So they got down off the gate (и они слезли с ворот) and went round to the other side of the wood to fetch the sticks (и пошли вокруг на другую сторону леса за палками: «чтобы принести палки»).

"Thank you, Piglet," said Pooh. "What you have just said will be a Great Help to us, and because of it I could call this place Poohandpiglet Corner if Pooh Corner didn't sound better, which it does, being smaller and more like a corner. Come along."

Christopher Robin had spent the morning indoors going to Africa and back (Кристофер Робин провел утро дома, путешествуя в Африку и обратно), and he had just got off the boat (и он только что сошел с корабля) and was wondering what it was like outside (и спрашивал себя, как там на улице; outside — снаружи, извне), when who should come knocking at the door but Eeyore (когда к нему в дверь постучался не кто иной, как Иа).

Christopher Robin had spent the morning indoors going to Africa and back, and he had just got off the boat and was wondering what it was like outside, when who should come knocking at the door but Eeyore.
"Hallo, Eeyore," said Christopher Robin (привет, Иа, — сказал Кристофер Робин), as he opened the door and came out (когда он открыл дверь и вышел). "How are you (как /ты/ поживаешь)?"
"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily (все еще идет снег, — сказал Иа угрюмо).
"So it is (да)."
"And freezing (и морозит)."
"Is it (неужели)?"
"Yes," said Eeyore (да, — сказал Иа). "However," he said, brightening up a little (однако, — сказал он, немного наполняясь радостью; bright — светлый; to brighten up — проясняться; наполнять(ся) радостью), "we haven't had an earthquake lately (в последнее время у нас не было землетрясений)."
"What's the matter, Eeyore (что случилось: «в чем дело», Иа)?"

"Hallo, Eeyore," said Christopher Robin, as he opened the door and came out. "How are you?"
"It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately."
"What's the matter, Eeyore?"
"Nothing, Christopher Robin (ничего, Кристофер Робин). Nothing important (ничего существенного). I suppose you haven't seen a house or what-not anywhere about (я полагаю, ты не видел дома или чего-нибудь наподобие этого где-нибудь поблизости; to suppose — предполагать)?"
"What sort of a house (какого дома)?"
"Just a house (просто дома)."
"Who lives there (кто там = в нем живет)?"
"I do (я). At least I thought I did (по крайней мере, я думал, что я). But I suppose I don't (но /я/ допускаю, что не я = это не так). After all, we can't all have houses (в конце концов, не могут быть дома у всех нас)."
"But, Eeyore, I didn't know — I always thought (но, Иа, я не знал — я всегда думал) — "

"I don't know how it is, Christopher Robin (я не знаю, как это так, Кристофер Робин), but what with all this snow and one thing and another (но со всем этим снегом и то одним, то другим), not to mention icicles and such-like (не говоря уже о сосульках и тому подобном), it isn't so Hot in my field about three o'clock in the morning (не так уж Жарко на моем поле около трех часов утра) as some people think it is (как считают некоторые /люди/). It isn't Close (не удушливо), if you know what I mean — not so as to be uncomfortable (если ты понимаешь, что я имею в виду — не так, чтобы чувствовать себя стесненно; to know — понимать, осознавать). It isn't Stuffy (не душно). In fact, Christopher Robin," he went on in a loud whisper (по сути, Кристофер Робин, продолжил он громким шепотом), "quite-between-ourselves-and-don't-tell-anybody, it's Cold (только-между-нами-и-не-говори-никому, Холодно)."
"Oh, Eeyore (ах, Иа)!"

"Oh, Eeyore!"
"And I said to myself (и я сказал себе): The others will be sorry if I'm getting myself all cold (остальным будет жаль, если я совсем замерзну). They haven't got Brains, any of them (у них нет Мозгов, ни у кого из них), only grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake (только серый пух, который вдули в их головы по ошибке), and they don't Think, but if it goes on snowing for another six weeks or so (и они не Думают, но если снег будет продолжать идти еще шесть недель или около того), one of them will begin to say to himself (один из них начнет говорить себе): 'Eeyore can't be so very much too Hot about three o'clock in the morning (не может быть, чтобы Иа было так уж слишком очень Жарко около трех часов утра).' And then it will Get About (и тогда это = эта весть Распространится). And they'll be Sorry (и им станет Жаль)."
"Oh, Eeyore (ах, Иа)!" said Christopher Robin (сказал Кристофер Робин), feeling very sorry already (уже испытывая большое сожаление: «чувствуя очень сожалеющим»).

"Oh, Eeyore!" said Christopher Robin, feeling very sorry already.
"I don't mean you, Christopher Robin (я не имею в виду тебя, Кристофер Робин). You're different (ты другой). So what it all comes to is that I built myself a house down by my little wood (итак, все это означает, что я сам построил дом возле моего маленького леса = леска / рощицы; to come to — означать, касаться)."
"Did you really (в самом деле)? How exciting (как волнующе)!"
"The really exciting part," said Eeyore in his most melancholy voice (действительно волнующая часть, — сказал Иа своим самым меланхоличным голосом), "is that when I left it this morning it was there (заключается в том, что когда я оставил = вышел из него сегодня утром, он был там), and when I came back it wasn't (а когда я вернулся, его /уже/ не было). Not at all, very natural (вовсе /не было/, вполне естественно), and it was only Eeyore's house (/а/ это был лишь = всего-навсего дом Иа). But still I just wondered (но, тем не менее, я просто удивился)."

Christopher Robin didn't stop to wonder (Кристофер Робин не колебался, чтобы удивиться = не стал тратить время на удивление / на ахи и охи; to stop — останавливаться; колебаться, пребывать в нерешительности). He was already back in his house (он уже был снова в своем доме), putting on his waterproof hat (надевая свою непромокаемую
