Уроки по английскому языку – Урок 118

At the Wilson’s

Oxford looked very beautiful that morning. It is not for nothing1 that it is called “The City of Spires”. They drove* through the centre and soon arrived at the quiet street where David’s parents lived. David’s father greeted2 them at the door. “- Hello, you look well. Come* in! Did you have a good trip? David and Joan looked at one another uncomfortably3. Er, yes thanks, it was* alright. Put* your bags down there and come* into the front room4. David’s mother was sitting in front of the fire. She stood* up as they came* in and kissed them both. Joan took* a parcel from behind her back and gave* it to Mrs Wilson. It’s just a little something I found* in a junk…5 I mean*, in an antique shop. Mrs Wilson opened the parcel and took* out a small silver box. Oh, it’s lovely! she cried, but what is it? Well, it’s Victorian. It’s a… thing. Oh good, you don’t know*

either. I can’t offend you, can I? I think* I’ll put* my earrings in it.”		У Вилсонов

Этим утром Оксфорд выглядел [очень] прекрасно. Не напрасно называют его “городом шпилей”. Они проехали через центр и вскоре прибыли на спокойную улочку, где жили родители Дэвида. Отец Дэвида поприветствовал их в дверях: – Здравствуйте, вы хорошо выглядите. Входите. Вы хорошо доехали? Дэвид и Джоэн посмотрели друг на друга с неловкостью. – Э…, так, спасибо, все было в порядке. – Кладите свои сумки там и входите в гостиную. Мать Дэвида сидела перед камином. Она встала, как (только) они вошли, и поцеловала их обоих. Джоэн достала сверток из-за спины и дала его миссис Вилсон. – Это что-то небольшое, что я нашла в старых вещах, то есть

в антикварном магазине. Миссис Вилсон раскрыла сверток и вынула маленькую серебряную коробочку. – О, это чудесно! – воскликнула, – но что это? – Это викторианское. Это… вещь. – А, [хорошо,] ты тоже не знаешь. Я не хочу [могу] тебя обидеть, не так ли? Думаю, что положу сюда [в это] свои сережки.
