I know you never even thought (я знаю, ты никогда даже не думал /to think-thought-thought/) about another woman (о другой женщине). But now that I’m going (но теперь, когда я ухожу), I want you to marry again (я хочу, чтобы ты женился снова) as soon as possible (как можно скорее) and I want you to give your new wife (чтобы ты отдал твоей новой жене) all my expensive clothes (всю мою дорогую одежду).

Bud, from Texas (из Техаса), is on holiday in Israel (в отпуске в Израиле) and meets farmer (встречает, знакомится с фермером) Shlomo there. Bud asks Shlomo what he does (спрашивает, чем тот занимается).

" I raise (развожу: to raise – поднимать; выращивать, разводить) a few chickens (немножко цыплят), " says Shlomo. " I'm also a farmer (я тоже фермер). "

" So am I (я тоже). How much land do you have? (сколько у тебя земли)" asks Bud.

" Fifty meters in front (пятьдесят метров с лицевой стороны), and almost a hundred at the back (и почти сотня сзади). "

Now it was the turn (теперь была очередь) of Shlomo to ask a question (спросить = задать вопрос).

" You’re from Texas, so what about your farm? (так что как насчет твоей фермы = что у тебя за ферма)" asks Shlomo.

Bud tells him (говорит, рассказывает ему), " On my farm, I can drive (на моей ферме, я могу ехать) from morning until sundown (с утра до заката) and not reach the end of my property (и не достичь конца моего владения). "

" That's too bad (плохо дело, не повезло: «это слишком плохо»), " says Shlomo. " I once had a car like that (у меня однажды, как-то /тоже/ была такая машина). "

A rabbi, a priest (священник) and a minister (пастор) are discussing (обсуждают) when life begins (когда начинается жизнь).

The priest says: " In our religion (в нашей религии), life begins at conception (при зачатии). "

The minister says: " We disagree (мы несогласны; I agree – я согласен). We believe that life begins (мы верим, что жизнь начинается) when the foetus is viable away from the mother's womb (плод жизнеспособен вне материнской утробы; foetus [`fi: t∂ s]). "

The rabbi responds (отвечает): " You both are wrong (вы оба неправы). In our religion, life begins when the kids graduate college (когда дети закончат колледж) and the dog dies (и сдохнет собака). "

Mrs. Herman from London was visiting (навещала) some friends in Florida when she saw (когда она увидела /to see-saw-seen/) a little old man rocking merrily away (весело покачивающегося) on his front porch (на своем переднем крыльце). He had a lovely smile (у него была приятная улыбка) on his face (на /его/ лице). She just had to go over to him (она просто должна была подойти = не могла не подойти к нему).
" I couldn’t help noticing (не могла не заметить) how happy you look (каким счастливым вы выглядите). I would love (очень хотела бы) to know your secret for a long and happy life (узнать ваш секрет /для/ долгой и счастливой жизни). "
" I smoke four packets of cigarettes a day (я выкуриваю четыре пачки сигарет в день), drink five bottles (выпиваю пять бутылок) of scotch whiskey a week (в неделю), eat lots and lots (ем очень и очень много: «множества и множества») of fatty food (жирной еды; fat – жир) and I never (никогда), I mean (имею в виду = вот уж действительно) never exercise (никогда не упражняюсь = не делаю зарядку, гимнастику). "
" Why, that’s absolutely amazing (совершенно поразительно). I’ve never heard anything like this before (я никогда не слышала ничего подобного: «такое как это раньше»). How old are you? (сколько вам лет)"
" I’m twenty six (26), " he replied.

" Excuse me, sir, what time is it? " The old man keeps silence (хранит молчание).

" Sir, I'm asking you what time is it. Why don't you answer?! (почему вы не отвечаете)"

The old man says: " Son (сынок), the next stop (следующая остановка) is the last on this route (последняя на этом маршруте).

Morris comes home to find his wife (приходит домом и застает: «чтобы найти» свою жену), Sadie, crying (плачущей). " I found out (узнала; /to find-found-found – найти/) from Mrs. Goldberg that you've been having an affair (что у тебя связь) with that chippy secretary (с той жалкой секретаршей; chippy – зазубренный /о ноже/, обломанный /о посуде/; /амер. жарг. / потаскушка) in your office.
Why would you do that to me? (почему ты так поступил со мной)
Haven't I always been the good wife? (разве я не была всегда хорошей женой) I've cooked for you (готовила для тебя), raised your children (растила твоих детей), and I've always been by your side (и всегда была рядом с тобой) for thirty-five years (в течение 35 лет). What haven't I done to make you happy? (чем ты недоволен: «что я не сделала, чтобы сделать тебя счастливым»)"

Embarrassed (смущенный), Morris confesses (признается), " It's true (это правда), Sadie, you've been the best wife a man could hope for (ты была лучшей женой, на которую мужчина мог бы надеяться). You make me happy in all ways (во всем: «всеми путями = способами») but one (кроме одного). You don't moan (не стонешь) when we have sex! "
" If I moaned when we had sex, you'd stop running around?! (перестал бы ходить на сторону: «бегать вокруг») All right (хорошо, ладно), come to the bedroom (пройди в спальню) so I can show you (чтобы я могла показать тебе) that I, too, can moan during sex! (что я тоже умею: «могу» стонать во время секса)"
So they retire (итак, они удаляются) to the bedroom, get undressed (раздеваются), and climb between the sheets (забираются в постель: «между простынями»).
As they begin to kiss (когда они начинают целоваться), Sadie asks (спрашивает), " Now, Morris, should I moan now? (ну, сейчас мне стонать: «должна я стонать сейчас»)"
" No, not yet (нет еще). "
Morris begins fondling (ласкать) Sadie.

" What about now? (а сейчас: «как насчет сейчас») Should I moan now? "

" No, I'll tell you when (я скажу тебе, когда). "
They begin to make love... (они начинают заниматься любовью)
" Is it time for me to moan (/уже/ время для меня стонать), Morris? "
" Wait (подожди), I'll tell you when. "
Moments later (несколько мгновений спустя), in the heat of passion (в пылу страсти), seconds before reaching climax (за несколько секунд до достижения оргазма; to reach – достигать), Morris yells (орет), " Now, Sadie, moan! MOAN! "
" OY! You wouldn't believe! (ты не поверишь) what a day I had (ну и денек у меня был сегодня: «какой я имела денек»; to moan – стонать; жаловаться)"

Morris comes home to find his wife, Sadie, crying. " I found out from Mrs. Goldberg that you've been having an affair with that chippy secretary in your office.

The rabbi and the priest met (рабби и священник встречались /to meet-met-met/) every Sunday at 2 PM in the park (каждое воскресенье в 2 часа после полудня в парке) to talk over the week's event set (побеседовать о «наборе» событий за неделю). They rode their bicycles (они приезжали на велосипедах /to ride-rode-ridden/) to a special bench (скамейка) every Sunday for twenty years (в течение двадцати лет).

One Sunday the rabbi got to bench exactly (прибыл к скамейке точно) at 2 and waited and waited (ждал). An hour went by (прошел час) and the priest was still not there (а священника все не было: «все еще не был там»).

The rabbi rode home (домой) and called the priest on the phone (и позвонил священнику по телефону). " Hey, Father, what happened? (что случилось)" The rabbi asked (спросил). " For twenty years we've met at the park every Sunday, but today you didn't show up (но сегодня ты не появился). What's wrong? (что случилось: «что не так, неверно»)

" Well Rabbi, " the priest explained (объяснил), " after church (после церкви) today I went out to get my bike (я вышел взять мой велосипед) to meet you, but my bike was missing (пропал: «был пропавшим, отсутствующим»). I know it must have been (я знаю, это должен был быть) someone in my parish (кто-нибудь в моем приходе) who took it (кто взял его). Rabbi, what should I do? (что мне делать: «что я должен сделать»)"

" Well, that's quite a dilemma (да, это, пожалуй, дилемма), Father. " The rabbi said thoughtfully (задумчиво), " I'll tell you what you should do (я скажу тебе, что делать). Next Sunday when you give your sermon (в следующее воскресенье, когда будешь читать: «давать» свою проповедь), speak of the Ten Commandments (поговори о Десяти Заповедях). When you get to the part about (когда дойдешь до места: «части» о) ‘Thou shall not steal’ (не укради), look over your congregation (огляди свою паству), and the person with the guilty look (с виноватым взглядом; guilt – вина) will be the one who stole (будет тот, кто украл /to steal-stole-stolen/) your bicycle. "

The following Sunday (в следующее воскресенье) at 2 the rabbi was already waiting for the priest (уже поджидал священника).
Promptly (точно) at 2 up rode the priest on his bike.

" Well Father, my idea must have worked (моя идея, должно быть, сработала), " the rabbi said.

" Well, not quite (ну, не совсем), " the priest intoned (пропел, произнес нараспев, протянул). " I was going through the Ten Commandments as you suggested (я проходил через Десять Заповедей, как ты посоветовал). But when I got to the part about ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery’ (не прелюбодействуй), " I remembered (вспомнил) where I left (где я оставил /to leave-left-left/) my bike. "
