2. Perhaps it was this (возможно, из-за этого = не знаю, что на меня так повлияло, может, качка) — perhaps it was the look of the island with its grey, melancholy woods, and wild stone spires (может быть, вид острова с его серыми, унылыми лесами и дикими каменными вершинами), an the surf that we could both see and hear foaming an thundering on the steep beach (и прибой, который мы могли и видеть, и слышать, как он пенится и бьется в крутой берег) — at least, although the sun shone bright and hot (хотя солнце сияло ярко и горячо), and the shore birds were fishing and crying all around us (и прибрежные птицы ловили рыбу и кричали вокруг нас), and you would have thought anyone would have been glad to get to land after being so long at sea (и вы бы подумали, что всякий был бы рад добраться до суши после такого долгого пребывания в море = плавания), my heart sank, as the saying is, into my boots (у меня сердце ушло, как говорится, в пятки: «ботинки»; to sink — падать, слабеть; оседать, тонуть); and from that first look onward (и с того первого взгляда; onward — вперед, дальше), I hated the very thought of Treasure Island (я возненавидел саму мысль об Острове Сокровищ).

1. We had a dreary morning's work before us (нам предстояла тяжелая работа в то утро: «мы имели тоскливую работу перед нами»; dreary — мрачный, тоскливый, безотрадный), for there was no sign of any wind (потому что не было ни /единого/ признака ветра), and the boats had to be got out and manned (лодки = шлюпки должны были быть спущены и наполнены людьми = нам пришлось спустить шлюпки;
