It was quite clear that he had accepted with alacrity. The thought of refusing
had never even occurred to him.
"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
the crowded street to walk.
"It's a wonderful chance (это удивительный шанс). Of course America's
expensive (конечно, Америка дорогая /страна/), but I ought to be able (но я

бы /мне/ не сэкономить) eight thousand dollars (восемь тысяч долларов) in the
forty weeks (за сорок недель) and that's sixteen hundred pounds (а это тысяча
шестьсот фунтов стерлингов: «шестнадцать сотен фунтов»)."
("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).")
"And if he takes me on (и если он возьмет меня дальше) for a second year (на
второй год) I'm to get three hundred (я буду получать три сотни /в неделю/).

"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
ты хочешь сказать, что) you'll be gone two years (ты уедешь на два года)?"
"Oh, I should come back (о, я вернусь) next summer of course (следующим
летом, конечно). They pay my fare back (они оплачивают мою дорогу обратно;
fare — плата за проезд, стоимость проезда, пищи, провизии) and I'd go and

чтобы не потратить денег)."
"I don't know (я не знаю) how I'm going to get on (как я буду жить дальше)
without you (без тебя)."
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
