Across the reddened drifts and the mail-clad forms, two figures glared at each other. In all that utter desolation, they alone moved. The frosty sky was over them, the white illimitable plain around them, the dead men at their feet. Slowly through the corpses they came, as ghosts might come to a tryst through the shambles of a dead world. In the brooding silence, they stood face to face.

Both were tall men (оба были высокими мужчинами), built as powerfully as tigers (сложенными /так/ мощно, как тигры). Their shields were gone (их щиты «были уйденными» = пропали, потерялись), their corselets battered and dented (их латы помяты и посечены). Blood dried on their mail; their swords were stained red (кровь засохла на их кольчуге, их мечи были окрашены красным). Their horned helmets showed the marks of fierce strokes (их рогатые шлемы показывали отметины яростных ударов). One was beardless and black-maned (один был безбородым и черноволосым); the locks and beard of the other were as red as the blood on the sunlit snow (локоны/волосы и борода другого были /такие/ красные/рыжие, как кровь на освещаемом солнцем снегу).

‘Man,’ said the latter (парень/мужик, — сказал последний/второй), ‘tell me your name (скажи мне твое имя), so that my brothers in Vanaheim may know (чтобы мои братья в Ванахейме могли знать / знали) who was the last of Wulfhere’s band to fall before the sword of Heimdul.’ (кто был последним из Вулферовского отряда / банды пасть = кто пал последним перед мечом Хеймдула).

‘Not in Vanaheim,’ growled the black-haired warrior, ‘but in Valhalla shall you tell your brothers that you met Conan of Cimmeria!’ (Не в Ванахейме, — прорычал черноволосый воин, — а в Вальгалле скажешь ты твоим братьям, что ты встретил Конана из Киммерии = Киммерийского!; shall tell — скажешь: «будешь сказать»; to growl — рычать, рявкнуть)
