Every now and then Roo fell in and came back on the rope with the next article, which flustered Kanga a little because she never knew where to look for him. So she got cross with Owl and said that his house was a Disgrace, all damp and dirty, and it was quite time it did tumble down. Look at that horrid bunch of toadstools growing out of the corner there? So Owl looked down, a little surprised because he didn't know about this, and then gave a short sarcastic laugh, and explained that this was his sponge, and that if people didn't know a perfectly ordinary bath-sponge when they saw it, things were coming to a pretty pass.
"Well!" said Kanga (ну = да уж, — сказала Кенга), and Roo fell in quickly, crying (а Ру упал вовнутрь с криком), “I must see Owl’s sponge (я должен увидеть губку Филина)! Oh, there it is (а, вот она)! Oh, Owl (ох, Филин)! Owl, it isn’t a sponge (Филин, это не губка), it’s a spudge[74] (это грязюбка)! Do you know what a spudge is, Owl (знаешь, что такое грязюбка, Филин)? It’s when your sponge gets all (это, когда твоя губка собирает всю) — ” and Kanga said (а Кенга сказала), “Roo, dear!” very quickly (очень быстро: Ру, дорогой!), because that’s not the way to talk to anybody who can spell TUESDAY (потому что так не разговаривают с кем-нибудь = с тем, кто умеет писать ВТОРНИК).

But they were all quite happy (но они все были очень рады) when Pooh and Piglet came along (когда пришли Пух и Пятачок), and they stopped working (и они перестали работать) in order to have a little rest and listen to Pooh’s new song (чтобы немного отдохнуть и послушать новую песню Пуха). So then they all told Pooh how good it was (и потом они все сказали Пуху, какая она хорошая), and Piglet said carelessly (а Пятачок беззаботно спросил), “It is good, isn’t it (она хорошая, не так ли)? I mean as a song (я имею в виду как песня).”
“And what about the new house (а как насчет нового дома)?” asked Pooh (спросил Пух). “Have you found it, Owl (ты нашел его, Филин)?”

“He’s found a name for it (он нашел название для него),” said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин), lazily nibbling at a piece of grass (лениво грызя травинку), “so now all he wants is the house (поэтому теперь все, что ему нужно, — это дом).”
“I am calling it this (я назову его этим = так),” said Owl importantly (сказал важно Филин), and he showed them (и он показал им) what he had been making (что он делал). It was a square piece of board (это была прямоугольная дощечка) with the name of the house painted on it (с названием дома, написанным на ней краской; to paint — рисовать красками, писать красками, раскрашивать):
THE WOLERY[75] (ХВИЛЕНИЩЕ[76])

“I am calling it this,” said Owl importantly, and he showed them what he had been making. It was a square piece of board with the name of the house painted on it:
THE WOLERY
It was at this exciting moment that something came through the trees (именно в этот волнующий момент кто-то пробился сквозь деревья), and bumped into Owl (и налетел на Филина). The board fell to the ground (дощечка упала на землю), and Piglet and Roo bent over it eagerly (а Пятачок и Ру наклонились за ней, очень желая помочь).
“Oh, it’s you (а, это ты),” said Owl crossly (сказал сердито Филин).
“Hallo, Eeyore (привет, Иа)!” said Rabbit (сказал Кролик). “There you are (вот и ты)! Where have you been (где ты был)?”
Eeyore took no notice of them (Иа не обратил на них внимания).

“Oh, it’s you,” said Owl crossly.
“Hallo, Eeyore!” said Rabbit. “There you are! Where have you been?”
Eeyore took no notice of them.
“Good morning, Christopher Robin (доброе утро, Кристофер Робин),” he said, brushing away Roo and Piglet (сказал он, отстраняя от себя Ру и Пятачка), and sitting down on THE WOLERY (и усаживаясь на ХВИЛЕНИЩЕ). “Are we alone (мы одни)?”
“Yes,” said Christopher Robin (да, — сказал Кристофер Робин), smiling to himself (усмехаясь про себя).
“I have been told (мне сказали) — the news worked through to my corner of the Forest (новость пробралась в мой уголок Леса) — the damp bit down on the right which nobody wants (сырой кусочек внизу справа, который никому не нужен) — that a certain Person is looking for a house (что некая Личность ищет дом). I have found one for him (я нашел его = дом для него).”

“Yes,” said Christopher Robin, smiling to himself.
“I have been told — the news worked through to my corner of the Forest — the damp bit down on the right which nobody wants — that a certain Person is looking for a house. I have found one for him.”
“Ah, well done (о, молодец),” said Rabbit kindly (сказал добродушно Кролик).
Eeyore looked round slowly at him (Иа медленно обернулся к нему), and then turned back to Christopher Robin (а потом снова повернулся к Кристоферу Робину).
“We have been joined by something (к нам что-то присоединилось),” he said in a loud whisper (сказал он громким шепотом). “But no matter (но неважно). We can leave it behind (мы можем забыть об этом). If you will come with me, Christopher Robin (если ты пойдешь со мной, Кристофер Робин), I will show you the house (я покажу тебе этот дом).”

“Ah, well done,” said Rabbit kindly.
Eeyore looked round slowly at him, and then turned back to Christopher Robin.
“We have been joined by something,” he said in a loud whisper. “But no matter. We can leave it behind. If you will come with me, Christopher Robin, I will show you the house.”
Christopher Robin jumped up (Кристофер Робин вскочил).
“Come on, Pooh (идем, Пух),” he said (сказал он).
“Come on, Tigger (идем, Тигер)” cried Roo (крикнул Ру).
“Shall we go, Owl (пойдем, Филин)?” said Rabbit (сказал Кролик).
“Wait a moment (подожди минутку),” said Owl (сказал Филин), picking up his noticeboard (подбирая свою доску объявлений = доску с надписью), which had just come into sight again (которая как раз снова появилась в поле зрения).
Eeyore waved them back (Иа махнул им, подавая сигнал остаться).

Christopher Robin jumped up.
“Come on, Pooh,” he said.

Eeyore waved them back.
“Christopher Robin and I are going for a Short Walk (мы с Кристофером Робином собираемся на Короткую Прогулку),” he said (сказал он), “not a Jostle (а не для толкотни = а не потолкаться). If he likes to bring Pooh and Piglet with him (если ему хочется взять с собой Пуха и Пятачка), I shall be glad of their company (я буду рад их компании), but one must be able to Breathe (но нужно иметь возможность Дышать).”
“That’s all right (все в порядке),” said Rabbit (сказал Кролик), rather glad to be left in charge of something (весьма довольный, что его оставляют ответственным за что-то; charge — заведование; руководство; ответственность). “We’ll go on getting the things out (мы будем продолжать вытаскивать вещи /дальше/). Now then, Tigger, where’s that rope (а ну-ка, Тигер, где тот канат)? What’s the matter, Owl (что случилось, Филин)?”

Owl, who had just discovered that his new address was THE SMEAR (Филин, который только что обнаружил, что его новый адрес стал МАЗНЕЙ), coughed at Eeyore sternly (сурово кашлянул в сторону Иа), but said nothing (но ничего /не/ сказал), and Eeyore, with most of THE WOLERY behind him (и Иа с большей частью ХВИЛЕНИЩА позади /него/), marched off with his friends (ушел со своими друзьями).
So, in a little while, they came to the house (и вскоре они пришли к дому) which Eeyore had found (который нашел Иа), and just before they came to it (и как раз перед тем как они подошли к нему), Piglet was nudging Pooh (Пятачок толкал = начал толкать Пуха), and Pooh was nudging Piglet (а Пух начал толкать Пятачка), and they were saying (и они говорили), “It is!” and “It can’t be (это он! и не может быть)!” and “It is, really!” to each other (и это он, действительно! — друг другу). And when they got there, it really was (и когда они добрались туда = до места, это действительно был он).

Owl, who had just discovered that his new address was THE SMEAR, coughed at Eeyore sternly, but said nothing, and Eeyore, with most of THE WOLERY behind him, marched off with his friends.
So, in a little while, they came to the house which Eeyore had found, and just before they came to it, Piglet was nudging Pooh, and Pooh was nudging Piglet, and they were saying, “It is!” and “It can’t be!” and “It is, really!” to each other. And when they got there, it really was.
“There!” said Eeyore proudly (вот! — сказал гордо Иа), stopping them outside Piglet’s house (останавливая их снаружи = перед домом Пятачка). “And the name on it, and everything (и название на нем, и все /остальное/)!”
"Oh!" cried Christopher Robin (ах! — воскликнул Кристофер Робин), wondering whether to laugh or what (спрашивая себя = не зная, то ли смеяться или что = то ли плакать).
"Just the house for Owl (как раз дом для Филина). Don't you think so, little Piglet (ты так не считаешь, маленький Пятачок)?"
And then Piglet did a Noble Thing (и тогда Пятачок совершил Благородный Поступок), and he did it in a sort of dream (и он совершил его словно во сне), while he was thinking of all the wonderful words Pooh had hummed about him (когда /он/ вспоминал = вспоминая все замечательные слова, которые спел о нем Пух).

"Just the house for Owl. Don't you think so, little Piglet?"
And then Piglet did a Noble Thing, and he did it in a sort of dream, while he was thinking of all the wonderful words Pooh had hummed about him.
"Yes, it's just the house for Owl (да, это как раз дом для Филина)," he said grandly (сказал он благородно). "And I hope he'll be very happy in it (и /я/ надеюсь, он будет счастлив в нем)." And then he gulped twice (а затем он сглотнул дважды), because he had been very happy in it himself (потому что он сам был в нем очень счастлив).
"What do you think, Christopher Robin (что ты думаешь, Кристофер Робин)?" asked Eeyore a little anxiously (спросил Иа немного тревожно), feeling that something wasn't quite right (чувствуя, что что-то не совсем так).
Christopher Robin had a question to ask first (у Кристофера Робина был вопрос, который он хотел задать сначала), and he was wondering how to ask it (и он спрашивал себя, как ему его задать).

"Yes, it's just the house for Owl," he said grandly. "And I hope he'll be very happy in it." And then he gulped twice, because he had been very happy in it himself.
"What do you think, Christopher Robin?" asked Eeyore a little anxiously, feeling that something wasn't quite right.
Christopher Robin had a question to ask first, and he was wondering how to ask it.
"Well," he said at last (ну, — сказал он наконец), "it's a very nice house (это очень хороший дом), and if your own house is blown down (и если твой собственный дом повалило ветром), you must go somewhere else (тебе нужно уйти в другое место), mustn't you, Piglet (не так ли, Пятачок)? What would you do (что бы ты сделал), if your house was blown down (если бы твой дом свалило ветром)?"
