<span>When Mr. Hiram B. Otis, the American Minister, bought Canterville Chase, every one told him he was doing a very foolish thing, as there was no doubt at all that the place washaunted. </span><span>Когда мистер Хайрам Б. Отис, американский посол, решил купить Кентервильский замок, все уверяли его, что он делает ужасную глупость,- было достоверно известно, что в замке обитает привидение. </span><span>Indeed, Lord Canterville himself, who was a man ofthe most punctilious honour, had felt it his duty tomention the fact to Mr. Otis when they came todiscuss terms. </span><span>Сам лорд Кентервиль, человек донельзя щепетильный, даже когда дело касалось сущих пустяков, не преминул при составлении купчей предупредить мистера Отиса. </span><span>"We have not cared to live in the place ourselves," said Lord Canterville, "since my grandaunt, theDowager Duchess of Bolton, was frightened into a fit, from which she never really recovered, by twoskeleton hands being placed on her shoulders as shewas dressing for dinner, and I feel bound to tell you, Mr. Otis, that the ghost has been seen by severalliving members of my family, as well as by the rectorof the parish, the Rev. Augustus Dampier, who is a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. </span><span>- Нас как-то не тянуло в этот замок,- сказал лорд Кентервиль,- с тех пор как с моей двоюродной бабкой, вдовствующей герцогиней Болтон, случился нервный припадок, от которого она так и не оправилась. Она переодевалась к обеду, и вдруг ей на плечи опустились две костлявые руки. Не скрою от вас, мистер Отис, что привидение это являлось также многим ныне здравствующим членам моего семейства. Его видел и наш приходский священник, преподобный Огастес Дэмпир, магистр Королевского колледжа в Кембридже. </span><span>After the unfortunate accident to the Duchess, noneof our younger servants would stay with us, and LadyCanterville often got very little sleep at night, inconsequence of the mysterious noises that camefrom the corridor and the library." </span><span>После этой неприятности с герцогиней вся младшая прислуга ушла от нас, а леди Кен-тервиль совсем лишилась сна: каждую ночь ей слышались какие-то непонятные шорохи в коридоре и библиотеке. </span><span>"My Lord," answered the Minister, "I will take the furniture and the ghost at a valuation. </span><span>- Что ж, милорд,- ответил посол,- пусть привидение идет вместе с мебелью. </span><span>I have come from a modern country, where we haveeverything that money can buy; and with all our spryyoung fellows painting the Old World red, andcarrying off your best actors and prima-donnas, Ireckon that if there were such a thing as a ghost inEurope, we'd have it at home in a very short time inone of our public museums, or on the road as ashow." </span><span>Я приехал из передовой страны, где есть все, что можно купить за деньги. К тому же молодежь у нас бойкая, способная перевернуть весь ваш Старый Свет. Наши молодые люди увозят от вас лучших актрис и оперных примадонн. Так что, заведись в Европе хоть одно привидение, оно мигом очутилось бы у нас в каком-нибудь музее или в разъездном паноптикуме. </span><span>"I fear that the ghost exists," said Lord Canterville, smiling, "though it may have resisted the overtures ofyour enterprising impresarios. </span><span>- Боюсь, что кентервильское привидение все-таки существует,- сказал, улыбаясь, лорд Кентервиль,- хоть оно, возможно, и не соблазнилось предложениями ваших предприимчивых импресарио. </span><span>It has been well known for three centuries, since 1584in fact, and always makes its appearance before thedeath of any member of our family." </span><span>Оно пользуется известностью добрых триста лет,- точнее сказать, с тысяча пятьсот восемьдесят четвертого года,- и неизменно появляется незадолго до кончины кого-нибудь из членов нашей семьи. </span><span>"Well, so does the family doctor for that matter, Lord<span>Canterville</span></span>

Я так понимаю, тебе надо написать что-то вроде эссе в свободной форме о том, каково твое восприятие Великобритании. Тут не просто факты из истории, а больше твое отношение к ним. Вот мой вариант: Nowadays I hear a lot of different facts and opinions about the UK. Some people are keen to move there while other say it's not the best country to live. My personal opinion that Great Britain is definitely worth visiting.First of all, I would love to travel to London to see Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. I think it would be fantastic to experience<span> the spectacular views of the city from high above the River Thames from </span>London Eye.<span> But England is much more than London, so I would enjoy going to Brighton, Leeds Castle, Oxford and Cambridge. And I have a great desire to go to Cardiff, Wales and Edinburgh, Scotland. So, travelling to the UK is one of my intentions. At the same time I understand every country has its own problems, so I'm not sure if I want to move there. But I believe British traditions are worth respecting and this country will keep on developing in the future.</span>
