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

"That's right (это правильно). You'll like Owl (вам понравится Филин). He flew past a day or two ago and noticed me (он пролетал мимо день или два назад и заметил меня; to fly — летать). He didn't actually say anything (он, собственно, ничего не сказал), mind you, but he knew it was me (заметьте, но он знал, что это я; mind you — заметьте, имейте в виду). Very friendly of him, I thought (очень дружелюбно с его стороны, подумал я). Encouraging (ободряюще; courage — отвага; to encourage — ободрять)."

Pooh and Piglet shuffled about a little and said (Пух и Пятачок немного пошаркали / поерзали и сказали; to shuffle — откладывать в сторону; перемещать; волочить ноги; шаркать; ерзать, вертеться), "Well, good-bye, Eeyore (ну, до свидания, Иа)," as lingeringly as they could (/так/ медлительно, как /только они/ могли; to linger — засиживаться, задерживаться; колебаться, медлить), but they had a long way to go (но им предстоял долгий путь), and wanted to be getting on (и они хотели поспешить; to get on — спешить с чем-то).

flew [flH], past [pRst], lingeringly ['lINgqrINlI]

"Well, we're very glad to see you, Eeyore, and now we're going on to see Owl."

"That's right. You'll like Owl. He flew past a day or two ago and noticed me. He didn't actually say anything, mind you, but he knew it was me. Very friendly of him, I thought. Encouraging."

Pooh and Piglet shuffled about a little and said, "Well, good-bye, Eeyore," as lingeringly as they could, but they had a long way to go, and wanted to be getting on.

"Good-bye," said Eeyore (до свидания, — сказал Иа). "Mind you don't get blown away, little Piglet (берегись, не будь унесенным ветром = чтоб тебя не унесло ветром, маленький Пятачок; to blow away — сдувать, уносить ветром). You'd be missed (о тебе бы скучали). People would say (люди = все говорили бы) 'Where's little Piglet been blown to (куда задуло = занесло ветром маленького Пятачка)?' — really wanting to know (действительно желая знать /это/). Well, good-bye (ну, до свидания). And thank you for happening to pass me (и спасибо за то, что случайно проходили мимо меня)."

"Good-bye (до свидания)," said Pooh and Piglet for the last time (сказали Пух и Пятачок в последний раз), and they pushed on to Owl's house (и они поспешили к дому Филина).

blown [blqun], pass [pRs], last [lRst]

"Good-bye," said Eeyore. "Mind you don't get blown away, little Piglet. You'd be missed. People would say 'Where's little Piglet been blown to?' — really wanting to know. Well, good-bye. And thank you for happening to pass me."

"Good-bye," said Pooh and Piglet for the last time, and they pushed on to Owl's house.

The wind was against them now (теперь ветер был им навстречу), and Piglet's ears streamed behind him like banners (и ушки Пятачка развевались позади него, как флажки) as he fought his way along (в то время, как он с трудом продвигался вперед; to fight one’s way along — прокладывать себе дорогу вперед; пробиваться с трудом вперед), and it seemed hours (и, казалось, /прошли/ часы) before he got them into the shelter of the Hundred Acre Wood (прежде чем он привел их в убежище Сто-Акрового Леса) and they stood up straight again (и они снова стали торчком), to listen, a little nervously, to the roaring of the gale among the treetops (чтобы прислушаться, немного нервно, к реву бури среди вершин деревьев).

"Supposing a tree fell down (предположим, упало бы дерево), Pooh, when we were underneath it (Пух, когда мы были бы под ним)?"

"Supposing it didn't (предположим, что не упало бы)," said Pooh after careful thought (сказал Пух после тщательного размышления).

fought [fLt], straight [streIt], roaring ['rLrIN]

The wind was against them now, and Piglet's ears streamed behind him like banners as he fought his way along, and it seemed hours before he got them into the shelter of the Hundred Acre Wood and they stood up straight again, to listen, a little nervously, to the roaring of the gale among the treetops.

"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?"

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

Piglet was comforted by this (это утешило Пятачка), and in a little while they were knocking and ringing very cheerfully at Owl's door (и вскоре они стучали и звонили очень радостно в дверь Филина).

"Hallo, Owl," said Pooh (привет, Филин, — сказал Пух). "I hope we're not too late for (надеюсь, мы не опоздали к) — I mean, how are you, Owl (я хочу сказать, как ты поживаешь, Филин)? Piglet and I just came to see how you were (мы с Пятачком просто пришли узнать, как ты поживаешь) because it's Thursday (потому что /сегодня/ Четверг)."
