Who lived at St. Malo, and Julia had been sent to live with her while she

Attended classes at the local lycee. She learnt to speak French like a

Frenchwoman.

She was a born actress (она была прирожденная актриса) and it was an

understood thing (и это было делом решенным: «понятной вещью») for as long

as she could remember (сколько она /себя могла/ помнить) that she was to go on

the stage (что она должна пойти в актрисы: «на сцену»). Her aunt, Madame

Falloux (ее тетя, мадам Фаллу), was "en relations" (была «в хороших

отношениях» /фр./) with an old actress (со старой актрисой) who had been a

societaire of the Comedie Franзaise (которая была социетарием = «членом,

пайщиком» театра Комедии Франсез) and who had retired to St. Malo (и

которая удалилась: «отошла от дел» в Сен-Мало; to retire — удаляться;

выходить на пенсию) to live on the small pension (чтобы жить на маленькую

пенсию) that one of her lovers had settled on her (которую назначил для нее

один из любовников; to settle — решать, договариваться, устраивать) when

after many years of faithful concubinage (когда после многих лет верной

любовной связи: «внебрачного сожительства») they had parted (они

расстались). When Julia was a child of twelve (когда Джулия была девочкой:

«ребенком» двенадцати лет) this actress was a boisterous (эта актриса была

громогласной), fat old woman (толстой старой женщиной), of more than sixty

(старше шестидесяти лет), but of great vitality (но с огромной жизненной

энергией), who loved food (которая любила еду) more than anything else in the

world (больше, чем что-либо еще в этом мире). She had a great, ringing laugh (у

нее был громкий, звенящий смех), like a man's (как у мужчины), and she talked

in a deep, loud voice (и она говорила глубоким, громким голосом). It was she

who (именно она: «это была она, кто») gave Julia her first lessons (дала

Джулии ее первые уроки).

She taught her all the arts (она преподала ей все умения: «хитрости

мастерства») that she had herself learnt at the Conservatoire (которым она сама

обучилась в музыкальном училище: «консерватории») and she talked to her of

Reichenberg (и она разговаривала с ней о Райхенберг) who had played ingenues

till she was seventy (которая играла инженю до семидесяти лет), of Sarah

Bernhardt and her golden voice (о Саре Бернар и ее золотистом голосе), of

Mounet-Sully and his majesty (о Муне-Сюлли и его величавости), and of

Coquelin the greatest actor of them all (и о Коклене, величайшем актере из них

всех). She recited to her the great tirades of Corneille and Racine (она

декламировала ей величайшие тирады Корнеля и Расина; to recite —

декламировать, повторять наизусть) as she had learnt to say them at the

Franзaise (как она научилась произносить их в Комедии Франсез) and taught

her to say them in the same way (и научила ее произносить их так же; in the

same way — точно так же, таким же образом). It was charming to hear Julia
