"Well — " he said slowly.
"Come on," said Rabbit. "I know it's this way."
They went on. Ten minutes later they stopped again.
"It's very silly," said Rabbit, "but just for the moment I — Ah, of course. Come on."...
"Here we are (ну, вот мы и пришли)," said Rabbit ten minutes later (сказал Кролик десять минут спустя). "No, we're not (нет, не пришли)."...
"Now," said Rabbit ten minutes later (теперь, — сказал Кролик десять минут спустя), "I think we ought to be getting (мне кажется, мы должны подходить) — or are we a little bit more to the right than I thought (или мы немножко правее, чем я думал)?"...
"It's a funny thing (странное дело)," said Rabbit ten minutes later (сказал Кролик /еще/ десять минут спустя), "how everything looks the same in a mist (как все выглядит одинаково в тумане). Have you noticed it, Pooh (ты заметил /это/, Пух)?"
Pooh said that he had (Пух сказал, что /он/ заметил).

"Here we are," said Rabbit ten minutes later. "No, we're not."...
"Now," said Rabbit ten minutes later, "I think we ought to be getting — or are we a little bit more to the right than I thought?"...
"It's a funny thing," said Rabbit ten minutes later, "how everything looks the same in a mist. Have you noticed it, Pooh?"
Pooh said that he had.
"Lucky we know the Forest so well (к счастью, мы знаем Лес так хорошо), or we might get lost (иначе мы могли бы потеряться)," said Rabbit half an hour later (сказал Кролик полчаса спустя), and he gave the careless laugh (и беззаботно рассмеялся: «издал беззаботный смех») which you give (как вы смеетесь) when you know the Forest so well (когда /вы/ знаете Лес так хорошо) that you can't get lost (что /вы/ не можете заблудиться; to get lost — заблудиться, потеряться).
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind (Пятачок украдкой подошел сзади к Пуху; to sidle up to — подходить робко / бочком / украдкой).
"Pooh!" he whispered (Пух! — прошептал он).
"Yes, Piglet (да, Пятачок)?"
"Nothing," said Piglet (ничего, — сказал Пятачок), taking Pooh's paw (берясь за лапу Пуха). "I just wanted to be sure of you (я просто хотел быть уверенным в тебе = что ты здесь)."

"Lucky we know the Forest so well, or we might get lost," said Rabbit half an hour later, and he gave the careless laugh which you give when you know the Forest so well that you can't get lost.
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."

When Tigger had finished waiting for the others to catch him up (когда Тигер прекратил дожидаться, когда остальные нагонят его), and they hadn't (а они не нагнали), and when he had got tired of having nobody to say (и когда он устал от того, что некому сказать), "I say, come on" to (эй, пошли), he thought he would go home (он подумал = решил, что /он/ пойдет домой). So he trotted back (поэтому он поспешил назад); and the first thing Kanga said (и первым, что сказала Кенга) when she saw him was (когда увидела его, было), "There's a good Tigger (а вот и милый Тигер). You're just in time for your Strengthening Medicine (ты как раз вовремя /чтобы принять/ Укрепляющее Лекарство)," and she poured it out for him (и она налила ему его). Roo said proudly (Ру гордо сказал), "I've had mine (я свое /уже/ выпил)," and Tigger swallowed his and said (и Тигер проглотил свое и сказал), "So have I (я тоже)," and then he and Roo pushed each other about in a friendly way (а потом он и Ру дружески потолкали друг друга), and Tigger accidentally knocked over one or two chairs by accident (и Тигер случайно перевернул один из двух стульев нечаянно), and Roo accidentally knocked over one on purpose (а Ру случайно перевернул один нарочно; purpose — намерение, цель), and Kanga said (и Кенга сказала), "Now then, run along (а сейчас, бегите = бегом марш отсюда)."

When Tigger had finished waiting for the others to catch him up, and they hadn't, and when he had got tired of having nobody to say, "I say, come on" to, he thought he would go home. So he trotted back; and the first thing Kanga said when she saw him was, "There's a good Tigger. You're just in time for your Strengthening Medicine," and she poured it out for him. Roo said proudly, "I've had mine," and Tigger swallowed his and said, "So have I," and then he and Roo pushed each other about in a friendly way, and Tigger accidentally knocked over one or two chairs by accident, and Roo accidentally knocked over one on purpose, and Kanga said, "Now then, run along."
"Where shall we run along to (куда нам /бегом/ сбегать)?" asked Roo (спросил Ру).
"You can go and collect some fir-cones for me (вы можете пойти /и/ насобирать мне еловых шишек)," said Kanga, giving them a basket (сказала Кенга, давая им корзину).
So they went to the Six Pine Trees (и они пошли к Шести Соснам), and threw fir-cones at each other (и бросались шишками друг в друга) until they had forgotten what they came for (пока не забыли, для чего они пришли; to forget — забывать), and they left the basket under the trees and went back to dinner (и они оставили = забыли корзину под деревьями и вернулись к обеду[59]; to leave — оставлять). And it was just as they were finishing dinner (и как раз когда они заканчивали обед) that Christopher Robin put his head in at the door (в дверь засунул голову Кристофер Робин). "Where's Pooh?" he asked (а где Пух? — спросил он).

"Where shall we run along to?" asked Roo.
"You can go and collect some fir-cones for me," said Kanga, giving them a basket.
So they went to the Six Pine Trees, and threw fir-cones at each other until they had forgotten what they came for, and they left the basket under the trees and went back to dinner. And it was just as they were finishing dinner that Christopher Robin put his head in at the door. "Where's Pooh?" he asked.
"Tigger dear, where's Pooh (Тигер дорогой, где Пух)?" said Kanga (спросила Кенга). Tigger explained (Тигер объяснил) what had happened (что произошло) at the same time that Roo was explaining about his Biscuit Cough (в то же самое время, как Ру давал разъяснения по поводу своего Кашля от Печенья) and Kanga was telling them not both to talk at once (а Кенга велела им не разговаривать вдвоем сразу), so it was some time (поэтому прошло некоторое время) before Christopher Robin guessed (прежде чем Кристофер Робин догадался) that Pooh and Piglet and Rabbit were all lost in the mist on the top of the Forest (что Пух и Пятачок и Кролик — все потерялись в тумане в верхней части Леса).
"It's a funny thing about Tiggers (любопытно насчет Тигеров то; funny — забавный, курьезный, странный)," whispered Tigger to Roo (прошептал Тигер Ру), "how Tiggers never get lost (как = что Тигеры никогда /не/ теряются)."
"Why don't they, Tigger (/а/ почему они не /теряются/, Тигер)?"
before [bI'fL], guess [ges], about [q'baut]
"Tigger dear, where's Pooh?" said Kanga. Tigger explained what had happened at the same time that Roo was explaining about his Biscuit Cough and Kanga was telling them not both to talk at once, so it was some time before Christopher Robin guessed that Pooh and Piglet and Rabbit were all lost in the mist on the top of the Forest.
"It's a funny thing about Tiggers," whispered Tigger to Roo, "how Tiggers never get lost."
"Why don't they, Tigger?"
"They just don't (они просто не теряются)," explained Tigger (пояснил Тигер). "That's how it is (вот так)."
"Well," said Christopher Robin (ну, — сказал Кристофер Робин), "we shall have to go and find them, that's all (нам придется пойти и найти их, /и/ это все). Come on, Tigger (вперед, Тигер)."
"I shall have to go and find them (мне придется пойти и найти их)," explained Tigger to Roo (пояснил Тигер Ру).
"May I find them too (можно, я тоже их найду)?" asked Roo eagerly (спросил Ру со страстным желанием).
"I think not to-day, dear (я думаю, не сегодня, дорогой)," said Kanga (сказала Кенга). "Another day (/как-нибудь/ в другой день)."
"Well, if they're lost to-morrow (ну, а если они потеряются завтра), may I find them (можно я их найду)?"
find [faInd], may [meI], another [q'nADq]
"They just don't," explained Tigger. "That's how it is." "Well," said Christopher Robin, "we shall have to go and find them, that's all. Come on, Tigger."
"I shall have to go and find them," explained Tigger to Roo.
"May I find them too?" asked Roo eagerly.
"I think not to-day, dear," said Kanga. "Another day."
"Well, if they're lost to-morrow, may I find them?"
"We'll see," said Kanga (посмотрим, — сказала Кенга), and Roo, who knew what that meant (и Ру, который знал, что это значит), went into a corner and practised jumping out at himself (пошел в угол и стал упражняться выскакивать на /самого/ себя), partly because he wanted to practise this (отчасти потому что он хотел поупражняться в этом), and partly because he didn't want Christopher Robin and Tigger to think (а отчасти потому что он не хотел, чтобы Кристофер Робин и Тигер подумали) that he minded when they went off without him (что ему было какое-то дело до того, что они уходили без него).

"We'll see," said Kanga, and Roo, who knew what that meant, went into a corner and practised jumping out at himself, partly because he wanted to practise this, and partly because he didn't want Christopher Robin and Tigger to think that he minded when they went off without him.

"The fact is," said Rabbit (дело в том, — сказал Кролик), "we've missed our way somehow (что мы каким-то образом /где-то/ пошли не туда: «промахнулись мимо нашего пути»)."
They were having a rest in a small sand-pit on the top of the Forest (они отдыхали в маленькой песочной ямке в верхней части Леса). Pooh was getting rather tired of that sand-pit (Пуху начинала весьма надоедать эта песчаная ямка), and suspected it of following them about (и /он/ подозревал /ее в том/, что она повсюду их преследует), because whichever direction they started in (потому что в каком бы направлении они не начинали идти), they always ended up at it (они все время в конце-концов приходили к ней; to end up — достичь какой-л. позиции), and each time, as it came through the mist at them (и всякий раз, когда она появлялась из тумана возле них), Rabbit said triumphantly (Кролик торжествующе говорил), "Now I know where we are (теперь я знаю, где мы)!" and Pooh said sadly, "So do I (а Пух говорил печально: я тоже)," and Piglet said nothing (а Пятачок /не/ говорил ничего). He had tried to think of something to say (он пытался придумать, что сказать), but the only thing he could think of was, "Help, help (но единственное, что он мог придумать, так это: помогите, помогите)!" and it seemed silly to say that (а говорить это казалось глупо), when he had Pooh and Rabbit with him (когда с ним /рядом/ были Пух и Кролик).

"Well," said Rabbit (ну, — сказал Кролик), after a long silence (после долгого молчания) in which nobody thanked him for this nice walk (во время которого никто /не/ поблагодарил его за эту славную прогулку) they were having (которую они имели = совершали), "we'd better get on, I suppose (я полагаю, нам лучше идти дальше; to get on — продолжать). Which way shall we try (в какую сторону нам попробовать /идти/)?"
