1、维尼熊的故事(The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh) 我爱英语网http:/The Complete Tales of Winnie- the- Pooh A.A. Milne With decorations by Ernest H. Shepard Chapter One In Which We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-pooh and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bum
2、p, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isnt. Anyhow here he is at the
3、bottom, and ready to be introduced to you. Winnie-the-Pooh. When I first heard his name, I said, just as you are going to say, “But I thought he was a boy?” “So did I,” said Christopher Robin. “Then you cant call him Winnie?” “I dont.” “But you said “ “Hes Winnie-the-Pooh. Dont you know what ther me
4、ans?” “Ah, yes, now I do,” I said quickly; and I hope you do too, because it is all the explanation you are going to get. Sometimes Winnie- the- Pooh likes a game of some sort when he comes downstairs, and sometimes he likes to sit quietly in front of the fire and listen to a story. This evening “Wh
5、at about a story?” said Christopher Robin. “What about a story?” I said. “Could you very sweetly tell Winnie- the- Pooh one?” “I suppose I could,” I said. “What sort of stories does he like?” “About himself. Because hes that sort of Bear.” “Oh, I see.” “So could you very sweetly?” “Ill try,” I said.
6、 So I tried. Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie- the- Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders. (“What does under the name mean?” asked Christopher Robin. “It means he had the name over the door in gold letters, and lived under it.” “Winnie-
7、the- Pooh wasnt quite sure,” said Christopher Robin. “Now I am,” said a growly voice. “Then I will go on,” said I.) One day when he was out walking, he came to an open place in the middle of the forest, and in the middle of this place was a large oak- tree, and, from the top of the tree, there came
8、a loud buzzing- noise. Winnie- the- Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think. First of all he said to himself: “That buzzing- noise means something. You dont get a buzzing- noise like that, just buzzing and buzzing, without its meaning something. If the
9、res a buzzing- noise, somebodys making a buzzing- noise that I know of is because youre a bee.” Then he thought another long time, and said, “And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.” And then he got up, and said: “And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it
10、.” So he began to climb the tree. He climbed and he climbed and he climbed, and as he climbed he sang a little song to himself. It went like this: Isnt it funny How a bear likes honey? Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! I wonder why he does? 第一章 让我们认识Winnie- the- Pooh和一些蜜蜂，而且故事开始了 Edward小熊正在下楼梯，砰，砰，砰，头碰着地，跟随着Christo
11、pher Robin。这是他暂时知道下楼梯的惟一方法，但有时候他认为真的应该有其它方法，只要他不再被砰和思考一下。然后他又觉得可能是没有其它方法了。无论如何，他现在已在楼梯下，而且准备好介绍给你了。Winnie- the- Pooh。 当我第一次听到这个名字，我问了一个你也正想问的问题：我以为他是个男孩子？ 我也是。Christopher Robin说。 所以你不应该叫他Winnie？ 我没有。 可是你说他叫 他是Winnie- the- Pooh。难道你不知道这个THE字是甚么意思吗？ 啊，是的，我知道了。我赶快地回答；而且我希望你也知道了，因为这已是全部的解释。 有时候Winnie- th
12、e- Pooh喜欢在下楼梯后做游戏，有时候他喜欢静静地待在火炉边听故事。在这个晚上 来一个故事吧？Christopher Robin说。 来一个故事？我说。 你可以甜蜜地说一个故事给Winnie- the- Pooh听吗？ 我想是可以的。我说。他喜欢甚么故事呢？ 他自己的故事。因为他是很独特的小熊。 噢，原来如此。 你会说得很甜蜜的，是吧？ 我会试试。我说。 于是我试着说了一个故事。 从前，很久很久以前，大概在上星期五，Winnie- the- Pooh一个人住在森林里，Sanders这个名字底下。 (住在名字底下是甚么意思？Christopher Robin问。 就是说他住在一道有金色字母写
13、在上头的门的下面。 Winnie- the- Pooh不是很肯定。Christopher Robin说。 我现在肯定了。有一把渐渐响亮的声音回答。 那我就继续。我说。) 有一天他去散步，走到森林中心的一块空地，空地中心有一棵栎树，树上传来一阵很吵的嗡嗡声。 Winnie- the- Pooh坐到了树下，用两只小熊掌托着头，然后开始想事情。 首先他对自己说：那些嗡嗡声一定是有某种意思。你不会无缘无故地听到嗡嗡 嗡嗡一直在吵，而一点原因都没有。如果有嗡嗡声在吵，有人在制造嗡嗡声，我就知道因为你是一只蜜蜂，一定要嗡嗡地叫。 然后他又想了很久，说：而且作为蜜蜂就是为了采蜜糖的。 他站起来，再说：采蜜糖
14、就是为了我去把它吃掉。所以他就开始去爬那棵树。 他爬呀爬呀爬呀，一边爬还一边哼歌给自己听。那首歌是这样的： “这不是很有趣吗 小熊怎么这样喜欢蜜糖？ 嗡！嗡！嗡！ 我真奇怪他为什么？”Then he climbed a little further. . . and a little further. . . and then just a little further. By that time he had thought of another song. Its a very funny thought that, if Bears were Bees, Theyd build thei
15、r nests at the bottom of trees. And that being so (if the Bees were Bears), We shouldnt have to climb up all these stairs. He was getting rather tired by this time, so that is why he sang a Complaining Song. He was nearly there now, and if he just stood on that branch . . . Crack! “Oh, help!”said Pooh, as he dropped ten feet on the branch below him. “If only I hadnt“he said, as he bounced twenty feet on to the next branch. “You see, what I meant to do,”he explained, as he turned head- over- heels, and
