Дом на Пуховом углу - [10]

"Much better," said Pooh and Piglet together.

"It just shows what can be done by taking a little trouble," said Eeyore. "Do you see, Pooh? Do you see, Piglet? Brains first and then Hard Work. Look at it! That's the way to build a house," said Eeyore proudly.

So they left him in it (и они оставили его в нем); and Christopher Robin went back to lunch with his friends Pooh and Piglet (а Кристофер Робин вернулся к обеду со своими друзьями Пухом и Пятачком), and on the way they told him of the Awful Mistake (и по дороге они рассказали ему об Ужасной Ошибке) they had made (которую они совершили). And when he had finished laughing (а когда он закончил смеяться), they all sang the Outdoor Song for Snowy Weather the rest of the way home (они все запели Уличную Песню для Снежной Погоды /и пели ее/ на протяжении остального пути домой), Piglet, who was still not quite sure of his voice, putting in the tiddely-poms again (/при этом/ Пятачок, который все еще был не совсем уверен в своем голосе, снова вставлял тирли-бомы).

"And I know it seemseasy," said Piglet to himself (и я знаю, /что/ это кажется легко, — сказал Пятачок про себя), "but it isn't everyonewho could do it (но не всякий мог бы сделать это)."

Chapter IIIN WHICH TIGGER COMES TO THE FOREST AND HAS BREAKFAST

Глава 2В которой Тигер приходит в лес и завтракает

Winnie-the-Pooh woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and listened (Винни-Пух проснулся внезапно среди ночи и прислушался; to wake up — просыпаться). Then he got out of bed (затем он выбрался из постели), and lit his candle (и зажег свечу; to light — зажигать), and stumped across the room to see (и протопал через комнату, чтобы выяснить) if anybody was trying to get into his honey-cupboard (/не/ пытается ли кто-нибудь забраться в его буфет с медом), and they weren't (но никто не пытался: «а они не были»), so he stumped back again (и он снова приковылял назад), blew out his candle (задул /свою/ свечу), and got into bed (и забрался / лег в постель). Then he heard the noise again (потом он снова услышал /этот/ шум).

Winnie-the-Pooh woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and listened. Then he got out of bed, and lit his candle, and stumped across the room to see if anybody was trying to get into his honey-cupboard, and they weren't, so he stumped back again, blew out his candle, and got into bed. Then he heard the noise again.

"Is that you, Piglet?" he said (это ты, Пятачок? — спросил он).

But it wasn't (но это не был = был не Пятачок).

"Come in, Christopher Robin," he said (входи, Кристофер Робин, — сказал он).

But Christopher Robin didn't (но Кристофер Робин не вошел).

"Tell me about it to-morrow, Eeyore (расскажи мне об этом завтра, Иа)," said Pooh sleepily (сказал сонно Пух).

But the noise went on (но шум продолжался; to go on — продолжаться).

"Worraworraworraworraworra," said Whatever-it-was (ворраворраворраворра, — сказал Кто-бы-то-ни-был), and Pooh found that he wasn't asleep after all (и Пух обнаружил, что он таки не спит; after all — витоге, вконцеконцов, таки, как-никак).

"Is that you, Piglet?" he said.

But it wasn't.

"Come in, Christopher Robin," he said.

But Christopher Robin didn't.

"Tell me about it to-morrow, Eeyore," said Pooh sleepily.

But the noise went on.

"Worraworraworraworraworra," said Whatever-it-was, and Pooh found that he wasn't asleep after all.

"What can it be?" he thought (что это может быть? — подумал он). "There are lots of noises in the Forest (в Лесу много звуков / шумов), but this is a different one (но это иной = нетакой звук). It isn't a growl (это не рычание), and it isn't a purr (и это не мурлыканье), and it isn't a bark (и это не лай), and it isn't the noise-you-make-before-beginning-a-piece-of-poetry (и это не шум-который-ты-создаешь-перед-началом-стихотворения), but it's a noise of some kind (но это какой-то шум), made by a strange animal (производимый незнакомым животным)! And he's making it outside my door (и оно производит его снаружи /перед/ моей дверью). So I shall get up and ask him not to do it (поэтому я встану и попрошу его не делать этого)."

He got out of bed and opened his front door (он вылез из кровати и открыл /свою/ входную дверь).

"Hallo!" said Pooh (привет! — сказал Пух), in case there was anything outside (на тот случай, если снаружи кто-то был).
