Дом на Пуховом углу - [26]

"Rum-tum-tum-tiddle-um," said Christopher Robin in a voice like Pooh's. Because Pooh had once invented a song which went:

Tra-la-la, tra-la-la,

Tra-la-la, tra-la-la,

Rum-tum-tum-tiddle-um[18].

So whenever Christopher Robin sings it (и когда бы Кристофер Робин не пел ее), he always sings it in a Pooh-voice (он всегда поет ее Пуховым голосом), which seems to suit it better (который, кажется, подходит ей лучше).

"He's said the wrong thing (он сказал не то)," thought Piglet anxiously (подумал обеспокоенно Пятачок). "He ought to have said, 'Ho-ho!' again (он должен был сказать еще раз Хо-хо). Perhaps I had better say it for him (может быть, мне лучше сказать это за него)." And, as fiercely as he could, Piglet said: "Ho-ho(и как можно свирепее Пятачок сказал: Хо-хо)!"

"How did you get there, Piglet (как ты туда попал, Пятачок)?" said Christopher Robin in his ordinary voice (спросил Кристофер Робин /своим/ обычным голосом).

"How did you get there, Piglet?" said Christopher Robin in his ordinary voice.

"This is Terrible," thought Piglet (это Ужасно, — подумал Пятачок). "First he talks in Pooh's voice (сначала он говорит голосом Пуха), and then he talks in Christopher Robin's voice (а потом он говорит голосом Кристофера Робина), and he's doing it so as to Unsettle me (и он делает это, чтобы Выбить меня из Колеи; to settle — поселить, водворить; to unsettle — сдвигатьсместа; выбиватьизколеи, тревожить)." And being now Completely Unsettled (и будучи теперь Совершенно Выбитым из Колеи), he said very quickly and squeakily (он сказал очень быстро и пискляво; to squeak — пищать): "This is a trap for Poohs (это западня для Пухов), and I'm waiting to fall in it (а я жду, когда свалюсь в нее), ho-ho, what's all this (хо-хо, что все это /значит/, and then I say ho-ho again (и потом я опять говорю хо-хо)."

"What?" said Christopher Robin (что? — спросил Кристофер Робин).

"A trap for ho-ho's," said Piglet huskily (западня для хо-хоев, — сказал Пятачок хрипло). "I've just made it (я только что сделал ее), and I'm waiting for the ho-ho to come-come (и я жду, /когда/ придет-придет хо-хо)."

And being now Completely Unsettled, he said very quickly and squeakily: "This is a trap for Poohs, and I'm waiting to fall in it, ho-ho, what's all this, and then I say ho-ho again."

"What?" said Christopher Robin.

"A trap for ho-ho's," said Piglet huskily. "I've just made it, and I'm waiting for the ho-ho to come-come."

How long Piglet would have gone on like this (как долго Пятачок продолжал бы так = втомжедухе) I don't know (я не знаю), but at that moment Pooh woke up suddenly (но в этот момент Пух неожиданно пробудился / очнулся) and decided that it was sixteen (и решил, что /их/ шестнадцать). So he got up (поэтому он встал); and as he turned his head (и когда он повернул /свою/ голову) so as to soothe himself in that awkward place in the middle of the back (чтобы облегчить себя = неприятныеощущения в этом неудобном / труднодоступном месте посредине спины) where something was tickling him (где что-то щекотало его), he saw Christopher Robin (он увидел Кристофера Робина).

"Hallo!" he shouted joyfully (привет! — радостно крикнул он).

"Hallo, Pooh (привет, Пух)."

"Hallo, Pooh."

Piglet looked up (Пятачок посмотрел вверх), and looked away again (и снова отвел взгляд). And he felt so Foolish and Uncomfortable (и он почувствовал себя так Глупо и Неудобно) that he had almost decided to run away to Sea and be a Sailor (что он едва не решил убежать на Море и стать Моряком), when suddenly he saw something (когда вдруг он что-то увидел).

"Pooh!" he cried (Пух! — крикнул он). "There's something climbing up your back (что-то = кто-то карабкается у тебя по спине)."

"I thought there was," said Pooh (я так и думал, — сказал Пух).

"It's Small!" cried Piglet (это Малявка! — закричал Пятачок).

"Oh, that’s who it is, is it?" said Pooh (а, так вот кто это такой, — сказал Пух).

"Christopher Robin, I've found Small!" cried Piglet (Кристофер Робин, я нашел Малявку! — прокричал Пятачок).
