Дом на Пуховом углу - [55]
sunny ['sAnI], stood [stud], able [eIbl]
Christopher Robin came down from the Forest to the bridge, feeling all sunny and careless, and just as if twice nineteen didn't matter a bit, as it didn't on such a happy afternoon, and he thought that if he stood on the bottom rail of the bridge, and leant over, and watched the river slipping slowly away beneath him, then he would suddenly know everything that there was to be known, and he would be able to tell Pooh, who wasn't quite sure about some of it. But when he got to the bridge and saw all the animals there, then he knew that it wasn't that kind of afternoon, but the other kind, when you wanted to do something.
"It's like this, Christopher Robin (дело в том, Кристофер Робин)," began Rabbit (начал Кролик). "Tigger (/что/ Тигер) — "
"No, I didn't (нет, я /этого/ не делал)," said Tigger (сказал Тигер).
"Well, anyhow, there I was (ну, во всяком случае, я там оказался)," said Eeyore (сказал Иа).
"But I don't think he meant to (но я не думаю, что он хотел /этого/)," said Pooh (сказал Пух).
"He just is bouncy," said Piglet (он просто прыгучий и наскакливый, — сказал Пятачок; bouncy — живой, подвижный), "and he can't help it (и он не может без этого / ничего не может с этим поделать; can'thelp — не может не)."
"Try bouncing me, Tigger (попробуй наскочить на меня, Тигер)," said Roo eagerly (сказал Ру, страстно желая /помочь/).

"It's like this, Christopher Robin," began Rabbit. "Tigger — "
"No, I didn't," said Tigger.
"Well, anyhow, there I was," said Eeyore.
"But I don't think he meant to," said Pooh.
"He just is bouncy," said Piglet, "and he can't help it."
"Try bouncing me, Tigger," said Roo eagerly.
"Eeyore, Tigger's going to try me (Иа, Тигер попробует на мне). Piglet, do you think (Пятачок, ты думаешь) — "
"Yes, yes," said Rabbit (да, да, — сказал Кролик), "we don't all want to speak at once (не нужно нам говорить всем одновременно). The point is, what does Christopher Robin think about it (дело в том = вопрос в том, что думает Кристофер Робин об этом)?"
"All I did was I coughed (все, что я сделал, это кашлянул)," said Tigger (сказал Тигер).
"He bounced (он наскочил)," said Eeyore (сказал Иа).
"Well, I sort of boffed (ну, я типа наскачлянул[49])," said Tigger (сказал Тигер).
try [traI], speak [spJk], does [dAz]
"Eeyore, Tigger's going to try me. Piglet, do you think — "
"Yes, yes," said Rabbit, "we don't all want to speak at once. The point is, what does Christopher Robin think about it?"
"All I did was I coughed," said Tigger.
"He bounced," said Eeyore.
"Well, I sort of boffed," said Tigger.
"Hush!" said Rabbit (ша! — сказал Кролик), holding up his paw (поднимая /свою/ лапку). "What does Christopher Robin think about it all (что думает Кристофер Робин обо всем этом)? That's the point (вот в чем вопрос[50])."
"Well," said Christopher Robin (ну, — сказал Кристофер Робин), not quite sure what it was all about (не совсем уверенный = несовсемпонимая о чем все это). "I think (я думаю) — "
"Yes?" said everybody (да? — сказали все).
"I think we all ought to play Poohsticks (я думаю, нам всем надо поиграть в Пустяки)."
hush [hAS], hold [hquld], point [pOInt]
"Hush!" said Rabbit, holding up his paw. "What does Christopher Robin think about it all? That's the point."
"Well," said Christopher Robin, not quite sure what it was all about. "I think — "
"Yes?" said everybody.
"I think we all ought to play Poohsticks."
So they did (и они поиграли). And Eeyore, who had never played it before (а Иа, который никогда прежде не играл в это), won more times than anybody else (выиграл больше раз, чем кто-либо другой); and Roo fell in twice (а Ру упал два раза в воду), the first time by accident and the second time on purpose (первый раз случайно, а второй раз нарочно), because he suddenly saw Kanga coming from the Forest (потому что он вдруг увидел Кенгу, которая шла из Леса), and he knew he'd have to go to bed anyhow (а он знал, что ему придется в любом случае ложиться спать). So then Rabbit said he'd go with them (и тогда Кролик сказал, что пойдет с ними); and Tigger and Eeyore went off together (а Тигер и Иа ушли вместе), because Eeyore wanted to tell Tigger How to Win at Poohsticks (потому что Иа захотел рассказать Тигеру, Как Выигрывать в Пустяки), which you do (что ты делаешь = чтоутебяполучается) by letting your stick drop in a twitchy sort of way (пуская = когдатыпускаешь твою палку с подергиванием; to let drop — ронять), if you understand what I mean, Tigger (если ты понимаешь, что я имею в виду, Тигер); and Christopher Robin and Pooh and Piglet were left on the bridge by themselves (а Кристофер Робин и Пух и Пятачок остались на мосту одни;
