«That's right (это верно),» Little John said. «And now will you come with us (а теперь, пойдешь ли ты с нами = иди с нами)? Robin is waiting for his dinner (Робин ждет обеда). He told us to find somebody to have dinner with him (он велел нам найти кого-нибудь, с кем бы он мог пообедать).»
about [q'baut], money ['mAnI], lot [lOt], never ['nevq], women ['wImIn], field [fi:ld], forest ['fOrIst], somebody ['sAmbqdI]
«I know about Robin Hood,» said the knight. «He is a good man. He takes money from those who have a lot, but he gives it to the poor. He never takes anything from women or from good yeomen who work in the fields or in the forest.»
«That's right,» Little John said. «And now will you come with us? Robin is waiting for his dinner. He told us to find somebody to have dinner with him.»
«I wasn't going to have any dinner today (я не собирался = не надеялся пообедать сегодня),» the knight said. «I'll come with you gladly (я с радостью пойду с вами).»
Little John and Much brought the knight to Robin Hood (Малыш Джон и Мук отвели рыцаря к Робину Гуду; to bring — приносить, привозить; приводить /с собой/).
«Welcome, Sir Knight (добро пожаловать, сэр рыцарь),» said Robin. «I am Sir Richard of the Lee (я — сэр Ричард из Ли),» said the knight.
«Then, Sir Richard, let us have dinner (тогда, сэр Ричард, давай пообедаем).»

«Then, Sir Richard, let us have dinner.»
It was a very good dinner (обед был очень хорошим). There was fish from the river (была рыба из реки), deer from the forest (олень из леса) — as much as the knight could eat (столько, сколько: «так много как» рыцарь мог съесть).
«I haven't had a dinner like that for a long time, Robin (я так не обедал очень давно, Робин),» he said. «Thank you (благодарю тебя)!»

«Do you want to pay something for it (не хочешь ли ты заплатить чем-нибудь за него)?» Robin Hood asked. «If you do (если ты заплатишь), I can give food like that to other people, poor people (я смогу дать пищу, подобную этой, другим людям, бедным людям).»
