“Look at me swimming (посмотрите, как я плаваю)!” squeaked Roo from the middle of his pool (запищал Ру из середины /своей/ заводи), and was hurried down a waterfall into the next pool (и поспешил вниз по водопаду = каскаду в следующую заводь).

“Are you all right, Roo dear (ты в порядке, Ру, дорогой)?” called Kanga anxiously (крикнула обеспокоенно Кенга).

“Yes!” said Roo (да! — сказал Ру). “Look at me sw— (посмотрите, как я пл-)“ and down he went over the next waterfall into another pool (и он спустился через следующий каскад в другую заводь).

“Look at me swimming!” squeaked Roo from the middle of his pool, and was hurried down a waterfall into the next pool.

“Are you all right, Roo dear?” called Kanga anxiously.

“Yes!” said Roo. “Look at me sw—“ and down he went over the next waterfall into another pool.

Everybody was doing something to help (все делали что-то, /чтобы/ помочь). Piglet, wide awake suddenly, was jumping up and down and making “Oo, I say” noises (Пятачок, внезапно полностью проснувшийся, прыгал и издавал звуки: у, эй); Owl was explaining that in a case of Sudden and Temporary Immersion the Important Thing was to keep the Head Above Water (Филин растолковывал, что в случае Неожиданного и Временного Погружения Важно держать Голову Над Водой); Kanga was jumping along the bank, saying (Кенга прыгала по берегу, спрашивая) “Are you sure you're all right, Roo dear (ты уверен, что у тебя все в порядке, Ру, дорогой)?” to which Roo, from whatever pool he was in at the moment (на что Ру из какой бы то ни было заводи, в /которой/ он оказывался в данный момент), was answering “Look at me swimming (отвечал: посмотрите, как я плаваю)!” Eeyore had turned round and hung his tail over the first pool into which Roo fell (Иа повернулся /задом к воде/ и свесил свой хвост над первой заводью, в которую упал Ру), and with his back to the accident was grumbling quietly to himself, and saying (и /сидя/ спиной к происходящему, ворчал тихо про себя и говорил), “All this washing (вот все это умывание); but catch on to my tail, little Roo (но хватайся за мой хвост, маленький Ру), and you'll be all right (и с тобой все будет хорошо)”; and,Christopher Robin and Rabbit came hurrying past Eeyore (а Кристофер Робин и Кролик спешили мимо Иа), and were calling out to the others in front of them (и кричали другим перед ними).

Everybody was doing something to help. Piglet, wide awake suddenly, was jumping up and down and making “Oo, I say” noises; Owl was explaining that in a case of Sudden and Temporary Immersion the Important Thing was to keep the Head Above Water; Kanga was jumping along the bank, saying “Are you sure you're all right, Roo dear?” to which Roo, from whatever pool he was in at the moment, was answering “Look at me swimming!” Eeyore had turned round and hung his tail over the first pool into which Roo fell, and with his back to the accident was grumbling quietly to himself, and saying, “All this washing; but catch on to my tail, little Roo, and you'll be all right”; and,Christopher Robin and Rabbit came hurrying past Eeyore, and were calling out to the others in front of them.

“All right, Roo, I'm coming (все в порядке, Ру, я иду),” called Christopher Robin (крикнул Кристофер Робин).

“Get something across the stream lower down (возьмите что-нибудь, чтобы опустить поперек ручья), some of you fellows (кто-нибудь из вас, ребята),” called Rabbit (крикнул Кролик).

But Pooh was getting something (а Пух что-то нес). Two pools below Roo he was standing with a long pole in his paws (на две заводи ниже Ру он стоял с длинным шестом в лапах), and Kanga came up and took one end of it (а Кенга подошла = подбежала и схватилась за один его конец), and between them they held it across the lower part of the pool (и между ними они держали его через нижнюю часть заводи = они опустили его поперек нижней части заводи ); and Roo, still bubbling proudly (а Ру, все еще гордо булькающего; bubble — пузырек; to bubble — кипеть; пузыриться; подниматься пузырьками ), “Look at me swimming (посмотрите, как я плаваю),” drifted up against it, and climbed out (выплыл, несомый течением, на него: «продрейфовал к нему», и он выкарабкался /из воды/).

lower [ ˈləʊə ], below [ bɪˈləʊ], against [ əˈgɛnst]

“All right, Roo, I'm coming,” called Christopher Robin.

“Get something across the stream lower down, some of you fellows,” called Rabbit.

But Pooh was getting something. Two pools below Roo he was standing with a long pole in his paws, and Kanga came up and took one end of it, and between them they held it across the lower part of the pool; and Roo, still bubbling proudly, “Look at me swimming,” drifted up against it, and climbed out.

“Did you see me swimming (вы видели, как я плавал)?” squeaked Roo excitedly (возбужденно пищал Ру), while Kanga scolded him and rubbed him down (пока Кенга бранила /его/ и вытирала его). “Pooh, did you see me swimming (Пух, ты видел, как я плавал)? That's called swimming, what I was doing (то, что я делал, называется плавать). Rabbit, did you see what I was doing (Кролик, ты видел, что я делал)? Swimming (плавал). Hallo, Piglet (эй, Пятачок)! I say, Piglet (послушай, Пятачок; I say — послушай, эй )! What do you think I was doing (что, ты думаешь, я делал)! Swimming (плавал)! Christopher Robin, did you see me— (Кристофер Робин, ты видел, как я)”

But Christopher Robin wasn't listening (но Кристофер Робин не слушал). He was looking at Pooh (он смотрел на Пуха).

“Pooh,” he said (Пух, — сказал он), “where did you find that pole (где ты нашел эту ось)?”

Pooh looked at the pole in his hands (Пух посмотрел на шест в своих руках).

“I just found it,” he said (я просто нашел его). “I thought it ought to be useful (я подумал, /что/ он должен пригодиться). I just picked it up (я просто подобрал его).”

“Pooh,” said Christopher Robin solemnly (Пух, — сказал Кристофер Робин торжественно), “the Expedition is over (Экспедиция завершена). You have found the North Pole (ты нашел Северный Полюс [53] А точнее Его Ось. )!”

“Oh!” said Pooh (ах! — сказал Пух).

scold [ skəʊld], what [ wɒt], found [ faʊnd]

“Did you see me swimming?” squeaked Roo excitedly, while Kanga scolded him and rubbed him down. “Pooh, did you see me swimming? That's called swimming, what I was doing. Rabbit, did you see what I was doing? Swimming. Hallo, Piglet! I say, Piglet! What do you think I was doing! Swimming! Christopher Robin, did you see me—”

But Christopher Robin wasn't listening. He was looking at Pooh.

“Pooh,” he said, “where did you find that pole?”

Pooh looked at the pole in his hands.

“I just found it,” he said. “I thought it ought to be useful. I just picked it up.”

“Pooh,” said Christopher Robin solemnly, “the Expedition is over. You have found the North Pole!”

“Oh!” said Pooh.

Eeyore was sitting with his tail in the water (Иа сидел с /его/ хвостом = опустив хвост в воду) when they all got back to him (когда они все вернулись к нему).

“Tell Roo to be quick, somebody,” he said (кто-нибудь, скажите Ру, пусть поторопится, — сказал он). “My tail's getting cold (мой хвост замерзает). I don't want to mention it (я не хочу упоминать об этом), but I just mention it (но я просто упоминаю об этом). I don't want to complain, but there it is (я не хочу жаловаться, но так уж получается). My tail's cold (моему хвосту холодно).”

“Here I am!” squeaked Roo (вот я! — запищал Ру).

“Oh, there you are (а, вот ты где).”

“Did you see me swimming (ты видел, как я плавал)?”

Eeyore took his tail out of the water (Иа вытащил /свой/ хвост из воды), and swished it from side to side (и помахал им из стороны в сторону).

tail [ teɪl], cold [ kəʊld], mention [ ˈmɛnʃən]

Eeyore was sitting with his tail in the water when they all got back to him.

“Tell Roo to be quick, somebody,” he said. “My tail's getting cold. I don't want to mention it, but I just mention it. I don't want to complain, but there it is. My tail's cold.”

“Here I am!” squeaked Roo.

“Oh, there you are.”

“Did you see me swimming?”

Eeyore took his tail out of the water, and swished it from side to side.

“As I expected,” he said (как я и ожидал, — сказал он). “Lost all feeling (потерял всякую чувствительность). Numbed it (он окоченел: «окоченел его = отморозил его»; numb — онемелый, неподвижный; окоченелый /от холода/ ). That's what it's done (именно это и случилось). Numbed it (окоченел). Well, as long as nobody minds, I suppose it's all right (ну, поскольку никто /не/ возражает, я полагаю, /что/ все в порядке).”

“Poor old Eeyore (бедный старый Иа)! I'll dry it for you,” said Christopher Robin (я вытру его тебе, — сказал Кристофер Робин), and he took out his handkerchief and rubbed it up (и он вытащил носовой платок и растер его).

“Thank you, Christopher Robin (спасибо, Кристофер Робин). You're the only one who seems to understand about tails (ты единственный, кто, кажется, понимает что-то в хвостах). They don't think (они не думают) — that's what's the matter with some of these others (вот в чем проблема с некоторыми из этих остальных). They've no imagination (у них нет воображения). A tail isn't a tail to them (хвост для них не хвост), it's just a Little Bit Extra at the back (это просто Маленький Дополнительный Кусочек / Еще Немножко спины).”
