begin to sparkle in all the colours of the rainbow, to throw Explanation: The storm-cloud looks at a cloudlet which has begun to sparkle in all the colours of the rainbow, as a ruffian looks in perplexity at the child after the child has thrown him. begin to sparkle - засиять all the colours of the rainbow - все цвета радуги to throw, to defeat - класть на обе лопатки Я не претендую на правильный перевод, но надеюсь, что это поможет english native дать более корректный вариант. |
