Английский язык с А. А. Милном. Винни-Пух. Часть 1

“To make you grow big and strong, dear. You don't want to grow up small and weak like Piglet, do you? Well, then!”

At that moment there was a knock at the door (в этот момент раздался стук в дверь).

“Come in,” said Kanga (войдите, — сказала Кенга), and in came Christopher Robin (и вошел Кристофер Робин).

“Christopher Robin, Christopher Robin!” cried Piglet (Кристофер Робин, Кристофер Робин! — закричал Пятачок). “Tell Kanga who I am (скажи Кенге, кто я)! She keeps saying I'm Roo (она продолжает говорить = твердит, /что/ я Ру). I'm not Roo, am I (я ведь не Ру)?”

Christopher Robin looked at him very carefully, and shook his head (Кристофер Робин посмотрел на него очень внимательно и покачал /своей/ головой).

knock [nOk], door [dL], who [hH]

At that moment there was a knock at the door.

“Come in,” said Kanga, and in came Christopher Robin.

“Christopher Robin, Christopher Robin!” cried Piglet. “Tell Kanga who I am! She keeps saying I'm Roo. I'm not Roo, am I?”

Christopher Robin looked at him very carefully, and shook his head.

“You can't be Roo,” he said (не может быть, чтобы ты был Ру, — сказал он), “because I've just seen Roo playing in Rabbit's house (потому что я только что видел Ру, игравшего в доме Кролика).”

“Well!” said Kanga (вот те раз! — сказала Кенга). “Fancy that (только подумайте)! Fancy my making a mistake like that (представьте себе, что я совершила такую ошибку).”

“There you are!” said Piglet (ну вот / вот видишь! — сказал Пятачок). “I told you so (я тебе так и сказал). I'm Piglet (я Пятачок).”

Christopher Robin shook his head again (Кристофер Робин снова покачал головой).

“Oh, you're not Piglet,” he said (ты не Пятачок, — сказал он). “I know Piglet well (я хорошо знаю Пятачка), and he's quite a different colour (и он совершенно другого цвета).”

seen [sJn], told [tquld], different ['dIfrqnt]

“You can't be Roo,” he said, “because I've just seen Roo playing in Rabbit's house.”

“Well!” said Kanga. “Fancy that! Fancy my making a mistake like that.”

“There you are!” said Piglet. “I told you so. I'm Piglet.”

Christopher Robin shook his head again.

“Oh, you're not Piglet,” he said. “I know Piglet well, and he's quite a different colour.”

Piglet began to say (Пятачок начал говорить) that this was because he had just had a bath (что это потому, что он только что принял ванну), and then he thought that perhaps he wouldn't say that (а потом он подумал, что, возможно, лучше не говорить этого), and as he opened his mouth to say something else (и когда он открыл /свой/ рот, /чтобы/ сказать что-то еще), Kanga slipped the medicine spoon in (Кенга засунула ложку с лекарством вовнутрь = ему в рот), and then patted him on the back and told him (а потом похлопала его по спине и сказала ему) that it was really quite a nice taste when you got used to it (что это действительно очень приятный вкус, когда ты привыкнешь к нему).

“I knew it wasn't Piglet,” said Kanga (я знала, /что/ это не Пятачок, — сказала Кенга). “I wonder who it can be (интересно, кто это может быть).”

“Perhaps it's some relation of Pooh's,” said Christopher Robin (может быть, это какой-нибудь родственник Пуха, — сказал Кристофер Робин). “What about a nephew or an uncle or something (как насчет племянника или дяди или чего-то подобного)?”

taste [teIst], used [jHst], nephew ['nevjH]

Piglet began to say that this was because he had just had a bath, and then he thought that perhaps he wouldn't say that, and as he opened his mouth to say something else, Kanga slipped the medicine spoon in, and then patted him on the back and told him that it was really quite a nice taste when you got used to it.

“I knew it wasn't Piglet,” said Kanga. “I wonder who it can be.”

“Perhaps it's some relation of Pooh's,” said Christopher Robin. “What about a nephew or an uncle or something?”

Kanga agreed that this was probably what it was (Кенга согласилась, что это возможно так), and said that they would have to call it by some name (и сказала, что им придется назвать его каким-нибудь именем).

“I shall call it Pootel,” said Christopher Robin (я назову его Путель, — сказал Кристофер Робин). “Henry Pootel for short (Генри Путель сокращенно).”
