“Money? But I am a poor man!” exclaimed Isaac. “Even the clothes that I wear are borrowed from a friend.”
“Liar!” The Templar smiled sourly and turned to say something in Arabic to his servants.
Later that same night (позже той же самой ночью), Isaac woke up to find the pilgrim leaning over his bed (Исаак проснулся и обнаружил, что пилигрим склоняется над его ложем;

Later that same night, Isaac woke up to find the pilgrim leaning over his bed. The pilgrim saw that the old man shook with fear and quickly said, “Don’t be afraid, I have come to warn you! Your life is in great danger. I understand Arabic, and this evening I overheard the Templar tell his men to kill you on the road to Ashby tomorrow. Let me guide you through the forest tonight so you can at least reach Sheffield safely.”
The two men then went to the next room (двое мужчин затем пошли в соседнюю комнату;
“Wake up (проснись)!” the pilgrim said to Gurth. “Open the gate for me and the Jew (открой ворота мне и /старику/-еврею), so we can leave Rotherwood tonight (чтобы мы смогли покинуть Ротервуд сегодня вечером).”
Gurth was suspicious (Гурт что-то заподозрил: «был подозрительным»;
leave [li:v], suspicious [sǝ’spɪʃǝs], wait [weɪt]
The two men then went to the next room, where Gurth, the swineherd, slept.
“Wake up!” the pilgrim said to Gurth. “Open the gate for me and the Jew, so we can leave Rotherwood tonight.”
Gurth was suspicious. “Like the other guests, you must wait till tomorrow before you can leave,” he said, as Wamba entered the room.
“I think you cannot refuse to do me this favour (я думаю, что ты не можешь отказаться оказать мне эту услугу;
Gurth hurried to open the gate (Гурт поспешил открыть ворота) and let the pilgrim and Isaac out (и выпустил пилигрима и Исаака /из замка/;
refuse [rɪ’fju:z], favour [‘feɪvǝ], whisper [‘wɪspǝ], warn [wɔ:n], hurry [‘hʌrɪ]
“I think you cannot refuse to do me this favour,” said the pilgrim and whispered something in Gurth’s ear. Gurth looked surprised and stared at the pilgrim. “But you must not tell anyone what I have just told you,” the pilgrim warned.
Gurth hurried to open the gate and let the pilgrim and Isaac out. He even kissed the pilgrim’s hand before the two visitors disappeared into the forest.
“You know, my good friend Gurth (знаешь ли, мой добрый друг Гурт),” said Wamba, who was confused (сказал смущенный Вамба: «сказал Вамба, который был смущен»;
“You can’t always judge people by their appearance, Wamba (нельзя всегда судить о людях по их внешнему виду, Вамба;
confused [kǝn’fju:zd], religious [rɪ’lɪdʒǝs], judge [dʒʌdʒ], appearance [ǝ’pɪ(ǝ)rǝns]
“You know, my good friend Gurth,” said Wamba, who was confused, “you seem strangely religious today, kissing the hand of the pilgrim like that.”
“You can’t always judge people by their appearance, Wamba,” replied Gurth, and they went back inside.
Isaac followed the pilgrim through the dark forest (Исаак следовал за пилигримом по темному лесу) until they arrived at the top of a small hill (до тех пор пока они не пришли на вершину небольшого холма). The pilgrim pointed at the town of Sheffield (пилигрим указал на город Шеффилд;
“Not until you have the thanks of a poor Jew (только после того, как вы примете благодарности бедного еврея;
“I don’t want anything from you (мне ничего не нужно от вас;
through [θru:], below [bɪ’lǝʋ], pay [peɪ]
Isaac followed the pilgrim through the dark forest until they arrived at the top of a small hill. The pilgrim pointed at the town of Sheffield below them in the valley and said to the old man, “Here we part.”
“Not until you have the thanks of a poor Jew,” said Isaac. “Let me pay you for your kind help.”
“I don’t want anything from you,” answered the pilgrim.
“Forgive me for guessing (простите меня за предположение того;
The pilgrim turned and stared at the old Jew (пилигрим обернулся и уставился на старого еврея).
“What makes you think that (почему вы так думаете: «что заставляет вас думать так»;
“When you came to my room at Rotherwood (когда вы пришли в мою комнату в /замке/ Ротервуд), I noticed that you wore chain-mail under your pilgrim’s robe (я обратил внимание, что на вас кольчуга под одеянием пилигрима;
guessing [‘ɡesɪŋ], horse [hɔ:s], armour [‘ɑ:mǝ], turn [tǝ:n]
“Forgive me for guessing what you want most at the moment. You wish for a horse and armour.”
The pilgrim turned and stared at the old Jew.
“What makes you think that?”
“When you came to my room at Rotherwood, I noticed that you wore chain-mail under your pilgrim’s robe.”
Isaac quickly wrote some words on a piece of paper (Исаак быстро написал несколько слов на клочке бумаги;
“I have a rich friend in Leicester (у меня есть богатый друг в Лестере) who will give you his best horse and armour (который даст вам своего лучшего коня и доспехи) if you give him this letter from me (если вы отдадите ему это письмо от меня).”
