Метод Франка - Дом на Пуховом углу

"It tried," said Tigger (она пыталась, — сказал Тигер), "but I was too quick for it (но я оказался слишком быстрым для нее)."

unwind ['An'waInd], put [put], quick [kwIk]

"That's my tablecloth," said Pooh, as he began to unwind Tigger.

"I wondered what it was," said Tigger.

"It goes on the table and you put things on it."

"Then why did it try to bite me when I wasn't looking?"

"I don't think it did," said Pooh.

"It tried," said Tigger, "but I was too quick for it."

Pooh put the cloth back on the table (Пух постелил снова скатерть на стол), and he put a large honey-pot on the cloth (и /он/ поставил на скатерть большой горшок с медом), and they sat down to breakfast (и они сели завтракать). And as soon as they sat down (и как только они уселись), Tigger took a large mouthful of honey (Тигер взял большой кусок меда = набрал полный рот меда )... and he looked up at the ceiling (и посмотрел на потолок) with his head on one side (со своей головой = склонив голову набок), and made exploring noises with his tongue (и сделал = издал /своим/ языком пробующие звуки; to explore — исследовать ), and considering noises (и обдумывающие звуки), and what-have-we-got-here noises (и что-это-у-нас-такойные звуки)... and then he said in a very decided voice (а потом он сказал очень решительным голосом):

"Tiggers don't like honey (Тигеры не любят мед)."

"Oh!" said Pooh (а! — сказал Пух), and tried to make it sound Sad and Regretful (и попытался придать этому /а!/ Грустное и Сожалеющее звучание). "I thought they liked everything (я думал, они любят все)."

Pooh put the cloth back on the table, and he put a large honey-pot on the cloth, and they sat down to breakfast. And as soon as they sat down, Tigger took a large mouthful of honey ... and he looked up at the ceiling with his head on one side, and made exploring noises with his tongue, and considering noises, and what-have-we-got-here noises ... and then he said in a very decided voice:

"Tiggers don't like honey."

"Oh!" said Pooh, and tried to make it sound Sad and Regretful. "I thought they liked everything."

"Everything except honey," said Tigger (все кроме меда, — сказал Тигер).

Pooh felt rather pleased about this (Пух чувствовал себя очень довольным по этому поводу), and said that, as soon as he had finished his own breakfast (и сказал, что как только он закончит свой завтрак), he would take Tigger round to Piglet's house (он поведет Тигера домой к Пятачку), and Tigger could try some of Piglet's haycorns (и Тигер сможет попробовать жУлудей[7] Пятачка; acorn — желудь ).

"Thank you, Pooh," said Tigger (спасибо, Пух, — сказал Тигер), "because haycorns is really what Tiggers like best (потому что жУлудЯ — это действительно то, что Тигеры любят больше всего)."

acorn ['eIkLn], except [Ik'sept], some [sAm]

"Everything except honey," said Tigger.

Pooh felt rather pleased about this, and said that, as soon as he had finished his own breakfast, he would take Tigger round to Piglet's house, and Tigger could try some of Piglet's haycorns.

"Thank you, Pooh," said Tigger, "because haycorns is really what Tiggers like best."

So after breakfast they went round to see Piglet (и после завтрака они зашли проведать Пятачка), and Pooh explained (и Пух объяснил) as they went (когда они шли = по дороге ) that Piglet was a Very Small Animal who didn't like bouncing (что Пятачок — Очень Маленькое Животное, которое не любит, /когда/ наскакивают), and asked Tigger not to be too Bouncy just at first (и попросил Тигера не быть слишком Наскакливым только = хотя бы сначала; bouncy — живой , подвижный ; to bounce — подпрыгивать; вламываться / в какое-л ибо помещение / ; бесцеремонно входить куда-л ибо ). And Tigger, who had been hiding behind trees (а Тигер, который прятался за деревьями) and jumping out on Pooh's shadow when it wasn't looking (и выпрыгивал на тень Пуха, когда она не смотрела), said that Tiggers were only bouncy before breakfast (сказал, что Тигеры наскакливы лишь до завтрака), and that as soon as they had had a few haycorns (и что как только они съедят немного жУлудей) they became Quiet and Refined (они становятся Тихими и Изысканными). So by-and-by they knocked at the door of Piglet's house (так вскоре они постучали в дверь дома Пятачка).

So by-and-by they knocked at the door of Piglet's house.

"Hallo, Pooh," said Piglet (привет, Пух, — сказал Пятачок).

"Hallo, Piglet (привет, Пятачок). This is Tigger (это Тигер)."

"Oh, is it?" said Piglet (ах, да? — сказал Пятачок), and he edged round to the other side of the table (и он подвинулся к другому краю стола). "I thought Tiggers were smaller than that (я думал, Тигеры поменьше /чем это/)."

"Not the big ones," said Tigger (/только/ не большие Тигеры, — сказал Тигер).

"They like haycorns," said Pooh (они любят жОлуди, — сказал Пух), "so that's what we've come for (вот ради чего мы пришли), because poor Tigger hasn't had any breakfast yet (потому что бедный Тигер еще /совсем/ не завтракал)."

"Hallo, Pooh," said Piglet.

"Hallo, Piglet. This is Tigger."

"Oh, is it?" said Piglet, and he edged round to the other side of the table. "I thought Tiggers were smaller than that."

"Not the big ones," said Tigger.

"They like haycorns," said Pooh, "so that's what we've come for, because poor Tigger hasn't had any breakfast yet."

Piglet pushed the bowl of haycorns towards Tigger (Пятачок подвинул миску жУлудей к Тигеру), and said, "Help yourself (и сказал: угощайся)," and then he got close up to Pooh and felt much braver (а потом он подвинулся поближе к Пуху и почувствовал себя гораздо смелее), and said, "So you're Tigger (и сказал: так ты Тигер)? Well, well!" in a careless sort of voice (ну, ну! — беспечным голосом). But Tigger said nothing (но Тигер /не/ сказал ничего) because his mouth was full of haycorns (потому что его рот был полон жУлудей)...
