Imagery in Translation
stood before my pistol, picking out the ripe cherries and spitting out the stones, which flew to where I was standing. His equanimity maddened me. 'What would be the use,' it occurred to me, 'to deprive him of life when he does not treasure it in the least?' A malicious thought flashed through my mind. I lowered my pistol.
'"You apparently have other things on your mind outside of death,' I said to him. 'It pleases you to be breaking your fast; I have no wish to interfere with you.'
'"You are not interfering with me in the least,' he retorted. 'You may shoot, if you like; however, please yourself; you may keep back the shot — I am always at your service.'
"I turned to the seconds, informing them that I had no intention of shooting just then, and with that the duel was over.
"I resigned from the army and withdrew to this little town. Since then not a day has passed without my thinking of revenge. Now my hour has come..."

Task for translation: Барышня-крестьянка
БАРЫШНЯ-КРЕСТЬЯНКА
В одной из отдаленных наших губерний находилось имение Ивана Петровича Берестова. В молодости своей служил он в гвардии, вышел в отставку в начале 1797 года, уехал в свою деревню и с тех пор оттуда не выезжал. Он был женат на бедной дворянке, которая умерла в родах, в то время как он находился в отъезжем поле. Хозяйственные упражнения скоро его утешили. Он выстроил дом по собственному плану, завел у себя суконную фабрику, утроил доходы и стал почитать себя умнейшим человеком во всем околотке, в чем не прекословили ему соседи, приезжавшие к нему гостить с своими семействами и собаками. В будни ходил он в плисовой куртке, по праздникам надевал сертук из сукна домашней работы; сам записывал расход и ничего не читал, кроме Сенатских Ведомостей. Вообще его любили, хотя и почитали гордым. Не ладил с ним один Григорий Иванович Муромский, ближайший его сосед. Это был настоящий русский барин. Промотав в Москве большую часть имения своего, и на ту пору овдовев, уехал он в последнюю свою деревню, где продолжал проказничать, но уже в новом роде. Развел он английский сад, на который тратил почти все остальные доходы. Конюхи его были одеты английскими жокеями. У дочери его была мадам англичанка. Поля свои обрабатывал он по английской методе,
