Дом на Пуховом углу - Метод Франка

"He's out," said Pooh sadly (его нет, — сказал грустно Пух; to be out — не быть дома). "That's what it is (вот в чем дело). He's not in (его нет внутри = дома; to be in — быть дома). I shall have to go a fast Thinking Walk by myself (мне придется пойти одному на быстро Думательную Прогулку). Bother (эх / вот незадача)!"

But first he thought that he would knock very loudly (но сначала он подумал, что он громко постучит; to think — думать) just to make quite sure (просто, чтобы полностью убедиться)... and while he waited for Piglet not to answer (а пока он ждал, когда не ответит Пятачок), he jumped up and down to keep warm (он подпрыгивал, чтобы согреться: «сохранять тепло / сохраняться теплым»), and a hum came suddently into his head (и внезапно ему в голову пришла хмыкалка; hum — хмыканье, мурлыканье, напевание без слов), which seemed to him a Good Hum (которая показалась ему Хорошей Хмыкалкой), such as is Hummed Hopefully to Others (такой, которую Напевают, Будем Надеяться, Другим = которую, Будем Надеяться, можно Пропеть Другим).

"So what I'll do (/так/ вот что я сделаю)," said Pooh, "is I'll do this (сказал Пух, — я сделаю это = следующее). I'll just go home first and see what the time is (я просто сначала пойду домой и узнаю, который час), and perhaps I'll put a muffler round my neck (и, возможно, я замотаю шею теплым шарфом), and then I'll go and see Eeyore and sing it to him (а потом я пойду проведать Иа и спою ему ее = хмыкалку)."

He hurried back to his own house (он поспешил обратно к своему /собственному/ дому); and his mind was so busy on the way with the hum that he was getting ready for Eeyore that (и его ум был так занят по дороге хмыкалкой, которую он готовил для Иа, что), when he suddenly saw Piglet sitting in his best arm-chair (когда он неожиданно увидел Пятачка, сидящего в его лучшем кресле), he could only stand there rubbing his head and wondering whose house he was in (он только мог стоять /там/, почесывая /свою/ голову и спрашивать себя, в чьем доме он оказался).

"So what I'll do," said Pooh, "is I'll do this. I'll just go home first and see what the time is, and perhaps I'll put a muffler round my neck, and then I'll go and see Eeyore and sing it to him."

He hurried back to his own house; and his mind was so busy on the way with the hum that he was getting ready for Eeyore that, when he suddenly saw Piglet sitting in his best arm-chair, he could only stand there rubbing his head and wondering whose house he was in.

"Hallo, Piglet," he said (привет, Пятачок, — сказал он). "I thought you were out (я думал, тебя нет дома)."

"No," said Piglet (нет, — сказал Пятачок), "it's you who were out, Pooh (это тебя не было дома, Пух)."

"So it was," said Pooh (так и было, — сказал Пух). "I knew one of us was (я знал, /что/ одного из нас нет дома)."

He looked up at his clock (он посмотрел на /свои/ часы), which had stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago (которые остановились на без пяти одиннадцать несколько недель назад).

"Nearly eleven o'clock," said Pooh happily (почти одиннадцать часов, — сказал счастливо = радостно Пух). "You're just in time for a little smackerel[4] of something (ты /пришел/ как раз вовремя для малюсенького кусочка чего-нибудь; smack — небольшое количество еды, кусочек)," and he put his head into the cupboard (и он засунул свою голову в буфет). "And then we'll go out, Piglet (а потом мы пойдем наружу = на улицу, Пятачок), and sing my song to Eeyore (и споем мою песенку Иа)."

"Which song, Pooh (какую песню, Пух)?"

"The one we're going to sing to Eeyore," explained Pooh (ту, которую мы собираемся спеть Иа, — объяснил Пух).

who [hH], knew [njH], eleven [I'levn]

"Hallo, Piglet," he said. "I thought you were out."

"No," said Piglet, "it's you who were out, Pooh."

"So it was," said Pooh. "I knew one of us was."

He looked up at his clock, which had stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago.

"Nearly eleven o'clock," said Pooh happily. "You're just in time for a little smackerel of something," and he put his head into the cupboard. "And then we'll go out, Piglet, and sing my song to Eeyore."

"Which song, Pooh?"

"The one we're going to sing to Eeyore," explained Pooh.

The clock was still saying five minutes to eleven (часы все еще показывали без пяти минут одиннадцать) when Pooh and Piglet set out on their way half an hour later (когда Пух и Пятачок отправились в путь полчаса спустя; to set out — отправляться). The wind had dropped, and the snow (ветер утих, и снег; to drop — прекращаться, уменьшаться), tired of rushing round in circles trying to catch itself up (уставший носиться кругами, пытаясь догнать себя; to catch up — догнать, нагнать), now fluttered gently down until it found a place on which to rest (перепархивал = спускался теперь мягко вниз, пока не находил место, на котором /можно/ отдохнуть; to find — находить), and sometimes the place was Pooh's nose and sometimes it wasn't (и иногда этим местом был нос Пуха, а иногда нет), and in a little while Piglet was wearing a white muffler round his neck (и вскоре Пятачок носил = у Пятачка вокруг шеи был белый теплый шарф) and feeling more snowy behind the ears than he had ever felt before (и он ощущал у себя за ушами больше снега, чем когда либо прежде; snowy — снежный, заснеженный, покрытый снегом; to feel — чувствовать (себя), ощущать).

The clock was still saying five minutes to eleven when Pooh and Piglet set out on their way half an hour later. The wind had dropped, and the snow, tired of rushing round in circles trying to catch itself up, now fluttered gently down until it found a place on which to rest, and sometimes the place was Pooh's nose and sometimes it wasn't, and in a little while Piglet was wearing a white muffler round his neck and feeling more snowy behind the ears than he had ever felt before.

"Pooh," he said at last, and a little timidly (Пух, — сказал он наконец и немного робко), because he didn't want Pooh to think he was Giving In (потому что он не хотел, чтобы Пух подумал, что он Уступает; to give in — уступать, соглашаться, сдаваться), "I was just wondering (я просто хотел спросить). How would it be if we went home now and practised your song (а что если бы мы сейчас пошли домой и поупражнялись /петь/ твою песенку; to practise — практиковаться, упражняться, тренироваться), and then sang it to Eeyore tomor-row-or-or the next day (а потом мы бы пропели ее Иа завтр-р-ра или на следующий день; to sing — петь), when we happen to see him (когда нам случится встретиться с ним)?"

"That's a very good idea, Piglet," said Pooh (это очень хорошая мысль, Пятачок, — сказал Пух). "We'll practise it now as we go along (мы поупражняемся /петь/ ее сейчас, когда будем идти; to go along — двигаться вперед (обычно по дороге, по улице и т.п.), продвигаться). But it's no good going home to practise it (но нет смысла идти домой, чтобы попрактиковаться /петь/ ее), because it's a special Outdoor Song which Has To Be Sung In The Snow (потому что это специальная Уличная Песня, которую Нужно Петь В Снегопад)."

"Are you sure (ты уверен)?" asked Piglet anxiously (спросил обеспокоенно Пятачок).

"Pooh," he said at last, and a little timidly, because he didn't want Pooh to think he was Giving In, "I was just wondering. How would it be if we went home now and practised your song, and then sang it to Eeyore tomor-row-or-or the next day, when we happen to see him?"

"Are you sure?" asked Piglet anxiously.

"Well, you'll see, Piglet, when you listen (ну, ты увидишь, Пятачок, когда ты послушаешь). Because this is how it begins (потому что она начинается вот так). The more it snows, tiddely pom — (чем больше снег идет, тирли-бом)"

"Tiddely what?" said Piglet (тирли что? — спросил Пятачок).

"Pom," said Pooh (бом, — сказал Пух). "I put that in to make it more hummy (я вставил это в нее, чтобы сделать ее более хмыкательной). The more it goes, tiddely pom, the more — (чем больше он продолжает, тирли-бом, чем больше)"

"Didn't you say snows (разве ты не говорил «снег идет»)?"

"Yes, but that was before (да, но это было прежде)."

"Before the tiddely pom (прежде «тирли-бом»)?"

"It was a different tiddely pom (это был другой «тирли-бом»)," said Pooh, feeling rather muddled now (сказал Пух, чувствуя себя довольно запутанным). "I'll sing it to you properly and then you'll see (я спою ее тебе как надо, и тогда ты увидишь).
