1. I did not know what to do, for, as an English Churchman, I have been taught to regard such things as in some measure idolatrous, and yet it seemed so ungracious to refuse an old lady meaning so well and in such a state of mind. 2. Right and left of us they towered, with the afternoon sun falling full upon them and bringing out all the glorious colours of this beautiful range, deep blue and purple in the shadows of the peaks, green and brown where grass and rock mingled, and an endless perspective of jagged rock and pointed crags, till these were themselves lost in the distance, where the snowy peaks rose grandly. 3. As the evening fell it began to get very cold, and the growing twilight seemed to merge into one dark mistiness the gloom of the trees, oak, beech, and pine, though in the valleys which ran deep between the spurs of the hills, as we ascended through the Pass, the dark firs stood out here and there against the background of late-lying snow. 4. Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky. 5. A table in the centre was littered with English magazines and newspapers, though none of them were of very recent date. 6. From the windows I could see that the suite of rooms lay along to the south of the castle, the windows of the end room looking out both west and south. On the latter side, as well as to the former, there was a great precipice. 7. My lamp seemed to be of little effect in the brilliant moonlight, but I was glad to have it with me, for there was a dread loneliness in the place which chilled my heart and made my nerves tremble. 8. I drew a great couch out of its place near the corner, so that as I lay, I could look at the lovely view to east and south, and unthinking of and uncaring for the dust, composed myself for sleep. 9. ‘Are we to have nothing tonight?’ said one of them, with a low laugh, as she pointed to the bag which he had thrown upon the floor, and which moved as though there were some living thing within it. 10. They simply seemed to fade into the rays of the moonlight and pass out through the window, for I could see outside the dim, shadowy forms for a moment before they entirely faded away. 6.

(F. he stopped for the night) 2.

The wine was Golden Mediasch, which produces a queer sting on the tongue, which is, however, not disagreeable. (T) 5. One by one several of the passengers offered Jonathan Harker gifts, which they pressed upon him with an earnestness which would take no denial. These were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that same strange mixture of fear-meaning movements which he had seen outside the hotel at Bistritz—the sign of the cross and the guard against the evil eye. (T) 6. Jonathan Harker handed to old man the sealed letter which Mr. Hawkins had entrusted to him. (T) 7.

(F. his face was with HIGH bridge of THIN nose)8. The table service is of silver, and so beautifully wrought(работать) that it must be of immense value. The curtains and upholstery of the chairs and sofas and the hangings of Jonathan Harker’s bed are of the costliest and most beautiful fabrics, and must have been of fabulous value when they were made, for they are centuries old, but in disorder. (F. THE TABLE SERVICE OF gold; THE CERTAINS WERE in EXELENT order) 9. When Jonathan Harker had told Dracula the facts and got his signature to the necessary papers, and had written a letter with them ready to post to Mr. Hawkins, he began to ask Jonathan how he had come across so suitable a place. (T) 10. 15 May.—Once more I have seen the count go out in his spider fashion. He moved downwards in a sidelong way, some hundred feet down, and a good deal to the left. (F. the fashion was LIZARD) 7. Translate the following sentences into English paying attention to the words and word combinations in italics.1. Необычайная бледность лица, красные глаза, клыки заставили меня вспомнить о странном случае, произошедшем несколько дней назад, а именно о зверском убийстве SLAUGHTER, после которого у человека остались следы укуса на шее и тело было обескровлено. The extraordinary pallor of his face, red eyes, canine teeth, made me remember that weird incedent, which have had place some days ago, about the brutal murder, after which there were the bites on the neck and the body was bloodless. 2. Время от времени NOW AND AGAIN я слышал шум легкой коляски COLICHE, управляемой кучером, лошадиное ржание, однако, это было все второстепенным, поскольку главным было для меня выйти из состояния ступора от вида приближающейся стаи волков. From time to time I heard the noise of the carriage driven by a coachman, neighing of horses, however, it was a minor thing because the main thing for me was to get out of the stupor while watching the wolwes approaching. 3.

Я решил записать to put down, полученные от графа Дракулы данные и интересные факты относительно истории его страны, однако, у меня сложилось впечатление, что он сам был участником тех событий.

2. Describe the following characters: 1. Dracula Within, stood a tall old man, clean shaven save for a long white moustache, and clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of colour about him anywhere. He held in his hand an antique silver lamp, in which the flame burned without a chimney or globe of any kind, throwing long quivering shadows as it flickered in the draught of the open door. The old man motioned me in with his right hand with a courtly gesture, saying in excellent English, but with a strange intonation.
В дверях стоял высокий старик с чисто выбритым подбородком и длинными седыми усами; одет он был с головы до ног во все черное. В руке старик держал старинную серебряную лампу, в которой пламя свободно горело без какого бы то ни было стекла или трубы и бросало длинные, трепещущие тени от сквозного ветра. Старик приветствовал меня изысканным жестом правой рукой и сказал мне на прекрасном английском языке, но с иностранным акцентом.
His face was a strong, a very strong, aquiline, with high bridge of the thin nose and peculiarly arched nostrils, with lofty domed forehead, and hair growing scantily round the temples but profusely elsewhere. His eyebrows were very massive, almost meeting over the nose, and with bushy hair that seemed to curl in its own profusion. The mouth, so far as I could see it under the heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth. These protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showed astonishing vitality in a man of his years. For the rest, his ears were pale, and at the tops extremely pointed. The chin was broad and strong, and the cheeks firm though thin. The general effect was one of extraordinary pallor. Hitherto I had noticed the backs of his hands as they lay on his knees in the firelight, and they had seemed rather white and fine. But seeing them now close to me, I could not but notice that they were rather coarse, broad, with squat fingers. Strange to say, there were hairs in the centre of the palm. The nails were long and fine, and cut to a sharp point. As the Count leaned over me and his hands touched me, I could not repress a shudder. It may have been that his breath was rank, but a horrible feeling of nausea came over me, which, do what I would, I could not conceal. The Count, evidently noticing it, drew back. And with a grim sort of smile, which showed more than he had yet done his protruberant teeth, sat himself down again on his own side of the fireplace.
У него было энергичное, оригинальное лицо, тонкий нос и какие-то особенные, странной формы ноздри; надменный высокий лоб, и волосы, скудно и в то же время густыми клоками росшие около висков; очень густые, почти сходившиеся на лбу брови. Рот, насколько я мог разглядеть под тяжелыми усами, был решительный, даже жестокий на вид с необыкновенно острыми белыми зубами, выступавшими между губами, яркая окраска которых поражала своей жизненностью у человека его лет. Но сильнее всего поражала необыкновенная бледность лица. До сих пор мне удалось заметить издали только тыльную сторону его рук, когда он держал их на коленях; при свете горящего камина они производили впечатление белых и тонких; но, увидев их теперь вблизи, ладонями кверху, я заметил, что они были грубы, мясисты, с короткими толстыми пальцами. Особенно странно было то, что в центре ладони росли волосы. Ногти были длинные и тонкие, с заостренными концами. Когда граф наклонился ко мне и его рука дотронулась до меня, я не мог удержаться от содрогания. Возможно, его дыхание было тлетворным, потому что мною овладело какое-то ужасное чувство тошноты, которого я никак не мог скрыть. Граф, очевидно, заметил это, так как сейчас же отодвинулся; и с какой-то угрюмой улыбкой опять сел на свое прежнее место у камина. Мы оба молчали некоторое время, и когда я посмотрел в окно, то увидел первый проблеск наступающего рассвета.
2. Jonathan Jonathan is the first character we meet in the novel, but he's hardly the most interesting. Whenever he shares a scene with another character, he tends to be upstaged. Dr. Seward describes him as a "quiet, business-like gentleman," "uncommonly clever," and "full of energy", but that's about all we hear about the young lawyer. The guy is a lawyer – he's spent most of his life studying and working various desk jobs. He speaks several foreign languages and can tell you more than you wanted to know about the English legal system, but that's about it.
