Метод Франка - Milne. Winnie-the-Pooh

terrible ['terqbl], hastily ['heIstIlI], danger ['deInGq]

“Hush!” said Eeyore in a terrible voice to all Rabbit's friends-and-relations, and “Hush!” they said hastily to each other all down the line, until it got to the last one of all. And the last and smallest friend-and-relation was so upset to find that the whole Expotition was saying “Hush!” to him , that he buried himself head downwards in a crack in the ground, and stayed there for two days until the danger was over, and then went home in a great hurry, and lived quietly with his Aunt ever-afterwards. His name was Alexander Beetle.

They had come to a stream (они пришли к ручью) which twisted and tumbled between high rocky banks (который извивался и кувыркался между высокими скалистыми берегами), and Christopher Robin saw at once how dangerous it was (и Кристофер Робин сразу понял: «увидел», как это опасно).

“It's just the place,” he explained, “for an Ambush[48] (это как раз место, — объяснил он, — для Засады = Засад ).”

“What sort of bush (какой куст = сад )?” whispered Pooh to Piglet (прошептал Пух Пятачку). “A gorse-bush (утесниковый)?”

“My dear Pooh,” said Owl in his superior way (мой дорогой Пух, — сказал Филин надменно: «в его надменном способе»), “don't you know what an Ambush is (разве ты не знаешь, что такое Засада)?”

“Owl,” said Piglet, looking round at him severely (Филин, — сказал Пятачок, оглянувшись строго на него = обернувшись и строго глядя на него ; to look round — оглянуться ; severe — суровый ), “Pooh's whisper was a perfectly private whisper (шепот Пуха был совершенно частным шепотом), and there was no need— (и не было нужды)”

They had come to a stream which twisted and tumbled between high rocky banks, and Christopher Robin saw at once how dangerous it was.

“It's just the place,” he explained, “for an Ambush.”

“What sort of bush?” whispered Pooh to Piglet. “A gorse-bush?”

“My dear Pooh,” said Owl in his superior way, “don't you know what an Ambush is?”

“Owl,” said Piglet, looking round at him severely, “Pooh's whisper was a perfectly private whisper, and there was no need—”

“An Ambush,” said Owl, “is a sort of Surprise (Засада, — сказал Филин, — это своего рода Неожиданность).”

“So is a gorse-bush sometimes,” said Pooh (и утесник тоже иногда, — сказал Пух[49]).

“An Ambush, as I was about to explain to Pooh,” said Piglet, “is a sort of Surprise (Засада, как я собирался объяснить Пуху, — сказал Пятачок, — своего рода Неожиданность).”

“If people jump out at you suddenly (если /люди/ выскакивают на тебя неожиданно), that's an Ambush,” said Owl (это засада, — сказал Филин).

“It's an Ambush, Pooh (Засада, Пух, — это), when people jump at you suddenly,” explained Piglet (когда на тебя неожиданно наскакивают /люди/, — пояснил Пятачок).

“An Ambush,” said Owl, “is a sort of Surprise.”

“So is a gorse-bush sometimes,” said Pooh.

“An Ambush, as I was about to explain to Pooh,” said Piglet, “is a sort of Surprise.”

“If people jump out at you suddenly, that's an Ambush,” said Owl.

“It's an Ambush, Pooh, when people jump at you suddenly,” explained Piglet.

Pooh, who now knew what an Ambush was (Пух, который теперь знал, что такое Засада), said that a gorse-bush had sprung at him suddenly one day (сказал, что однажды один утесник неожиданно наскочил на него; to spring — прыгать , скакать , бросаться ) when he fell off a tree (когда он упал с дерева; to fall ), and he had taken six days to get all the prickles out of himself (и ему понадобилось шесть дней, /чтобы/ извлечь из себя все колючки).

“We are not talking about gorse-bushes (мы не говорим /сейчас/ об утесниках),” said Owl a little crossly (сказал Филин немного сердито).

“I am,” said Pooh (а я говорю, — сказал Пух).

They were climbing very cautiously up the stream now (теперь они карабкались очень осторожно вверх по ручью), going from rock to rock (/переходя/ от скалы к скале), and after they had gone a little way (и после того, как они немного прошли) they came to a place (они пришли = подошли к месту) where the banks widened out at each side (где берега расширялись по обеим сторонам), so that on each side of the water there was a level strip of grass on which they could sit down and rest (так что на каждой стороне воды = потока была ровная полоска травы, на которую они могли сесть и отдохнуть). As soon as he saw this (как только Кристофер Робин увидел это), Christopher Robin called “Halt (он крикнул: стой)!” and they all sat down and rested (и они все сели и отдохнули = стали отдыхать ).

“I think,” said Christopher Robin (я думаю, — сказал Кристофер Робин), “that we ought to eat all our Provisions now (что нам следует съесть сейчас всю нашу Провизию), so that we shan't have so much to carry (так чтобы нам не нужно было так много нести).”

“Eat all our what?” said Pooh (съесть всю нашу что? — спросил Пух).

“All that we've brought (все, что мы принесли),” said Piglet, getting to work (сказал Пятачок, принимаясь за работу).

“That's a good idea (это хорошая мысль),” said Pooh, and he got to work too (сказал Пух, и /он/ тоже принялся за работу).
