«Английский язык с Джонатаном Свифтом Путешествия Гулливера»

On the road home, looking at the size of the trees (наблюдая по дороге домой размеры деревьев), the houses and the cattle (домов и домашнего скота), I began to feel as though I were back in Lilliput (мне стало казаться, что: «я начал себя чувствовать /так/, как будто» я снова оказался в Лилипутии). Even when I came to my own house (даже когда я подошел = подойдя к своему дому) I bent down to go in the door (я нагнулся, чтобы пройти в дверь; to bend), being afraid of banging my head (боясь /иначе/ удариться головой). My wife ran into the hall to embrace me (жена выбежала в прихожую обнять меня). I stooped lower than her knees (я наклонился ниже ее колен), thinking she wouldn't otherwise be able to reach my mouth (полагая, что иначе ей не достать моего лица: «рта»). Feeling that I was a giant (чувствуя себя великаном/гигантом), I tried to lift my daughter up with one hand (я попытался одной рукой поднять свою дочь).

The captain and I became quite good friends during the journey back to England. We called at various ports for food and fresh water. I stayed aboard until, nine months later on June 3rd, 1706, we arrived in England. I borrowed five shillings from him to pay for the hire of a horse and guide.
