surrender [sq'rendq], signalize ['sIgnqlaIz], awful ['O:ful], towering ['tauqrIN]

Within but little more than an hour from the moment the victorious Zodangan squadron had risen to meet us from the camp of the besiegers the battle was over, and the remaining vessels of the conquered Zodangans were headed toward the cities of Helium under prize crews.

There was an extremely pathetic side to the surrender of these mighty fliers, the result of an age-old custom which demanded that surrender should be signalized by the voluntary plunging to earth of the commander of the vanquished vessel. One after another the brave fellows, holding their colors high above their heads, leaped from the towering bows of their mighty craft to an awful death.

Not until the commander of the entire fleet took the fearful plunge (и только когда командующий всем флотом совершил ужасающий прыжок), thus indicating the surrender of the remaining vessels (обозначив этим сдачу оставшихся судов), did the fighting cease (сражение прекратилось), and the useless sacrifice of brave men come to an end (и пришла к концу бесполезная трата жизней храбрецов; sacrifice — жертва; жертвоприношение).

We now signaled the flagship of Helium's navy to approach (тогда мы дали сигнал флагманскому кораблю Гелиума приблизиться), and when she was within hailing distance (и когда он был в пределах слышимости; hail — оклик; within hailing distance — в пределах слышимости) I called out that we had the Princess Dejah Thoris on board (я крикнул, что у нас на борту принцесса Дежа Торис), and that we wished to transfer her to the flagship (и что мы хотим пересадить ее на флагманский корабль; to transfer — перемещать) that she might be taken immediately to the city (чтобы ее могли немедленно доставить в город).

Not until the commander of the entire fleet took the fearful plunge, thus indicating the surrender of the remaining vessels, did the fighting cease, and the useless sacrifice of brave men come to an end.

We now signaled the flagship of Helium's navy to approach, and when she was within hailing distance I called out that we had the Princess Dejah Thoris on board, and that we wished to transfer her to the flagship that she might be taken immediately to the city.

As the full import of my announcement bore in upon them (когда до них дошел весь смысл моего сообщения; import — значение, смысл; to bear in — становиться ясным, понятным) a great cry arose from the decks of the flagship (продолжительный крик донесся с палуб флагманского корабля), and a moment later the colors of the Princess of Helium broke from a hundred points upon her upper works (и через мгновение цвета принцессы Гелиума появились в сотне мест на его верхней части; upper works — надводная часть судна; верхняя часть конструкции). When the other vessels of the squadron (когда другие суда эскадры) caught the meaning of the signals flashed them (поняли значение передаваемых им сигналов; to flash — сигнализировать) they took up the wild acclaim and unfurled her colors in the gleaming sunlight (они подхватили бурные крики ликования и развернули ее цвета в ярких лучах солнца; acclaim — радостное восклицание).

arose [q'rouz], acclaim [q'kleIm], unfurl [An'fWl]

As the full import of my announcement bore in upon them a great cry arose from the decks of the flagship, and a moment later the colors of the Princess of Helium broke from a hundred points upon her upper works. When the other vessels of the squadron caught the meaning of the signals flashed them they took up the wild acclaim and unfurled her colors in the gleaming sunlight.

The flagship bore down upon us (флагманский корабль спустился к нам), and as she swung gracefully to us and touched our side (и когда он грациозно развернулся к нам и прикоснулся к нашему борту; to swing — поворачивать) a dozen officers sprang upon our decks (дюжина офицеров прыгнули к нам на палубу). As their astonished gaze fell upon the hundreds of green warriors (когда их изумленный взгляд обратился на сотни зеленых воинов), who now came forth from the fighting shelters (которые теперь вышли вперед из-за боевых укрытий), they stopped aghast (они в ужасе остановились; aghast — ошеломленный, объятый страхом), but at sight of Kantos Kan, who advanced to meet them (но при виде Кантоса Кана, который направлялся им навстречу), they came forward, crowding about him (они вышли вперед и обступили его).

Dejah Thoris and I then advanced (после этого подошли Дежа Торис и я = мы с Дежой Торис), and they had no eyes for other than her (и они уже никого не видели, кроме нее). She received them gracefully (она приняла их любезно), calling each by name (называя каждого по имени), for they were men high in the esteem and service of her grandfather (так как это были люди глубоко почитаемые и занимающие высокое положение на службе у ее дедушки; esteem — уважение, почтение), and she knew them well (и она хорошо их знала).

"Lay your hands upon the shoulder of John Carter," she said to them, turning toward me (положите ваши руки на плечо Джону Картеру, — сказала она им, поворачиваясь ко мне), "the man to whom Helium owes her princess as well as her victory today (человеку, которому Гелиум обязан своей принцессой, равно как своей сегодняшней победой)."

They were very courteous to me (они были очень учтивы со мной; courteous — вежливый, учтивый) and said many kind and complimentary things (и наговорили мне много любезностей), but what seemed to impress them most (но то, что, казалось, поразило их больше всего) was that I had won the aid of the fierce Tharks in my campaign for the liberation of Dejah Thoris (было то, что я заручился помощью жестоких тарков в моей кампании за освобождение Дежи Торис), and the relief of Helium (и снятия осады с Гелиума; relief — снятие осады).

"Lay your hands upon the shoulder of John Carter," she said to them, turning toward me, "the man to whom Helium owes her princess as well as her victory today."

"You owe your thanks more to another man than to me," I said (вы больше должны благодарить другого человека, чем меня), "and here he is; meet one of Barsoom's greatest soldiers and statesmen (вот он — познакомьтесь с одним из величайших солдат и государственных деятелей Барсума), Tars Tarkas, Jeddak of Thark."

With the same polished courtesy that had marked their manner toward me (с той же безукоризненной вежливостью, которая отличала их манеру по отношению ко мне) they extended their greetings to the great Thark (они распространили свои приветствия на великого тарка), nor, to my surprise, was he much behind them (и, к моему удивлению, он не намного уступал им) in ease of bearing or in courtly speech (в непринужденности манер или изысканности речи; courtly — вежливый, изысканный). Though not a garrulous race (хотя /они/ и не болтливая раса; garrulous — болтливый, словоохотливый), the Tharks are extremely formal (но придают огромное значение этикету: «чрезвычайно официальны»; formal — формальный, выполненный в соответствии с этикетом), and their ways lend themselves amazingly well to dignified and courtly manners (и их обычаи чрезвычайно хорошо подходят для /полной/ достоинства и изысканной манеры поведения; to lend oneself to smth. — приспосабливаться, прилаживаться, применяться; быть пригодным, подходить к чему-либо; to lend — одалживать, давать взаймы).

Though not a garrulous race, the Tharks are extremely formal, and their ways lend themselves amazingly well to dignified and courtly manners.

Dejah Thoris went aboard the flagship (взошла на борт флагманского корабля), and was much put out that I would not follow (и была очень огорчена, что я не захотел последовать за ней; to put out — выбивать из колеи, выводить из равновесия), but, as I explained to her, the battle was but partly won (но, как я объяснил ей, битва была выиграна лишь частично); we still had the land forces of the besieging Zodangans to account for (нам еще следовало позаботиться о сухопутных силах осаждающих /город/ зодангианцев), and I would not leave Tars Tarkas until that had been accomplished (и я не оставлю Тарса Таркаса, пока это не будет осуществлено; accomplished — законченный, выполненный).

The commander of the naval forces of Helium (командующий морских сил Гелиума) promised to arrange to have the armies of Helium attack from the city in conjunction with our land attack (обещал организовать /все так, чтобы/ армии Гелиума атаковали из города одновременно с нашей сухопутной атакой; conjunction — соединение, связь; in conjunction — вместе, сообща), and so the vessels separated (таким образом, наши суда разделились) and Dejah Thoris was borne in triumph back to the court of her grandfather (и Дежа Торис была с триумфом доставлена назад ко двору своего дедушки), Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium.

In the distance lay our fleet of transports, with the thoats of the green warriors (на некотором расстоянии находился наш грузовой флот с тотами зеленых воинов), where they had remained during the battle (где они оставались во время битвы). Without landing stages it was to be a difficult matter to unload these beasts upon the open plain (без плавучих причалов задача выгрузки эти животных на открытую равнину была трудной = нам предстояла трудная задача; landing stage — пристань, плавучий причал), but there was nothing else for it (но ничего другого не оставалось), and so we put out for a point about ten miles from the city and began the task (и поэтому мы отправились в /другое/ место милях в десяти от города и приступили к этой задаче; to put out — отправляться).

Without landing stages it was to be a difficult matter to unload these beasts upon the open plain, but there was nothing else for it, and so we put out for a point about ten miles from the city and began the task.

It was necessary to lower the animals to the ground in slings (было необходимо спустить животных на канатах; sling — канат для подъема груза) and this work occupied the remainder of the day and half the night (и эта работа заняла остаток дня и половину ночи). Twice we were attacked by parties of Zodangan cavalry (дважды мы были атакованы отрядами зодангианской кавалерии), but with little loss, however (но с незначительными потерями, однако), and after darkness shut down they withdrew (а после наступления темноты они отступили).

As soon as the last thoat was unloaded (как только был выгружен последний тот) Tars Tarkas gave the command to advance (дал команду наступать), and in three parties we crept upon the Zodangan camp from the north, the south and the east (и тремя отрядами мы /стали/ подбираться к лагерю зодангианцев с севера, юга и востока).

As soon as the last thoat was unloaded Tars Tarkas gave the command to advance, and in three parties we crept upon the Zodangan camp from the north, the south and the east.

About a mile from the main camp we encountered their outposts (примерно в миле от основного лагеря мы наткнулись на их сторожевые отряды; outpost — аванпост; сторожевое охранение) and, as had been prearranged (и, как было заранее запланировано; to prearrange — заранее подготавливать, планировать) accepted this as the signal to charge (приняли это как сигнал атаковать). With wild, ferocious cries and amidst the nasty squealing of battle-enraged thoats (с дикими, ужасающими криками и среди мерзкого визга разъяренных битвой тотов) we bore down upon the Zodangans (мы ринулись на зодангианцев).

We did not catch them napping (мы не застали их врасплох; to nap — дремать; to catch napping — застать врасплох), but found a well-entrenched battle line confronting us (и наткнулись на хорошо укрепленную линию фронта; entrenched — укрепленный траншеями; trench — ров, канава; траншея; to confront — столкнуться). Time after time we were repulsed until, toward noon (раз за разом нас отбрасывали назад, пока к полудню), I began to fear for the result of the battle (я не начал опасаться за исход сражения).

We did not catch them napping, but found a well-entrenched battle line confronting us. Time after time we were repulsed until, toward noon, I began to fear for the result of the battle.

The Zodangans numbered nearly a million fighting men (численность зодангианцев доходила до миллиона воинов), gathered from pole to pole (собранных от полюса до полюса), wherever stretched their ribbon-like waterways (отовсюду, куда достигали их похожие на ленты каналы), while pitted against them were less than a hundred thousand green warriors (при этом им противостояло менее ста тысяч зеленых воинов; to pit against — противостоять /в битве/). The forces from Helium had not arrived (войска Гелиума еще не прибыли), nor could we receive any word from them (и мы не могли получить от них никаких сообщений).

Just at noon we heard heavy firing all along the line between the Zodangans and the cities (ровно в полдень мы услышали интенсивную стрельбу по всей линии между зодангианцами и городами), and we knew then that our much-needed reinforcements had come (и мы поняли, что пришло столь необходимое нам подкрепление).

Just at noon we heard heavy firing all along the line between the Zodangans and the cities, and we knew then that our much-needed reinforcements had come.

Again Tars Tarkas ordered the charge (снова Тарс Таркас отдал приказ наступать), and once more the mighty thoats bore their terrible riders against the ramparts of the enemy (и снова могучие тоты понесли своих ужасных всадников на вражеские бастионы; ramparts — опорный пункт,бастион). At the same moment the battle line of Helium surged over the opposite breastworks of the Zodangans (в то же мгновение боевой строй гелиумцев ринулся на брустверы зодангианцев с противоположной стороны) and in another moment they were being crushed as between two millstones (и еще через мгновение они были раздавлены, как между двумя жерновами). Nobly they fought, but in vain (доблестно они сражались, но тщетно; nobly — благородно; самоотверженно).

The plain before the city became a veritable shambles ere the last Zodangan surrendered (равнина перед городом превратилась в настоящую бойню, пока не сдался последний зодангианец), but finally the carnage ceased (но, наконец, резня прекратилась; carnage — резня, кровавая бойня), the prisoners were marched back to Helium (пленных отвели назад в Гелиум), and we entered the greater city's gates (и мы вошли в главный город через ворота), a huge triumphal procession of conquering heroes (огромной триумфальной процессией победивших героев; to conquer — завоевывать, покорять; побеждать).

The plain before the city became a veritable shambles ere the last Zodangan surrendered, but finally the carnage ceased, the prisoners were marched back to Helium, and we entered the greater city's gates, a huge triumphal procession of conquering heroes.

The broad avenues were lined with women and children (вдоль широких улиц стояли женщины и дети), among which the few men were (среди которых было несколько мужчин) whose duties necessitated that they remain within the city during the battle (обязанности которых вынуждали их оставаться внутри города во время битвы). We were greeted with an endless round of applause (нас встречали нескончаемыми взрывами аплодисментов; round — ряд, цикл; round of applause — взрыв аплодисментов) and showered with ornaments of gold, platinum, silver, and precious jewels (и осыпали украшениями из золота, платины, серебра и драгоценных камней). The city had gone mad with joy (город обезумел от радости).

My fierce Tharks caused the wildest excitement and enthusiasm (мои свирепые тарки вызвали чрезвычайное возбуждение и бурный восторг; excitement — возбуждение, волнение; enthusiasm — энтузиазм; бурный восторг). Never before had an armed body of green warriors entered the gates of Helium (никогда раньше вооруженный отряд зеленых воинов не входил в ворота Гелиума), and that they came now as friends and allies (и то, что они пришли сейчас как друзья и союзники), filled the red men with rejoicing (наполняло красных людей радостью; rejoicing — веселье, радость; to rejoice — ликовать, торжествовать; бурно радоваться).

That my poor services to Dejah Thoris had become known to the Heliumites (о том, что мои скромные услуги Деже Торис стали уже известны гелиумцам), was evidenced by the loud crying of my name (свидетельствовали громкие выкрикивания моего имени), and by the loads of ornaments that were fastened upon me and my huge thoat (и груды украшений, которые надевали на меня и на моего огромного тота; to fasten — привязывать, крепить) as we passed up the avenues to the palace (пока мы проходили по улицам ко дворцу), for even in the face of the ferocious appearance of Woola (так как, даже несмотря на свирепый вид Вулы; in the face of — несмотря на, вопреки) the populace pressed close about me (толпа обступала меня со всех сторон; populace — простой народ; толпа).

As we approached this magnificent pile (когда мы подошли к этому великолепному зданию; pile — куча, груда; огромное здание) we were met by a party of officers (нас встретила группа офицеров) who greeted us warmly (которые тепло поприветствовали нас) and requested that Tars Tarkas and his jeds with the jeddaks and jeds of his wild allies, together with myself (и попросили, чтобы Тарс Таркас и джеды его диких союзников, вместе со мной), dismount and accompany them to receive from Tardos Mors an expression of his gratitude for our services (спешились и пошли вместе с ними во дворец, /чтобы/ принять от Тардоса Мора изъявления его благодарности за наши услуги).

That my poor services to Dejah Thoris had become known to the Heliumites was evidenced by the loud crying of my name, and by the loads of ornaments that were fastened upon me and my huge thoat as we passed up the avenues to the palace, for even in the face of the ferocious appearance of Woola the populace pressed close about me.

At the top of the great steps leading up to the main portals of the palace (наверху больших ступеней, ведущих к главному входу во дворец) stood the royal party (стояла группа приближенных короля: «королевская группа»), and as we reached the lower steps (и когда мы подошли к нижним ступеням) one of their number descended to meet us (один из их числа спустился, чтобы встретить нас).

He was an almost perfect specimen of manhood (он был почти совершенным образцом мужественности); tall, straight as an arrow, superbly muscled (высокий, прямой, как стрела, с великолепно развитой мускулатурой) and with the carriage and bearing of a ruler of men (и с осанкой и манерой поведения повелителя людей). I did not need to be told that he was (не было нужды говорить мне, что он был) Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium.

He was an almost perfect specimen of manhood; tall, straight as an arrow, superbly muscled and with the carriage and bearing of a ruler of men. I did not need to be told that he was Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium.

The first member of our party he met was Tars Tarkas (первым членом нашей группы, которого он встретил, был Тарс Таркас) and his first words sealed forever the new friendship between the races (и его первые слова навеки закрепили новую дружбу между расами).

"That Tardos Mors," he said, earnestly (то, что Тардос Морс, — сказал он серьезно), "may meet the greatest living warrior of Barsoom is a priceless honor (может встретиться с величайшим из живущих воинов Барсума, является неоценимой честью), but that he may lay his hand on the shoulder of a friend and ally (но то, что он может положить руку на плечо друга и союзника; ally — союзник, помощник) is a far greater boon (это гораздо большее благо; boon — благо, благодеяние) ."

"Jeddak of Helium," returned Tars Tarkas (джеддак Гелиума, — ответил Тарс Таркас), "it has remained for a man of another world to teach the green warriors of Barsoom the meaning of friendship (человеку из другого мира было дано: «осталось» научить зеленых воинов Барсума тому, что такое дружба; meaning — смысл); to him we owe the fact that the hordes of Thark can understand you (ему мы обязаны тем фактом, что орды тарков могут понимать тебя); that they can appreciate and reciprocate the sentiments so graciously expressed (что они могут оценить чувства, выраженные с такой любезностью, и ответить тем же; gracious — милостивый; любезный; to reciprocate — отвечать взаимностью)."

priceless ['praIslIs], gracious ['greISqs], reciprocate [rI'sIprqkeIt]

The first member of our party he met was Tars Tarkas and his first words sealed forever the new friendship between the races.

"That Tardos Mors," he said, earnestly, "may meet the greatest living warrior of Barsoom is a priceless honor, but that he may lay his hand on the shoulder of a friend and ally is a far greater boon."

"Jeddak of Helium," returned Tars Tarkas, "it has remained for a man of another world to teach the green warriors of Barsoom the meaning of friendship; to him we owe the fact that the hordes of Thark can understand you; that they can appreciate and reciprocate the sentiments so graciously expressed."

Tardos Mors then greeted each of the green jeddaks and jeds (затем Тардос Морс поздоровался с каждым из зеленых джеддаков и джедов), and to each spoke words of friendship and appreciation (и каждому сказал несколько слов, /выражающих/ дружбу и признательность; appreciation — высокая оценка, признательность).

As he approached me he laid both hands upon my shoulders (когда он приблизился ко мне, он положил обе руки мне на плечи).

"Welcome, my son," he said (добро пожаловать, сын мой, — сказал он); "that you are granted, gladly, and without one word of opposition (то, что тебе дарована с радостью и без единого слова возражения), the most precious jewel in all Helium, yes, on all Barsoom (самая большая драгоценность во всем Гелиуме и, да, на всем Барсуме), is sufficient earnest of my esteem (является достаточным свидетельством моего уважения; earnest — задаток; залог)."

We were then presented to Mors Kajak, Jed of lesser Helium, and father of Dejah Thoris (после этого мы были представлены Морсу Каяку, джеду меньшего Гелиума и отцу Дежи Торис). He had followed close behind Tardos Mors (он шел сразу же следом за Тардосом Морсом) and seemed even more affected by the meeting than had his father (и казался еще более взволнованным встречей, чем его отец).

Tardos Mors then greeted each of the green jeddaks and jeds, and to each spoke words of friendship and appreciation.

As he approached me he laid both hands upon my shoulders.

"Welcome, my son," he said; "that you are granted, gladly, and without one word of opposition, the most precious jewel in all Helium, yes, on all Barsoom, is sufficient earnest of my esteem."

We were then presented to Mors Kajak, Jed of lesser Helium, and father of Dejah Thoris. He had followed close behind Tardos Mors and seemed even more affected by the meeting than had his father.

He tried a dozen times to express his gratitude to me (он множество раз пытался выразить свою благодарность мне; dozen — дюжина), but his voice choked with emotion (но его голос прерывался от эмоций; to choke — душить; давиться) and he could not speak (и он не мог говорить), and yet he had, as I was to later learn (и при этом у него была, как я узнал впоследствии), a reputation for ferocity and fearlessness as a fighter that was remarkable even upon warlike Barsoom (репутация такого жестокого и бесстрашного воина, которая была необычайной даже для воинственного Барсума; remarkable — замечательный, удивительный). In common with all Helium he worshiped his daughter (вместе со всем Гелиумом он боготворил свою дочь; to worship — поклоняться, почитать), nor could he think of what she had escaped without deep emotion (и он не мог думать о том, чего она избежала, без глубокого волнения; emotion — душевное волнение; deep emotion — глубокое переживание).
