The Tyrant Lizard raised itself. Its armored flesh glittered like a thousand green coins. The coins, crusted with slime, steamed. In the slime, tiny insects wriggled, so that the entire body seemed to twitch and undulate, even while the monster itself did not move. It exhaled. The stink of raw flesh blew down the wilderness. "Get me out of here," said Eckels. "It was never like this before. I was always sure I'd come through alive. I had good guides, good safaris, and safety. This time, I figured wrong. I've met my match and admit it. This is too much for me to get hold of." "Don't run," said Lesperance. "Turn around. Hide in the Machine." "Yes." Eckels seemed to be numb. He looked at his feet as if trying to make them move. He gave a grunt of helplessness. "Eckels!" He took a few steps, blinking, shuffling. "Not that way!"

The Monster, at the first motion ( чудовище
, при
первом
движении
) , lunged forward with a terrible scream ( рванулось
вперед
с
ужасным
воплем ) . It covered one hundred yards in six seconds ( оно покрыло
сто
ярдов
за
шесть
секунд ) . The rifles jerked up and blazed fire ( винтовки рванулись
вверх
и
сверкнули
огнем ) . A windstorm from the beast's mouth engulfed them ( ураган изо
рта
чудовища
поглотил
их / залпы /) in the stench of slime and old blood ( в зловонии
слизи

старой
крови ) . The Monster roared, teeth glittering with sun ( чудовище взревело

краю
Тропы : blind – слепой , blindly – слепо , безрассудно ) , his gun limp in his arms ( его

его
руках : limp – мягкий ) , stepping off the Path ( сходя

в
сторону : lash – бич , плеть ; to lash – хлестать ) . Trees exploded in clouds of leaf and branch ( деревья взорвались
облаками
листьев
и
веток ) . The Monster twitched its jeweler's hands down to fondle at the men ( чудовище
резко
опустило
вниз
свои
ручки
ювелира
чтобы
приласкать
людей
) , to twist them in half (
их
и
разорвать пополам
) , to crush them like berries ( раздавить
их как
ягоды
) , to cram them into its teeth and its screaming throat ( засунуть
их
в
свои зубы
и
в
вопящую глотку
: to cram – втискивать , обжираться ) . Its boulderstone eyes leveled with the men ( его глаза
, похожие
на
камни , оказались на
уровне
людей : boulder – булыжник , to level – уравнивать ) . They saw themselves mirrored ( они
увидели
свое
отражение ). They fired at the metallic eyelids and the blazing black iris ( они
выстрелили
в
металлические
веки и
в
сверкающую черную
радужку
: iris – радужная оболочка глаза ) . Like a stone idol ( как каменный
идол
) , like a mountain avalanche ( как
горный
обвал
) , Tyrannosaurus fell ( тиранозавр
упал
) .
