perfume [ˈpə:fju:m], apparent [əˈpærənt], realize [ˈrɪəlaɪz]

 

"I smelled the perfume you put on your hair, when you came to my cell," answered Conan. "I smelled it again a while ago, when I was crouching in the dark and preparing to rip you open."

Murilo put a lock of his black hair to his nostrils; even so the scent was barely apparent to his civilized senses, and he realized how keen must be the organs of the barbarian.

 

Instinctively his hand went to his scabbard as they groped onward (инстинктивно его рука метнулась к ножнам, когда они ощупью шли вперед; to go — идти; двигаться), and he cursed to find it empty (и выругался, обнаружив их пустыми). At that moment a faint glow became apparent ahead of them (в этот момент слабый отблеск показался перед ними; to become — становиться; apparent — видный, видимый), and presently they came to a sharp bend in the corridor (и вскоре они подошли к крутому повороту в коридоре; sharp — острый; крутой, резкий /о повороте/), about which the light filtered grayly (из-за которого просачивался сумрачный свет; to filter — фильтровать; просачиваться; gray — серый; сумрачный). Together they peered around the corner (они вместе заглянули за угол), and Murilo, leaning against his companion, felt his huge frame stiffen (и Мурило, опершись на своего товарища, ощутил, как застыло его огромное тело; to feel; frame — скелет; тело;to stiffen — застыть). The young nobleman had also seen it (молодой дворянин тоже увидел это) — the body of a man, half naked (тело мужчины, полуобнаженное), lying limply in the corridor beyond the bend (лежащее безвольно в коридоре за поворотом), vaguely illumined by a radiance which seemed to emanate from a broad silver disk on the farther wall (тускло освещенное сиянием, которое, казалось, исходит от широкого серебристого диска на дальней стене).
