grand [grxnd], wonderful ['wAndqful], mind [maInd]
“Party for Me?” thought Pooh to himself. “How grand!” And he began to wonder if all the other animals would know that it was a special Pooh Party, and if Christopher Robin had told them about The Floating Bear and the Brain of Pooh, and all the wonderful ships he had invented and sailed on, and he began to think how awful it would be if everybody had forgotten about it, and nobody quite knew what the party was for; and the more he thought like this, the more the party got muddled in his mind, like a dream when nothing goes right.
And the dream began to sing itself over in his head (и сон начал петься /прокручиваясь/ в его голове) until it became a sort of song (пока он /не/ стал песенкой). It was an
ANXIOUS POOH SONG (это была Тревожная Пухова Песня).
3 Cheers for Pooh (3 Ура за Пуха)
(For Who?) (за Кого?)
For Pooh— (за Пуха)
(Why what did he do?) (почему, что он сделал?)
I thought you knew (я думал, ты знаешь);
He saved his friend from a wetting (он спас /своего/ друга от намокания)!
3 Cheers for Bear (3 Ура за Мишку)!
(For where?) (за кого?)
For Bear— (за Мишку)
He couldn't swim (он не умел плавать),
But he rescued him (но он спас его)!
(He rescued who?) (он спас кого?)
Oh, listen, do (ах, слушай же)!
I am talking of Pooh (я говорю о Пухе)?
(Of who?) (о ком?)
Of Pooh (о Пухе)!
(I'm sorry I keep forgetting) (извини, я опять забыл).
Well, Pooh was a Bear of Enormous Brain— (ну, Пух был Медведем Огромного Ума)
(Just say it again!) (просто скажи это снова = повтори это)
Of enormous brain— (Огромного Ума)
(Of enormous what?) (огромного чего?)
Well, he ate a lot (ну, он много ел),
And I don't know if he could swim or not (и я не знаю, умел ли он плавать или нет),
But he managed to float (но ему удалось поплыть)
On a sort of boat (как бы на корабле)
(On a sort of what?) (на как бы чем?)
Well, a sort of pot— (ну, как бы на горшке)
So now let's give him three hearty cheers (поэтому сейчас давайте дадим = скажем ему три искренних ура)
(So now let's give him three hearty whitches?) (поэтому сейчас давайте скажем ему три искренних чего?)
And hope he'll be with us for years and years (и надеюсь, он будет с нами годы и годы = много лет),
And grow in health and wisdom and riches (и возрастет здоровьем и мудростью и богатством)!
3 Cheers for Pooh (трехкратное Ура за Пуха)!
(For who?) (за кого?)
For Pooh— (за Пуха)
3 Cheers for Bear (3 Ура за Мишку)
(For where?) (за кого?)
For Bear— (за Мишку)
3 Cheers for the wonderful Winnie-the-Pooh (3 Ура за замечательного Винни-Пуха)!
(Just tell me, somebody—WHAT DID HE DO?) (только скажите мне, кто-нибудь — ЧТО СДЕЛАЛ ОН?)

Три Ура за Пуха
(За Кого?)
Скажи мне громче в ухо.
За Пуха.
(А что за причина банкета?)
Я думал, ты знаешь это.
Он друга спас от воды!
Трижды грянем Ура!
(Для чего фейерверк и вспышки?)
Ради Храброго Славного Мишки.
Он плавать не умел, но враз
Он Пятачка от смерти спас!
(Кого он спас?)
Узнаешь, щас!
Но слушай!
Коль у тебя есть уши.
Я расскажу тебе о Пухе!
(О Ком?)
О Пухе!
(Прости, проблема в слухе,
И память хочет подвести).
Ну, начинаю речь вести.
Пух Мишкой был
Огромного Ума.
(Еще услышать раз приятно мне весьма!)
Громадного Ума!
(Еще хоть раз ты повтори.
Ну, ладно, дальше говори.)
Он много ел,
Но я забыл, он плавать ли умел.
Однако удалось ему поплыть
На судне особого рода.
(На чем?)
Ну, на горшке от меда.
Итак, Ура Три раза от души.
(Опять не понял я, кого души?)
Надеемся, что будет с нами он
И возрастет здоровьем и умом!
За Пуха Три Ура!
(Да что такое! Мы за кого кричим, не ведая покоя?)
Да за Медведя!
Я уж говорил.
Ура кричи за Пуха, что есть сил.
(Ну, скажет мне хоть кто-то — ПОЧЕМУ?)
And the dream began to sing itself over in his head until it became a sort of song. It was an
ANXIOUS POOH SONG.

While this was going on inside him (пока это происходило внутри него), Owl was talking to Eeyore (Филин беседовал с Иа).
“Eeyore,” said Owl (Иа, — сказал Филин), “Christopher Robin is giving a party (Кристофер Робин устраивает вечеринку).”
“Very interesting,” said Eeyore (очень интересно, — сказал Иа). “I suppose they will be sending me down the odd bits which got trodden on (я полагаю, /они/ мне пришлют добавочные кусочки, по которым потоптались; to tread — идти, ступать, шагать). Kind and Thoughtful (Любезно и Чутко). Not at all, don't mention it (не за что, не стоит благодарности: «не упоминайте это»).”
“There is an Invitation for you (есть Приглашение для тебя).”
“What's that like (какое)?”
“An Invitation (Приглашение)!”
“Yes, I heard you (да, я слышал тебя; to hear). Who dropped it (кто послал его)?”

“Eeyore,” said Owl, “Christopher Robin is giving a party.”
“Very interesting,” said Eeyore. “I suppose they will be sending me down the odd bits which got trodden on. Kind and Thoughtful. Not at all, don't mention it.”
“There is an Invitation for you.”
“What's that like?”
“An Invitation!”
“Yes, I heard you. Who dropped it?”
“This isn't anything to eat (это не еда), it's asking you to the party (это приглашение тебя на вечеринку). To-morrow (завтра).”
Eeyore shook his head slowly (Иа медленно покачал /своей/ головой).
“You mean Piglet (ты имеешь в виду Пятачка). The little fellow with the excited ears (парнишку с напряженными ушами; to excite — возбуждать). That's Piglet (это Пятачок). I'll tell him (я скажу ему).”
“No, no!” said Owl (нет, нет! — сказал Филин), getting quite fussy (становясь очень нервным; fuss — суета, беспокойство из-за пустяков; суматоха, неразбериха). “It's you (это ты)!”
“Are you sure (ты уверен)?”
“Of course I'm sure (конечно, /я/ уверен). Christopher Robin said 'All of them (Кристофер Робин сказал: всем им)! Tell all of them (скажи всем им).' ”
“All of them, except Eeyore (всем им, кроме Иа)?”
“All of them,” said Owl sulkily (всем им, — сказал Филин угрюмо).
“Ah!” said Eeyore (а! — сказал Иа). “A mistake, no doubt (ошибка, несомненно), but still, I shall come (но, тем не менее, я приду). Only don't blame me if it rains (только не вините меня, если пойдет дождь).”

“This isn't anything to eat, it's asking you to the party. To-morrow.”
Eeyore shook his head slowly.
“You mean Piglet. The little fellow with the excited ears. That's Piglet. I'll tell him.”
“No, no!” said Owl, getting quite fussy. “It's you!”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course I'm sure. Christopher Robin said 'All of them! Tell all of them.' ”
“All of them, except Eeyore?”
“All of them,” said Owl sulkily.
“Ah!” said Eeyore. “A mistake, no doubt, but still, I shall come. Only don't blame me if it rains.”
But it didn't rain (но дождь не пошел). Christopher Robin had made a long table out of some long pieces of wood (Кристофер Робин сделал длинный стол из нескольких длинных деревянных предметов), and they all sat round it (и они уселись вокруг него). Christopher Robin sat at one end (Кристофер Робин сидел на одном конце; to sit), and Pooh sat at the other (а Пух сидел на другом), and between them on one side were Owl and Eeyore and Piglet (а между ними на одной стороне были = сидели Филин и Иа и Пятачок), and between them on the other side were Rabbit, and Roo and Kanga (а между ними на другой стороне сидели Кролик и Ру и Кенга). And all Rabbit's friends and relations spread themselves about on the grass (а все друзья и родственники Кролика расселись на траве; to spread — развертывать/ся/; раскидывать/ся/), and waited hopefully in case anybody spoke to them (и ждали с надеждой на тот случай, если кто-нибудь заговорит с ними), or dropped anything, or asked them the time (или уронит что-то, или спросит у них время).

It was the first party to which Roo had ever been (это была первая вечеринка, на которой когда-либо бывал Ру), and he was very excited (и он был очень возбужден). As soon as ever they had sat down he began to talk (как только они сели, он начал разговаривать; to begin).
“Hallo, Pooh!” he squeaked (привет, Пух! — пропищал он).
“Hallo, Roo!” said Pooh (привет, Ру! — сказал Пух).
Roo jumped up and down in his seat for a little while (Ру немного попрыгал на своем месте) and then began again (и потом начал снова).
“Hallo, Piglet!” he squeaked (привет, Пятачок! — пропищал он).
Piglet waved a paw at him (Пятачок помахал ему лапой), being too busy to say anything (будучи слишком занят, /чтобы/ что-то сказать).
“Hallo, Eeyore!” said Roo (привет, Иа! — сказал Ру).

“Hallo, Eeyore!” said Roo.
Eeyore nodded gloomily at him (Иа мрачно посмотрел на него). “It will rain soon, you see if it doesn't,” he said (скоро пойдет дождь, видишь ли, если /уже/ не идет, — сказал он).
Roo looked to see if it didn't (Ру посмотрел, чтобы увидеть, не идет ли дождь), and it didn't (и он не шел), so he said “Hallo, Owl (поэтому он сказал: привет, Филин)!”—and Owl said “Hallo, my little fellow,” in a kindly way (а Филин любезно сказал: привет, мой малыш; kind — добрый, любезный, сердечный), and went on telling Christopher Robin about an accident (и продолжил рассказывать Кристоферу Робину о несчастном случае) which had nearly happened to a friend of his (который чуть /не/ случился с одним его другом) whom Christopher Robin didn't know (которого Кристофер Робин не знал), and Kanga said to Roo (а Кенга сказала Ру), “Drink up your milk first, dear, and talk afterwards (выпей сначала свое молоко, дорогой, а потом поговоришь).” So Roo, who was drinking his milk (поэтому Ру, который пил /свое/ молоко), tried to say that he could do both at once (попытался сказать, что он может делать и то и другое сразу)... and had to be patted on the back (и его пришлось похлопать по спинке) and dried for quite a long time afterwards (а потом весьма долго вытирать).

Eeyore nodded gloomily at him. “It will rain soon, you see if it doesn't,” he said.
Roo looked to see if it didn't, and it didn't, so he said “Hallo, Owl!”—and Owl said “Hallo, my little fellow,” in a kindly way, and went on telling Christopher Robin about an accident which had nearly happened to a friend of his whom Christopher Robin didn't know, and Kanga said to Roo, “Drink up your milk first, dear, and talk afterwards.” So Roo, who was drinking his milk, tried to say that he could do both at once... and had to be patted on the back and dried for quite a long time afterwards.
