(он увидел заднюю стену дома; to behold – видеть, замечать, узреть). It was of considerable extent (он был значительного размера: «протяженности»; extent – пространство, протяжение, расстояние, протяженность; размер, величина), and plainly habitable (и, очевидно, обитаем); but, in odd contrast to the grounds, it was crazy (но, в странном контрасте с садом, он был ветхий), ill-kept (в плохом состоянии: «плохо содержащийся»; to keep – зд.: содержать), and of a mean appearance (и захудалого вида; mean – убогий, жалкий, захудалый, запущенный). On all other sides the circuit of the garden wall appeared unbroken (со всех других сторон окружность садовой стены казалась непрерывной; broken – сломанный, прерванный: от to break – ломать).

 He came to himself a moment afterwards, seated in a border of small rosebushes. His hands and knees were cut and bleeding, for the wall had been protected against such an escalade by a liberal provision of old bottles; and he was conscious of a general dislocation and a painful swimming in the head. Facing him across the garden, which was in admirable order, and set with flowers of the most delicious perfume, he beheld the back of a house. It was of considerable extent, and plainly habitable; but, in odd contrast to the grounds, it was crazy, ill-kept, and of a mean appearance. On all other sides the circuit of the garden wall appeared unbroken.

He took in these features of the scene with mechanical glances (он разглядел: «вобрал» эти детали пейзажа механическими взглядами), but his mind was still unable to piece together (но его разум был все еще неспособен составить цельную картину: «вместе») or draw a rational conclusion from what he saw (или извлечь разумный вывод из того, что он видел). And when he heard footsteps advancing on the gravel (и когда он услышал шаги, приближавшиеся по гравию), although he turned his eyes in that direction (хотя он и обратил глаза в том направлении), it was with no thought either for defence or flight (это было /сделано/ без мысли и о защите, и о побеге). The new-comer was a large, coarse, and very sordid personage (новоприбывший был большим, грубым и очень отталкивающим человеком), in gardening clothes (в одежде садовника), and with a watering-pot in his left hand (и с лейкой в левой руке). One less confused would have been affected with some alarm (человек, менее растерянный, был бы встревожен: «задет тревогой») at the sight of this man’s huge proportions (при виде огромного роста этого человека) and black and lowering eyes (и /его/ черных и угрюмых глаз).

But Harry was too gravely shaken by his fall (но Гарри был слишком сильно оглушен: «потрясен» своим падением) to be so much as terrified (чтобы даже просто испугаться); and if he was unable to divert his glances from the gardener (и раз он был неспособен отвести взгляд от садовника), he remained absolutely passive (он оставался совершенно бездеятельным)
