They all clapped (/они/ все зааплодировали).

"Thank you," said Eeyore (спасибо, — сказал Иа). "Unexpected and gratifying (неожиданно и приятно; to gratify/уст./ вознаграждать; удовлетворять; доставлять удовольствие; радовать), if a little lacking in Smack (если /и/ не достает немного Вкуса)."

"It's much better than mine (оно гораздо лучше моих)," said Pooh admiringly (сказал восхищенно Пух; to admireвосхищаться), and he really thought it was (и он действительно думал, что так оно и есть).

"Well," explained Eeyore modestly (ну, — скромно пояснил Иа), "it was meant to be (это и было так задумано)."

want [wOnt], gratify ['grxtIfaI], admiringly [qd'maIqrINlI]

"If anybody wants to clap," said Eeyore when he had read this, "now is the time to do it."

They all clapped.

"Thank you," said Eeyore. "Unexpected and gratifying, if a little lacking in Smack."

"It's much better than mine," said Pooh admiringly, and he really thought it was.

"Well," explained Eeyore modestly, "it was meant to be."

"The rissolution," said Rabbit (резалюция, — сказал Кролик), "is that we all sign it (значит, что мы все ее подписываем), and take it to Christopher Robin (и относим ее Кристоферу Робину)."

So it was signed (и она была подписана) PooH, WOL, PIGLET, EOR, RABBIT, KANGA, BLOT, SMUDGE (ПуХ, Хвилен, Пятачок, Ия, Кролик, Кенга, Клякса, Размазанная клякса) and they all went off to Christopher Robin's house with it (и они все отправились с ней к дому Кристофера Робина).

"Hallo, everybody (привет всем)," said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин) — "Hallo, Pooh (привет, Пух)."

blot [blOt], smudge [smAG], with [wID]

"The rissolution," said Rabbit, "is that we all sign it, and take it to Christopher Robin."

So it was signed PooH, WOL, PIGLET, EOR, RABBIT, KANGA, BLOT, SMUDGE and they all went off to Christopher Robin's house with it.

"Hallo, everybody," said Christopher Robin — "Hallo, Pooh."

They all said "Hallo (/они/ все сказали: привет)," and felt awkward and unhappy suddenly (и вдруг почувствовали себя неловко и печально), because it was a sort of good-bye they were saying (потому что это было вроде прощания /которое они говорили/; to say good-byeпрощаться), and they didn't want to think about it (а они не хотели думать об этом). So they stood around (поэтому они стояли вокруг), and waited for somebody else to speak (и ждали, что заговорит кто-то другой), and they nudged each other (и они толкали друг друга), and said "Go on (и говорили: ну, давай)," and gradually Eeyore was nudged to the front (и постепенно вперед вытолкали Иа), and the others crowded behind him (а остальные сгрудились / столпились позади него).

"What is it, Eeyore (что такое, Иа)?" asked Christopher Robin (спросил Кристофер Робин).

around [q'raund], gradually ['grxdjuqlI], crowd [kraud]

They all said "Hallo," and felt awkward and unhappy suddenly, because it was a sort of good-bye they were saying, and they didn't want to think about it. So they stood around, and waited for somebody else to speak, and they nudged each other, and said "Go on," and gradually Eeyore was nudged to the front, and the others crowded behind him.

"What is it, Eeyore?" asked Christopher Robin.

Eeyore swished his tail from side to side (Иа помахал /своим/ хвостом из стороны в сторону), so as to encourage himself, and began (чтобы приободрить себя, и начал).

"Christopher Robin," he said (Кристофер Робин, — сказал он), "we've come to say (мы пришли сказать) — to give you (дать тебе) — it's called (это называется) — written by (написанную) — but we've all (но мы все) — because we've heard (потому что мы слышали), I mean we all know (я хочу сказать, мы все знаем) — well, you see, it's (ну, видишь ли, это) — we (мы) — you (ты) — well, that (ну, это), to put it as shortly as possible (короче говоря: «чтобы изложить это столь коротко, как возможно»), is what it is (вот в чем дело)." He turned round angrily on the others and said (он сердито повернулся к остальным и сказал), "Everybody crowds round so in this Forest (в этом Лесу все так и толкутся). There's no Space (нет Пространства). I never saw a more Spreading lot of animals in my life (я никогда в своей жизни не видел более Распространенного множества животных), and all in the wrong places (и все не там). Can't you see (разве вы не видите) that Christopher Robin wants to be alone (что Кристофер Робин хочет побыть один)? I'm going (я ухожу)." And he humped off (и он умчался; to hump offумчаться).

encourage [In'kArIG], shortly ['SLtlI], spread [spred]

Eeyore swished his tail from side to side, so as to encourage himself, and began.

"Christopher Robin," he said, "we've come to say — to give you — it's called — written by — but we've all — because we've heard, I mean we all know — well, you see, it's — we — you — well, that, to put it as shortly as possible, is what it is." He turned round angrily on the others and said, "Everybody crowds round so in this Forest. There's no Space. I never saw a more Spreading lot of animals in my life, and all in the wrong places. Can't you see that Christopher Robin wants to be alone? I'm going." And he humped off.

Not quite knowing why (не совсем понимая почему), the others began edging away (остальные начали отходить бочком), and when Christopher Robin had finished reading POEM (и когда Кристофер Робин закончил чтение СТИХА), and was looking up to say "Thank you (и поднял взгляд, чтобы сказать: спасибо)," only Pooh was left (остался только Пух).

"It's a comforting sort of thing to have (это вроде утешения)," said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин), folding up the paper (сворачивая бумагу), and putting it in his pocket (и кладя ее в /свой/ карман). "Come on, Pooh (идем, Пух)," and he walked off quickly (и он быстро пошел прочь).

"Where are we going (куда мы идем)?" said Pooh (спросил Пух), hurrying after him (поспешая за ним), and wondering whether it was to be an Explore or a What-shall-I-do-about-you-know-what (и спрашивая себя, будет ли это Исследовательский поход или Что-мне-делать-в-отношении-того-ты-знаешь-чего = Неизвестно-что).
