She said:

"Do you know that it's nearly nine o'clock, sir (вы знаете, что /уже/ около девяти часов, сэр)?"

"Nine o' what (девять чего)?" I cried, starting up (вскричал я, вскакивая).

IT was Mrs. Poppets that woke me up next morning.

She said:

"Do you know that it's nearly nine o'clock, sir?"

"Nine o' what?" I cried, starting up.

"Nine o'clock," she replied, through the keyhole (ответила она через замочную скважину; keyhole: key — ключ; hole — дыра, отверстие, прорезь). "I thought you was a-oversleeping yourselves (я подумала, вы просыпаете)."

I woke Harris, and told him (я разбудил Гарриса и сказал ему /что произошло/; to tell). He said:

"I thought you wanted to get up at six (я думал, ты хочешь встать в шесть)?"

"So I did (да)," I answered (ответил я); "why didn't you wake me (почему ты не разбудил меня)?"

"How could I wake you, when you didn't wake me (как я мог разбудить тебя, если ты не разбудил меня)?" he retorted (возразил он). "Now we shan't get on the water till after twelve (теперь мы не попадем на воду раньше двенадцати; shan't = shall not). I wonder you take the trouble to get up at all (удивляюсь, /зачем/ ты вообще берешь на себя труд вставать; to take the trouble — взять на себя труд, утруждаться)."

"How could I wake you, when you didn't wake me?" he retorted. "Now we shan't get on the water till after twelve. I wonder you take the trouble to get up at all."

"Um (гм)," I replied (ответил я), "lucky for you that I do (твое счастье, что я встал). If I hadn't woke you, you'd have lain there for the whole fortnight (если бы я не разбудил тебя, ты бы пролежал все две недели; to lie-lay-lain)."

We snarled at one another in this strain for the next few minutes (мы огрызались друг на друга в таком духе следующие несколько минут; strain — напряжение; тон /речи/), when we were interrupted by a defiant snore from George (когда = пока не были прерваны дерзким/вызывающим храпом /исходящим/ от Джорджа).

It reminded us, for the first time since our being called, of his existence (он /храп/ напомнил нам, впервые, с тех пор как нас разбудили, о его существовании; to call — звать, окликать; /раз/будить).

There he lay — the man who had wanted to know what time he should wake us (вот он лежит — человек, который спрашивал: «хотел знать», когда ему разбудить нас) — on his back, with his mouth wide open, and his knees stuck up (на спине, с широко открытым ртом и коленями торчком; to stick up — выдаваться, стоять торчком).

I don't know why it should be, I am sure (не знаю почему, я уверен = точно не знаю); but the sight of another man asleep in bed when I am up, maddens me (но вид другого человека, спящего в постели, когда я встал, доводит меня до бешенства). It seems to me so shocking to see the precious hours of a man's life (мне настолько возмутительно видеть, как драгоценные часы человеческой жизни) — the priceless moments that will never come back to him again (бесценные мгновения, которые никогда не вернутся к нему снова) — being wasted in mere brutish sleep (тратятся впустую на всего лишь скотский сон; brutish — животный, грубый, зверский; brute — животное, скотина).
