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

You can imagine Piglet's joy when at last the ship came in sight of him (вы можете представить себе радость Пятачка, когда корабль попал наконец в поле его зрения). In after-years he liked to think (в последующие годы он любил вспоминать) that he had been in Very Great Danger during the Terrible Flood (что он был в Очень Большой Опасности во время Ужасного Наводнения), but the only danger he had really been in (но единственная опасность, /в которую/ он действительно попал) was the last half-hour of his imprisonment (были последние полчаса его заключения; prison — тюрьма, темница; to imprison — заключать в тюрьму), when Owl, who had just flown up (когда Филин, который только что подлетел; to fly up), sat on a branch of his tree to comfort him (сел на ветку его дерева, /чтобы/ утешить его), and told him a very long story about an aunt (и рассказывал ему очень длинную историю о тетушке) who had once laid a seagull's egg by mistake (которая однажды по ошибке отложила яйцо чайки), and the story went on and on (а рассказ продолжался и продолжался), rather like this sentence (в значительной степени, как это предложение), until Piglet who was listening out of his window without much hope (пока Пятачок, который слушал из /своего/ окна без особой надежды), went to sleep quietly and naturally (тихонько и естественно заснул), slipping slowly out of the window towards the water (медленно выскальзывая из окна в направлении воды) until he was only hanging on by his toes (пока он /не/ висел = свесился, держась лишь передней частью копытец; toe — палец ноги; передняя часть копыта), at which moment, luckily (к счастью в который = этот момент; luck — удача), a sudden loud squawk from Owl (неожиданный громкий вопль Филина), which was really part of the story (который был, по сути, частью истории), being what his aunt said (будучи тем, что сказала его тетушка), woke the Piglet up (разбудил Пятачка) and just gave him time (и дал ему как раз время) to jerk himself back into safety and say (/чтобы/ отдернуть/отбросить себя обратно в безопасность и сказать; to jerk — резко толкать, дергать; резко бросить /что-либо/, швырнуть), “How interesting, and did she?” when (как интересно, и она все-таки) —well, you can imagine his joy (ну, /вы/ можете представить его радость) when at last he saw the good ship, Brain of Pooh (Captain, C. Robin; 1st Mate, P. Bear) coming over the sea to rescue him (когда наконец он увидел надежный корабль Ум Пуха (Капитан, К.Робин; 1-й Помощник, П.Медведь), плывущий по морю, чтобы спасти его)...

And as that is really the end of the story (и так как это действительно конец истории), and I am very tired after that last sentence (а я очень устал после этого последнего предложения), I think I shall stop there (я думаю, /я/ остановлюсь там = на этом).
