Офицеры, прибывавшие в Рим группами по четыре-пять человек, получали каждый по одной-две комнаты в новом белокаменном доме. На этаже имелись три просторные ванные, стены которых мерцали аквамариновыми плитками, и тощая горничная, по имени Микаэла, хихикавшая по всякому поводу, но содержавшая квартиру в образцовом порядке.
On the landing below lived the obsequious owners.Этажом ниже жили владельцы дома, державшиеся весьма подобострастно.
On the landing above lived the beautiful rich black-haired Countess and her beautiful, rich black-haired daughter-in-law, both of whom would put out only for Nately, who was too shy to want them, and for Aarfy, who was too stuffy to take them and tried to dissuade them from ever putting out for anyone but their husbands, who had chosen to remain in the north with the family's business interests. 'They're really a couple of good kids,' Aarfy confided earnestly to Yossarian, whose recurring dream it was to have the nude milk-white female bodies of both these beautiful rich black-haired good kids lying stretched out in bed erotically with him at the same time.Этажом выше - красивая богатая темноволосая графиня и ее красивая богатая темноволосая невестка.
The enlisted men descended upon Rome in gangs of twelve or more with Gargantuan appetites and heavy crates filled with canned food for the women to cook and serve to them in the dining room of their own apartment on the sixth floor of a red brick building with a clinking elevator.Нижние чины - сержанты и рядовые - прибывали в Рим дюжинами, привозя с собой аппетиты Гаргантюа и тяжелые корзины, набитые консервами. Корзины вручались женщинам, которые стряпали и подавали на стол.
There was always more activity at the enlisted men's place. There were always more enlisted men, to begin with, and more women to cook and serve and sweep and scrub, and then there were always the gay and silly sensual young girls that Yossarian had found and brought there and those that the sleepy enlisted men returning to Pianosa after their exhausting seven-day debauch had brought there on their own and were leaving behind for whoever wanted them next.В квартире для нижних чинов было веселее, чем у офицеров. Кроме того, там всегда хватало веселых, молодых, соблазнительных девчонок. Приводил их туда Йоссариан. Нижние чины после семидневного разгула оставляли девчонок на милость, всякому, кому они понадобятся, и возвращались со слипающимися глазами на Пьяносу.
The girls had shelter and food for as long as they wanted to stay.
