Harry nodded in understanding (Гарри кивнул с пониманием).
John continued (продолжал), «When I was forty (когда мне было сорок), I could bend it ten degrees (мог отогнуть на десять градусов) with the greatest of effort (с сильнейшим напряжением).
At fifty (в пятьдесят), I could bend it maybe twenty degrees (может быть, на двадцать градусов).
And now that I'm past sixty (когда мне больше шестидесяти), I can bend it in half with one hand (наполовину, одной рукой).»
John paused to take a sip of his drink (умолк, чтобы отхлебнуть выпивки), and then (затем) said, «Harry, I wonder just how much stronger I'm going to get (Гарри, интересно, насколько сильнее я /еще/ стану).

  Two retired banking colleagues, Harry and John, were enjoying a few martinis over lunch when John one suddenly mused, "You know, when I was thirty, my erection was so hard that I could grip it with both hands and not be able to bend it."
  Harry nodded in understanding.
  John continued, "When I was forty, I could bend it ten degrees with the greatest of effort. At fifty, I could bend it maybe twenty degrees. And now that I'm past sixty, I can bend it in half with one hand."
