	red	красный; пунцовый; рыжий	They wear brightly coloured clothes, and the river is full of colour – yellow, and blue, and orange, and green, and white, and red and pink. Harris said it would be all right. We would not look at the man with red hair and ugly boots. And then, to our horror, we saw Harris’s head – and only his head – in the grass. The face was very red and very angry.
refuse	rɪˈfju:z	отказать; отказываться	At Hampton Harris wanted to get out and have a look at the church there, but I refused to stop. At the end of that time we had done four potatoes. We refused to continue. When we passed the cold meat to Montmorency, he refused our offer.

remind	rɪˈmaɪnd	напомнить	I reminded him about George. I said, ‘We’ve got to get the boat up to Shepperton by five o’clock to meet him.’ I reminded him that we had water in the boat.
repeat	rɪˈpi:t	повторить	‘What time is it, please?’ he asked the policeman. ‘What’s the time?’ the policeman repeated. ‘Well, listen.’ ‘I’m very sorry, sir,’ the man repeated. ‘We haven’t got any beds. We’ve already got three men in one bed.’
reply	rɪˈplaɪ	отвечать; ответ	Our only reply was to give him the rope. Nobody spoke for a moment. Then George’s father said, ‘Joe!’ ‘What’s the matter, Tom?’ Joe replied, from the other end of the bed. We tried the fourth island, but there was still no reply.
report	rɪˈpɔ:t	метео сводка; отчет	While we were eating, George got the newspaper and read us interesting pieces from it – pieces about people who had been killed on the river, and interesting reports about the weather.

rest	rest	остальное; остаток; отдых; отдыхать; привал; покой	‘We need a rest,’ Harris said. ‘A rest and a change,’ George added. Perhaps George and I had better do the rest of the packing.

right	raɪt	верный; правильный; прав; правый	We began to think that we were right and that someone had moved the lock. After some time, we found the river, and that made us happy.

rise (rose, risen)	raɪz (rəʊz, ˈrɪzn̩)	взвиваться, усилиться, возвышаться, возникать, подниматься; прибывать	At first, we did not know what had happened. But then, from the words which rose on the evening air, we understood that we were near people. The water was rising, and our boat was beginning to turn over. Quickly, we pushed hard against the side of the lock, to move the boat.
river	ˈrɪvə	река	There were no other people on the river, except for three old men. We travelled along the river without any accidents. We had come to enjoy ourselves for a fortnight on the river, and we were going to finish the trip.
river bank	ˈrɪvə bæŋk	речной берег	You find a place on the river bank which is not as wet as other places. So the boat runs aground in shallow water near the river bank. We were on an island, so when we came back we would shout from the river bank.

room	ru:m	комната; номер	Anyway, they were going to sleep in the same room, but in different beds. She said she had a friend who had some rooms. She added that she would take us there. ‘No, I don’t,’ the boy answered, but he added that his mother would give us a room.
rope	rəʊp	веревка; трос; канат	At the same time, he was trying to steer the boat, and he pulled the wrong rope. Of course, they probably had a boat on the end of the rope when they started out. They usually begin by tying themselves up in the rope.
rose	rəʊz	роза	We passed a very pretty little hotel, but there were no roses round the door. Anyway, I said, ‘Oh, we don’t want to go there. Let’s look for a little hotel with roses round the door.’ We said, ‘Oh, we’ve been there, and we didn’t like it. There were no roses round the door.’
round	ˈraʊnd	вокруг; около; кругом	Uncle Podger tried again. Everybody stood round him. They were all ready to help. We said, ‘Oh, we’ve been there, and we didn’t like it. There were no roses round the door.’ Then the three of us sat round that tin on the grass, and we looked at it.

run (ran, run) out	rʌn (ræn, rʌn) aʊt	выбегать	The lock-keeper ran out because he thought someone had fallen in the water. George said that Mrs G. was a lazy old woman.

seasick	ˈsi:sɪk	страдающий морской болезнью	So I was against the sea trip – not for myself, you understand. I am never seasick. Harris said he was never seasick. It is very strange, but, when you are on land, you never meet anybody who has ever been seasick!
seat	si:t	сиденье	He climbed onto the seat and he bent down to get the bottle out of the basket.

After breakfast I was sitting by the river, and thinking, when George said, ‘Perhaps, when you’ve rested enough, you could help to wash the plates and things.’ When we passed the cold meat to Montmorency, he refused our offer.

She said she had a friend who had some rooms. She added that she would take us there. It’s easy, you see. You just keep taking the first turning to the right.’

take (took, taken) away	teɪk (tʊk, ˈteɪkən) əˈweɪ	забирать; убрать; уводить	After some time, Harris and I began to think that Bell Weir lock had disappeared. ‘Perhaps someone has taken it away,’ we said.

take (took, taken) care	teɪk (tʊk, ˈteɪkən) keə	заботиться; следить; беречь	And I am very careful with my work, too. Why, some of the work in my study has been there for years, and it had not got dirty of anything. That is because I take care of it. We had told the boatman a lie. We had asked him to take care of the boat for us until nine o’clock the next morning. And that was how grateful they were to me, after I had brought them and their old boat all the way up from Kingston; after I had organized everything of them; and after I had taken care of them!

I found George’s toothbrush. When we got to Datcher, we took out of the boat the basket of food, the two bags, and the coats and things.

terrible	ˈterəbl̩	жуткий; страшный; ужасный	I said that this was a terrible idea. She said that she did not want the children to listen to those terrible words. Half an hour later they returned – with eighteen more swans. There was another terrible battle.

therefore	ˈðeəfɔ:	поэтому; следовательно	We therefore decided that we would sleep out in tents on fine nights, and in hotels when it rained. We had decided to sleep on the boat. Therefore we could stay there, or we could go on past Staines.

wash	wɒʃ	мыть; стирать	We stayed at Streatley for two days, and we took our clothes to be washed. We had tried to wash them ourselves, in the river, and George had told us what to do. After breakfast I was sitting by the river, and thinking, when George said, ‘Perhaps, when you’ve rested enough, you could help to wash the plates and things.’

weather	ˈweðə	погода	It is difficult to put up a tent in good weather. In wet weather it is almost impossible. But weather reports make me angry anyway. They always tell you what the weather was like yesterday, or the day before. It is never today’s weather.
weather report	ˈweðə rɪˈpɔ:t	метеосводка; прогноз погоды	The weather report for that day said, ‘Rain, cold, wet to fine, some thunder, and an east wind.’ But weather reports make me angry anyway. On that holiday, the weather reports in the newspaper were always wrong.

which	wɪtʃ	который; каковой	So I went out on to the river bank, and I began to move carefully along the branch of a tree which was over the water.

while	waɪl	пока; в то время как	While we were eating, George got the newspaper and read us interesting pieces from it – pieces about people who had been killed on the river, and interesting reports about the weather.
whisky	ˈwɪski	виски	Then he added, ‘And we can take a bottle of whisky, too – for when we are sick, you know.’ He said he was going to have a glass of whisky, smoke his pipe, and then get the boat ready for the night. After that we had some whisky, and we sat and talked.

window	ˈwɪndəʊ	окно	We moved the table over to the window. Then we put everything in the middle of the floor. He left, and another man came in and sat down by the window. Nobody spoke for some time.

windy	ˈwindi	ветрено	It was a bit windy, and some had made a mistake because the wind was behind us.

work	ˈwɜ:k	работа, труд	‘Get up and do some work for once in your life!’ They did not understand that I was ill. You would not expect this to be dangerous work, but it was.
