Метод Франка - Дом на Пуховом углу
"Well done, Pooh (молодец: «хорошо сделано», Пух)," said Rabbit kindly (сказал добродушно Кролик). "That was a good idea of ours (это была наша хорошая идея)."
"What was?" asked Eeyore (что было? — спросил Иа).
among [q'mAN], done [dAn], ours [auqz]
With a shout they rushed off the bridge, and pushed and pulled at him; and soon he was standing among them again on dry land.
"Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!" said Piglet, feeling him.
Eeyore shook himself, and asked somebody to explain to Piglet what happened when you had been inside a river for quite a long time.
"Well done, Pooh," said Rabbit kindly. "That was a good idea of ours."
"What was?" asked Eeyore.
"Hooshing[45] you to the bank like that (выплюхнуть тебя так на берег)."
"Hooshing me (выплюхнуть меня)?" said Eeyore in surprise (сказал в удивлении Иа). "Hooshing me (выплюхнуть меня)? You didn't think I was hooshed, did you (ты ведь не думал, что меня выплюхнуло)? I dived (я нырнул). Pooh dropped a large stone on me (Пух уронил на меня большой камень), and so as not to be struck heavily on the chest (и чтобы он не ударил меня сильно в грудь; to strike — ударить, бить), I dived and swam to the bank (я нырнул и поплыл к берегу)."
"You didn't really (ты не сделал = это было не так на самом деле)," whispered Piglet to Pooh (шепнул Пятачок Пуху), so as to comfort him (чтобы утешить его).
"I didn't think I did (я не думал, что я сделал /так/ = кажется, ты прав)," said Pooh anxiously (сказал с волнением Пух).
"It's just Eeyore (это просто Иа /такой/)," said Piglet (сказал Пятачок). "I thought your Idea was a very good Idea (я подумал = я думаю, что твоя Идея была очень хорошей Идеей)."
hoosh [hHS], dive [daIv], struck [strAk]
"Hooshing you to the bank like that."
"Hooshing me?" said Eeyore in surprise. "Hooshing me? You didn't think I was hooshed, did you? I dived. Pooh dropped a large stone on me, and so as not to be struck heavily on the chest, I dived and swam to the bank."
"You didn't really," whispered Piglet to Pooh, so as to comfort him.
"I didn't think I did," said Pooh anxiously.
"It's just Eeyore," said Piglet. "I thought your Idea was a very good Idea."
Pooh began to feel a little more comfortable (Пух начал чувствовать себя = почувствовал себя немного спокойнее), because when you are a Bear of Very Little Brain (потому что когда ты Мишка с Очень Маленьким Умишком), and you Think of Things (и ты Придумываешь Штуки[46]), you find sometimes (иногда ты убеждаешься) that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different (в том, что Штука, которая казалось очень Штучнейшей внутри тебя = у тебя в голове, /становится/ совершенно другой) when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it (когда она выбирается наружу на открытое пространство = во внешний мир, и на нее смотрят другие /люди/). And, anyhow, Eeyore was in the river (и, во всяком случае, Иа был в реке), and now he wasn't (а сейчас уже нет = уже на берегу), so he hadn't done any harm (так что он[47] не причинил никакого вреда).

"How did you fall in, Eeyore (как ты упал в воду, Иа)?" asked Rabbit (спросил Кролик), as he dried him with Piglet's handkerchief (вытирая его носовым платком Пятачка).
"I didn't," said Eeyore (я не падал, — сказал Иа).
"But how (но как) — "
"I was BOUNCED (на меня НАСКОЧИЛИ)," said Eeyore (сказал Иа).
"Oo," said Roo excitedly (у, — сказал взволнованно Ру), "did somebody push you (тебя кто-то толкнул)?"
"Somebody BOUNCED me (кто-то НАСКОЧИЛ на меня). I was just thinking by the side of the river (я как раз размышлял у берега реки = на берегу реки) — thinking, if any of you know what that means (размышлял, если кто-нибудь из вас знает, что это значит) — when I received a loud BOUNCE (когда я получил = испытал громкий НАСКОК)."
handkerchief ['hxNkqCIf], bounce [bauns], receive [rI'sJv]
"How did you fall in, Eeyore?" asked Rabbit, as he dried him with Piglet's handkerchief.
"I didn't," said Eeyore.
"But how — "
"I was BOUNCED," said Eeyore.
"Oo," said Roo excitedly, "did somebody push you?"
"Somebody BOUNCED me. I was just thinking by the side of the river — thinking, if any of you know what that means — when I received a loud BOUNCE."
"Oh, Eeyore!" said everybody (ах, Иа! — сказали все).
"Are you sure you didn't slip (ты уверен, что не поскользнулся)?" asked Rabbit wisely (спросил благоразумно Кролик).
"Of course I slipped (конечно, я поскользнулся). If you're standing on the slippery bank of a river (если вы стоите на скользком берегу реки), and somebody BOUNCES you loudly from behind (а кто-то НАСКАКИВАЕТ на вас громко сзади), you slip (вы поскальзываетесь). What did you think I did (а что, ты думал, я сделал)?"
"But who did it (но кто это сделал)?" asked Roo (спросил Ру).
Eeyore didn't answer (Иа не ответил).
"I expect it was Tigger (я полагаю, это был Тигер)," said Piglet nervously (сказал нервно Пятачок).
wisely ['waIzlI], slippery ['slIpqrI], behind [bI'haInd]
"Oh, Eeyore!" said everybody.
"Are you sure you didn't slip?" asked Rabbit wisely.
"Of course I slipped. If you're standing on the slippery bank of a river, and somebody BOUNCES you loudly from behind, you slip. What did you think I did?"
"But who did it?" asked Roo.
Eeyore didn't answer.
"I expect it was Tigger," said Piglet nervously.
"But, Eeyore," said Pooh (но, Иа, — сказал Пух), "was it a Joke, or an Accident (это была Шутка или Случайность)? I mean (я хочу сказать) — "
"I didn't stop to ask, Pooh (я не останавливался, чтобы спросить /об этом/, Пух). Even at the very bottom of the river (даже на самом дне реки) I didn't stop to say to myself (я не остановился, чтобы спросить себя), 'Is this a Hearty Joke, or is it the Merest Accident (это Дружеская Шутка или Абсолютная Случайность)?' I just floated to the surface (я просто всплыл на поверхность), and said to myself (и сказал себе), 'It's wet (мокро).' If you know what I mean (если ты знаешь, что я имею в виду)."
"And where was Tigger (а где был Тигер)?" asked Rabbit (спросил Кролик).
Before Eeyore could answer (прежде чем Иа смог ответить), there was a loud noise behind them (позади них раздался громкий шум), and through the hedge came Tigger himself (и сквозь живую изгородь вышел сам Тигер).
accident ['xksIdqnt], hearty ['hRtI], surface ['sWfIs]
"But, Eeyore," said Pooh, "was it a Joke, or an Accident? I mean — "
"I didn't stop to ask, Pooh. Even at the very bottom of the river I didn't stop to say to myself, 'Is this a Hearty Joke, or is it the Merest Accident?' I just floated to the surface, and said to myself, 'It's wet.' If you know what I mean."
"And where was Tigger?" asked Rabbit.
Before Eeyore could answer, there was a loud noise behind them, and through the hedge came Tigger himself.
"Hallo, everybody (всем привет)," said Tigger cheerfully (сказал радостно Тигер).
"Hallo, Tigger," said Roo (привет, Тигер, — сказал Ру).
Rabbit became very important suddenly (Кролик вдруг стал очень важным).
"Tigger," he said solemnly (Тигер, — сказал он серьезно), "what happened just now (что случилось только что)?"
"Just when (только что когда)?" said Tigger a little uncomfortably (спросил Тигер немного стесненно; uncomfortably — неловко, стесненно, тревожно).
"When you bounced Eeyore into the river (когда ты наскочил Иа в реку = наскочил на Иа так, что он упал в реку)."
"I didn't bounce him (я не наскакивал на него)."
everybody ['evrIbOdI], cheerfully ['CIqfulI], solemnly ['sOlqmlI]
"Hallo, everybody," said Tigger cheerfully.
"Hallo, Tigger," said Roo.
Rabbit became very important suddenly.
"Tigger," he said solemnly, "what happened just now?"
"Just when?" said Tigger a little uncomfortably.
"When you bounced Eeyore into the river."
"I didn't bounce him."
"You bounced me (ты наскочил на меня)," said Eeyore gruffly (сказал Иа угрюмо).
"I didn't really (да нет, на самом деле). I had a cough (у меня был кашель), and I happened to be behind Eeyore (а я случайно оказался позади Иа), and I said 'Grrrr-oppp-ptschschschz (и /я/ сказал Гррр-аппп-пчхи).' "
"Why?" said Rabbit (/ты/ что? — спросил Кролик), helping Piglet up, and dusting him (помогая Пятачку подняться и отряхивая его). "It's all right, Piglet (все в порядке, Пятачок)."
"It took me by surprise (это застигло меня врасплох; to take by surprise — застигать врасплох)," said Piglet nervously (сказал нервно Пятачок).

"You bounced me," said Eeyore gruffly.
"I didn't really. I had a cough, and I happened to be behind Eeyore, and I said 'Grrrr-oppp-ptschschschz.' "
"Why?" said Rabbit, helping Piglet up, and dusting him. "It's all right, Piglet."
"It took me by surprise," said Piglet nervously.
"That's what I call bouncing (именно это я и называю наскакиванием)," said Eeyore (сказал Иа). "Taking people by surprise (застигание людей врасплох = когда застигают /людей/ врасплох). Very unpleasant habit (очень неприятная привычка). I don't mind Tigger being in the Forest (я не против, чтобы Тигер был в Лесу)," he went on (продолжил он), "because it's a large Forest (потому что это большой Лес), and there's plenty of room to bounce in it (и в нем куча места, чтобы скакать /и наскакивать/). But I don't see (но мне непонятно) why he should come into my little corner of it (с какой стати ему приходить в мой маленький уголок его = Леса), and bounce there (и там наскакивать). It isn't as if there was anything very wonderful about my little corner (как будто нет ничего очень замечательного в моем маленьком уголке). Of course for people who like cold, wet, ugly bits (разумеется, для людей = для тех, которые любят = кто любит холодное, мокрое, мерзкое) it is something rather special (он нечто весьма уникальное), but other wise it's just a corner, and if anybody feels bouncy (но во всем остальном это просто уголок, а если кому-нибудь хочется понаскакивать) — "
unpleasant [An'plezqnt], habit ['hxbIt], special ['speSql]
"That's what I call bouncing," said Eeyore. "Taking people by surprise. Very unpleasant habit. I don't mind Tigger being in the Forest," he went on, "because it's a large Forest, and there's plenty of room to bounce in it. But I don't see why he should come into my little corner of it, and bounce there. It isn't as if there was anything very wonderful about my little corner. Of course for people who like cold, wet, ugly bits it is something rather special, but other wise it's just a corner, and if anybody feels bouncy — "
"I didn't bounce (я не наскакивал), I coughed," said Tigger crossly (я кашлянул, — сказал раздраженно Тигер).
