without horns on the land of the giant (и повел: «поместил» пять золотых коров и быка без рогов на земле великана).

cowboy ['kaubOI], surrounded [sq'raundId], stretch [stretS], giant ['dZaIqnt]

The new cowboy drove the cattle to pasture, and when near the land of the giant, he saw it was covered with woods and surrounded by a high wall. He went up, put his back against the wall, and threw in a great stretch of it; then he went inside and threw out another great stretch of the wall, and put the five golden cows and the bull without horns on the land of the giant.

Then he climbed a tree (затем он взобрался на дерево), ate the sweet apples himself (и /стал/ есть сладкие яблоки сам), and threw the sour ones down to the cattle of the Gruagach Gaire (и бросать кислые вниз коровам и быку Смеющегося Груагаха).

Then he climbed a tree, ate the sweet apples himself, and threw the sour ones down to the cattle of the Gruagach Gaire.

Soon a great crashing was heard in the woods (вскоре в лесу послышался сильный = оглушающий грохот; great — большой, огромный, громадный; большой, сильный, колоссальный, огромный /о чувствах, состояниях,

свойствах и т.п.; to hear /heard/), — the noise of young trees bending (треск: «шум» сгибаемых молодых деревьев), and old trees breaking (и ломаемых старых деревьев). The cowboy looked around (пастух осмотрелся:

«взглянул вокруг»), and saw a five-headed giant pushing through the trees (и

увидел пятиголового великана, продирающегося сквозь деревья; to push —

толкать, пихать; проталкиваться); and soon he was before him (и вскоре тот: «он» оказался перед ним).

"Poor miserable creature (несчастное жалкое существо; poor — бедный,

неимущий; бедный, несчастный)," said the giant (сказал великан); but weren't you impudent (ну не был ли ты /настолько/ дерзким) to come to my land (чтобы прийти в мои владения) and trouble me in this way (и

побеспокоить меня вот так: «таким образом»; way — путь, дорога; способ,

образ действия)? You're too big for one bite (ты слишком большой для одного укуса; bite — укус, кусание; кусок /пищи/, легкая закуска), and too small for two (и слишком мал для двух). I don't know what to do (я не знаю,

что же делать) but tear you to pieces (кроме как разорвать тебя на кусочки)."

kill him (что если великан убьет его), his father and mother would never find him (его отец и мать никогда не найдут его) or set eyes on him again (и не увидят его больше: «снова»; to set — ставить, помещать, класть; eye — глаз, око; взгляд, взор; to set eyes on smb. — увидеть, заметить кого-л.), and he would never get the daughter of the king of Erin (и он никогда не получит дочь короля Ирландии).

fought [fO:t], thought [TO:t], never ['nevq]

They fought till late in the afternoon, when the giant was getting the upper hand; and then the cowboy thought that if the giant should kill him, his father and mother would never find him or set eyes on him again, and he would never get the daughter of the king of Erin.

The heart in his body grew strong at this thought (дух его укрепился при этой мысли: «сердце в его теле стало сильным…»; heart — сердце; душа,

сердце; to grow /grew, grown/ — расти; становиться делаться). He sprang on the giant (он бросился на великана; to spring /sprang, sprung/ — скакать,

давление, принуждение; thrust — толчок; удар) he put him to his knees in the hard ground (он вогнал его до колен в твердую землю), with the second thrust to his waist (вторым ударом — до пояса: «до его талии»), and with the third to his shoulders (а третьим — до плеч).

"I have you at last (наконец-то я тебя одолел; to have — иметь; /разг./

одолеть, взять верх, победить); you're done for now (теперь-то тебе конец: «ты погублен теперь»)!" said the cowboy (сказал пастух). Then he took out his knife (затем он вынул свой нож), cut the five heads off the giant (срубил: «срезал» /все/ пять голов у великана), and when he had them off (а когда он их срубил; to have — иметь; off — прочь) he cut out the tongues (он вырезал языки) and threw the heads over the wall (и бросил головы через стену; to throw /threw, thrown/).

done [dAn], knife [naIf], tongue [tAN]

"I have you at last; you're done for now!" said the cowboy. Then he took out his knife, cut the five heads off the giant, and when he had them off he cut out the tongues and threw the heads over the wall.

Then he put the tongues in his pocket (затем он положил языки в свой карман) and drove home the cattle (и погнал скот домой; to drive /drove, driven/). That evening the Gruagach couldn't find vessels enough in all his place (в тот вечерь Груагах не мог найти достаточного /количества/ посуды во всем своем замке; place — место; дом, жилище; имение,

загородный дом) to hold the milk of the five golden cows (чтобы вместить молоко пяти золотых коров; to hold — держать; вмещать).

by the giant's land (он /как раз/ дошел до владений великана; along —

envy ['envI], errand ['erqnd], thrown [Trqun]

Now the son of the king of Tisean [= son of king of Envy] set out from the king of Erin on the same errand, after asking for his daughter; and as soon as the cowboy drove in his cattle on the second day, he came along by the giant's land, found the five heads of the giant thrown out by the cowboy the day before, and picking them up, ran off to the king of Erin and put them down before him.

"Oh, you have done good work (о, ты выполнил хорошую работу)!" said the king. "You have won one third of my daughter (ты завоевал мою дочь на одну треть: «завоевал одну треть моей дочери»; to win /won/ — выиграть;

добиться, завоевать)."

Soon after the cowboy had begun to eat sweet apples (вскоре после того, как пастух начал есть сладкие яблоки; to begin /began, begun/), and the son of
