Метод Франка - Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh

He left the window and began to search his house (он покинул окно = место у окна и начал обыскивать свой дом; to leave ), all of it that wasn't under water (все от него = всю его часть , которая не была под водой), and at last he found a pencil (и наконец он нашел карандаш; to find ) and a small piece of dry paper (и маленький кусочек сухой бумаги), and a bottle with a cork to it (и бутылку с пробкой от нее). And he wrote on one side of the paper (и он написал на одной стороне бумажки):

story ['stLrI], island ['aIlqnd], threw [TrH]

Then suddenly he remembered a story which Christopher Robin had told him about a man on a desert island who had written something in a bottle and thrown it in the sea; and Piglet thought that if he wrote something in a bottle and threw it in the water, perhaps somebody would come and rescue him !

He left the window and began to search his house, all of it that wasn't under water, and at last he found a pencil and a small piece of dry paper, and a bottle with a cork to it. And he wrote on one side of the paper:

HELP (помогите)!

PIGLIT (ME) Питачок (Я)

and on the other side (а на другой стороне):

IT'S ME PIGLIT, HELP (это я Питачок, Помогите)

HELP (Помогите)!

Then he put the paper in the bottle (потом он положил бумажку в бутылку), and he corked the bottle up as tightly as he could (и /он/ закупорил бутылку крепко, как только мог), and he leant out of his window as far as he could lean without falling in (и он высунулся из окна так далеко, как /он/ мог, чтобы не упасть в /воду/; to lean out — высовываться ), and he threw the bottle as far as he could throw (и /он/ бросил бутылку /так/ далеко, как /он/ мог /бросить/)— splash! —and in a little while it bobbed up again on the water (плюх! — и вскоре она снова появилась на поверхности воды; to bob up — выскакивать , появляться на поверхности ); and he watched it floating slowly away in the distance (и он наблюдал за тем, как она медленно уплывает вдаль), until his eyes ached with looking (пока его глаза /не/ заболели от смотрения = напряжения ), and sometimes he thought it was the bottle (и иногда ему казалось, что это бутылка), and sometimes he thought it was just a ripple on the water (а иногда ему казалось, что это просто рябь на воде) which he was following (за которой он следит), and then suddenly he knew that he would never see it again (а потом вдруг он узнал = понял , что он никогда снова = больше /не/ увидит ее) and that he had done all that he could do to save himself (и что он сделал все, что мог, /чтобы/ спастись).

leant [lent], float [flqut], ache [eIk]

HELP!

PIGLIT (ME)

and on the other side:

IT'S ME PIGLIT, HELP

HELP!

Then he put the paper in the bottle, and he corked the bottle up as tightly as he could, and he leant out of his window as far as he could lean without falling in, and he threw the bottle as far as he could throw— splash! —and in a little while it bobbed up again on the water; and he watched it floating slowly away in the distance, until his eyes ached with looking, and sometimes he thought it was the bottle, and sometimes he thought it was just a ripple on the water which he was following, and then suddenly he knew that he would never see it again and that he had done all that he could do to save himself.

“So now,” he thought (итак теперь, — подумал он), “somebody else will have to do something (кто-то другой должен будет сделать что-то), and I hope they will do it soon (и я надеюсь, он сделает это скоро), because if they don't I shall have to swim (потому что, если он не сделает этого, мне придется плыть), which I can't, so I hope they do it soon (чего я не умею, поэтому я надеюсь, что он сделает это скоро).” And then he gave a very long sigh (а потом он издал очень долгий вздох) and said, “I wish Pooh were here (и сказал: жаль, что Пуха нет здесь: «я желаю, чтобы Пух был здесь»). It's so much more friendly with two (вдвоем гораздо приятнее).”

When the rain began Pooh was asleep (когда дождь начался, Пух спал). It rained, and it rained, and it rained (дождь шел и шел, и шел), and he slept and he slept and he slept (а он спал и спал, и спал). He had had a tiring day (у него был утомительный день; to tire — утомлять/ся/, уставать ). You remember how he discovered the North Pole (вы помните, как он открыл Северный Полюс); well, he was so proud of this (ну, он так гордился этим) that he asked Christopher Robin (что /он/ спросил Кристофера Робина) if there were any other Poles such as a Bear of Little Brain might discover (есть ли другие Полюса, такие, которые мог бы открыть Мишка с Маленьким Умишком).

“So now,” he thought, “somebody else will have to do something, and I hope they will do it soon, because if they don't I shall have to swim, which I can't, so I hope they do it soon.” And then he gave a very long sigh and said, “I wish Pooh were here. It's so much more friendly with two.”

When the rain began Pooh was asleep. It rained, and it rained, and it rained, and he slept and he slept and he slept. He had had a tiring day. You remember how he discovered the North Pole; well, he was so proud of this that he asked Christopher Robin if there were any other Poles such as a Bear of Little Brain might discover.

“There's a South Pole,” said Christopher Robin (есть Южный Полюс, — сказал Кристофер Робин), “and I expect there's an East Pole and a West Pole (и я предполагаю, есть Восточный Полюс и Западный Полюс), though people don't like talking about them (хотя люди не любят говорить о них).” Pooh was very excited when he heard this (Пух был очень взволнован, когда /он/ услышал это), and suggested that they should have an Expotition to discover the East Pole (и предложил организовать Искпедицию, /чтобы/ открыть Восточный Полюс), but Christopher Robin had thought of something else to do with Kanga (но Кристофер Робин вспомнил о чем-то еще, /что ему нужно было/ = о каком - то деле , которое нужно было сделать с Кенгой ), so Pooh went out to discover the East Pole by himself (поэтому Пух отправился открывать Восточный Полюс сам). Whether he discovered it or not, I forget (открыл он его или нет, я забываю = не помню ); but he was so tired when he got home that (но он так устал, когда /он/ добрался домой, что) in the very middle of his supper (в самой середине /своего/ ужина = в самый разгар ужина ), after he had been eating for little more than half-an-hour (после того как он ел уже чуть больше получаса), he fell fast asleep in his chair (он крепко заснул в своем кресле), and slept and slept and slept (и спал, и спал, и спал; to sleep ).

“There's a South Pole,” said Christopher Robin, “and I expect there's an East Pole and a West Pole, though people don't like talking about them.” Pooh was very excited when he heard this, and suggested that they should have an Expotition to discover the East Pole, but Christopher Robin had thought of something else to do with Kanga; so Pooh went out to discover the East Pole by himself. Whether he discovered it or not, I forget; but he was so tired when he got home that, in the very middle of his supper, after he had been eating for little more than half-an-hour, he fell fast asleep in his chair, and slept and slept and slept.

Then suddenly he was dreaming (затем ему вдруг приснился сон). He was at the East Pole (он был на Восточном Полюсе), and it was a very cold pole with the coldest sort of snow and ice all over it (и это был очень холодный полюс с самым холодным сортом снега и льда по всему нему = по всему полюсу ). He had found a bee-hive to sleep in (он нашел пчелиный улей, /чтобы/ поспать в нем), but there wasn't room for his legs (но /в нем/ не было места для его ног), so he had left them outside (поэтому он оставил их снаружи). And Wild Woozles, such as inhabit the East Pole, came (и пришли Дикие Расплохи, которые обитают на Восточном Полюсе) and nibbled all the fur off his legs to make Nests for their Young (и стали выщипывать весь мех с его ног, /чтобы/ сделать Гнезда для их Детенышей). And the more they nibbled (и чем больше они щипали), the colder his legs got (тем холоднее становилось ногам), until suddenly he woke up with an Ow (пока он внезапно /не/ проснулся с /криком/ Ай!; to wake up )!—and there he was, sitting in his chair with his feet in the water (и оказалось, что он сидит в своем кресле, а его ноги в воде), and water all round him (и вода повсюду вокруг него)!

He splashed to his door and looked out (он прошлепал к двери и выглянул наружу)...
