0 Для начала, у него не было никакой уверенности в том, что был 1984 год.

0 Он окинул улицу быстрым взглядом, а тогда проскользнул внутрь и купил книгу за два с половиной доллара.

April 4th, 1984.

0 Он написал маленькими неуклюжими буквами: 4-ое апреля, 1984 года.

just a second.
just a second.
0 Он мокнул ручку в чернило и на секунду заколебался.
→The pen was an archaic instrument, seldom
used even for signatures, and he had procured one, furtively and with some
difficulty, simply because of a feeling that the beautiful creamy paper deserved
to be written on with a real nib instead of being scratched with an ink-pencil.

0 Ручка была устаревшим инструментом, использовалась редко даже для подписей, и он добыл одну, тайно и с трудом, только потому что ему казалось, кремовая бумага достойна настоящего пера вместо царапающего чернильного карандаша.
→Apart from very short notes, it was
usual to dictate everything into the speak-write which was of course impossible
for his present purpose.

0 На самом деле он раньше не писал от руки.
→This was not illegal
(nothing was illegal, since there were no longer any laws), but if detected it was
reasonably certain that it would be punished by death, or at least by twentyfive
years in a forced-labour camp.

0 Это не было противозаконным (не было ничего противозаконного, поскольку законов больше не существовало), но если бы книгу обнаружили, несомненно приговорили бы к смертной казни, или как минимум к двадцати пяти годам в трудовом лагере.

home in his briefcase.

1 Он виновато принёс её домой в портфеле.
→Party members
were supposed not to go into ordinary shops (’dealing on the free market’, it was

such as shoelaces and razor blades, which it was impossible to get hold of in any
other way.

0 Предполагалось, что члены партии не должны посещать обычные магазины (это называлось"покупать на вольном рынке"), но правило соблюдалось не строго, потому что многие вещи, такие как шнурки и лезвия для бритвы, было невозможно достать иным способом.
→He had seen it lying in the window of a frowsy little junk-shop in a slummy
quarter of the town (just what quarter he did not now remember) and had been

0 Он увидел её в витрине грязной лавки старьёвщика в трущобном квартале города (в каком именно, он сейчас не помнил) и тотчас его охватило непреодолимое желание обладать ею.
