Метод Франка - Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh

backwards ['bxkwqdz], look [luk], after ['Rftq]

And Christopher Robin and Rabbit and all Rabbit's friends and relations went head-over-heels backwards... and on the top of them came Winnie-the-Pooh—free!

So, with a nod of thanks to his friends, he went on with his walk through the forest, humming proudly to himself. But, Christopher Robin looked after him lovingly, and said to himself, “Silly old Bear!”

Chapter 3,

IN WHICH POOH AND PIGLET GO HUNTING AND NEARLY CATCH A WOOZLE[20]

Глава 3,

В которой Пух и Пятачок идут на охоту и чуть не ловят Расплоха

THE Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-tree (Пятачок жил в очень большом/роскошном доме в середине бука), and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest (а бук был = стоял в середине леса), and the Piglet lived in the middle of the house (а Пятачок жил в середине дома). Next to his house was a piece of broken board which had: “TRESPASSERS W[21]” on it (возле его дома был кусок поломанной доски, на которой было /написано/: ПОСТОРОННИМ В; to trespass — противоправно нарушать владение ). When Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant (когда Кристофер Робин спросил Пятачка, что это значит), he said it was his grandfather's name, and had been in the family for a long time (он сказал, /что/ это имя его дедушки и /она (доска)/ находится в семье уже долгое время). Christopher Robin said you couldn't be called Trespassers W (Кристофер Робин сказал, /что/ не может быть, чтобы вас звали Посторонним В), and Piglet said yes, you could, because his grandfather was (а Пятачок сказал, /что/ да, вас могут /так звать/, ведь его дедушку /так звали/), and it was short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William (и это сокращенно от Посторонним Вилли, что является сокращением от Посторонним Вильям). And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one (и у его дедушки было два имени, на тот случай, если он одно потеряет) —Trespassers after an uncle, and William after[22] Trespassers (Посторонним в честь дяди, и Вильям после Посторонним).

THE Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-tree, and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest, and the Piglet lived in the middle of the house. Next to his house was a piece of broken board which had: “TRESPASSERS W” on it. When Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant, he said it was his grandfather's name, and had been in the family for a long time. Christopher Robin said you couldn't be called Trespassers W, and Piglet said yes, you could, because his grandfather was, and it was short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William. And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one—Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers.

“I've got two names (у меня два имени),” said Christopher Robin carelessly (сказал беспечно Кристофер Робин).

“Well, there you are, that proves it,” said Piglet (ну, вот видишь, это доказывает то, /что я говорил/, — сказал Пятачок).

One fine winter's day when Piglet was brushing away the snow in front of his house (в один прекрасный зимний день, когда Пятачок сметал снег перед домом), he happened to look up, and there was Winnie-the-Pooh (он случайно поднял глаза, и там оказался = как раз был Винни-Пух). Pooh was walking round and round in a circle, thinking of something else (Пух ходил и ходил по кругу, думая о чем-то /там/ еще), and when Piglet called to him (и когда Пятачок позвал его), he just went on walking (он просто продолжал идти).

prove [prHv], circle [sWkl], round [raund]

“I've got two names,” said Christopher Robin carelessly.

“Well, there you are, that proves it,” said Piglet.

One fine winter's day when Piglet was brushing away the snow in front of his house, he happened to look up, and there was Winnie-the-Pooh. Pooh was walking round and round in a circle, thinking of something else, and when Piglet called to him, he just went on walking.

“Hallo!” said Piglet, “what are you doing (эй! — сказал Пятачок, — что ты делаешь)?”

“Hunting,” said Pooh (охочусь, — сказал Пух).

“Hunting what (охотишься на что = кого [23])?”

“Tracking something (кое-кого выслеживаю),” said Winnie-the-Pooh very mysteriously (сказал Винни-Пух очень таинственно).

“Tracking what?” said Piglet, coming closer (выслеживаешь кого? — спросил Пятачок, подходя ближе).

“That's just what I ask myself (это как раз то, о чем я спрашиваю себя = как раз об этом я себя и спрашиваю ). I ask myself, What (я спрашиваю себя, на Кого)?”

“What do you think you'll answer (/и/ что ты думаешь, ты ответишь)?”

mysteriously [mIs'tIqrIqslI], closer ['klqusq], answer ['Rnsq]

“Hallo!” said Piglet, “what are you doing?”

“Hunting,” said Pooh.

“Hunting what?”

“Tracking something,” said Winnie-the-Pooh very mysteriously.

“Tracking what?” said Piglet, coming closer.

“That's just what I ask myself. I ask myself, What?”

“What do you think you'll answer?”

“I shall have to wait until I catch up with it,” said Winnie-the-Pooh (мне придется дождаться, пока я не нагоню его, — сказал Винни-Пух). “Now, look there (ну-ка, погляди туда).” He pointed to the ground in front of him (он показал на землю перед ним). “What do you see there (что ты видишь там)?”

“Tracks,” said Piglet (следы, — сказал Пятачок). “Paw-marks (следы лап).” He gave a little squeak of excitement (он немножко взвизгнул от волнения). “Oh, Pooh (ой, Пух)! Do you think it's a—a—a Woozle (ты думаешь, это Расплох)?”

“It may be,” said Pooh (это может быть = возможно , — сказал Пух). “Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't (иногда он, а иногда не он). You never can tell with paw-marks (/ты/ никогда не различишь по отпечаткам лап).”

catch [kxC], there [DFq], may [meI]

“I shall have to wait until I catch up with it,” said Winnie-the-Pooh. “Now, look there.” He pointed to the ground in front of him. “What do you see there?”

“Tracks,” said Piglet. “Paw-marks.” He gave a little squeak of excitement. “Oh, Pooh! Do you think it's a—a—a Woozle?”

“It may be,” said Pooh. “Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. You never can tell with paw-marks.”

With these few words he went on tracking (с этими немногими словами он продолжил идти по следу), and Piglet, after watching him for a minute or two, ran after him (а Пятачок, понаблюдав за ним минуту-другую, побежал за ним; to run — бежать ). Winnie-the-Pooh had come to a sudden stop (Винни-Пух вдруг резко остановился: «подошел к неожиданной остановке»), and was bending over the tracks in a puzzled sort of way (и склонился над следами озадаченно: «в озадаченном сорте способа»).

“What's the matter?” asked Piglet (в чем дело? — спросил Пятачок).

“It's a very funny thing,” said Bear (это очень забавно, — сказал Мишка), “but there seem to be two animals now (но кажется, теперь, /уже/ два зверя). This—whatever-it-was—has been joined by another—whatever-it-is (к этому Кому-бы-то-ни-было: «кто-бы-это-был» присоединилось другое Кто-бы-то-ни-было: «кто-бы-это-есть») —and the two of them are now proceeding in company (и двое из них = и они вдвоем продолжают теперь идти в компании). Would you mind coming with me, Piglet (ты не возражал бы пойти со мной, Пятачок), in case they turn out to be Hostile Animals (на тот случай, если они окажутся /быть/ Враждебными Зверями)?”

few [fjH], watch [wOC], animal ['xnImql]

With these few words he went on tracking, and Piglet, after watching him for a minute or two, ran after him. Winnie-the-Pooh had come to a sudden stop, and was bending over the tracks in a puzzled sort of way.

“What's the matter?” asked Piglet.

“It's a very funny thing,” said Bear, “but there seem to be two animals now. This—whatever-it-was—has been joined by another—whatever-it-is—and the two of them are now proceeding in company. Would you mind coming with me, Piglet, in case they turn out to be Hostile Animals?”

Piglet scratched his ear in a nice sort of way (Пятачок изящно почесал /свое/ ухо), and said that he had nothing to do until Friday, and would be delighted to come (и сказал, что ему нечего делать до Пятницы, и /он/ будет очень рад пойти /с ним/), in case it really was a Woozle (на случай, если это действительно Расплох).

“You mean, in case it really is two Woozles,” said Winnie-the-Pooh (ты хочешь сказать, на случай, если это действительно два Расплоха, — сказал Винни-Пух), and Piglet said that anyhow he had nothing to do until Friday (а Пятачок сказал, что в любом случае ему нечего делать до Пятницы). So off they went together (и они вместе пошли дальше; to go off — отправляться, уходить ).

ear [Iq], Friday ['fraIdI], delighted [dI'laItId]

Piglet scratched his ear in a nice sort of way, and said that he had nothing to do until Friday, and would be delighted to come, in case it really was a Woozle.

“You mean, in case it really is two Woozles,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, and Piglet said that anyhow he had nothing to do until Friday. So off they went together.

There was a small spinney of larch trees just here (как раз здесь была маленькая рощица лиственниц), and it seemed as if the two Woozles, if that is what they were, had been going round this spinney (и казалось, как будто два Расплоха, если это были именно они, ходят вокруг этой рощицы); so round this spinney went Pooh and Piglet after them (поэтому вокруг этой рощицы шли за ними Пух и Пятачок); Piglet passing the time by telling Pooh what his Grandfather Trespassers W had done to Remove Stiffness after Tracking (Пятачок проводил время, рассказывая Пуху, что сделал его Дедушка Посторонним В, /чтобы/ Избавиться от Онемелости / Окоченелости после Выслеживания), and how his Grandfather Trespassers W had suffered in his later years from Shortness of Breath (и как его Дедушка Посторонним В страдал в его поздние годы = на склоне лет от Одышки; short — короткий ; shortness — нехватка ; breath — дыхание ), and other matters of interest (и другие интересные вещи), and Pooh wondering what a Grandfather was like (а Пуху было интересно, какой Дедушка = как выглядит Дедушка ), and if perhaps this was Two Grandfathers they were after now (и если, возможно, это были Два Дедушки = и не двое ли их , которых они преследовали; to be after — преследовать ), and, if so, whether he would be allowed to take one home and keep it (и если /это/ так, разрешат ли ему взять одного домой и держать его), and what Christopher Robin would say (и что скажет Кристофер Робин). And still the tracks went on in front of them (а следы все еще продолжали идти = шли и шли дальше перед ними)...
