Английский язык с А. А. Милном. Винни-Пух. Часть 2

PIGLET (looking up carelessly): "Must you? Well, if you see Christopher Robin anywhere, you might tell him I want him."

HEFFALUMP (eager to please): "Certainly! Certainly!" (He hurries off.)

POOH (who wasn't going to be there, but we find we can't do without him): "Oh, Piglet, how brave and clever you are!"

PIGLET (modestly): "Not at all, Pooh." (And then, when Christopher Robin comes, Pooh can tell him all about it.)

While Piglet was dreaming his happy dream (пока Пятачок грезил свою счастливую грезу), and Pooh was wondering again whether it was fourteen or fifteen (а Пух снова спрашивал себя, четырнадцать /их/ или пятнадцать), the Search for Small was still going on all over the Forest (Поиск Малявки все еще продолжался по всему лесу). Small's real name was Very Small Beetle (настоящее имя Малявки было Очень Маленький = Малюсенький Жучок), but he was called Small for short (но его кратко звали Малявкой), when he was spoken to at all (когда с ним вообще заговаривали), which hardly ever happened (чего почти никогда /не/ случалось) except when somebody said: "Really, Small (за исключением /случая/, когда кто-нибудь говорил: действительно, Малявка = да ладно тебе / да что ты, Малявка)!" He had been staying with Christopher Robin for a few seconds (он гостил у Кристофера Робина уже несколько секунд), and he had started round a gorse-bush for exercise (и /он/ отправился в качестве упражнения = разминки вокруг утесникового куста), but instead of coming back the other way (но вместо того, чтобы вернуться с другой стороны), as expected (как ожидалось), he hadn't (он не вернулся), so nobody knew where he was (поэтому никто не знал, где он).

While Piglet was dreaming his happy dream, and Pooh was wondering again whether it was fourteen or fifteen, the Search for Small was still going on all over the Forest. Small's real name was Very Small Beetle, but he was called Small for short, when he was spoken to at all, which hardly ever happened except when somebody said: "Really, Small!" He had been staying with Christopher Robin for a few seconds, and he had started round a gorse-bush for exercise, but instead of coming back the other way, as expected, he hadn't, so nobody knew where he was.

"I expect he's just gone home (я думаю, /что/ он просто ушел домой)," said Christopher Robin to Rabbit (сказал Кристофер Робин Кролику).

"Did he say Good-bye-and-thank-you-for-a-nice-time (он сказал До-свидания-и-спасибо-за-приятное-время/провождение/)?" said Rabbit (спросил Кролик).

"He's only just said how-do-you-do (он сказал лишь ‘здравствуйте’)," said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин).

"Ha!" said Rabbit (ха! — сказал Кролик). After thinking a little, he went on (подумав немного, он продолжал): "Has he written a letter saying how much he enjoyed himself (он написал письмо, в котором говорилось, как приятно он провел время /у тебя в гостях/; to enjoy oneself — проводить приятно время, получать удовольствие, развлекаться), and how sorry he was he had to go so suddenly (и как он извиняется за то, что ему пришлось уехать так внезапно)?"

Christopher Robin didn't think he had (Кристофер Робин полагал, /что не получал такого письма/).

expect [Iks'pekt], enjoy [In'GOI], gone [gOn]

"I expect he's just gone home," said Christopher Robin to Rabbit.

"Did he say Good-bye-and-thank-you-for-a-nice-time?" said Rabbit.

"He's only just said how-do-you-do," said Christopher Robin.

"Ha!" said Rabbit. After thinking a little, he went on: "Has he written a letter saying how much he enjoyed himself, and how sorry he was he had to go so suddenly?"

Christopher Robin didn't think he had.

"Ha!" said Rabbit again (ха! — сказал опять Кролик), and looked very important (и выглядел очень важно = и принял очень важный вид). "This is Serious (это Серьезно). He is Lost (он Потерялся). We must begin the Search at once (мы должны сейчас же начать Поиск)."

Christopher Robin, who was thinking of something else (Кристофер Робин, который думал о чем-то другом), said: "Where's Pooh (спросил: где Пух)?" — but Rabbit had gone (но Кролик /уже/ ушел = убежал). So he went into his house and drew a picture of Pooh (поэтому он вошел в свой дом и нарисовал картинку = портрет Пуха) going a long walk at about seven o'clock in the morning (идущего в дальний путь около семи часов утра), and then he climbed to the top of his tree and climbed down again (а потом он забрался на верхушку своего дерева и снова спустился), and then he wondered what Pooh was doing (а затем ему стало интересно, чем занимается Пух), and went across the Forest to see (и он пошел через Лес, чтобы узнать).
