Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh - Метод Франка

Outside his house he found Piglet (снаружи = перед своим домом он обнаружил Пятачка), jumping up and down trying to reach the knocker (подпрыгивавшего = который подпрыгивал, пытаясь дотянуться до дверного кольца).

“Hallo, Piglet,” he said (привет, Пятачок, — сказал он).

“Hallo, Pooh,” said Piglet (привет, Пух, — сказал Пятачок).

“What are you trying to do (что ты пытаешься сделать = ты делаешь)?”

“I was trying to reach the knocker,” said Piglet (я пытался дотянуться до дверного кольца, — сказал Пятачок). “I just came round— (я как раз зашел)”

Outside his house he found Piglet, jumping up and down trying to reach the knocker.

“Hallo, Piglet,” he said.

“Hallo, Pooh,” said Piglet.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I was trying to reach the knocker,” said Piglet. “I just came round—”

“Let me do it for you,” said Pooh kindly (давай я сделаю это за тебя = я тебе помогу, — сказал любезно Пух). So he reached up and knocked at the door (и он потянулся /вверх/ и постучал в дверь). “I have just seen Eeyore is in a Very Sad Condition (я только что видел Иа в Очень Грустном Состоянии), because it's his birthday, and nobody has taken any notice of it (потому что у него день рождения, и никто не заметил этого; to take no notice of — не замечать, не обращать внимания на), and he's very Gloomy (и он очень Мрачный; gloom — мрак; темнота; депрессия, мрачность; уныние)—you know what Eeyore is (ты знаешь, какой Иа)—and there he was, and (и он был = стоял там) —What a long time whoever lives here is answering this door (как долго /кто бы здесь не жил/ не открывают дверь).” And he knocked again (и он снова постучал).

“But Pooh,” said Piglet (но Пух, — сказал Пятачок), “it's your own house (это твой собственный дом)!”

“Oh!” said Pooh (о! — сказал Пух). “So it is,” he said (так и есть, — сказал он). “Well, let's go in (ну, давай зайдем /вовнутрь/).”

“Let me do it for you,” said Pooh kindly. So he reached up and knocked at the door. “I have just seen Eeyore is in a Very Sad Condition, because it's his birthday, and nobody has taken any notice of it, and he's very Gloomy—you know what Eeyore is—and there he was, and—What a long time whoever lives here is answering this door.” And he knocked again.

“But Pooh,” said Piglet, “it's your own house!”

“Oh!” said Pooh. “So it is,” he said. “Well, let's go in.”

So in they went (и они вошли). The first thing Pooh did was to go to the cupboard to see (первым делом Пух пошел к буфету, /чтобы/ выяснить) if he had quite a small jar of honey left (/не/ осталась ли у него совсем маленькой банки меда); and he had, so he took it down (и она у него была, поэтому он снял ее).

“I'm giving this to Eeyore,” he explained, “as a present (я отдам это Иа, — объяснил он, — в качестве подарка). What are you going to give (/а/ что подаришь ты)?”

“Couldn't I give it too?” said Piglet (/а/ не мог бы я тоже подарить ее? — спросил Пятачок). “From both of us (от нас обоих)?”

“No,” said Pooh (нет, — сказал Пух). “That would not be a good plan (это был бы нехороший = неудачный план).”

“All right, then, I'll give him a balloon (ладно, тогда, я подарю ему воздушный шарик). I've got one left from my party (у меня остался один с моей вечеринки). I'll go and get it now, shall I (я пойду и возьму его сейчас, а / хорошо)?”

cupboard ['kAbqd], both [bquT], would [wud]

So in they went. The first thing Pooh did was to go to the cupboard to see if he had quite a small jar of honey left; and he had, so he took it down.

“I'm giving this to Eeyore,” he explained, “as a present. What are you going to give?”

“Couldn't I give it too?” said Piglet. “From both of us?”

“No,” said Pooh. “That would not be a good plan.”

“All right, then, I'll give him a balloon. I've got one left from my party. I'll go and get it now, shall I?”

“That, Piglet, is a very good idea (это, Пятачок, очень хорошая мысль). It is just what Eeyore wants to cheer him up (это как раз то, что нужно Иа, чтобы развеселить его; to cheer up — развеселить, утешать, ободрять). Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon (никто /не/ может не развеселиться от шарика = шарик развеселит каждого).”

So off Piglet trotted (и Пятачок убежал рысцой); and in the other direction went Pooh, with his jar of honey (а в другом направлении пошел Пух со своей банкой меда).

It was a warm day, and he had a long way to go (/это/ был = стоял теплый день, а ему предстоял долгий путь). He hadn't gone more than half-way (он прошел не больше полпути) when a sort of funny feeling began to creep all over him (когда сорт странного чувства = странное чувство начало охватывать его всего; to creep over — охватывать /кого-либо/, овладевать /кем-либо/; to creep — ползать). It began at the tip of his nose and trickled all through him and out at the soles of his feet (оно началось на кончике его носа и просочилось через него всего и /вышло/ у подошв его ступней). It was just as if somebody inside him were saying (это было, словно кто-то внутри него говорил), “Now then, Pooh, time for a little something (ну же, Пух, пора /принять/ немного чего-нибудь = перекусить).”

“That, Piglet, is a very good idea. It is just what Eeyore wants to cheer him up. Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.”

So off Piglet trotted; and in the other direction went Pooh, with his jar of honey.

It was a warm day, and he had a long way to go. He hadn't gone more than half-way when a sort of funny feeling began to creep all over him. It began at the tip of his nose and trickled all through him and out at the soles of his feet. It was just as if somebody inside him were saying, “Now then, Pooh, time for a little something.”

“Dear, dear,” said Pooh (ай-ай-ай, — сказал Пух), “I didn't know it was as late as that (я не знал, что /это/ так поздно: «так поздно, как то»).” So he sat down and took the top off his jar of honey (и он сел и снял крышку со своей банки меда; to take off — снимать). “Lucky I brought this with me,” he thought (мне повезло, /что/ я понес = взял это с собой). “Many a bear going out on a warm day like this would never have thought of bringing a little something with him (многие медведи, выходя /из дому/ в такой теплый день, никогда /не/ подумали бы о том, чтобы принести = взять с собой немного чего-нибудь = перекусить).” And he began to eat (и он начал есть).

“Now let me see,” he thought (теперь дайте мне подумать, — подумал он), as he took his last lick of the inside of the jar (когда он последний раз облизал внутренность банки), “Where was I going (куда я собирался)? Ah, yes, Eeyore (ах, да, к Иа).” He got up slowly (он медленно поднялся).

And then, suddenly, he remembered (и тогда, вдруг, он вспомнил). He had eaten Eeyore's birthday present (он съел подарок для Иа на день рождения; to eat — есть)!

“Bother!” said Pooh (ах-ты! — сказал Пух). “What shall I do (что мне делать)? I must give him something (я должен ему что-то подарить).”

lucky ['lAkI], brought [brLt], last [lRst]

“Dear, dear,” said Pooh, “I didn't know it was as late as that.” So he sat down and took the top off his jar of honey. “Lucky I brought this with me,” he thought. “Many a bear going out on a warm day like this would never have thought of bringing a little something with him.” And he began to eat.

“Now let me see,” he thought, as he took his last lick of the inside of the jar, “Where was I going? Ah, yes, Eeyore.” He got up slowly.

And then, suddenly, he remembered. He had eaten Eeyore's birthday present!

“Bother!” said Pooh. “What shall I do? I must give him something.”

For a little while he couldn't think of anything (некоторое время он не мог ничего придумать). Then he thought (потом он подумал): “Well, it's a very nice pot (ну, это очень миленький горшочек), even if there's no honey in it (даже если в нем нет меда), and if I washed it clean (а если бы я его чистенько вымыл), and got somebody to write 'A Happy Birthday' on it (и уговорил бы кого-нибудь написать на нем «Счастливого Дня Рождения»; to get smb. to do smth. — уговорить кого-нибудь сделать что-нибудь), Eeyore could keep things in it, which might be Useful (Иа мог бы хранить в нем вещи, что было бы Полезно).” So, as he was just passing the Hundred Acre Wood (поэтому, когда он как раз проходил через Сто-Акровый Лес), he went inside to call on Owl, who lived there (он вошел в него, /чтобы/ навестить Филина, который жил там).

For a little while he couldn't think of anything. Then he thought: “Well, it's a very nice pot, even if there's no honey in it, and if I washed it clean, and got somebody to write 'A Happy Birthday' on it, Eeyore could keep things in it, which might be Useful.” So, as he was just passing the Hundred Acre Wood, he went inside to call on Owl, who lived there.

“Good morning, Owl,” he said (доброе утро, Филин, — сказал он).

“Good morning, Pooh,” said Owl (доброе утро, Пух, — сказал Филин).

“Many happy returns of Eeyore's birthday,” said Pooh (/желаю тебе/ много счастливых повторов дня рождения Иа, — сказал Пух).

“Oh, is that what it is (а, вот как)?”

“What are you giving him, Owl (что ты ему подаришь, Филин)?”

“What are you giving him, Pooh (/а/ что ты подаришь ему, Пух)?”

“I'm giving him a Useful Pot to Keep Things In, and I wanted to ask you (я подарю ему Полезный Горшок для Хранения В Нем /Всяких/ Вещей, и я хотел попросить тебя)”

“Is this it?” said Owl (это он? — спросил Филин), taking it out of Pooh's paw (взяв его из лапы Пуха).

return [rI'tWn], morning ['mLnIN], you [jH]

“Good morning, Owl,” he said.

“Good morning, Pooh,” said Owl.

“Many happy returns of Eeyore's birthday,” said Pooh.

“Oh, is that what it is?”

“What are you giving him, Owl?”

“What are you giving him, Pooh?”

“I'm giving him a Useful Pot to Keep Things In, and I wanted to ask you”

“Is this it?” said Owl, taking it out of Pooh's paw.

“Yes, and I wanted to ask you— (да, и я хотел попросить тебя)”

“Somebody has been keeping honey in it,” said Owl (кто-то хранил в нем мед, — сказал Филин).

“You can keep anything in it,” said Pooh earnestly (ты можешь хранить в нем что угодно, — сказал Пух убедительно; earnest — серьезный). “It's Very Useful like that (он /такой/ Очень Полезный). And I wanted to ask you— (и я хотел попросить тебя)”

“You ought to write 'A Happy Birthday' on it (тебе нужно написать на нем «Счастливого Дня Рождения»).”
