1 Mid-World
сущ.; собст.; SK, DT••I.Основная территория, на которой располагался Альянс, союзное государство феодов. На момент повествования главным оплотом Альянса оставался только Гилеад, который также считался столицей Альянса.… in the lower town of Gilead, Barony seat of New Canaan, one small mote of land located in the western regions of Mid-World. — …в Нижнем городе Гилеада, откуда барон правил Нью-Канааном, маленьким феодом, затерянным в западных землях Срединного мира. (ТБ 4)
••II.Однако в новом издании Стрелка подразумевается, что Роланд из Гилеада никогда не бывал в Срединном Мире, а область, называемая Срединным Миром, начиналась от берега моря за горной грядой, где Роланд нагнал Человека в черном.He had heard rumor of other lands beyond this, green lands in a place called Mid-World, but it was hard to believe. Out here, green lands seemed like a child’s fantasy. — До него доходили какие-то смутные слухи об иных землях, зеленых землях за пределами этого края – их называют Срединным миром, – но верилось в это с трудом. Зеленые земли в здешнем пустынном краю – это как детская сказка. (ТБ 1, r.)
The golgotha was a bowl indented into the descending slope of the mountain, and below, in easier altitudes, the gunslinger could see Joshua trees and scrub firs. The sky overhead was a softer blue than he had seen for a twelvemonth, and there was an indefinable something that spoke of the sea in the not-too-great distance. / I am in the West, Cuthbert, he thought wonderingly. If this is not Mid-World, it’s close by. — Голгофа. Чашеобразная впадина в пологом откосе горы. Ниже по склону стрелок разглядел деревья: карликовые ели и юкку – дерево Иисуса. Небо над головой – нежного голубого цвета. Такого неба стрелок не видел уже целый год. В воздухе веяло чем-то неописуемым, но говорящим о близости моря. / Вот я и на Западе, Катберт, – удивленно подумал стрелок. Если это еще не Срединный мир, то все равно уже близко. (ТБ 1, r.)
