melancholy ['melqnkqlI], morning ['mLnIN], natural ['nxCrql]
"I don't mean you, Christopher Robin. You're different. So what it all comes to is that I built myself a house down by my little wood."
"Did you really? How exciting!"
"The really exciting part," said Eeyore in his most melancholy voice, "is that when I left it this morning it was there, and when I came back it wasn't. Not at all, very natural, and it was only Eeyore's house. But still I just wondered."
Christopher Robin didn't stop to wonder (Кристофер Робин не колебался, чтобы удивиться = несталтратитьвремянаудивление / наахииохи; tostop — останавливаться; колебаться, пребыватьвнерешительности). He was already back in his house (он уже был снова в своем доме), putting on his waterproof hat (надевая свою непромокаемую шапку), his waterproof boots (свои непромокаемые ботинки), and his waterproof macintosh as fast as he could (и свое непромокаемое пальто / свой макинтош[5] так быстро, как /он/ /только/ мог).
"We'll go and look for it at once (мы сейчас же пойдем и поищем его = наегопоиски; to look for — искать)," he called out to Eeyore (крикнул он Иа).
"Sometimes," said Eeyore (иногда, — сказал Иа), "when people have quite finished taking a person’s house (когда /люди/ полностью закончили уносить = унесли чей-то дом; person — человека, персона, лицо, личность), there are one or two bits which they don't want (остается один-два = пара кусочков, которые /им/ не нужны) and are rather glad for the person to take back (и /они/ довольно рады, когда эта личность заберет их назад), if you know what I mean (если ты знаешь = понимаешь, что я имею в виду / хочу сказать). So I thought if we just went (поэтому я подумал, если бы мы просто пошли) — "

"Come on," said Christopher Robin (идем, — сказал Кристофер Робин), and off they hurried (и они поспешили /прочь/), and in a very little time they got to the corner of the field (и очень скоро они добрались до угла поля) by the side of the pine-wood, where Eeyore's house wasn't any longer (у края сосняка, где больше не было дома Иа).
"There!" said Eeyore (ну вот! — сказал Иа). "Not a stick of it left (не осталось ни одной палочки)! Of course, I've still got all this snow to do what I like with (конечно, у меня все еще есть весь этот снег, с которым я могу сделать что угодно). One mustn't complain (нельзя жаловаться)."
But Christopher Robin wasn't listening to Eeyore (но Кристофер Робин не слушал Иа), he was listening to something else (он прислушивался к чему-то другому).
"Can you hear it?" he asked (ты слышишь /это/? — спросил он).
"What is it (что /это/)? Somebody laughing (кто-то смеется)?"
"Listen (послушай)."

"What is it? Somebody laughing?"
"Listen."
They both listened (они оба прислушались)... and they heard a deep gruff voice saying in a singing voice (и они услышали низкий грубый голос, говорящий певческим голосом = поющий), that the more it snowed the more it went on snowing (что чем больше идет снег, тем больше он продолжает идти), and a small high voice tiddely-pom-ming in between (и тоненький высокий голосок, тирли-бомкающий в промежутках).
