1.Suggest the Ukrainian for the following.
(After W.S. Maugham 1 )
Sir Edgar Swift was in the Indian Service and had a distinguished career. He had been for five years Governor of the North-West Provinces and had finished his term with reputation of being the most capable man in India. He had proved himself a great administrator, though resolute he was tactful, and if he was peremptory he was also generous and moderate. Tall and spare in his well-cut blue serge, he looked both athletic and distinguished. Mary knew he was a good tennis player, a fine rider and an excellent shot. Taking off his hat he displayed a thick head of black curling hair hardly touched with grey. His face was bronzed by the Indian sun, a lean face with a strong chin and an aquiline nose; his brown eyes under the heavy brows were deep-set and vigilant. Fifty-four? He did not look a day more than forty-five. A handsome man in the prime of life. He had dignity without arrogance. He inspired you with confidence. He wasted no time on small talk. He was ambitious. He liked power and was not afraid of responsibility. He was the slave to his integrity.
Rowley was not a good-looking man. He had a tolerable figure, but he was of average height. He had not a single figure that you could call good: he had white teeth, but they were not very even; he had a fresh colour, but not a very clear skin; he had a good head of hear, but it was between dark and fair; his eyes were large, but they were pallid blue. He had an air of dissipation and people who didn’t like him said he looked shifty. It was freely admitted he couldn’t be trusted. He had a bad record. When he was twenty he married a girl who was engaged to somebody else, and three years later his wife divorced him. He was not just over thirty. He was in short a young man with a shocking reputation which he deserved.
It was a strange contrast he made with Edgar as he walked across the terrace. Edgar, with his height and his spareness, had looked wonderfully distinguished; he had a natural dignity and the assured air of a man who had been accustomed for many years to the obedience of others. Rowley, rather short, rather stocky, wearing his clothes as though they were a workman’s overalls, slouched across, with his hands as usual in his pockets, with a kind of lazy impudence, debonair and careless, which Mary was bound to admit, had a certain attractiveness. With his smiling mouth and the good-humoured mockery of his gray eyes, a person who was easy to get on with. It suddenly occurred to Mary why notwithstanding his faults she felt so much at ease with him you could entirely be yourself. You never had to pretend.
