Day69

Post by admin »

Agreed, finally, that we should take three bath towels, so as not to keep each other waiting.
For clothes, George said two suits of flannel would be sufficient, as we could wash them ourselves, in the river, when they got dirty. We asked him if he had ever tried washing flannels in the river, and he replied: "No, not exactly himself like; but he knew some fellows who had, and it was easy enough;" and Harris and I were weak enough to fancy he knew what he was talking about, and that three respectable young men, without position or influence, and with no experience in washing, could really clean their own shirts and trousers in the river Thames with a bit of soap.

Agreed, finally, that we should take three bath towels (/мы/ согласились, наконец, что возьмем три купальных полотенца), so as not to keep each other waiting (чтобы не заставлять друг друга ждать).
For clothes, George said two suits of flannel would be sufficient (что касается одежды, то Джордж сказал, двух костюмов из фланели будет достаточно), as we could wash them ourselves, in the river, when they got dirty (поскольку мы можем стирать их сами в реке, когда они запачкаются). We asked him if he had ever tried washing flannels in the river, and he replied (мы спросили его, пробовал ли он когда-нибудь стирать фланелевые /костюмы/ в реке, и он ответил): "No, not exactly himself like (нет, не совсем сам); but he knew some fellows who had, and it was easy enough (но он знает тех, кто стирал, и это было довольно просто; fellow — приятель, товарищ, коллега, собрат);" and Harris and I were weak enough to fancy he knew what he was talking about (Гаррис и я были достаточно слабы = слабохарактерны, чтобы вообразить/подумать, /будто/ он знает, о чем говорит; weak — слабый, нерешительный), and that three respectable young men, without position or influence (что три приличных молодых человека, без положения и влияния /в обществе/), and with no experience in washing (и без опыта стирки), could really clean their own shirts and trousers in the river Thames with a bit of soap (действительно смогут очистить = выстирать свои рубашки и брюки в Темзе с помощью куска мыла).
