“What do you think you'll answer (/и/ что ты думаешь, ты ответишь)?”

mysteriously [], closer [], answer []

“Hallo!” said Piglet, “what are you doing?”

“Hunting,” said Pooh.

“Hunting what?”

“Tracking something,” said Winnie-the-Pooh very mysteriously.

“Tracking what?” said Piglet, coming closer.

“That's just what I ask myself. I ask myself, What?”

“What do you think you'll answer?”

“I shall have to wait until I catch up with it,” said Winnie-the-Pooh (мне придется дождаться, пока я не нагоню его, — сказал Винни-Пух). “Now, look there (ну-ка, погляди туда).” He pointed to the ground in front of him (он показал на землю перед ним). “What do you see there (что ты видишь там)?”

“Tracks,” said Piglet (следы, — сказал Пятачок). “Paw-marks (следы лап).” He gave a little squeak of excitement (он немножко взвизгнул от волнения). “Oh, Pooh (ой, Пух)! Do you think it's a — a—a Woozle (ты думаешь, это Расплох)?”

“It may be,” said Pooh (это может быть = возможно, — сказал Пух). “Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't (иногда он, а иногда не он). You never can tell with paw-marks (/ты/ никогда не различишь по отпечаткам лап).”

catch [], there [], may []

“I shall have to wait until I catch up with it,” said Winnie-the-Pooh. “Now, look there.” He pointed to the ground in front of him. “What do you see there?”

“Tracks,” said Piglet. “Paw-marks.” He gave a little squeak of excitement. “Oh, Pooh! Do you think it's a — a—a Woozle?”

“It may be,” said Pooh. “Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. You never can tell with paw-marks.”

With these few words he went on tracking (с этими немногими словами он продолжил идти по следу), and Piglet, after watching him for a minute or two, ran after him (а Пятачок, понаблюдав за ним минуту-другую, побежал за ним; to run — бежать). Winnie-the-Pooh had come to a sudden stop (Винни-Пух вдруг резко остановился: «подошел к неожиданной остановке»), and was bending over the tracks in a puzzled sort of way (и склонился над следами озадаченно: «в озадаченном сорте способа»).

“What's the matter?” asked Piglet (в чем дело? — спросил Пятачок).

“It's a very funny thing,” said Bear (это очень забавно, — сказал Мишка), “but there seem to be two animals now (но кажется, теперь, /уже/ два зверя). This — whatever-it-was — has been joined by another — whatever-it-is (к этому Кому-бы-то-ни-было: «кто-бы-это-был» присоединилось другое Кто-бы-то-ни-было: «кто-бы-это-есть») — and the two of them are now proceeding in company (и двое из них = и они вдвоем продолжают теперь идти в компании). Would you mind coming with me, Piglet (ты не возражал бы пойти со мной, Пятачок), in case they turn out to be Hostile Animals (на тот случай, если они окажутся /быть/ Враждебными Зверями)?”

few [], watch [], animal []
