Yaroslavsky Station

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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."

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

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

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

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

O jednej hodine sa vlak pohol. Nástupište sa vzďaľovalo.

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

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

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

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