By means of a grating I have stopped your ating.

For the Mariner he was also an Hi-ber-ni-an (что касается Моряка, он был еще и Хирландец; Hibernian — ирландец, ирландка). And he stepped out on the shingle (и он вышел на берег, покрытый галькой), and went home to his mother (и пошел домой к своей маме), who had given him leave to trail his toes in the water (которая дала ему разрешение болтать ногами в воде); and he married and lived happily ever afterward (и он женился и жил счастливо всегда впоследствии = с тех пор). So did the Whale (и Кит тоже). But from that day on (но с того дня и впредь), the grating in his throat (решетка в его глотке), which he could neither cough up nor swallow down (которую он не мог ни выкашлять, ни проглотить), prevented him eating anything (мешала ему есть что-либо) except very, very small fish (кроме очень-очень мелкой рыбешки); and that is the reason why whales nowadays never eat men or boys or little girls (вот причина того, что = вот почему киты сейчас никогда /не/ едят мужчин = /взрослых/ людей или мальчиков или маленьких девочек).

For the Mariner he was also an Hi-ber-ni-an. And he stepped out on the shingle, and went home to his mother, who had given him leave to trail his toes in the water; and he married and lived happily ever afterward. So did the Whale. But from that day on, the grating in his throat, which he could neither cough up nor swallow down, prevented him eating anything except very, very small fish; and that is the reason why whales nowadays never eat men or boys or little girls.

The small ‘Stute Fish went (маленькая Хитренькая Рыбка ушла = уплыла) and hid himself in the mud under the Door-sills of the Equator (и спряталась в иле под Порогом Экватора; to hide oneself — прятаться). He was afraid (он = она боялась) that the Whale might be angry with him (что Кит может на нее рассердиться; to be angry with — сердиться на).

The Sailor took the jack-knife home (Моряк взял складной нож домой). He was wearing the blue canvas breeches (он носил синие холщовые штаны = он был в синих холщовых штанах) when he walked out on the shingle (когда он вышел на берег, покрытый галькой). The suspenders were left behind, you see, to tie the grating with (помочи остались = ушли, видите ли, на то, чтобы связать = на перевязку решетки; to leave behind — оставлять позади / после себя); and that is the end of that tale (и это конец этой сказки).
