Julia thought he was (Джулия думала так /что он был красив/), and she said it
because she liked saying it (и она говорила так, потому, что ей нравилось так
говорить), but she said it also because she knew (но она говорила так еще и
потому, что знала) he liked to hear it (что ему нравится слышать это). He had
affection and admiration for her (он испытывал привязанность и восхищение к
ней), he felt at ease with her (он чувствовал себя с ней легко: to be at ease —
чувствовать себя свободно, непринужденно, не стесняться), and he had
confidence in her (и он был в ней уверен; confidence — доверие, секрет,
уверенность), but she was well aware (но она хорошо осознавала) that he was
not in love with her (что он не был влюблен в нее). She consoled herself by
thinking (она утешала себя, думая; to console — утешать, успокаивать) that
he loved her as much as he was capable of loving (что он любил ее настолько,
насколько он способен был любить; capable — способный, одаренный,
способный на что-либо), and she thought that when they were married (и она
думала, что когда они поженятся), when they slept together (когда они будут
спать вместе; to sleep (slept) — спать, ночевать, разг. жить, иметь
любовную связь) her own passion (ее собственная страсть) would excite an
equal passion in him (возбудит равноценную страсть в нем).

Equal passion in him.
Meanwhile (тем временем) she exercised all her tact (она использовала весь
свой такт; to exercise — тренировать, развивать, применять, использовать)
and all her self-control (и все свое самообладание; self-control —
сдержанность, умение владеть собой). She knew (она знала, что) she could
not afford (она не может /себе/ позволить) to bore him (наскучить ему). She
knew (она знала, что) she must never let him feel (она никогда не должна дать
ему почувствовать) that she was a burden (что она была обузой; burden —
ноша, тяжесть, груз, бремя) or a responsibility (или ответственностью /для
него/). He might desert her (он мог покинуть ее; to desert — бросить,
покинуть, дезертировать) for a game of golf (ради игры в гольф), or to lunch
with a casual acquaintance (или из-за ланча с обычным знакомым), she never let
him see for a moment (она никогда не давала: «позволяла» ему увидеть, даже
на мгновение) that she was hurt (что он причинил ей боль: «что она была
раненной»; to hurt — причинять боль, нанести повреждения, задевать,
обижать). And with an inkling (и подозревая; inkling — осторожный намек,
слабое подозрение) that her success as an actress (что ее успех как актрисы)
strengthened his feeling for her (укреплял его чувства к ней; to strengthen —
усиливать, укреплять) she worked like a dog to play well (она работала упорно:
«как собака», чтобы играть хорошо).
