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

But Piglet wasn't listening, he was so agog at the thought of seeing Christopher Robin's blue braces again. He had only seen them once before, when he was much younger, and, being a little over-excited by them, had had to go to bed half an hour earlier than usual; and he had always wondered since if they were really as blue and as bracing as he had thought them. So when Christopher Robin took his tunic off, and they were, he felt quite friendly to Eeyore again, and held the corner of the tunic next to him and smiled happily at him. And Eeyore whispered back: "I'm not saying there won't be an Accident now, mind you. They're funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you're having them."

When Roo understood what he had to do (когда Ру понял, что ему нужно делать), he was wildly excited (он дико разволновался), and cried out (и завопил): "Tigger, Tigger, we're going to jump (Тигер, Тигер, мы будем прыгать)! Look at me jumping, Tigger (посмотри, как я прыгаю, Тигер)! Like flying, my jumping will be (подобен полету будет мой прыжок). Can Tiggers do it (Тигеры умеют это /делать/)?" And he squeaked out (и он пропищал): "I'm coming, Christopher Robin (я иду, Кристофер Робин)!" and he jumped — straight into the middle of the tunic (и он прыгнул прямо в середину блузы). And he was going so fast (и он летел так быстро) that he bounced up again almost as high as (что он подпрыгнул снова почти так же высоко = почти на ту же высоту) where he was before (где = на которой он был прежде) — and went on bouncing and saying (и он продолжал подпрыгивать и говорить), "Oo!" for quite a long time (у-у! довольно долго) — and then at last he stopped and said, "Oo, lovely (а потом он наконец остановился и сказал: у-у, здорово)!" And they put him on the ground (и /они/ его поставили на землю).

"Come on, Tigger (давай, Тигер)," he called out (крикнул он). "It's easy (это легко)."

When Roo understood what he had to do, he was wildly excited, and cried out: "Tigger, Tigger, we're going to jump! Look at me jumping, Tigger! Like flying, my jump­ing will be. Can Tiggers do it?" And he squeaked out: "I'm coming, Christopher Robin!" and he jumped-straight into the middle of the tunic. And he was going so fast that he bounced up again almost as high as where he was before — and went on bouncing and saying, "Oo!" for quite a long time — and then at last he stopped and said, "Oo, lovely!" And they put him on the ground.

"Come on, Tigger," he called out. "It's easy."

But Tigger was holding on to the branch and saying to himself (но Тигер держался за ветку и говорил себе): "It's all very well for Jumping Animals like Kangas (это все очень хорошо для Прыгающих Животных — таких, как Кенга), but it's quite different for Swimming Animals like Tiggers (но это совсем другое /дело/ для Плавающих Животных — таких, как Тигеры)." And he thought of himself floating on his back down a river (и он представил себя плывущим на спине вниз по течению реки), or striking out from one island to another (или направляющимся от одного острова к другому; to strike out — направляться), and he felt that that was really the life for a Tigger (и он почувствовал, что это в самом деле /и/ есть жизнь для Тигера).

"Come along," called Christopher Robin (давай, — крикнул Кристофер Робин; to come along — спешить, продвигаться вперед, стараться). "You'll be all right (с тобой все будет в порядке)."

"Just wait a moment," said Tigger nervously (только подожди минутку, — сказал Тигер нервно). "Small piece of bark in my eye (мне в глаз /попал/ маленький кусок = кусочек коры)." And he moved slowly along his branch (и он медленно двинулся по ветке).

"Just wait a moment," said Tigger nervously. "Small piece of bark in my eye." And he moved slowly along his branch.

"Come on, it's easy (давай, это легко)!" squeaked Roo (запищал Ру). And suddenly Tigger found how easy it was (и вдруг Тигер убедился, как это легко).

"Ow!" he shouted as the tree flew past him (ой! — крикнул он, когда дерево пролетело мимо него).

"Look out!" cried Christopher Robin to the others (осторожнее! — крикнул Кристофер Робин остальным; look out! — осторожнее, поберегись). There was a crash, and a tearing noise, and a confused heap of everybody on the ground (там был = раздался треск и звук разрываемой ткани и возникла беспорядочная куча = куча-мала из всех на земле).
