Илья Франк - Английский язык с Винни-Пухом

“How did you get here, Pooh (как ты сюда добрался)?” asked Christopher Robin (спросил Кристофер Робин), when he was ready to talk again (когда он был снова готов говорить).

“On my boat,” said Pooh proudly (на моем корабле, — сказал гордо Пух). “I had a Very Important Missage sent me in a bottle (мне прислали в бутылке Очень Важное Сообчение), and owing to having got some water in my eyes (а из-за того, что мне попала в /мои/ глаза вода), I couldn't read it (я не мог прочесть его), so I brought it to you (поэтому я привез его тебе; to bring ). On my boat (на моем корабле).”

growly [ ˈgrəʊli], rush [ rʌʃ], owing [ ˈəʊɪŋ]

“Oh, Pooh!” cried Christopher Robin. “Where are you?”

“Here I am,” said a growly voice behind him.

“Pooh!”

They rushed into each other's arms.

“How did you get here, Pooh?” asked Christopher Robin, when he was ready to talk again.

“On my boat,” said Pooh proudly. “I had a Very Important Missage sent me in a bottle, and owing to having got some water in my eyes, I couldn't read it, so I brought it to you. On my boat.”

With these proud words (с этими гордыми словами) he gave Christopher Robin the missage (он отдал Кристоферу Робину сообчение).

“But it's from Piglet (но оно от Пятачка)!” cried Christopher Robin (воскликнул Кристофер Робин) when he had read it (когда он прочел его).

“Isn't there anything about Pooh in it (разве в нем нет ничего о Пухе)?” asked Bear, looking over his shoulder (спросил Мишка, заглядывая через его плечо = ему через плечо ).

Christopher Robin read the message aloud (Кристофер Робин прочитал сообчение вслух).

“Oh, are those 'P's' piglets (а, эти Пы пятачки)? I thought they were poohs (я думал, это пухи).”

shoulder [ ˈʃəʊldə], aloud [ əˈlaʊd], piglet [ ˈpɪglət]

With these proud words he gave Christopher Robin the missage.

“But it's from Piglet!” cried Christopher Robin when he had read it.

“Isn't there anything about Pooh in it?” asked Bear, looking over his shoulder.

Christopher Robin read the message aloud.

“Oh, are those 'P's' piglets? I thought they were poohs.”

“We must rescue him at once (мы должны его сейчас же спасти)! I thought he was with you , Pooh (я думал, он с тобой, Пух). Owl, could you rescue him on your back (Филин, ты мог бы спасти его на /своей/ спине)?”

“I don't think so (/я/ /так/ не думаю),” said Owl, after grave thought (сказал Филин после серьезного размышления). “It is doubtful if the necessary dorsal muscles— (сомнительно, чтобы необходимые дорсальные мускулы = необходимое усилие дорсальных мускулов; dorsal — спинной, дорсальный )”

“Then would you fly to him at once and say that Rescue is Coming (тогда не слетаешь ли ты к нему сейчас же, /чтобы/ сказать, что Помощь Идет)? And Pooh and I will think of a Rescue (а мы с Пухом придумаем Спасение = Как Спасти Его ) and come as quick as ever we can (и прибудем /так/ быстро, как только /мы/ сможем). Oh, don't talk , Owl, go on quick (ах, не говори, Филин, лети же быстрее)!” And, still thinking of something to say (и все еще думая, что сказать), Owl flew off (Филин улетел).

doubtful [ ˈdaʊtfʊl], necessary [ ˈnɛsɪsəri], dorsal [ ˈdɔ:səl]

“We must rescue him at once! I thought he was with you , Pooh. Owl, could you rescue him on your back?”

“I don't think so,” said Owl, after grave thought. “It is doubtful if the necessary dorsal muscles—”

“Then would you fly to him at once and say that Rescue is Coming? And Pooh and I will think of a Rescue and come as quick as ever we can. Oh, don't talk , Owl, go on quick!” And, still thinking of something to say, Owl flew off.

“Now then, Pooh,” said Christopher Robin (ну же, Пух, — сказал Кристофер Робин), “where's your boat (где твой корабль)?”

“I ought to say (/я/ должен сказать),” explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island (объяснил Пух, когда они спускались к берегу острова), “that it isn't just an ordinary sort of boat (это не совсем обычный корабль). Sometimes it's a Boat (иногда он Корабль), and sometimes it's more of an Accident (а иногда он скорее Несчастный Случай). It all depends (это зависит от; it all depends — как сказать! поживем увидим ).”

“Depends on what (зависит от чего)?”

“On whether I'm on top of it or underneath it (от того на нем / наверху ли я или под ним).”

“Oh (а)! Well, where is it (ну, где он)?”

“There!” said Pooh (вот! — сказал Пух), pointing proudly to The Floating Bear (гордо показывая на Плавучего Медведя).

shore [ ʃɔ:], depend [ dɪˈpɛnd], whether [ ˈwɛðə]

“Now then, Pooh,” said Christopher Robin, “where's your boat?”

“I ought to say,” explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island, “that it isn't just an ordinary sort of boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident. It all depends.”

“Depends on what?”

“On whether I'm on top of it or underneath it.”

“Oh! Well, where is it?”

“There!” said Pooh, pointing proudly to The Floating Bear .

It wasn't what Christopher Robin expected (это было не то, что ожидал Кристофер Робин), and the more he looked at it (и чем больше он смотрел на него), the more he thought what a Brave and Clever Bear Pooh was (тем больше он думал, что за Храбрый и Умный Медведь был Пух), and the more Christopher Robin thought this (и чем больше Кристофер Робин думал об этом), the more Pooh looked modestly down his nose and tried to pretend he wasn't (тем более скромно смотрел на свой нос = потуплял свой взор Пух и пытался сделать вид, что он не такой).

“But it's too small for two of us (но он слишком мал для нас двоих),” said Christopher Robin sadly (сказал грустно Кристофер Робин).

“Three of us with Piglet (для нас троих с Пятачком).”

“That makes it smaller still (тогда он еще меньше: «это делает его еще меньше»). Oh, Pooh Bear, what shall we do (ах, Мишка Пух, что /же/ нам делать)?”

brave [ breɪv], us [ ʌs], shall [ ʃæl]

It wasn't what Christopher Robin expected, and the more he looked at it, the more he thought what a Brave and Clever Bear Pooh was, and the more Christopher Robin thought this, the more Pooh looked modestly down his nose and tried to pretend he wasn't.

“But it's too small for two of us,” said Christopher Robin sadly.

“Three of us with Piglet.”

“That makes it smaller still. Oh, Pooh Bear, what shall we do?”

And then this Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh (и тогда этот Мишка, Медведь Пух, Винни-Пух), F. O. P. (Friend of Piglet's) (ДП (Друг Пятачка) = ДТП (Друг и Товарищ Пятачка) ), R. C. (Rabbit's Companion) (ПК (Приятель Кролика)), P. D. (Pole Discoverer) (ПОП (Перво-Открыватель Полюса)), E. C. and T. F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail-finder) (УИ и НХ (Утешитель Иа и Находитель Хвоста)) — in fact, Pooh himself (в сущности, сам Пух = Пух собственной персоной ) — said something so clever (сказал нечто такое умное) that Christopher Robin could only look at him with mouth open and eyes staring (что Кристофер Робин мог только смотреть на него с открытым ртом и выпучив глаза), wondering if this was really the Bear of Very Little Brain (удивляясь, действительно ли это Мишка с Очень Маленьким Умишком) whom he had know and loved so long (которого он так долго знал и любил).

companion [ kəmˈpænjən], comforter [ ˈkʌmfətə], finder [ ˈfaɪndə]

And then this Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, F. O. P. (Friend of Piglet's), R. C. (Rabbit's Companion), P. D. (Pole Discoverer), E. C. and T. F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail-finder) — in fact, Pooh himself — said something so clever that Christopher Robin could only look at him with mouth open and eyes staring, wondering if this was really the Bear of Very Little Brain whom he had know and loved so long.

“We might go in your umbrella,” said Pooh (мы могли бы поехать = поплыть в твоем зонтике, — сказал Пух).

“?”

“We might go in your umbrella,” said Pooh (мы могли бы поехать = поплыть в твоем зонтике, — сказал Пух).

“??”

“We might go in your umbrella,” said Pooh (мы могли бы поехать = поплыть в твоем зонтике, — сказал Пух).

“!!!!!!”

For suddenly Christopher Robin saw that they might (так как вдруг Кристофер Робин понял, что они могли бы). He opened his umbrella and put it point downwards in the water (он раскрыл свой зонтик и положил его кончиком / верхушкой вниз в воду). It floated but wobbled (он поплыл, но закачался).

said [sɛd], point [ pɔɪnt], wobble [ ˈwɒbl]

“We might go in your umbrella,” said Pooh.

“?”

“We might go in your umbrella,” said Pooh?

“??”

“We might go in your umbrella,” said Pooh.

“!!!!!!”

For suddenly Christopher Robin saw that they might. He opened his umbrella and put it point downwards in the water. It floated but wobbled.

Pooh got in (Пух забрался вовнутрь). He was just beginning to say (он как раз начал говорить = собирался сказать ) that it was all right now (что все в порядке), when he found that it wasn't (когда /он/ обнаружил, что это не так), so after a short drink (поэтому после короткого купания; drink — глоток, стакан, напиток, доза лекарства ), which he didn't really want (в котором он, вообще говоря, не нуждался), he waded back to Christopher Robin (он вернулся вброд к Кристоферу Робину). Then they both got in together (потом они залезли оба вместе), and it wobbled no longer (и он = зонт больше не качался).
