So they did. And Eeyore, who had never played it before, won more times than anybody else; and Roo fell in twice, the first time by accident and the second time on purpose, because he suddenly saw Kanga coming from the Forest, and he knew he'd have to go to bed anyhow. So then Rabbit said he'd go with them; and Tigger and Eeyore went off together, because Eeyore wanted to tell Tigger How to Win at Poohsticks, which you do by letting your stick drop in a twitchy sort of way, if you understand what I mean, Tigger; and Christopher Robin and Pooh and Piglet were left on the bridge by themselves.
For a long time they looked at the river beneath them (долгое время они смотрели на реку под ними), saying nothing (ничего /не/ говоря), and the river said nothing too (а река тоже ничего /не/ говорила /им/), for it felt very quiet and peaceful on this summer afternoon (так как она чувствовала себя очень тихо и спокойно в этот летний день после полудня).
"Tigger is all right, really (Тигер нормальный = неплохойпарень, в самом деле)," said Piglet lazily (сказал лениво Пятачок).
"Of course he is (конечно, он такой)," said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин).
"Everybody is really," said Pooh (на самом деле все такие, — сказал Пух). "That's what I think," said Pooh (это Я так думаю, — сказал Пух). "But I don't suppose I'm right," he said (но не думаю, что я прав, — сказал он).
"Of course you are (разумеется, ты прав)," said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин).

Chapter VIIIN WHICH TIGGER IS UNBOUNCED
Глава 7В которой Тигера отучают от наскакивания
One day Rabbit and Piglet were sitting outside Pooh's front door listening to Rabbit (однажды Кролик и Пятачок сидели перед входной дверью Пуха, слушая Кролика), and Pooh was sitting with them (а Пух сидел с ними). It was a drowsy summer afternoon (это было навевающее сон время после летнего полдня; to drowse — навевать сон), and the Forest was full of gentle sounds (и Лес был полон тихих звуков), which all seemed to be saying to Pooh (которые, казалось, все /вместе/ говорят Пуху), "Don't listen to Rabbit, listen to me (не слушай Кролика, слушай меня)." So he got into a comfortable position for not listening to Rabbit (поэтому он перешел в = занял удобное положение, чтобы не слушать Кролика), and from time to time he opened his eyes to say "Ah (и время от времени он открывал /свои/ глаза, чтобы сказать «А»)!" and then closed them again to say "True (а потом закрывал их снова, чтобы сказать «точно»)," and from time to time Rabbit said (а Кролик время от времени говорил), "You see what I mean, Piglet (ты понимаешь, что я имею в виду, Пятачок)," very earnestly (очень серьезно), and Piglet nodded earnestly to show that he did (а Пятачок серьезно кивал, чтобы показать, что он понимает).

It was a drowsy summer afternoon, and the Forest was full of gentle sounds, which all seemed to be saying to Pooh, "Don't listen to Rabbit, listen to me." So he got into a comfortable position for not listening to Rabbit, and from time to time he opened his eyes to say "Ah!" and then closed them again to say "True," and from time to time Rabbit said, "You see what I mean, Piglet," very earnestly, and Piglet nodded earnestly to show that he did.
"In fact," said Rabbit (по существу, — сказал Кролик), coming to the end of it at last (подходя, наконец, к концу /его/), "Tigger's getting so Bouncy nowadays (в настоящее время Тигер становится таким Наскакливым) that it's time we taught him a lesson (что пора преподать ему урок; to teach — преподавать, обучать; to teach a lesson — преподатьурок, проучить). Don't you think so, Piglet (не считаешь ли ты так, Пятачок)?"
Piglet said that Tigger was very Bouncy (Пятачок сказал, что Тигер очень Наскакливый), and that if they could think of a way of unbouncing him (и, что если они смогут придумать способ отучить его от наскакивания) it would be a Very Good Idea (это будет Очень Хорошей Идеей).
"Just what I feel," said Rabbit (именно так я и считаю, — сказал Кролик). "What do you say, Pooh (что скажешь, Пух)?"
Pooh opened his eyes with a jerk (Пух, дернувшись, открыл /свои/ глаза) and said, "Extremely (и сказал: чрезвычайно)."
