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

"Or a piece of a honeycomb," said Pooh (или кусочек сотов, — сказал Пух), "so as not to waste too much (так чтобы не тратить впустую слишком много). Only then I might only get a piece of a beehive (только тогда я, возможно, получу = у меня вырастет лишь кусок улья), and it might be the wrong piece (и, возможно, это будет неправильный кусок), where the bees were buzzing and not hunnying[20] (где = в котором пчелы гудят и жужжат, а не медят для медвежат; to buzz — гудеть, жужжать). Bother (эка досада)."

Piglet agreed that that would be rather bothering (Пятачок согласился, что это будет довольно досадно).

"Besides, Pooh, it's a very difficult thing, planting (кроме того, Пух, сажать — это очень трудное дело) unless you know how to do it," he said (если ты не знаешь, как это делать, — сказал он); and he put the acorn in the hole he had made (и он уложил желудь в ямку, которую он сделал = выкопал), and covered it up with earth, and jumped on it (и засыпал его землей и попрыгал на нем).

"Or a piece of a honeycomb," said Pooh, "so as not to waste too much. Only then I might only get a piece of a beehive, and it might be the wrong piece, where the bees were buzzing and not hunnying. Bother."

Piglet agreed that that would be rather bothering.

"Besides, Pooh, it's a very difficult thing, planting unless you know how to do it," he said; and he put the acorn in the hole he had made, and covered it up with earth, and jumped on it.

"I do know," said Pooh (да знаю я, — сказал Пух), "because Christopher Robin gave me a mastershalum seed (потому что Кристофер Робин дал мне семя мастериток), and I planted it (и я посадил его), and I'm going to have mastershalums all over the front door (и у меня повсюду у входной двери будут мастеритки)."

"I thought they were called nasturtiums (я думал, они называются настурциями)," said Piglet timidly (сказал робко Пятачок), as he went on jumping (продолжая прыгать: «в то время как он продолжал прыгать»).

"No," said Pooh (нет, — сказал Пух). "Not these (не эти). These are called mastershalums (эти называются мастеритки)."

alum ['xlqm], seed [sJd], over ['quvq]

"I do know," said Pooh, "because Christopher Robin gave me a mastershalum seed, and I planted it, and I'm going to have mastershalums all over the front door."

"I thought they were called nasturtiums," said Piglet timidly, as he went on jumping.

"No," said Pooh. "Not these. These are called mastershalums."

When Piglet had finished jumping (когда Пятачок закончил прыгать), he wiped his paws on his front (он вытер /свои/ лапки об переднюю часть /тела/ = о грудку), and said, "What shall we do now (и спросил: что будем делать сейчас)?" and Pooh said, "Let's go and see Kanga and Roo and Tigger (а Пух сказал: давай пойдем в гости к Кенге и Ру и Тигеру)," and Piglet said, "Y-yes. L-let's (а Пятачок сказал: д-да, д-давай)" — because he was still a little anxious about Tigger (потому что он все еще немного беспокоился из-за Тигера), who was a very Bouncy Animal (который был очень Прыгучим Животным), with a way of saying How-do-you-do which always left your ears full of sand (и так говорил ‘Здравствуйте’, что от этого ваши уши забивались песком: «которое всегда оставляет ваши уши полными песка»), even after Kanga had said (даже после того как Кенга говорила), "Gently, Tigger dear," and had helped you up again (осторожно, Тигер, дорогой, — и помогала вам снова подняться). So they set off for Kanga's house (и они отправились к дому Кенги).

full [ful], even ['Jvn], gently ['GentlI]

When Piglet had finished jumping, he wiped his paws on his front, and said, "What shall we do now?" and Pooh said, "Let's go and see Kanga and Roo and Tigger," and Piglet said, "Y-yes. L-let's" — because he was still a little anxious about Tigger, who was a very Bouncy Animal, with a way of saying How-do-you-do which always left your ears full of sand, even after Kanga had said, "Gently, Tigger dear," and had helped you up again. So they set off for Kanga's house.

Now it happened that Kanga had felt rather motherly that morning (и вот случилось так, что Кенга почувствовала себя весьма по-матерински в то утро), and Wanting to Count Things — like Roo's vests (и Захотела Посчитать Вещи — такие, как переднички[21] Ру), and how many pieces of soap there were left (и сколько кусков мыла осталось), and the two clean spots in Tigger's feeder (два свежих пятнышка на нагруднике Тиггера); so she had sent them out with a packet of watercress sandwiches for Roo (поэтому она отправила их на улицу / на прогулку с пакетом бутербродов с водяным крессом для Ру) and a packet of extract-of-malt sandwiches for Tigger (и пакетом бутербродов с солодовым экстрактом для Тигера), to have a nice long morning in the Forest not getting into mischief (чтобы они провели прекрасное долгое утро в лесу и не попали в беду). And off they had gone (и они ушли).
