ought [], work [], full [fʊl]

“I think,” said Christopher Robin, “that we ought to eat all our Provisions now, so that we shan't have so much to carry.”

“Eat all our what?” said Pooh.

“All that we've brought,” said Piglet, getting to work.

“That's a good idea,” said Pooh, and he got to work too.

“Have you all got something?” asked Christopher Robin with his mouth full.

“All except me,” said Eeyore (у всех кроме меня, — сказал Иа). “As Usual (как Обычно).” He looked round at them in his melancholy way (он оглянулся на них в своей меланхоличной манере).

I suppose none of you are sitting on a thistle by any chance (я полагаю, /что/ никто из вас случайно /не/ сидит на чертополохе)?”

“I believe I am,” said Pooh (мне кажется, я /сижу/, — сказал Пух). “Ow (ай)!” He got up, and looked behind him (он встал и посмотрел за себя = назад[50]). “Yes, I was (да). I thought so (я так и думал).”

“Thank you, Pooh (спасибо, Пух). If you've quite finished with it (если ты уже совсем закончил /с этим/).” He moved across to Pooh's place, and began to eat (он переместился к месту /где сидел/ Пух и начал есть).

“It doesn't do them any Good, you know, sitting on them,” he went on (знаешь, сидение на нем не приносит ему никакой Пользы, — продолжил он), as he looked up munching (когда он поднял взгляд, чавкая). “Takes all the Life out of them (забирает из него всю Жизнь). Remember that another time, all of you (помните это в следующий раз, все вы). A little Consideration (небольшая Предупредительность), a little Thought for Others (маленькая Мысль о Других), makes all the difference (в этом вся разница).”

As soon as he had finished his lunch Christopher Robin whispered to Rabbit (как только Кристофер Робин закончил свой обед, он прошептал /что-то/ Кролику), and Rabbit said “Yes, yes, of course (а Кролик сказал: да, да, конечно),” and they walked a little way up the stream together (и они вместе отошли немного выше по течению).

“I didn't want the others to hear,” said Christopher Robin (я не хочу, чтобы остальные слышали, — сказал Кристофер Робин).

“Quite so,” said Rabbit, looking important (несомненно: «вполне так», — сказал Кролик, выглядя важно = напуская важность).

“It's — I wondered — It's only — Rabbit, I suppose you don't know (дело в том — я хотел спросить — только — Кролик, я полагаю, ты не знаешь), What does the North Pole look like (Как выглядит Северный Полюс)?”

“Well,” said Rabbit, stroking his whiskers (ну, — сказал Кролик, поглаживая /свои/ усы). “Now you're asking me (вот ты спрашиваешь меня).”

“I didn't want the others to hear,” said Christopher Robin.

“It's — I wondered — It's only — Rabbit, I suppose you don't know, What does the North Pole look like?”

“Well,” said Rabbit, stroking his whiskers. “Now you're asking me.”

“I did know once, only I've sort of forgotten (я когда-то знал, только /я/ типа[51] забыл; to forget — забыть; sort of — вроде, как бы),” said Christopher Robin carelessly (сказал Кристофер Робин небрежно).

“It's a funny thing,” said Rabbit (забавная штука, — сказал Кролик), “but I've sort of forgotten too (но я тоже типа забыл), although I did know once (хотя когда-то я знал).”

“I suppose it's just a pole stuck in the ground (я полагаю, это просто палка, торчащая в земле; pole — столб, шест, жердь; веха, кол; полюс: один из двух концов оси; to stick — втыкать, торчать)?”

“Sure to be a pole,” said Rabbit (наверняка палка, — сказал Кролик), “because of calling it a pole, and if it's a pole (потому что называется палкой = осью[52], а если это палка), well, I should think it would be sticking in the ground, shouldn't you (ну, я предположил бы, что она торчала бы в земле, не так ли), because there'd be nowhere else to stick it (потому что некуда больше было бы воткнуть ее).”

“Yes, that's what I thought (да, именно так я и думал).”

“The only thing,” said Rabbit (единственное, — сказал Кролик), “is, where is it sticking (это — где она торчит)?”

“That's what we're looking for,” said Christopher Robin (вот это мы и ищем, — сказал Кристофер Робин).

although [], once [], only []

“I did know once, only I've sort of forgotten,” said Christopher Robin carelessly.
