Jaroslavská stanica

Jaroslavská stanica v Moskve má zelené a biele vežičky a špicaté strechy. Bola postavená v roku 1902.

Yaroslavsky Station in Moscow has green and white turrets and pointed roofs. It was built in 1902.

Polly priletela nízko cez mesto. Moskva v júni bola teplá. Okrúžila stanicu a pristála na prístrešku.

Polly came in low through the city. Moscow in June was warm. She circled the station and landed on the canopy.

Transsibírska železnica začína tu. Vedie na východ 9 289 kilometrov, cez celú Rusko. Končí vo Vladivostoku pri Tichom oceáne. Trať bola dokončená v roku 1916. Je to najdlhšia železnica na svete. Hlavný vlak sa volá Rossiya. Odchádza z Moskvy o jednej popoludní. Do Vladivostoku dorazí o sedem dní neskôr.

The Trans-Siberian Railway begins here. It runs east for 9,289 kilometres, all the way across Russia. It ends at Vladivostok on the Pacific. The line was finished in 1916. It is the longest railway in the world. The main train is called the Rossiya. It leaves Moscow at one in the afternoon. It arrives in Vladivostok seven days later.

Polly mala miesto pri okne v druhej triede. Jej kupé malo dve horné a dve dolné lôžka a malý stolík.

Polly had a window seat in second class. Her compartment had two upper and two lower bunks and a small table.

Dve lôžka boli obsadené. Jedno tichou staršou ženou, ktorá čítala. Druhé mladým mužom s laptopom. Keď uvidel Polly, povedal "OK."

Two bunks were taken. One by a quiet older woman reading. The other by a young man with a laptop. He saw Polly and said "OK."

Polly skočila na stolík a pozrela sa von oknom. Nástupište bolo rušné.

Polly hopped onto the table and looked out the window. The platform was busy.

O jednej hodine sa vlak pohol. Nástupište sa vzďaľovalo.

At one o'clock, the train moved. The platform slid away.

Za pol hodiny sa Moskva zmenila na predmestia. Za hodinu na malé drevené domy nazývané chaty. Za dve hodiny na les.

In half an hour, Moscow had thinned to suburbs. In an hour, to small wooden houses called dachas. In two hours, to forest.

Staršia žena zdvihla oči od knihy. "Prvýkrát?" spýtala sa. "Je to dlhá cesta. Urobte si pohodlie."

The older woman looked up from her book. "First time?" she said. "It is a long way. Settle in."
