“Christopher Robin!”
“Yes?”
“Have you an umbrella in your house?”
“I think so.”
“I wish you would bring it out here (я хотел бы, чтобы ты принес его сюда;
Well, you laughed to yourself (ну, ты посмеялся про себя), “Silly old Bear (глупый старенький мишка)!” but you didn't say it aloud because you were so fond of him (но ты не сказал этого вслух, потому что ты так любил его;
“Oh, there you are (о, вот и ты =
every ['evrI], because [bI'kOz], definitely ['defInItlI]
“I wish you would bring it out here, and walk up and down with it, and look up at me every now and then, and say ‘Tut-tut, it looks like rain.’ I think, if you did that, it would help the deception which we are practicing on these bees.”
Well, you laughed to yourself, “Silly old Bear!” but you didn't say it aloud because you were so fond of him, and you went home for your umbrella.
“Oh, there you are!” called down Winnie-the-Pooh, as soon as you got back to the tree. “I was beginning to get anxious. I have discovered that the bees are now definitely Suspicious.”
“Shall I put my umbrella up?” you said (должен я раскрыть =
“Yes, but wait a moment (да, но подожди секундочку). We must be practical (мы должны быть практичны). The important bee to deceive is the Queen Bee (важная пчела, /которую нужно/ обмануть — Королева Пчела =
“No (нет).”
“A pity (жаль). Well, now, if you walk up and down with your umbrella (ну, теперь, если ты будешь расхаживать с /твоим/ зонтиком;
So, while you walked up and down and wondered if it would rain (итак, пока ты расхаживал и интересовался, пойдет ли дождь: «будет ли это дождить»), Winnie-the-Pooh sang this song (Винни-Пух пел эту песню):
put [put], deceive [dI'sJv], Queen [kwJn]
“Shall I put my umbrella up?” you said.
“Yes, but wait a moment. We must be practical. The important bee to deceive is the Queen Bee. Can you see which is the Queen Bee from down there?”
“No.”
“A pity. Well, now, if you walk up and down with your umbrella, saying, 'Tut-tut, it looks like rain,' I shall do what I can by singing a little Cloud Song, such as a cloud might sing... Go!”
So, while you walked up and down and wondered if it would rain, Winnie-the-Pooh sang this song:
How sweet to be a Cloud (как приятно быть Тучкой)
Floating in the Blue (плывущей в небе)!
Every little cloud (каждая маленькая туча =
“How sweet to be a Cloud (как приятно быть Тучкой)
Floating in the Blue (плывущей в небе)!”
It makes him very proud (это делает его очень гордым =
To be a little cloud (быть тучкой).
Как приятно Тучкой быть,
В синем-синем небе плыть!
Это Тучка, а не Пух,
Поет эту песню вслух.
Как приятно тучкой быть,
В синем-синем небе плыть!
Гордость Тучки неспроста,
Быть ей просто красота![15]
always ['Llwqz], aloud [q'laud], proud [praud]
How sweet to be a Cloud
Floating in the Blue!
Every little cloud
“How sweet to be a Cloud
Floating in the Blue!”
It makes him very proud
To be a little cloud.
