`Have you not seen your face since it was injured (разве ты не видел своего лица после того, как оно было повреждено)? she asked.
He shook his head (он /отрицательно/ покачал головой;
`You were handsome (ты был хорош собой;
`I do not know (не знаю).
mirror [ˈmɪrə] immediately [ɪˈmi:dɪətlɪ] injured [ˈɪnʤəd]
Reminded of this, he asked the girl:
`Would you bring me a mirror?
`Aye, lord. She ducked her head and left the chamber.
But it was the Margravine herself who returned with the mirror. She did not hand it to him immediately.
`Have you not seen your face since it was injured? she asked.
He shook his head.
`You were handsome?
`I do not know.
She looked at him frankly (она посмотрела на него откровенно).
`Yes, she said. `You were handsome.
Then she gave him the mirror (затем она дала ему зеркало).
The face he saw was framed by the same light golden hair (лицо, /которое/ он увидел, было обрамлено теми же легкими золотыми волосами), but it was no longer youthful (но оно больше не было юным). Fear and agony had left their marks (страх и страдания оставили свои отпечатки/следы;

Then she gave him the mirror.
The face he saw was framed by the same light golden hair, but it was no longer youthful. Fear and agony had left their marks. The face was lined and hard and the set of the mouth grim. One eye of gold and purple stared bleakly back at him. The other socket was an ugly hole made up of red, stained tissue. There was a small scar on his left cheek and another on his neck. The face was still characteristically a Vadhagh face, but it had suffered abuse never suffered by a Vadhagh before. From the face of an angel it had been transformed by Glandyth's knives and irons into the face of a demon.
Silently, Corum gave her back the mirror (молча, Корум отдал ей назад = вернул зеркало).
He passed his good hand over the scars of his face and he brooded (он провел здоровой рукой по шрамам своего лица и сказал грустно;
`If I was handsome, I am ugly now (если я /и/ был красив, /то/ я уродлив теперь).
She shrugged (она пожала плечами).
`I have seen much worse (я видела намного хуже).
Then the rage began to fill him again (затем = и тут ярость начала наполнять его снова) and his eye blazed and he shook the stump of his hand and he shouted at her (его глаз сверкнул и он затряс обрубком руки и крикнул на нее /Ралину/).

`Aye, and you will see much worse when I have done with Glandyth-a-Krae (да, и ты увидишь гораздо хуже = уродливее, когда я разделаюсь с Гландитом-а-Краэ)!
Surprised, she recoiled from him and then regained her composure (пораженная, она отпрянула от него, но затем вновь вернула свое самообладание = взяла себя в руки;
