I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. I send them over land sea, I send them east and west; But after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. Шесть верных слуг есть у меня, Они мои учителя. Как, Почему и Кто, Что, Где, Когда, Известны имена их всем наверняка. Моря, земля им не преграда Запад иль восток – не суть. Службу неплохую они мне сослужили Теперь не грех и отдохнуть. I let them rest from nine till five, For I am busy then, As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea, For they are hungry men. But different folk have different views. I know a person small She keeps ten million serving-men, Who get no rest at all! С пяти до девяти они свободны, Ведь ждут меня тогда дела. На завтрак, ужин и обед, А также выпить кружку чая Само собой их тоже отпускаю (Мы, взрослые, ведь это понимаем) Но мир настолько многолик: К примеру, одна маленькая леди Содержит десять миллионов слуг, Вот у них совсем нет время на досуг:

She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs, From the second she opens her eyes - One million Hows, two million Wheres, And seven million Whys! * * * Rudyard Kipling – from The Elephant's Child Стоит ей лишь пожелать - Она их будет из-за границы принимать. Они все тайны мира с ней вместе раскрывают, Где, Почему и Как – вопросы трудно сосчитать, Но не дают нам они котов из мешков доставать. * * * Редьярд Киплинг – из сказки Слонёнок (перевод Перегут И. )

I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. I send them over land sea, I send them east and west; But after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. Есть у меня шестерка слуг, Проворных, удалых. И все, что вижу я вокруг, Все знаю я от них. Они по знаку моему Являются в нужде. Зовут их: Как и Почему, Кто, Что, Когда и Где. Я по морям и по лесам Гоняю верных слуг. Потом работаю я сам, А им даю досуг. I let them rest from nine till five, For I am busy then, As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea, For they are hungry men. But different folk have different views. I know a person small She keeps ten million serving-men, Who get no rest at all! Даю им отдых от забот – Пускай не устают. Они прожорливый народ – Пускай едят и пьют. Но у меня есть милый друг, Особа юных лет. Ей служат сотни тысяч слуг, И всем покоя нет!

She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs, From the second she opens her eyes - One million Hows, two million Wheres, And seven million Whys! Она гоняет, как собак, В ненастье, дождь и тьму Пять тысяч Где, семь тысяч Как, Сто тысяч Почему! * * * Rudyard Kipling – from The Elephant's Child * * * Редьярд Киплинг – из сказки Слонёнок (перевод: Самуил Маршак)

KIPLING’S CREATIVE WORK According to critic Douglas Kerr: "He is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognised as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with. "

The Writing Style • Encouraging tone - comes inversely from his miserable childhood tone • Autobiographical – the need to share the stories of his travels with Autobiographical the world. Kipling travelled a great amount throughout his life. His many travels are the basis of several of his short stories • Patriotic - comes from his love for India and England. Kipling Patriotic was a strong supporter of patriotism and imperialism Kipling constantly refers to the military in several of his stories He was known to be a strong supporter of the British Empire.
