“The flood-level has reached an unprecedented height (уровень паводка достиг беспрецедентной высоты).”
“The who (кто)?”
“There's a lot of water about,” explained Owl (много воды кругом, — пояснил Филин).
atmospheric ["], unfavourable [], height []
“I say, Owl,” said Christopher Robin, “isn't this fun? I'm on an island!”
“The atmospheric conditions have been very unfavourable lately,” said Owl.
“The what?”
“It has been raining,” explained Owl.
“Yes,” said Christopher Robin. “It has.”
“The flood-level has reached an unprecedented height.”
“The who?”
“There's a lot of water about,” explained Owl.
“Yes,” said Christopher Robin, “there is (да, — сказал Кристофер Робин, — есть = много).”
“However, the prospects are rapidly becoming more favourable (однако, перспективы быстро становятся более благоприятными). At any moment— (в любой момент)”
“Have you seen Pooh (ты видел Пуха)?”
“No (нет). At any moment— (в любой момент)”
“I hope he's all right,” said Christopher Robin (я надеюсь, /что/ с ним все хорошо, — сказал Кристофер Робин). “I've been wondering about him (я интересовался = интересно узнать о нем). I expect Piglet's with him (/я/ надеюсь, Пятачок с ним). Do you think they're all right, Owl (ты думаешь, у них все в порядке, Филин)?”
“I expect so (надеюсь, что так). You see, at any moment— (видишь ли, в любой момент)”
prospect [ˈprɒspɛkt], rapidly [], seen []
“Yes,” said Christopher Robin, “there is.”
“However, the prospects are rapidly becoming more favourable. At any moment—”
“Have you seen Pooh?”
“No. At any moment—”
“I hope he's all right,” said Christopher Robin. “I've been wondering about him. I expect Piglet's with him. Do you think they're all right, Owl?”
“I expect so. You see, at any moment—”
“Do go and see, Owl (все-таки пойди = слетай и выясни, Филин). Because Pooh hasn't got very much brain (потому что у Пуха не очень много ума), and he might do something silly (и он может совершить какую-нибудь глупость), and I do love him so, Owl (а я его так люблю, Филин). Do you see, Owl (ты понимаешь, Филин)?”
“That's all right,” said Owl (хорошо, — сказал Филин). “I'll go (я слетаю). Back directly (/и/ немедленно назад).” And he flew off (и он улетел; to fly off — отлетать, слетать).
In a little while he was back again (вскоре он снова вернулся). Pooh isn't there,” he said (Пуха нет там, — сказал он).
“Not there (нет там = где там)?”
“He's been there (он был там). He's been sitting on a branch of his tree outside his house with nine pots of honey (он сидел на ветке своего дерева снаружи /своего/ дома с девятью горшками меда). But he isn't there now (но сейчас его там нет).”
