| All they care about is their fees, the brigands; but as for the benefit of humanity -- for that they don't care a straw. | Только деньги любят брать, разбойники, а ежели касательно пользы человечества, то им и горя мало. |
| They prescribe some quackery, and you have to drink it. | Пропишет какой-нибудь хиромантии, а ты пей. |
| Assassins, that's the only word for them. | Душегубцы, одним словом. |
| If it hadn't been for you, our angel, I should have been in the grave by now! | Если бы не вы, ангел наш, быть бы мне в могиле! |
| I went home from you that Tuesday, looked at the pilules that you gave me then, and wondered what good there could be in them. | Прихожу от вас в тот вторник, гляжу на крупинки, что вы дали тогда, и думаю: "Ну, какой в них толк? |
| Was it possible that those little grains, scarcely visible, could cure my immense, long-standing disease? | Нешто эти песчинки, еле видимые, могут излечить мою громадную застарелую болезнь?" |
| That's what I thought -- unbeliever that I was! -- and I smiled; but when I took the pilule -- it was instantaneous! It was as though I had not been ill, or as though it had been lifted off me. | Думаю, маловер, и улыбаюсь, а как принял крупинку -- моментально! словно и болен не был или рукой сняло. |
| My wife looked at me with her eyes starting out of her head and couldn't believe it. | Жена глядит на меня выпученными глазами и не верит: |
| ' Why, is it you, Kolya?' | "Да ты ли это, Кузя?" -- |
| ' Yes, it is I,' I said. | "Я", говорю. |
| And we knelt down together before the ikon, and fell to praying for our angel: | И стали мы с ней перед образом на коленки и давай молиться за ангела нашего: |
| 'Send her, O Lord, all that we are feeling!' " | "Пошли ты ей, господи, всего, что мы только чувствуем!" |
| Zamuhrishen wipes his eyes with his sleeve gets up from his chair, and shows a disposition to drop on one knee again; but the lady checks him and makes him sit down. | Замухришин вытирает рукавом глаза, поднимается со стула и выказывает намерение снова стать на одно колено, но генеральша останавливает и усаживает его. |
| "It's not me you must thank," she says, blushing with excitement and looking enthusiastically at the portrait of Father Aristark. "It's not my doing. . . . | -- Не меня благодарите! -- говорит она, красная от волнения и глядя восторженно на портрет отца Аристарха. -- Не меня! |
| I am only the obedient instrument . . | Я тут только послушное орудие... |
| It's really a miracle. | Действительно, чудеса! |
| Rheumatism of eight years' standing by one pilule of scrofuloso!" |
