alum ['xlqm], seed [sJd], over ['quvq]

"I do know," said Pooh, "because Christopher Robin gave me a mastershalum seed, and I planted it, and I'm going to have mastershalums all over the front door."

"I thought they were called nasturtiums," said Piglet timidly, as he went on jumping.

"No," said Pooh. "Not these. These are called mastershalums."

When Piglet had finished jumping (когда Пятачок закончил прыгать), he wiped his paws on his front (он вытер /свои/ лапки об переднюю часть /тела/ = о грудку), and said, "What shall we do now (и спросил: что будем делать сейчас)?" and Pooh said, "Let's go and see Kanga and Roo and Tigger (а Пух сказал: давай пойдем в гости к Кенге и Ру и Тигеру)," and Piglet said, "Y-yes. L-let's (а Пятачок сказал: д-да, д-давай)" — because he was still a little anxious about Tigger (потому что он все еще немного беспокоился из-за Тигера), who was a very Bouncy Animal (который был очень Прыгучим Животным), with a way of saying How-do-you-do which always left your ears full of sand (и так говорил ‘Здравствуйте’, что от этого ваши уши забивались песком: «которое всегда оставляет ваши уши полными песка»), even after Kanga had said (даже после того как Кенга говорила), "Gently, Tigger dear," and had helped you up again (осторожно, Тигер, дорогой, — и помогала вам снова подняться). So they set off for Kanga's house (и они отправились к дому Кенги).

full [ful], even ['Jvn], gently ['GentlI]

When Piglet had finished jumping, he wiped his paws on his front, and said, "What shall we do now?" and Pooh said, "Let's go and see Kanga and Roo and Tigger," and Piglet said, "Y-yes. L-let's" — because he was still a little anxious about Tigger, who was a very Bouncy Animal, with a way of saying How-do-you-do which always left your ears full of sand, even after Kanga had said, "Gently, Tigger dear," and had helped you up again. So they set off for Kanga's house.

Now it happened that Kanga had felt rather motherly that morning (и вот случилось так, что Кенга почувствовала себя весьма по-матерински в то утро), and Wanting to Count Things — like Roo's vests (и Захотела Посчитать Вещи — такие, как переднички[21] Ру), and how many pieces of soap there were left (и сколько кусков мыла осталось), and the two clean spots in Tigger's feeder (два свежих пятнышка на нагруднике Тиггера); so she had sent them out with a packet of watercress sandwiches for Roo (поэтому она отправила их на улицу / на прогулку с пакетом бутербродов с водяным крессом для Ру) and a packet of extract-of-malt sandwiches for Tigger (и пакетом бутербродов с солодовым экстрактом для Тигера), to have a nice long morning in the Forest not getting into mischief (чтобы они провели прекрасное долгое утро в лесу и не попали в беду). And off they had gone (и они ушли).

motherly ['mADqlI], soap [squp], sandwich ['sxnwIG]

Now it happened that Kanga had felt rather motherly that morning, and Wanting to Count Things — like Roo's vests, and how many pieces of soap there were left, and the two clean spots in Tigger's feeder; so she had sent them out with a packet of watercress sandwiches for Roo and a packet of extract-of-malt sandwiches for Tigger, to have a nice long morning in the Forest not getting into mischief. And off they had gone.

And as they went (и когда они шли), Tigger told Roo (who wanted to know) all about the things that Tiggers could do (Тигер рассказал Ру (который хотел знать) все о том, что умеют делать Тигеры). "Can they fly?" asked Roo (они умеют летать? — спросил Ру).

"Yes," said Tigger (да, — сказал Тигер), "they're very good flyers, Tiggers are (Тигеры очень хорошие летуны). Strornry[22] good flyers (Чизычайно хорошие летуны)."

"Oo!" said Roo (у! — сказал Ру). "Can they fly as well as Owl (они умеют летать так же хорошо, как Филин)?"

"Yes," said Tigger (да, — сказал Тигер). "Only they don't want to (только они не хотят)."

"Why don't they want to (почему они не хотят)?"

"Well, they just don't like it, somehow (ну, им это просто не нравится, почему-то)."

could [kud], want [wOnt], somehow ['sAmhau]

And as they went, Tigger told Roo (who wanted to know) all about the things that Tiggers could do. "Can they fly?" asked Roo.

"Yes," said Tigger, "they're very good flyers, Tiggers are. Strornry good flyers."

"Oo!" said Roo. "Can they fly as well as Owl?"

"Yes," said Tigger. "Only they don't want to."

"Why don't they want to?"

"Well, they just don't like it, somehow."

Roo couldn't understand this (Ру не мог понять этого), because he thought it would be lovely to be able to fly (потому что он думал, что было бы здорово уметь летать), but Tigger said it was difficult to explain to anybody (но Тигер сказал, что это трудно объяснить кому-либо) who wasn't a Tigger himself (кто сам не Тигер).

"Well," said Roo (ну, — сказал Ру), "can they jump as far as Kangas (/а/ они умеют прыгать /так/ далеко, как Кенги)?"

"Yes," said Tigger (да, — сказал Тигер). "When they want to (когда они хотят)."

"I love jumping," said Roo (я очень люблю прыгать, — сказал Ру). "Let's see who can jump farthest, you or me (давай посмотрим, кто может прыгнуть дальше всего, ты или я)."

"I can," said Tigger (я /могу/, — сказал Тигер). "But we mustn't stop now, or we shall be late (но нам нельзя останавливаться, иначе мы опоздаем)."

"Late for what (опоздаем куда)?"

"For whatever we want to be in time for (туда, куда мы хотим придти вовремя)," said Tigger, hurrying on (сказал Тигер, торопясь дальше).

lovely ['lAvlI], far [fR], farthest ['fRDIst]

Roo couldn't understand this, because he thought it would be lovely to be able to fly, but Tigger said it was difficult to explain to anybody who wasn't a Tigger himself.

"Well," said Roo, "can they jump as far as Kangas?"

"Yes," said Tigger. "When they want to."

"I love jumping," said Roo. "Let's see who can jump farthest, you or me."

"I can," said Tigger. "But we mustn't stop now, or we shall be late."

"Late for what?"

"For whatever we want to be in time for," said Tigger, hurrying on.

In a little while they came to the Six Pine Trees (вскоре они пришли к Шести Соснам).

"I can swim," said Roo (я умею плавать, — сказал Ру). "I fell into the river, and I swimmed (я упал в реку и плавывал /правильно было бы: swam/). Can Tiggers swim (Тигеры умеют плавать)?"
