An Old Woman became almost totally blind because of an illness of the eyes. She went to consult [kən'sʌlt] a Doctor. The Doctor examined the woman. She said she would pay him a lot of money if she recovered and nothing if she didn't.

The Doctor began his treatment and every time he paid the Old Woman a visit, he took away with him some furniture or some picture, a silver plate or a silver cup, forks, knives or spoons.

When the treatment was over, there was nothing left. The Old Woman saw that the house was empty and she refused to pay the Doctor the promised money. The Doctor took the Old Woman to the court, but she was ready with her defence.

The woman said, "The Doctor has told you the right facts. I agreed to pay him a lot of money if I recovered and nothing if I didn't. Now the Doctor says I have recovered, but I say that I'm blinder than ever. I can prove what I say. When my eyes were bad, I could at any rate¹ see well enough to know that there is much furniture and other things in my house. But now I can't see anything there at all."

2. Как вы думаете, кто победит: старушка или доктор?

Ответ:

1) An Old Woman became totally blind, didn't she? Yes, she did. She became almost totally blind because of an illness. / Да, стала. Она стала почти совсем слепой из-за болезни.

2) The Doctor began his treatment in a strange way, didn't he? Yes, he did. He took away some furniture every time he visited her. / Да, начал. Он забирал мебель каждый раз, когда навещал ее.

3) Soon there was nothing left in the house, was there? No, there wasn't. When the treatment was over, the house was empty. / Нет, не осталось. Когда лечение закончилось, дом был пуст.

4) The house was empty, wasn't it? Yes, it was. The Old Woman saw that her house was empty. / Да, был. Старушка увидела, что ее дом пуст.

5) In the court the Old Woman was ready with her defence, wasn't she? Yes, she was. The text says "she was ready with her defence". / Да, была. В тексте говорится: "она была готова к своей защите".

6) The Doctor has told the court the right facts, hasn't he? Yes, he has. The Old Woman herself said: "The Doctor has told you the right facts." / Да, изложил. Старушка сама сказала: "Доктор изложил вам верные факты".

7) The Old Woman didn't want to pay the Doctor anything, did she? No, she didn't. She refused to pay him because she claimed she was not cured. / Нет, не хотела. Она отказалась платить ему, потому что утверждала, что не излечилась.

8) The Old Woman can't see anything in the house, can she? No, she can't. She said that she couldn't see any of her furniture. / Нет, не видит. Она сказала, что не видит никакой своей мебели.

2. I think the Old Woman will win. She was very clever. She proved that her sight was worse than before because before she could see her furniture, and now she couldn't see it at all. This means the Doctor's treatment was not successful, so she doesn't have to pay him. / Я думаю, что победит старушка. Она была очень умна. Она доказала, что ее зрение стало хуже, чем раньше, потому что раньше она могла видеть свою мебель, а теперь не видит ее совсем. Это означает, что лечение доктора не было успешным, поэтому она не должна ему платить.
