| This sentiment was uttered with as much simplicity of manner as of feeling, and Judith rewarded it with a smile so sweet, that even Deerslayer, who had imbibed a prejudice against the girl in consequence of Hurry's suspicions of her levity, felt its charm, notwithstanding half its winning influence was lost in the feeble light. | Сказано это было совсем просто, но с большим чувством, и Джудит наградила собеседника такой милой улыбкой, что даже Зверобой, составивший себе на основании рассказов Непоседы очень худое мнение о девушке, не мог не поддаться ее очарованию. |
| It at once created a sort of confidence between them, and the discourse was continued on the part of the hunter, without the lively consciousness of the character of this coquette of the wilderness, with which it had certainly commenced. | Между ними сразу установилось взаимное доверие, и разговор продолжался. |
| "You are a man of deeds, and not of words, I see plainly, Deerslayer," continued the beauty, taking her seat near the spot where the other stood, "and I foresee we shall be very good friends. | - Я вижу, что слова у вас не расходятся с делом, Зверобой, - продолжала красавица, усаживаясь у ног молодого охотника. - Надеюсь, мы будем добрыми друзьями. |
| Hurry Harry has a tongue, and, giant as he is, he talks more than he performs." | У Гарри Непоседы бойкий язык, и он хоть и великан, а говорит гораздо больше, чем делает. |
| "March is your fri'nd, Judith; and fri'nds should be tender of each other, when apart." | - Марч - ваш друг, Джудит, а о друзьях нельзя говорить дурно у них за спиной. |
| "We all know what Hurry's friendship comes to! | - Мы все знаем, чего стоит дружба Непоседы. |
| Let him have his own way in everything, and he's the best fellow in the colony; but 'head him off,' as you say of the deer, and he is master of everything near him but himself. | Потакайте его причудам, и он будет самым милым парнем в целой Колонии, но попробуйте только погладить его против шерсти, тут уж ему с собой не совладать. |
| Hurry is no favorite of mine, Deerslayer; and I dare say, if the truth was known, and his conversation about me repeated, it would be found that he thinks no better of me than I own I do of him." | Я не очень люблю Непоседу, Зверобой, и, говоря по правде, думаю, что он отзывается обо мне не лучше, чем я о нем. |
| The latter part of this speech was not uttered without uneasiness. | В последних словах прозвучала затаенная горечь. |
| Had the girl's companion been more sophisticated, he might have observed the averted face, the manner in which the pretty little foot was agitated, and other signs that, for some unexplained reason, the opinions of March were not quite as much a matter of indifference to her as she thought fit to pretend. | Если бы ее собеседник лучше знал жизнь и людей, он мог бы заметить по личику, которое она отвернула, по нервному постукиванию маленькой ножки и по другим признакам, что мнение Марча далеко не так безразлично для Джудит, как она утверждала. |
| Whether this was no more than the ordinary working of female vanity, feeling keenly even when it affected not to feel at all, or whether it proceeded from that deeply-seated consciousness of right and wrong which God himself has implanted in our breasts that we may know good from evil, will be made more apparent to the reader as we proceed in the tale. | Читатель со временем узнает, чем это объяснялось - женским ли тщеславием или более глубоким чувством. |
| Deerslayer felt embarrassed. | Зверобой порядком смутился. |
| He well remembered the cruel imputations left by March's distrust; and, while he did not wish to injure his associate's suit by exciting resentment against him, his tongue was one that literally knew no guile. | Он хорошо помнил злые слова Марча. Вредить товарищу он не хотел и в то же время совершенно не умел лгать. |
