A visit to England

Pierre has met* his English friend Tony, and they are drinking* beer together on the Champs-Elysees. So, I hear* you’ve been to England recently. Tell* me about your trip. Well, as I had a long weekend, I decided to take* advantage of1 it. I was going to travel by boat, but then I read* an advertisement for the hovercraft. I’d2 never taken* one before, so I thought* it would be an adventure. I went by train to Boulogne. At the hoverport, 1 bought* some duty-free cigarettes. Then the hovercraft arrived. It was very impressive, like a huge seamonster. Not only3 does it carry passengers, but also cars, coaches and even lorries. Eventually, when everyone was on board, the thing rose* up on a cushion of air and set off. You couldn’t see* anything through the windows, because there was too much spray. It was fantastic! In only half an hour we were in Dover. My first impressions weren’t marvellous. It was raining! As I

got out of the hovercraft and headed for the Customs, I suddenly realised that I was in a foreign country. Everything was in English and I suddenly began* to panic. I went through the “nothing to declare” lane4 and got onto a coach to go to the station. I hadn’t spoken* a word and no one had spoken* to me.		Визит в Англию

Пьер встретил своего английского приятеля Тони, и они вместе пьют пиво на Елисейских полях. Да, слышал, что ты недавно был в Англии. Расскажи мне о своей поездке. Так как у меня был долгий уикенд, я решил им воспользоваться. Я собирался поплыть [путешествовать] кораблем, но потом прочитал объявление о судне на воздушной подушке. Никогда прежде не пользовался им (таким транспортом), поэтому подумал, что это может быть приключением. Я поехал поездом в Булонь. В порту купил не облагаемые таможенной пошлиной сигареты.

Потом приплыл корабль на воздушной подушке. Он производил сильное впечатление. Как огромное морское чудовище. Он не только перевозит пассажиров, но и автомобили, автобусы и даже грузовики. В конце концов, когда все были на борту, корабль [эта вещь] поднялся на воздушной подушке и двинулся. Ничего нельзя было увидеть сквозь окна, потому что очень (сильно) брызгало. Это было фантастически! Всего лишь через полчаса мы были в Дувре. Мои первые впечатления не были чудесными. Шел дождь. Как только я сошел с корабля на воздушной подушке и направился к таможне, я вдруг уяснил (для себя), что нахожусь в чужой стране. Все было по-английски, и тут я стал поддаваться панике. Я прошел по зеленому коридору [“ничего не декларируется”] и сел в автобус, чтобы попасть на вокзал. Я не сказал никому ни слова, и никто ничего не сказал мне.

Объяснения

To take advantage of – воспользоваться чем-то, использовать что/кого-либо; Advantage – преимущество, польза; Disadvantage – недостаток, неудобство, вред. I’d – является сокращением от I had и I would. Только из общего содержания предложения догадываемся, что это сокращение от I had. Равным образом He’s = he is, he has; they’re = they are, they were. Not only… but also – не только…. но и. It carriers not only 7N passengers but also lorries – Он перевозит не только пассажиров, но и грузовики. Lane – дорожка, дорога, аллея, полоса движения, закоулок.

Упражнения

Не got out of the coach and headed for the Customs building. The monster rose up from the loch. You couldn’t see anything through the windows because of the spray. Let’s take advantage of the fine weather. We can go for a picnic if you like.Он вышел из автобуса и направился к таможне. Чудовище вынырнуло из озера. Нельзя было ничего увидеть через окна из-за того, что брызгала вода. Давайте воспользуемся хорошей погодой. Мы можем поехать на пикник, если хочешь.
