He sang it like that (он пропел ее так), which is much the best way of singing it (что гораздо лучший способ ее пения = и так ее петь оказалось лучше всего), and when he had finished (и когда он закончил), he waited for Piglet to say (он ждал, что Пятачок скажет) that, of all the Outdoor Hums for Snowy Weather he had ever heard, this was the best (что из всех Уличных Хмыкалок для Снежной Погоды, которые он когда-либо слышал, эта — самая лучшая). And, after thinking the matter out carefully, Piglet said (и после тщательного обдумывания /предмета/ Пятачок сказал):

"Pooh," he said solemnly (Пух, — сказал он торжественно), "it isn't the toes so much as the ears (не столько пальцы ног, как уши)."

He sang it like that, which is much the best way of singing it, and when he had finished, he waited for Piglet to say that, of all the Outdoor Hums for Snowy Weather he had ever heard, this was the best. And, after thinking the matter out carefully, Piglet said:

"Pooh," he said solemnly, "it isn't the toes so much as the ears."

By this time they were getting near Eeyore's Gloomy Place (к этому времени они подходили к Угрюмому Месту Иа), which was where he lived (которое находилось там, где он жил), and as it was still very snowy behind Piglet's ears (и так как за ушами Пятачка все еще было очень снежно), and he was getting tired of it (и он уставал от этого = и ему это начинало надоедать), they turned into a little pine-wood (они свернули в маленький сосновый лес = соснячок), and sat down on the gate which led into it (и сели на ворота, которые вели в него; to lead). They were out of the snow now (они были вне снега теперь = теперь на них не попадал снег), but it was very cold (но было очень холодно), and to keep themselves warm (и /чтобы/ согреться) they sang Pooh's song right through six times (они пропели песню Пуха полностью шесть раз), Piglet doing the tidde-ly-poms and Pooh doing the rest of it (Пятачок делал тирли-бомы = тирли-бомкал, а Пух делал остальное = пел остальное), and both of them thumping on the top of the gate with pieces of stick at the proper places (и они оба стучали по верхней части ворот кусками палки = палочками в нужных местах). And in a little while they felt much warmer, and were able to talk again (и вскоре они почувствовали себя = почувствовали, что им стало гораздо теплее, и /они/ снова смогли говорить).

By this time they were getting near Eeyore's Gloomy Place, which was where he lived, and as it was still very snowy behind Piglet's ears, and he was getting tired of it, they turned into a little pine-wood, and sat down on the gate which led into it. They were out of the snow now, but it was very cold, and to keep themselves warm they sang Pooh's song right through six times, Piglet doing the tiddely-poms and Pooh doing the rest of it, and both of them thumping on the top of the gate with pieces of stick at the proper places. And in a little while they felt much warmer, and were able to talk again.

"I've been thinking," said Pooh (я думал, — сказал Пух), "and what I've been thinking is this (и вот о чем я думал). I've been thinking about Eeyore (я думал об Иа)."

"What about Eeyore (что об Иа)?"

"Well, poor Eeyore has nowhere to live (ну, /что/ бедному Иа негде жить)."

"Nor he has," said Piglet (тоже нет = негде, — сказал Пятачок).

"You have a house, Piglet (у тебя есть дом, Пятачок), and I have a house (и у меня есть дом), and they are very good houses (и это очень хорошие дома). And Christopher Robin has a house (и у Кристофера Робина есть дом), and Owl and Kanga and Rabbit have houses (и у Филина и Кенги и Кролика есть дома), and even Rabbit's friends and relations have houses or somethings (и даже у друзей и родственников Кролика есть дома или что-нибудь), but poor Eeyore has nothing (а у бедного Иа /нет/ ничего). So what I've been thinking is: Let's build him a house (и вот, что я надумал: давай построим ему дом)."

"I've been thinking," said Pooh, "and what I've been thinking is this. I've been thinking about Eeyore."

"What about Eeyore?"

"Well, poor Eeyore has nowhere to live."

"Nor he has," said Piglet.

"You have a house, Piglet, and I have a house, and they are very good houses. And Christopher Robin has a house, and Owl and Kanga and Rabbit have houses, and even Rabbit's friends and relations have houses or somethings, but poor Eeyore has nothing. So what I've been thinking is: Let's build him a house."

"That," said Piglet, "is a Grand Idea (это, — сказал Пятачок, — Грандиозная Идея). Where shall we build it (/и/ где мы его построим)?"

"We will build it here," said Pooh (мы построим его здесь, — сказал Пух), "just by this wood, out of the wind (как раз у этого леса, не на ветру), because this is where I thought of it (потому что именно здесь я это придумал). And we will call this Pooh Corner (и мы назовем это /место/ Пуховым Углом). And we will build an Eeyore House with sticks at Pooh Comer for Eeyore (и мы построим Дом Иа с = из палок на Пуховом Углу для Иа)."

"There was a heap of sticks on the other side of the wood," said Piglet (на другой стороне леса была куча палок, — сказал Пятачок). "I saw them (я видел их). Lots and lots (много-много). All piled up (все нагромождены кучей; to pile upнагромождать)."
