Что-то мне нехорошо, Сань. Качает так, что я совсем не в своей тарелке.
I'm not feeling too good, Sanya. It's rocking so much I'm completely out of sorts.

Ха, ты же зелёный, как огурец! А ещё говорил, что ты моряк в душе.
Ha, you're as green as a cucumber! And you said you were a sailor at heart.

Не смейтесь, молодой человек, это с каждым бывает. А вы смотрите на горизонт, способ проверенный.
Don't laugh, young man, it happens to everyone. And you, keep your eyes on the horizon, it's a proven trick.

Спасибо, попробую. А бутерброд съесть можно, или лучше не рисковать?
Thanks, I'll try. And can I eat a sandwich, or is it better not to risk it?

Сейчас лучше не ешьте, поешьте потом, на острове. И дышите глубже, ветер поможет.
Better not eat now, eat later, on the island. And breathe deeply, the wind will help.

Well, I'll eat mine, what do I care. I never get seasick!

Приплыли, Сань! Я как огурчик, а ты чего такой зелёный?
We're here, Sanya! I'm fresh as a daisy, so why are you so green?
