Дом на Пуховом углу - [35]

whether ['weDq], stroll [strqul], none [nAn]

Whether he would have thought of anything before he had finished the last sandwich, I don't know, but he had just got to the last but one when there was a crackling in the bracken, and Christopher Robin and Eeyore came strolling along together.

"I shouldn't be surprised if it hailed a good deal tomorrow," Eeyore was saying. "Blizzards and what-not. Being fine to-day doesn't Mean Anything. It has no sig — what's that word? Well, it has none of that. It's just a small piece of weather."

"There's Pooh!" said Christopher Robin (тут Пух! — сказал Кристофер Робин), who didn't much mind what it did to-morrow (которого не очень тревожило, что будет завтра), as long as he was out in it (пока он еще был вне этого).

"Hallo, Pooh (привет, Пух)!"

"It's Christopher Robin!" said Piglet (/это/ Кристофер Робин! — сказал Пятачок), "He'll know what to do (он будет знать = онсообразит, что делать)."

They hurried up to him (они поспешили к нему).

"Oh, Christopher Robin," began Pooh (ах, Кристофер Робин, — начал Пух).

"And Eeyore," said Eeyore (и Иа, — сказал Иа).

"Tigger and Roo are right up the Six Pine Trees (Тигер и Ру прямо /над нами/ на Шести Соснах), and they can't get down, and (и они не могут спуститься, и) — "

"And I was just saying," put in Piglet (и я как раз говорил, — вставил Пятачок), "that if only Christopher Robin (что если бы только Кристофер Робин) — "

"And Eeyore (и Иа) — "

mind [maInd], said [sed], began [bI'gxn]

"There's Pooh!" said Christopher Robin, who didn't much mind what it did to-morrow, as long as he was out in it.

"Hallo, Pooh!"

"It's Christopher Robin!" said Piglet, "He'll know what to do."

They hurried up to him.

"Oh, Christopher Robin," began Pooh.

"And Eeyore," said Eeyore.

"Tigger and Roo are right up the Six Pine Trees, and they can't get down, and — "

"And I was just saying," put in Piglet, "that if only Christopher Robin — "

"And Eeyore — "

"If only you were here (если бы только вы были здесь), then we could think of something to do (то мы могли бы придумать что-нибудь /чтобы сделать/)."

Christopher Robin looked up at Tigger and Roo (Кристофер Робин посмотрел вверх на Тигера и Ру), and tried to think of something (и попытался что-нибудь придумать).

"I thought," said Piglet earnestly (я подумал, — сказал серьезно Пятачок), "that if Eeyore stood at the bottom of the tree (что если бы Иа встал у подножия дерева), and if Pooh stood on Eeyore's back (и если бы Пух встал на спину Иа), and if I stood on Pooh's shoulders (и если бы я встал на плечи Пуху) — "

"And if Eeyore's back snapped suddenly (и если бы спина Иа вдруг сломалась), then we could all laugh (то мы могли бы все посмеяться). Ha ha (ха-ха)! Amusing in a quiet way," said Eeyore (забавно в скромном виде = скромныезабавы, — сказал Иа), "but not really helpful (но не очень полезные)."

"Well," said Piglet meekly (ну, — сказал кротко Пятачок), "I thought (я думал) — "

"Would it break your back, Eeyore (/а/ твоя спина сломалась бы, Иа)?" asked Pooh, very much surprised (спросил Пух, очень удивленный).

earnestly ['WnIstlI], shoulder ['Squldq], laugh [lRf]

"If only you were here, then we could think of something to do."

Christopher Robin looked up at Tigger and Roo, and tried to think of something.

"I thought," said Piglet earnestly, "that if Eeyore stood at the bottom of the tree, and if Pooh stood on Eeyore's back, and if I stood on Pooh's shoulders — "

"And if Eeyore's back snapped suddenly, then we could all laugh. Ha ha! Amusing in a quiet way," said Eeyore, "but not really helpful."

"Well," said Piglet meekly, "I thought — "

"Would it break your back, Eeyore?" asked Pooh, very much surprised.

"That's what would be so interesting, Pooh (именно это было бы так интересно, Пух). Not being quite sure till afterwards (нет полной уверенности до того как /это случится/; afterwards — впоследствии, позже, потом)."

Pooh said "Oh (Пух сказал ‘А’)!" and they all began to think again (и они все снова начали думать).

"I've got an idea (у меня есть идея)!" cried Christopher Robin suddenly (внезапно воскликнул Кристофер Робин).

"Listen to this, Piglet," said Eeyore (прислушайся к этому, Пятачок, — сказал Иа), "and then you'll know what we're trying to do (и тогда ты узнаешь, что мы попробуем сделать)."

"I'll take off my tunic and we'll each hold a corner (я сниму блузу[28], и мы каждый = все возьмемся за края; tohold — держать), and then Roo and Tigger can jump into it (и тогда Ру и Тигер могут прыгнуть в него), and it will be all soft and bouncy for them (и это будет совершенно мягко и пружинисто для них), and they won't hurt themselves (и они не ушибутся)."

"GettingTiggerdown," said Eeyore (спустить Тигера, — сказал Иа), "and Nothurtinganybody (и Не повредить никому; tohurt — причинять боль, ушибить, ранить, причинять вред). Keep those two ideas in your head, Piglet (сохрани в своей голове = запомни эти две мысли, Пятачок), and you'll be all right (и у тебя будет все в порядке)."
