Дом на Пуховом углу - [6]

Christopher Robin had spent the morning indoors going to Africa and back, and he had just got off the boat and was wondering what it was like outside, when who should come knocking at the door but Eeyore.

"Hallo, Eeyore," said Christopher Robin (привет, Иа, — сказал Кристофер Робин), as he opened the door and came out (когда он открыл дверь и вышел). "How are you(как /ты/ поживаешь)?"

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily (все еще идет снег, — сказал Иа угрюмо).

"So it is (да)."

"And freezing (и морозит)."

"Is it (неужели)?"

"Yes," said Eeyore (да, — сказал Иа). "However," he said, brightening up a little (однако, — сказал он, немного наполняясь радостью; bright — светлый; to brighten up — проясняться; наполнять(ся) радостью), "we haven't had an earthquake lately (в последнее время у нас не было землетрясений)."

"What's the matter, Eeyore (что случилось: «в чем дело», Иа)?"

"Hallo, Eeyore," said Christopher Robin, as he opened the door and came out. "How are you?"

"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.

"So it is."

"And freezing."

"Is it?"

"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."

"What's the matter, Eeyore?"

"Nothing, Christopher Robin (ничего, Кристофер Робин). Nothing important (ничего существенного). I suppose you haven't seen a house or what-not anywhere about (я полагаю, ты не видел дома или чего-нибудь наподобие этого где-нибудь поблизости; to suppose — предполагать)?"

"What sort of a house (какого дома)?"

"Just a house (просто дома)."

"Who lives there (кто там = в нем живет)?"

"I do (я). At least I thought I did (по крайней мере, я думал, что я). But I suppose I don't (но /я/ допускаю, что не я = это не так). After all, we can't all have houses (в конце концов, не могут быть дома у всех нас)."

"But, Eeyore, I didn't know — I always thought (но, Иа, я не знал — я всегда думал) — "

"Nothing, Christopher Robin. Nothing important. I suppose you haven't seen a house or what-not anywhere about?"

"What sort of a house?"

"Just a house."

"Who lives there?"

"I do. At least I thought I did. But I suppose I don't. After all, we can't all have houses."

"But, Eeyore, I didn't know — I always thought — "

"I don't know how it is, Christopher Robin (я не знаю, как это так, Кристофер Робин), but what with all this snow and one thing and another (но со всем этим снегом и то одним, то другим), not to mention icicles and such-like (не говоря уже о сосульках и тому подобном), it isn't so Hot in my field about three o'clock in the morning (не так уж Жарко на моем поле около трех часов утра) as some people think it is (как считают некоторые /люди/). It isn't Close (не удушливо), if you know what I mean — not so as to be uncomfortable (если ты понимаешь, что я имею в виду — не так, чтобы чувствовать себя стесненно; to know — понимать, осознавать). It isn't Stuffy (не душно). In fact, Christopher Robin," he went on in a loud whisper (по сути, Кристофер Робин, продолжил он громким шепотом), "quite-between-ourselves-and-don't-tell-anybody, it's Cold (только-между-нами-и-не-говори-никому, Холодно)."

"Oh, Eeyore (ах, Иа)!"

"I don't know how it is, Christopher Robin, but what with all this snow and one thing and another, not to mention icicles and such-like, it isn't so Hot in my field about three o'clock in the morning as some people think it is. It isn't Close, if you know what I mean — not so as to be uncomfortable. It isn't Stuffy. In fact, Christopher Robin," he went on in a loud whisper, "quite-between-ourselves-and-don't-tell-anybody, it's Cold."

"Oh, Eeyore!"

"And I said to myself (и я сказал себе): The others will be sorry if I'm getting myself all cold (остальным будет жаль, если я совсем замерзну). They haven't got Brains, any of them (у них нет Мозгов, ни у кого из них), only grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake (только серый пух, который вдули в их головы по ошибке), and they don't Think, but if it goes on snowing for another six weeks or so (и они не Думают, но если снег будет продолжать идти еще шесть недель или около того), one of them will begin to say to himself (один из них начнет говорить себе): 'Eeyore can't be so very much too Hot about three o'clock in the morning (не может быть, чтобы Иа было так уж слишком очень Жарко около трех часов утра).' And then it will Get About (и тогда это = эта весть Распространится). And they'll be Sorry (и им станет Жаль)."

"Oh, Eeyore (ах, Иа)!" said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин), feeling very sorry already (уже испытывая большое сожаление: «чувствуя очень сожалеющим»).

And then it will Get About. And they'll be Sorry."
