Метод Франка - Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh

certain ['sWtn], threw [TrH], night [naIt]

Having made certain of this, he took the jar back to Piglet, and Piglet looked up from the bottom of his Very Deep Pit, and said, “Got it?” and Pooh said, “Yes, but it isn't quite a full jar,” and he threw it down to Piglet, and Piglet said, “No, it isn't! Is that all you've got left?” and Pooh said, “Yes.” Because it was. So Piglet put the jar at the bottom of the Pit, and climbed out, and they went off home together.

“Well, good night, Pooh,” said Piglet, when they had got to Pooh's house. “And we meet at six o'clock to-morrow morning by the Pine Trees, and see how many Heffalumps we've got in our Trap.”

“Six o'clock, Piglet (/в/ шесть часов, Пятачок). And have you got any string (а у тебя есть веревка)?”

“No (нет). Why do you want string (зачем тебе веревка: «почему ты хочешь веревку»)?”

“To lead them home with (чтобы на ней отвести их домой).”

“Oh!... I think Heffalumps come if you whistle (о, я думаю, Слонопотамы идут, если ты свистишь = идут на свист ).”

“Some do and some don't (некоторые идут, а некоторые нет). You never can tell with Heffalumps (/ты/ никогда не поймешь со Слонопотамами). Well, good night (ну, спокойной ночи)!”

“Good night (спокойной ночи)!”

And off Piglet trotted to his house TRESPASSERS W (и Пятачок потрусил к своему дому ПОСТОРОННИМ В), while Pooh made his preparations for bed (в то время как Пух приготовился ко сну: «сделал приготовления для кровати»).

lead [lJd], some [sAm], while [waIl]

“Six o'clock, Piglet. And have you got any string?”

“No. Why do you want string?”

“To lead them home with.”

“Oh!... I think Heffalumps come if you whistle.”

“Some do and some don't. You never can tell with Heffalumps. Well, good night!”

“Good night!”

And off Piglet trotted to his house TRESPASSERS W, while Pooh made his preparations for bed.

Some hours later, just as the night was beginning to steal away (несколько часов спустя, как раз когда ночь начинала незаметно ускользать; to steal — воровать ; красться ; to steal away — незаметно ускользнуть ), Pooh woke up suddenly with a sinking feeling (Пух вдруг проснулся от чувства слабости; to wake up; to sink — опускаться , погружаться ). He had had that sinking feeling before, and he knew what it meant (он уже испытывал это чувство слабости прежде, и он знал, что это означало; to mean ). He was hungry (он был голоден). So he went to the larder (поэтому он пошел в кладовую), and he stood on a chair (и встал на стул) and reached up to the top shelf (и потянулся /вверх/ к верхней полке), and found—nothing (и /не/ нашел ничего).

“That's funny,” he thought (/это/ странно, — подумал он). “I know I had a jar of honey there (я знаю, /что/ у меня была там банка меда). A full jar, full of honey right up to the top (полная банка, полная меда до самых краев), and it had HUNNY written on it (и на ней было написано МИОТ), so that I should know it was honey (так чтобы я знал, /что/ это мед). That's very funny (/это/ очень странно).” And then he began to wander up and down (а потом он начал прохаживаться туда-сюда), wondering where it was and murmuring a murmur to himself (интересуясь, где она, и нашептывая / ворча себе ворчалку). Like this (такую):

Some hours later, just as the night was beginning to steal away, Pooh woke up suddenly with a sinking feeling. He had had that sinking feeling before, and he knew what it meant. He was hungry . So he went to the larder, and he stood on a chair and reached up to the top shelf, and found—nothing.

“That's funny,” he thought. “I know I had a jar of honey there. A full jar, full of honey right up to the top, and it had HUNNY written on it, so that I should know it was honey. That's very funny.” And then he began to wander up and down, wondering where it was and murmuring a murmur to himself. Like this:

It's very, very funny (/это/ очень, очень странно),

'Cos I know I had some honey (потому что я знаю, /что/ у меня был мед):

'Cos it had a label on (потому что на нем была наклейка),

Saying HUNNY (гласящая = с надписью МИОТ),

A goloptious full-up pot too (к тому же сладкий полный до краев горшок; full - up — переполненный , битком набитый ; goloptious = goluptious — вкусный , сладкий , ароматный ),

And I don't know where it's got to (и я не знаю, куда он девался),

No, I don't know where it's gone— (нет, я не знаю, куда он пропал)

Well, it's funny (ну, это странно).

Попал я в странный переплет.

Куда девался Мишкин мед?

Ведь у меня он был с табличкой,

Которая гласила «МЁТ».

Полный горшок аппетитного меда

Запропастился неясно куда.

Шутит недобро над Мишкой природа,

Ведь мне без меда совсем никуда[27].

label [leIbl], goluptious [gq'lApSqs], 'cos [kOz]

It's very, very funny,

'Cos I know I had some honey:

'Cos it had a label on,

Saying HUNNY,

A goloptious full-up pot too,

And I don't know where it's got to,

No, I don't know where it's gone—

Well, it's funny.

He had murmured this to himself three times in a singing sort of way (он проворчал это себе три раза в виде песенки), when suddenly he remembered (когда вдруг он вспомнил). He had put it into the Cunning Trap to catch the Heffalump (он положил ее в Хитроумную Западню для ловли Слонопотама).

“Bother!” said Pooh (Ай-ай-ай! — сказал Пух). “It all comes of trying to be kind to Heffalumps (это все происходит оттого, что пытаешься быть добрым со Слонопотамами).” And he got back into bed (и он вернулся в кровать).

this [DIs], three [TrJ], suddenly ['sAdnlI]

He had murmured this to himself three times in a singing sort of way, when suddenly he remembered. He had put it into the Cunning Trap to catch the Heffalump.

“Bother!” said Pooh. “It all comes of trying to be kind to Heffalumps.” And he got back into bed.

But he couldn't sleep (но он не мог спать). The more he tried to sleep (чем больше он пытался заснуть), the more he couldn't (тем больше /он/ не мог). He tried Counting Sheep (он пробовал Считать Овец), which is sometimes a good way of getting to sleep (что иногда бывает хорошим способом заснуть), and, as that was no good (и когда это не помогло), he tried counting Heffalumps (он попробовал считать Слонопотамов). And that was worse (а это было еще хуже). Because every Heffalump that he counted (потому что каждый Слонопотам, которого он сосчитал) was making straight for a pot of Pooh's honey (направлялся прямиком к горшку Пухового меда), and eating it all (и съедал его весь = целиком ). For some minutes he lay there miserably (несколько минут он лежал там несчастно), but when the five hundred and eighty-seventh Heffalump was licking its jaws (но когда 587-й Слонопотам облизывал свою пасть), and saying to itself (и говорил себе), “Very good honey this, I don't know when I've tasted better (это очень хороший мед, я не знаю, когда я пробовал лучше)” Pooh could bear it no longer (Пух больше не смог вынести этого). He jumped out of bed (он выскочил из кровати), he ran out of the house (он выбежал из дома; to run — бежать ), and he ran straight to the Six Pine Trees (и /он/ побежал прямиком к Шести Соснам).

worse [wWs], miserably ['mIzqrqblI], bear [bFq]

But he couldn't sleep. The more he tried to sleep, the more he couldn't. He tried Counting Sheep, which is sometimes a good way of getting to sleep, and, as that was no good, he tried counting Heffalumps. And that was worse. Because every Heffalump that he counted was making straight for a pot of Pooh's honey, and eating it all . For some minutes he lay there miserably, but when the five hundred and eighty-seventh Heffalump was licking its jaws, and saying to itself, “Very good honey this, I don't know when I've tasted better,” Pooh could bear it no longer. He jumped out of bed, he ran out of the house, and he ran straight to the Six Pine Trees.

The Sun was still in bed (Солнце все еще было в постели), but there was a lightness in the sky over the Hundred Acre Wood (но в небе над Сто-Акровым Лесом был светлый оттенок), which seemed to show that it was waking up (который, казалось, показывал, что оно просыпается) and would soon be kicking off the clothes (и скоро сбросит постельное белье = выберется из - под постельного белья ). In the half-light the Pine Trees looked cold and lonely (в полусвете Сосны казались холодными и одинокими), and the Very Deep Pit seemed deeper than it was (а Очень Глубокая Яма казалась глубже, чем она была), and Pooh's jar of honey at the bottom was something mysterious, a shape and no more (а Пухова банка меда на дне была чем-то таинственным, /неясным/ очертанием и ничем более). But as he got nearer to it his nose told him that it was indeed honey (но когда он подобрался ближе к ней, его нос сказал ему, что это был в самом деле мед), and his tongue came out and began to polish up his mouth, ready for it (а его язык высунулся и начал шлифовать его рот, готовый к этому).
