“It's a nice long one,” said Pooh (это красивая длинная одна = надпись, сказал Пух), very much impressed by it (очень впечатленный ею; to impress — впечатлять, производить впечатление).
“Well, actually, of course, I'm saying 'A Very Happy Birthday with love from Pooh (ну, на самом деле, конечно, я пишу = написал «Очень Счастливого Дня Рождения с приветом от Пуха»).' Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that (естественно, много карандаша уходит на то, чтобы выразить такую длинную вещь = фразу).”
“Oh, I see,” said Pooh (а, понятно, — сказал Пух).
admiringly [], carelessly [], love []
Pooh looked on admiringly.
“I'm just saying ‘A Happy Birthday’,” said Owl carelessly.
“It's a nice long one,” said Pooh, very much impressed by it.
“Well, actually, of course, I'm saying 'A Very Happy Birthday with love from Pooh. ' Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that.”
“Oh, I see,” said Pooh.
While all this was happening (в то время как происходило все это), Piglet had gone back to his own house to get Eeyore's balloon (Пятачок вернулся к своему собственному дому за воздушным шариком для Иа). He held it very tightly against himself (он очень крепко прижимал его к себе), so that it shouldn't blow away (так чтобы его не унесло прочь /ветром/; to blow — дуть), and he ran as fast as he could so as to get to Eeyore before Pooh did (и он бежал так быстро, как /только/ мог, чтобы добраться до Иа раньше Пуха: «прежде чем Пух сделал»); for he thought that he would like to be the first one to give a present (так как он подумал, что он хотел бы быть первым, /кто/ подарит подарок), just as if he had thought of it without being told by anybody (просто как будто он вспомнил об этом /сам/, а не кто-то сказал ему: «без /того, чтобы/ быть сказанным кем-то = ему сказал кто-то»). And running along, and thinking how pleased Eeyore would be (и бежа = на бегу думая /о том/, как рад будет Иа), he didn't look where he was going (он не смотрел, куда он идет = несется)… and suddenly he put his foot in a rabbit hole (и вдруг он поставил свою ногу = попал ногой в кроличью норку), and fell down flat on his face (и упал плашмя / растянулся на свое лицо = прямо мордочкой вниз; to fall — падать).
