Unit 3 Appearance and CharacterThe attitude of people to a person depends on many things: his character, mind, manners, behaviour, abilities and appearance. If a person is good-looking, he feels more confident. Unfortunately, to be pretty or handsome doesn't mean to be happy. Very often beautiful people are stupid, stubborn and arrogant. And unattractive people can be intelligent, kind and generous. That's why people say: "Do not judge by appearance". I have many friends, but Jane Brown and Andy Johnson are my special friends. Andy is tall and lean. Jane is of medium height. She isn't slim, she is pretty plump. Andy is strong and well-built. As for Jane, she doesn't care about her figure. She is never on a diet and hates doing morning exercises. That's why she often puts on weight. Andy took after his father in appearance and character. His face is long and thin. His features are regular. He has got large wide-set and deep-set eyes. They are hazel. His nose is straight, his cheeks are hollow. He has full lips. He is a brunette. He has got dark straight thick hair. My classmates envy that my bosom friend is Andy. I respect many traits of his character. He is honest, brave, and cheerful with a good sense of humour. He is always the life and soul of the party. I am proud of my friend because he is caring, faithful and sincere. He is always ready to help me when it is necessary. We have much in common, we spend plenty of time together and I appreciate his charming personality more than his appearance. Jane looks like her mother. She is a blue-eyed girl. Everybody admires her expressive shining eyes. She has got thick long eyelashes. Her eyebrows are penciled; her nose is small and snub. Jane has plump cheeks with dimples in them. She never worries about her hairdo, because she has got beautiful, long, thick, curly hair. She thinks she would look nicer with a short haircut, and wants to change the colour of her hair, but her mother doesn't let her do it. To look more attractive she sometimes wears make-up. Now let me give a touch on Jane's character. It is easy to get along with her. People find her sociable and easygoing. Nobody can call her selfish, greedy, ill-bred or angry. She is reserved, modest and good-tempered. I think she is of a romantic nature; she is interested in music, art, theatre. She is keen on literature, especially she likes poems.

*Ex. 90. Read and translate the passages. A. The colonel is a fine-looking man. His hair is white. So is his moustache. His face is cleanly shaven showing a bronzed complexion. The expression of his face is kind though firm. The colonel has three sons. Basil, the eldest of the boys, is seventeen years of age. He is a fine-looking lad though not handsome. He looks very brave and strong. His hair is straight and black. He is, in fact, the son of his father. How very unlike him is Lucien, the second of age. Lucien is delicate, with a light complexion and very fair hair. He is more like what his mother was, for she was a blonde. The colonel's youngest son is a quick-witted, curly-haired boy -cheerful at all times. B. Among the passengers there were two who interested me very much. One, a man of about thirty, was one of the tallest men I ever saw. He had yellow hair, a thick yellow beard, a handsome face and large eyes. His face made me think of someone I had seen before but at the time I could not remember who it was. The big man's name was Sir Henry Curtis. The other man was short, stout and dark. He was always very neat and clean-shaven; he always wore an eye-glass in his right eye, and he never took it out. At first I thought he even slept in it, but afterwards found that this was not so. He put it in his trousers pocket when he went to bed, together with his false teeth, of which he had two beautiful sets. (H.R. Haggard) С. Cedric was not tall, but broad-shouldered, long-armed and powerfully-made. His face was broad with large blue eyes, open and frank features, fine teeth and a well-formed head. He was frank but of a nasty temper. There was pride and jealousy in his eyes, for his life had been spent in maintaining his rights. His long yellow hair was not very grey, although he was almost sixty. (W. Scott)

Ex. 95. Render the story in English.
Рекомендательные письма Один джентльмен подал объявление о том, что ему нужен помощник в офисе. Около 50 юношей ответили на рекламу. Джентльмен вскоре выбрал одного, остальным отказал. Его друг спросил: "Хотел бы я знать, на каком основании ты выбрал этого юношу. Ведь у него не было ни одной рекомендации". "Ты ошибаешься, — сказал джентльмен, — их было много. Он вытер ноги, когда вошел, закрыл за собой дверь. Ясно, что он аккуратен и любит порядок. Он немедленно уступил место старому человеку, показывая, что он добр и предупредителен. Он снял шляпу, когда вошел, и отвечал на мои вопросы быстро и уважительно, показывая, что он вежлив. Он поднял книгу, которую я намеренно положил на пол до этого, и положил ее на стол, тогда как все остальные перешагивали через нее. Это показывает, что он очень внимателен. Он спокойно ждал своей очереди, а не расталкивал других. Это говорит о том, что он скромен. Когда я говорил с ним, я видел, что его одежда чистая, волосы причесаны, зубы белые. Когда он писал свое имя, я заметил, что у него чистые ногти. Разве ты не назовешь все эти вещи рекомендательными письмами? То, что я могу увидеть собственными глазами за 10 минут, стоит больше, чем все прекрасные письма, которые ты можешь принести с собой."
*Ex. 96. Render in English close to the text. A. У деда моего были огненно-рыжие волосы и обычная для рыжих людей красноватая в веснушках кожа. Когда я впервые увидела его, это был пятидесятилетний мужчина, худощавый, с грустным выражением лица. Говорил он всегда негромко и спокойно. Жена его была маленькой женщиной с черными глазами навыкате. Ее гладкие тусклые (dull) волосы были тщательно затянуты в тугой узел. Лицо у нее было вытянутое, как у овцы, но она не производила впечатления глупой. Быстрые птичьи (bird-like) движения. Самым примечательным в ней был голос - высокий, металлический, лишенный интонаций. Выглядела она старше своих лет. Дед мой был очень общительным человеком (a good mixer). В его доме бывали разные люди. Я запомнила особенно хорошо одного. Это был его друг. Человек добрейшей души. Внешность его была своеобразной (singular). Он был высок и тощ, с длинными, словно развинченными (loosely jointed) руками и ногами, впалыми щеками и торчащими скулами. Лицо его было таким бледным, что его полные чувственные (sensual) губы казались особенно удивительными. Он носил длинные волосы. Его темные, глубоко посаженные глаза были большими и печальными, а руки с большими длинными пальцами были красивой формы и придавали ему вид человека, обладающего большой физической силой. В. Ее глаза под густыми ресницами казались совсем темными. Цвет ее глаз поражал еще и потому, что был совершенно необычен для блондинки. Веки были полуопущены, что было характерным для нее, когда она была поглощена своими мыслями. У нее были четко очерченные, довольно густые брови. С первого взгляда ее лицо с чуть выступающими скулами и мягкими линиями (curves) казалось классически правильным. Но стоило присмотреться и оказывалось, что нос у нее несколько неправильной формы, рот большой, а губы полные и крепкие. Лицо ее было удивительно женственно и вместе с тем энергично. Волосы она гладко зачесывала назад и повязывала вокруг головы черную ленточку.

DIALOGUES
Ex. 98. Read the dialogues and render them in indirect speech. 1. A: If you are not too busy, come one evening and have dinner with us. I'll introduce you to all my people. B: Is your family large? A: Yes, our family is quite a big one. There are eight of us. I have two sisters and three brothers. B: Are your sisters as pretty as you are? A: Oh, they are both prettier than me. Ruth is the prettiest girl I know. They both have long fair hair, but Ruth's hair is longer and fairer than Margaret's. Margaret is fatter than Ruth. She doesn't like you to say she is fat; and we tell her she will get thinner when she gets older. B: Tell me about the others in your family, Ann. A: Well, the youngest and the smallest one is Fred; he is the baby of the family. He is only four. Then there are Hans and Peter, the twins. They are exactly as old as each other, thirteen, and exactly as tall as each other, and they are so much alike that people can hardly tell one from the other. 2. A: Why do you look so worried, Helen? H: The news of my daughter's engagement has nearly killed me in fact. A: I thought you liked John. H: I hardly know him. All that was so unexpected. A: You'll learn to love him when you know him better. I'm sure he'll prove to be a good husband and an affectionate son. I've known him for years. H: But he looks so strange. So very tall, with small head flat at the top, too large green eyes, big ears and that long sharp nose of his. Besides he looks old for his age. A: Oh, you are exaggerating things. True, he's a bit too tall but his big green eyes are clever, intelligent eyes. H: I wish his face were not so ugly. A: Why, I like his face: there's something awfully nice about it. He isn't ugly at all, especially when he smiles and shows those perfect teeth of his. H: I thought Ella would choose Henry. He is serious and decidedly handsome. They would make such a nice couple. A: You'll never make me agree with you. Henry is good-looking, indeed, but there's something unkind in the look of his grey eyes. I always feel uncomfortable when he looks at me. It's wise of your daughter to have chosen John. Remember: appearances are deceitful; a fair face may hide a foul soul.

Китти: Почему ты не танцуешь с Генри? Долли: Потому что мы составляем очень смешную пару: он маленький, толстенький и лысый, я высокая, худая и бледная. Китти: Чушь, дорогая. Он вовсе не маленький, он среднего роста. И к тому же он прекрасно танцует. Долли: Да, я знаю. Но я предпочитаю танцевать с Билли. У него длинные ноги, стройная фигура, и он тоже прекрасный танцор, не правда ли? Китти: Да, это так. И мне нравится его лицо. Оно может показаться безобразным, но в нем есть что-то очень привлекательное. Долли: Но он вовсе не безобразный, особенно когда улыбается и видны его ровные белые зубы. Китти: И все же Генри решительно красив, а Билли - нет. Долли: Но есть что-то очень недоброе во взгляде его серых глаз. Я всегда чувствую себя неуютно, когда он смотрит на меня. Китти: Кстати, у Билли есть брат близнец, довольно красивый парень. Долли: Да, я видела его. Он похож на мать, а Билли пошел в отца. Китти: Я должна сказать, что не люблю красивых мужчин. Я предпочитаю, чтобы мужчина был умным, добрым, щедрым. Долли: Я совершенно согласна с тобой, но танцевать я предпочитаю с красивыми мужчинами.
