Дом на Пуховом углу - [19]
right [raIt], case [keIs], anywhere ['enIwFq]
"Fourteen, that's right."
"Are you sure?"
"No," said Rabbit. "Does it matter?"
"I just like to know," said Pooh humbly. "So as I can say to myself: 'I've got fourteen pots of honey left.' Or fifteen, as the case may be. It's sort of comforting."
"Well, let's call it sixteen," said Rabbit. "What I came to say was: Have you seen Small anywhere about?"
"I don't think so," said Pooh. And then, after thinking a little more, he said: "Who is Small?"
"One of my friends-and-relations (один из моих друзей и родственников)," said Rabbit carelessly (сказал небрежно Кролик).
This didn't help Pooh much (это не очень помогло Пуху), because Rabbit had so many friends-and-relations (потому что у Кролика было так много друзей и родственников), and of such different sorts and sizes (и таких разных видов и размеров), that he didn't know (что он не знал) whether he ought to be looking for Small at the top of an oak-tree or in the petal of a buttercup (должен ли он искать = искатьлиему Малявку на верхушке дуба или в лепестке лютика).
"I haven't seen anybody to-day," said Pooh (я не видел сегодня никого, — сказал Пух), "not so as to say 'Hallo, Small!' to (не так, чтобы сказать = кому можно было бы сказать: привет, Малявка). Did you want him for anything (тебе он для чего-то понадобился)?"
"I don't want him,"said Rabbit (он мне не нужен, — сказал Кролик). "But it's always useful to know (но всегда полезно знать) where a friend-and-relation is(где любой друг и родственник), whether you want him or whether you don't (нужен он тебе или нет)."

"Oh, I see," said Pooh (а, понятно, — сказал Пух). "Is he lost (он потерялся; to lose — терять)?"
"Well," said Rabbit (ну, — сказал Кролик), "nobody has seen him for a long time (никто его давно /не/ видел), so I suppose he is (поэтому я полагаю, что он /потерялся/). Anyhow," he went on importantly (как бы там ни было, — продолжал он важно), "I promised Christopher Robin I'd Organize a Search for him (я обещал Кристоферу Робину, что /я/ Организую Поиск его), so come on (так что идем)."
Pooh said good-bye affectionately to his fourteen pots of honey (Пух нежно / сердечно попрощался со своими четырнадцатью горшками меда; to say good-bye — прощаться), and hoped they were fifteen (и надеялся, что их пятнадцать); and he and Rabbit went out into the Forest (и он и Кролик вышли в Лес).
"Now," said Rabbit (вот, — сказал Кролик), "this is a Search (это Поиск), and I've Organized it (и я Организовал его) —
"Done what to it?" said Pooh (сделал ему что? — спросил Пух).

"Done what to it?" said Pooh.
"Organized it (организовал его). Which means — well (что означает — ну), it's what you do to a Search (то, что ты делаешь с Поиском), when you don't all look in the same place at once (когда вы все не смотрите = ищете одновременно в одном и том же месте). So I want you, Pooh, to search by the Six Pine Trees first (поэтому я хочу, чтобы ты, Пух, поискал сначала у Шести Сосен), and then work your way towards Owl's House (а потом продвигался к Дому Филина; to work one’s way — продвигаться, пробираться), and look out for me there (и высматривал там меня; to look out for — высматривать, увидеть, подыскивать). Do you see (понятно: «ты видишь»)?"
"No," said Pooh (нет, — сказал Пух). "What (что) — "
"Then I'll see you at Owl's House in about an hour's time (тогда я увижусь / встречусь с тобой у Дома Филина приблизительно через час)."
"Is Piglet organized too (/а/ Пятачок тоже организован)?"
"We all are," said Rabbit, and off he went (мы все /организованы/, — сказал Кролик, и убежал;togooff — уходить, уезжать, убегать).
