актер на первые роли) he must gain experience in modern plays (он должен

набраться опыта в современных пьесах).

A man called James Langton (человек по имени Джеймс Лэнгтон) was running a

repertory theatre at Middlepool (управлял репертуарным театром в Миддлпуле;

repertory theatre — театр с постоянной труппой и с определенным

репертуаром, часто без собственного здания театра) that was attracting a

good deal of attention (который привлекал достаточно много внимания); and

after Michael had been with Benson for three years (и после того, как Майкл

провел с Бенсоном три года), when the company was going to Middlepool

(когда /его/ труппа отправилась: «собиралась» в Миддлпул; company —

общество, компания, собеседник, театр. постоянная группа актеров,

ансамбль, труппа) on its annual visit (с ежегодным визитом; annual —

годовой, годичный), he wrote to Langton (он написал Лэнгтону) and asked

whether he would see him (и спросил, сможет ли тот принять его; whether —

зд. косвенный вопрос: не может ли?; to see — видеть, смотреть,

встречаться). Jimmie Langton (Джимми Лэнгтон), a fat (толстый), bald-

headed (лысый; bald (лысый, плешивый)-headed (a head — голова)), rubicund

man of forty-five (румяный мужчина сорока пяти лет), who looked like one of

Rubens' prosperous burghers (который выглядел как один из процветающих

бюргеров /с картин/ Рубенса; prosperous — преуспевающий, богатый), had a

passion for the theatre (обожал театр; to have passion — обожать, обладать

страстью к чему-либо). He was an eccentric (он был эксцентричный), arrogant

(высокомерный), exuberant (жизнерадостный), vain (тщеславный) and

He loved acting (он обожал актерство; acting — театр. игра, притворство),

but his physique (но его телосложение) prevented him from playing (не

позволяло ему играть; to prevent from — предотвращать, мешать, не

нескольких ролей»), which was fortunate (что было /большой/ удачей;

fortunate — счастливый, удачливый), for he was a bad actor (так как он был
