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

When they got to Owl's old house (когда они добрались до старого дома Филина), they found everybody else there except Eeyore (они обнаружили там всех остальных, кроме Иа). Christopher Robin was telling them what to do (Кристофер Робин говорил им, что делать), and Rabbit was telling them again directly afterwards (а Кролик говорил им еще раз сразу же после этого), in case they hadn't heard (на тот случай, если они не расслышали), and then they were all doing it (и потом они все это делали). They had got a rope (они нашли канат) and were pulling Owl's chairs and pictures and things out of his old house (и вытаскивали стулья и картины Филина, и прочее из его старого дома) so as to be ready to put them into his new one (чтобы быть готовыми к тому, чтобы перенести их в его новый /дом/). Kanga was down below tying the things on (Кенга стояла внизу и перевязывала вещи), and calling out to Owl (и кричала Филину), "You won't want this dirty old dish-cloth any more (тебе больше не понадобится это грязное старое кухонное полотенце), will you (не так ли), and what about this carpet (и что насчет этого ковра), it's all in holes (он весь в дырах)," and Owl was calling back indignantly (а Филин кричал возмущенно), "Of course I do (конечно, понадобится)! It's just a question of arranging the furniture properly (вопрос лишь в том, чтобы привести в надлежащий порядок мебель), and it isn't a dish-cloth (и это не кухонное полотенце), it's my shawl (это моя шаль)."

ready ['redI], furniture ['fWnICq], shawl [SLl]

When they got to Owl's old house, they found everybody else there except Eeyore. Christopher Robin was telling them what to do, and Rabbit was telling them again directly afterwards, in case they hadn't heard, and then they were all doing it. They had got a rope and were pulling Owl's chairs and pictures and things out of his old house so as to be ready to put them into his new one. Kanga was down below tying the things on, and calling out to Owl, "You won't want this dirty old dish-cloth any more, will you, and what about this carpet, it's all in holes," and Owl was calling back indignantly, "Of course I do! It's just a question of arranging the furniture properly, and it isn't a dish-cloth, it's my shawl."

Every now and then Roo fell in and came back on the rope with the next article (то и дело Ру сваливался внутрь и возвращался на канате со следующим предметом), which flustered Kanga a little (что немного нервировало Кенгу) because she never knew where to look for him (потому что она никогда /не/ знала, где его искать). So she got cross with Owl and said (поэтому он рассердилась на Филина и сказала) that his house was a Disgrace (что его дом Позорище), all damp and dirty (весь сырой и грязный), and it was quite time it did tumble down (и ему уже давно пора рухнуть; to tumble down — свалиться, упасть, превратиться в руины). Look at that horrid bunch of toadstools growing out of the corner there (посмотри на эту ужасную гроздь поганок, растущих там в углу)? So Owl looked down (и Филин посмотрел вниз), a little surprised (немного удивленный) because he didn't know about this (потому что он не знал об этом), and then gave a short sarcastic laugh (а потом коротко, язвительно хохотнул), and explained that this was his sponge (и объяснил, что это его губка), and that if people didn't know a perfectly ordinary bath-sponge (и что если люди = кто-то не узнает совершенно обычной банной губки) when they saw it (когда видят ее), things were coming to a pretty pass (/то/ дела принимают скверный оборот; pass — ущелье; перевал; дорога сквозь трудно проходимые места; /критическое/ положение; things have come to a pretty pass — дела приняли скверный оборот).
