Hullo-o-o (эй, /там/! конюх! добрый день; hullo – привет!; эй!; приветственный возглас, оклик; hostler – конюх /особ. на постоялом дворе/)!” “My dear! why don’t you look for the bell (мой дорогой, почему бы тебе не поискать звонок; dear – дорогой, милый; дорогая, милая; don’t = do not; to look – смотреть; to look for – искать; bell – колокол; колокольчик; звонок)?” “I have looked – there is no bell (я уже искал – звонка нет).” “And nobody in the yard (и никого во дворе)...

The Draft Опубликовано меньше минуты назад Мой друг жалуется с утра, пишет: - Секс - это все же что-то совершенно отдельное и неизученное в человеческой природе. Сразу же - не после соития даже, а обыкновенного траха - всякая девчонка и дрянь почему-то начинает по-свойски прижиматься к тебе и обращаться на "ты" 20 янв. 2021 г., 07:59 ХАРМСИНЫ: Константин Эдуардович Циолковский, как известно, считал, что на половую жизнь тратится умственная энергия и поэтому довольно рано отказался от нее. Но иногда природа брала свое и Константин Эдуардович ненадолго уединялся. Домашним же говорил, что идет изучать принципы реактивного движения...

A shoplifter (магазинный вор) was caught (был пойман) red-handed (на месте преступления: "красноруким, с красными руками") trying to steal a watch from an exclusive jewelry store (при попытке украсть наручные часы из эксклюзивного ювелирного магазина; exclusive [ɪksˈklu:sɪv]). "Listen (послушайте)," said the shoplifter, "I know you don't want any trouble either (я знаю, вы также /как и я/ не хотите никаких неприятностей).

CHAPTER ONE What Happened to Holly Golightly? I sometimes visit places where I lived in the past - the houses and their neighborhoods. I like to see them again. There's a brown stone house in the East Seventies where, during the early years of the war, I had my first New York apartment. It was one room, crowded with an old red sofa and red chairs. The walls were dark and dirty from old cigarette smoke. The single window looked out onto a fire escape, a stairway that went down to the street. It wasn't a big place but it made me happy. It was my first home, and my books were there, and a box of pencils...

Edgar Allan Poe CHAPTER ONE The Search for the Letter It was just after dark one windy evening in the autumn of 18 . I was with my friend C. Auguste Dupin, in the library of his Paris apartment. For one hour at least we had been sitting in profound silence. Dupin seemed content just to watch the smoke rising from his pipe. As for myself, I was thinking about the affair of the Rue Morgue.
