  1. A

    Всё, приехали, сели по самые двери. Вместо того чтобы по трассе ехать, ты решил срезать!

    That's it, we've had it, we're stuck up to the doors. Instead of sticking to the highway, you decided to take a shortcut!

  2. B

    Не ворчи, смотри, трактор едет! Извините, вы не могли бы нас вытащить?

    Stop grumbling, look, there's a tractor coming! Excuse me, could you pull us out?

  3. C

    Весной тут только трактор и проедет. Сейчас трос зацеплю, а вы газуйте потихоньку.

    In spring only a tractor gets through here. I'll hook up the cable now, and you give it a little gas.

  4. A

    С горем пополам, но выбрались! Спасибо вам огромное, сколько мы вам должны?

    It was a struggle, but we're out! Thank you so much, how much do we owe you?

  5. C

    Да бросьте, какие деньги. А вот просьба у меня одна есть.

    Oh, come on, what money? But I do have one favour to ask.

  6. B

    Конечно, говорите! Всё, что в наших силах.

    Of course, go ahead! Anything we can do.

  7. C

    Внук на автобус опаздывает, а на тракторе я до города не успею. Подбросите его до автовокзала?

    My grandson is about to miss his bus, and I won't get to town in time on the tractor. Could you give him a lift to the bus station?
