| At the hospital, Bill took off his sock and pulled his trouser leg upover his knee onto his thigh. The doctor looked down at the injuredfoot, which was already getting bigger and changing colour. " "Hm. Nasty accident," he said. "What happened?" "A skier smashed into my foot," explained Bill. "Oh, dear. Very nasty. Well, let's see what's wrong, shall we?" | В больнице Билл снял носок и подтянул штанину брюк вверх к колену н~бедро. Доктор посмотрел на раненую ступню, которая уже увеличивалась им" няла цвет. «Гм. Ужасный несчастный случай, — сказал он. — Что случилось?» «Лыжник врезался в мою ногу», — объяснил Билл. «О, боже. Ужасно. Хорошо, давайте посмотрим, что тут не в порядке». |
| The doctor gently picked up Bill's foot, and taking the heel in the palmof his left hand, he slowly moved the toes, testing each one. The bigtoe looked the worst. The toenail was badly broken and it was bleeding alittle. Then, putting his right hand under Bill's calf and stillholding the heel in his left hand, he moved the foot gently from side toside. "Does your ankle hurt when I do that?" the doctor asked. "Not too much," Bill answered. | Доктор мягко поднял ногу Билла и, взяв пятку в ладонь левой руки, начмедленно двигать пальцами ноги, проверяя каждый. Большой палец выглядехуже всех. Ноготь на пальце был сильно сломан и немного кровоточил.Тогда, положив правую руку под икру ноги Билла и продолжая держать егопятку в левой руке, он мягко подвигал ступню из стороны в сторону. «Ваша лодыжка болит, когда я это делаю?» — спросил доктор. «Не слишком», — ответил Билл |
| The doctor looked up. "Good. Well, Mr Harvey, you are very lucky. Nothing is broken and you should be fine again in a few days". "Will I be able to ski then?" asked Bill. "Oh, yes. Of course you will," answered the doctor. "That's good," said Bill, "because I don't know how to ski now!" | Доктор поднял голову: «Хорошо. Ну, мистер Харви, вам повезло. Ничего не сломано, и вы будете в порядке через несколько дней». «Смогу ли я кататься на лыжах?» — спросил Билл. «О, да. Конечно сможете», — ответил доктор. «Это хорошо, — сказал Билл, — потому что до сих пор я не умел кататься на лыжах!» |
