Уроки по английскому языку – Урок 90

A Scotsman who was driving* home one night ran*1 into a car driven* by an Englishman. The Scot got* out of the car to apologise and offered the Englishman a drink from a bottle of whisky. The Englishman was glad to2 have a drink. “- Go on, said the Scot, have another drink. The Englishman drank* gratefully3.

– But don’t you want one? he asked the Scot. Perhaps, the other replied, when the police have gone.” The park keeper walked up to a tramp who was sleeping* on a bench in Green Park. “- Hey! You! he shouted, I’m going to shut* the park gates! All right, replied the tramp, try not to4 slam them.” When Mrs Davis told* her husband that guests were coming* to dinner that night, He went* out into the hall and hid* all the umbrellas. “- What’s the matter? asked his wife, “are you afraid someone will steal* them? It’s not that, replied her husband, but I’m afraid someone might recognise them.”

который однажды ночью ехал домой, столкнулся с машиной, которую вел англичанин. Шотландец вылез из автомобиля, чтобы попросить извинения и предложил англичанину [напиток] (выпить) из бутылки виски. Англичанин обрадовался возможности выпить. – (Давай еще) [продолжай], – сказал шотландец, – выпей еще один глоток. Англичанин с благодарностью выпил. – А ты разве не хочешь разок (глотнуть)? – спросил он шотландца. – Может быть, – ответил тот, – когда уедет полиция. Сторож парка наткнулся на бездомного, который спал на лавке в Грин-парке. – Эй, ты! – крикнул он, – я собираюсь закрыть ворота парка. – Хорошо [все в порядке], – ответил бездомный, – постарайся ими не хлопать.
