| He was not over thirty. | Человек этот выглядел лет на тридцать, не больше. |
| His eyes were very dark brown and there was a hint of brown pigment in his eyeballs. His cheek bones were high and wide, and strong deep lines cut down his cheeks, in curves beside his mouth. | Глаза у него были темно-карие, с желтоватыми белками, скулы широкие, по обе стороны рта залегли две глубокие морщины. |
| His upper lip was long, and since his teeth protruded, the lips stretched to cover them, for this man kept his lips closed. His hands were hard, with broad fingers and nails as thick and ridged as little clam shells. | Зубы выдавались вперед, но их не было видно, потому что он держал губы сомкнутыми; руки были огрубевшие, ногти толстые и твердые, как ракушки. |
| The space between thumb and forefinger and the hams of his hands were shiny with callus. | В выемке между большим и указательным пальцами и на мясистой части ладоней поблескивали мозоли. |
| The man's clothes were new-all of them, cheap and new. | Человек был одет во все новое - недорогое и новое. |
| His gray cap was so new that the visor was still stiff and the button still on, not shapeless and bulged as it would be when it had served for a while all the various purposes of a cap-carrying sack, towel, handkerchief. | Козырек его серой кепки даже не успел погнуться, и пуговка на нем еще сидела на месте. Кепка не потеряла формы, не обвисла, как это бывает, когда головной убор служит одновременно и сумкой, и полотенцем, и носовым платком. |
| His suit was of cheap gray hardcloth and so new that there were creases in the trousers. | Серый костюм из дешевой грубой материи тоже был настолько новый, что на брюках еще сохранилась складка. |
| His blue chambray shirt was stiff and smooth with filler. | Нестираная синяя рубашка торчала колом. |
| The coat was too big, the trousers too short, for he was a tall man. | Пиджак был ему слишком широк, а брюки коротки, не по росту. |
| The coat shoulder peaks hung down on his arms, and even then the sleeves were too short and the front of the coat flapped loosely over his stomach. | Пройма приходилась ниже, чем следует, но рукава все равно не доходили до запястий, полы пиджака болтались спереди. |
