Английский язык с Винни-Пухом - [31]

“Bother!” said Pooh (Ай-ай-ай! — сказал Пух). “It all comes of trying to be kind to Heffalumps (это все происходит оттого, что пытаешься быть добрым со Слонопотамами).” And he got back into bed (и он вернулся в кровать).

this [], three [], suddenly []

He had murmured this to himself three times in a singing sort of way, when suddenly he remembered. He had put it into the Cunning Trap to catch the Heffalump.

“Bother!” said Pooh. “It all comes of trying to be kind to Heffalumps.” And he got back into bed.

But he couldn't sleep (но он не мог спать). The more he tried to sleep (чем больше он пытался заснуть), the more he couldn't (тем больше /он/ не мог). He tried Counting Sheep (он пробовал Считать Овец), which is sometimes a good way of getting to sleep (что иногда бывает хорошим способом заснуть), and, as that was no good (и когда это не помогло), he tried counting Heffalumps (он попробовал считать Слонопотамов). And that was worse (а это было еще хуже). Because every Heffalump that he counted (потому что каждый Слонопотам, которого он сосчитал) was making straight for a pot of Pooh's honey (направлялся прямиком к горшку Пухового меда), and eating it all (и съедал его весь = целиком). For some minutes he lay there miserably (несколько минут он лежал там несчастно), but when the five hundred and eighty-seventh Heffalump was licking its jaws (но когда 587-й Слонопотам облизывал свою пасть), and saying to itself (и говорил себе), “Very good honey this, I don't know when I've tasted better (это очень хороший мед, я не знаю, когда я пробовал лучше)” Pooh could bear it no longer (Пух больше не смог вынести этого). He jumped out of bed (он выскочил из кровати), he ran out of the house (он выбежал из дома; to run — бежать), and he ran straight to the Six Pine Trees (и /он/ побежал прямиком к Шести Соснам).

But he couldn't sleep. The more he tried to sleep, the more he couldn't. He tried Counting Sheep, which is sometimes a good way of getting to sleep, and, as that was no good, he tried counting Heffalumps. And that was worse. Because every Heffalump that he counted was making straight for a pot of Pooh's honey, and eating it all. For some minutes he lay there miserably, but when the five hundred and eighty-seventh Heffalump was licking its jaws, and saying to itself, “Very good honey this, I don't know when I've tasted better,” Pooh could bear it no longer. He jumped out of bed, he ran out of the house, and he ran straight to the Six Pine Trees.

The Sun was still in bed (Солнце все еще было в постели), but there was a lightness in the sky over the Hundred Acre Wood (но в небе над Сто-Акровым Лесом был светлый оттенок), which seemed to show that it was waking up (который, казалось, показывал, что оно просыпается) and would soon be kicking off the clothes (и скоро сбросит постельное белье = выберется из-под постельного белья). In the half-light the Pine Trees looked cold and lonely (в полусвете Сосны казались холодными и одинокими), and the Very Deep Pit seemed deeper than it was (а Очень Глубокая Яма казалась глубже, чем она была), and Pooh's jar of honey at the bottom was something mysterious, a shape and no more (а Пухова банка меда на дне была чем-то таинственным, /неясным/ очертанием и ничем более). But as he got nearer to it his nose told him that it was indeed honey (но когда он подобрался ближе к ней, его нос сказал ему, что это был в самом деле мед), and his tongue came out and began to polish up his mouth, ready for it (а его язык высунулся и начал шлифовать его рот, готовый к этому).

But as he got nearer to it his nose told him that it was indeed honey, and his tongue came out and began to polish up his mouth, ready for it.

“Bother!” said Pooh, as he got his nose inside the jar (Ах-ты! — сказал Пух, когда он засунул свой нос внутрь банки). “A Heffalump has been eating it (Слонопотам ел его)!” And then he thought a little and said (а потом он немного подумал и сказал), “Oh, no, I did (ах, нет, это я). I forgot (я забыл; to forget — забыть).”

Indeed, he had eaten most of it (в самом деле, он съел большую часть /его/). But there was a little left at the very bottom of the jar (но немножко осталось на самом донышке банки), and he pushed his head right in, and began to lick (и он засунул /свою/ голову целиком вовнутрь и начал лизать; to begin — начать)….
