Анекдот - Ранний поезд

The student asked the servant (попросил слугу) to wake him at dawn (разбудить его на заре) because he was to take an early train (так как ему нужно было попасть на ранний поезд).
The servant did so (так и сделал).
Not wishing (не желая) to wake the rabbi, the student groped in the dark for his clothes (нащупал в темноте свою одежду) and, in his haste (в спешке), he put on (надел) the long rabbinical gabardine (длинный габардин рабби — длиннополый кафтан из грубого сукна).
He hurried to the station (поспешил на станцию), and, as he entered the train (когда сел: «вошел» в поезд), he was struck dumb with amazement (онемел от изумления; struck — сражен /to strike-struck-struck/; dumb — немой) as he looked at himself (когда посмотрел на себя) in the compartment mirror (в зеркало купе).
«What an idiot that servant is!» he cried angrily (крикнул сердито).
«I asked him to wake me, instead (вместо этого) he went and woke the rabbi! (он пошел и разбудил рабби)»
