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

Christopher Robin didn't stop to wonder. He was already back in his house, putting on his waterproof hat, his waterproof boots, and his waterproof macintosh as fast as he could.

"We'll go and look for it at once," he called out to Eeyore.

"Sometimes," said Eeyore, "when people have quite finished taking a person’s house, there are one or two bits which they don't want and are rather glad for the person to take back, if you know what I mean. So I thought if we just went — "

"Come on," said Christopher Robin (идем, — сказал Кристофер Робин), and off they hurried (и они поспешили /прочь/), and in a very little time they got to the corner of the field (и очень скоро они добрались до угла поля) by the side of the pine-wood, where Eeyore's house wasn't any longer (у края сосняка, где больше не было дома Иа).

"There!" said Eeyore (ну вот! — сказал Иа). "Not a stick of it left (не осталось ни одной палочки)! Of course, I've still got all this snow to do what I like with (конечно, у меня все еще есть весь этот снег, с которым я могу сделать что угодно). One mustn't complain (нельзя жаловаться)."

But Christopher Robin wasn't listening to Eeyore (но Кристофер Робин не слушал Иа), he was listening to something else (он прислушивался к чему-то другому).

"Can you hear it?" he asked (ты слышишь /это/? — спросил он).

"What is it (что /это/)? Somebody laughing (кто-то смеется)?"

"Listen (послушай)."

course [kLs], mustn't [mAsnt], laugh [lRf]

"Come on," said Christopher Robin, and off they hurried, and in a very little time they got to the corner of the field by the side of the pine-wood, where Eeyore's house wasn't any longer.

"There!" said Eeyore. "Not a stick of it left! Of course, I've still got all this snow to do what I like with. One mustn't complain."

But Christopher Robin wasn't listening to Eeyore, he was listening to something else.

"Can you hear it?" he asked.

"What is it? Somebody laughing?"

"Listen."

They both listened (они оба прислушались)... and they heard a deep gruff voice saying in a singing voice (и они услышали низкий грубый голос, говорящий певческим голосом = поющий), that the more it snowed the more it went on snowing (что чем больше идет снег, тем больше он продолжает идти), and a small high voice tiddely-pom-ming in between (и тоненький высокий голосок, тирли-бомкающий в промежутках).

"It's Pooh," said Christopher Robin excitedly (это Пух, — сказал взволнованно Кристофер Робин)...

"Possibly," said Eeyore (возможно, — сказал Иа).

"And Piglet!" said Christopher Robin excitedly (и Пятачок! — сказал взволнованно Кристофер Робин).

"Probably," said Eeyore (вероятно, — сказал Иа). "What we want is a Trained Bloodhound (что нам нужно, так это Обученная Ищейка)."

The words of the song changed suddenly (слова песни внезапно изменились).

between [bI'twJn], probably ['prObqblI], bloodhound ['blAdhaund]

They both listened ... and they heard a deep gruff voice saying in a singing voice that the more it snowed the more it went on snowing, and a small high voice tiddely-pom-ming in between.

"It's Pooh," said Christopher Robin excitedly...

"Possibly," said Eeyore.

"And Piglet!" said Christopher Robin excitedly.

"Probably," said Eeyore. "What we want is a Trained Bloodhound."

The words of the song changed suddenly.

"We've finished our HOUSE!" sang the gruff voice (мы закончили наш ДОМ! — пел грубый голос).

"Tiddely pom!" sang the squeaky one (тирли-бом! — пел писклявый /голос/).

"It's a beautiful HOUSE (это красивый ДОМ)... "

"The House at Pooh Corner (дом на Пуховом Углу)..."

"Tiddely pom (тирли-бом)... "

"I wish it were MINE (я желаю, чтобы он был МОИМ = жаль, что он не МОЙ)... "

"Tiddely pom (тирли-бом)..."

"Pooh!" shouted Christopher Robin (Пух! — закричал Кристофер Робин)...

beautiful ['bjHtIful], squeaky ['skwJkI], were [wW]

"We've finished our HOUSE!" sang the gruff voice.

"Tiddely pom!" sang the squeaky one.

"It's a beautiful HOUSE... "

"The House at Pooh Corner..."

"Tiddely pom... "

"/ wish it were MINE... "

"Tiddely pom..."

"Pooh!" shouted Christopher Robin...

The singers on the gate stopped suddenly (певцы на воротах вдруг остановились = замолчали).

"It's Christopher Robin!" said Pooh eagerly (это Кристофер Робин! — сказал Пух радостно; eagerly — страстно желающий, стремящийся).

"He's round by the place (он где-то около того места) where we got all those sticks from," said Piglet (откуда мы взяли = принесли все эти палки, — сказал Пятачок).

"Come on," said Pooh (идем, — сказал Пух).

They climbed down their gate and hurried round the corner of the wood (они слезли со /своих/ ворот и поспешили за угол леса), Pooh making welcoming noises all the way (при этом Пух всю дорогу издавал приветственные звуки; welcoming — гостеприимный).
