“Someone at the door (кто-то у двери)!” he said, blinking (сказал он, моргая).

“Some four (кто-то вчетвером), I should say by the sound (я бы сказал по звуку), ” said Fili (сказал Фили). “Besides (кроме того), we saw them coming along (мы видели, что они подходят) behind us in the distance (за нами, в отдалении). ”

mine [man] goblin ['bln] depredation [depr'de n] dragon ['draen]

“Throng!” thought Mr. Baggins. “I don’t like the sound of that. I really must sit down for a minute and collect my wits, and have a drink. ”

He had only just had a sip in the corner, while the four dwarves sat around the table, and talked about mines and gold and troubles with the goblins, and the depredations of dragons, and lots of other things which he did not understand, and did not want to, for they sounded much too adventurous — when, ding-dong-a-ling-dang, his bell rang again, as if some naughty little hobbit-boy was trying to pull the handle off.

“Someone at the door!” he said, blinking.

“Some four, I should say by the sound, ” said Fili. “Besides, we saw them coming along behind us in the distance. ”

The poor little hobbit (бедный

маленький хоббит) sat down in the hall (присел /на стул/ в холле) and put his head in his hands (и положил свою голову на свои руки), and wondered what had happened (и задумался, что же такое случилось), and what was going to happen (и что еще случится), and whether they would all stay to supper (и останутся ли они все к ужину). Then the bell rang again louder than ever (затем колокольчик зазвенел снова, громче, чем когда бы то ни было), and he had to run to the door (и он побежал к двери). It was not four after all (это была не четверка, в конце концов), it was FIVE (это была пятерка /гномов/). Another dwarf had come along (еще один гном подошел) while he was wondering in the hall (пока он размышлял в холле). He had hardly turned the knob (он едва повернул круглую ручку), before they were all inside (до того, как они все оказались внутри), bowing and saying “at your service” one after another (кланяясь и говоря "к вашим услугам", один за другим). Dori (Дори), Nori (Нори), Ori (Ори), Oin (Ойн), and Gloin (и Глойн) were their names (были их имена); and very soon two purple hoods (и очень скоро два пурпурных капюшона), a grey hood (серый капюшон), a brown hood (коричневый капюшон), and a white hood (и белый капюшон) were hanging on the pegs (висели на колышках), and off they marched (и все они промаршировали /из прихожей/) with their broad hands stuck in their gold and silver belts (их широкие ладони /были при этом/ засунуты за их золотые и серебряные ремни) to join the others (чтобы присоединиться к остальным). Already it had almost become a throng (уже почти что образовалась компания). Some called for ale (некоторые требовали эля; ale — светлое пиво), and some for porter (а кто-то портер; porter — зд. черное пиво), and one for coffee (кто-то — кофе), and all of them for cakes (и все они требовали кексов); so the hobbit was kept very busy for a while (так что хоббит был очень занят некоторое время; to keep smb. busy — заставлять кого-либо напряженно трудиться). A big jug of coffee (большой кофейник: «кувшин кофе») had just been set in the hearth (был только что поставлен на очаг), the seed-cakes were gone (и кексы с тмином закончились), and the dwarves were starting on a round of buttered scones (и гномы перешли уже к ячменным лепешкам с маслом; round — шар, круг; зд. очередное блюдо), when there came a loud knock (когда раздался громкий стук). Not a ring (не звонок), but a hard rat-tat (но громкий тук-тук; hard — твердый; крепкий) on the hobbit’s beautiful green door (по красивой зеленой двери хоббита). Somebody was banging with a stick (кто-то колотил /по двери/ палкой)!

happen ['haepn] march [m: t] hearth [h: ]

The poor little hobbit sat down in the hall and put his head in his hands, and wondered what had happened, and what was going to happen, and whether they would all stay to supper. Then the bell rang again louder than ever, and he had to run to the door. It was not four after all, it was FIVE. Another dwarf had come along while he was wondering in the hall. He had hardly turned the knob, before they were all inside, bowing and saying “at your service” one after another. Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, and Gloin were their names; and very soon two purple hoods, a grey hood, a brown hood, and a white hood were hanging on the pegs, and off they marched with their broad hands stuck in their gold and silver belts to join the others. Already it had almost become a throng. Some called for ale, and some for porter, and one for coffee, and all of them for cakes; so the hobbit was kept very busy for a while. A big jug of coffee had just been set in the hearth, the seed-cakes were gone, and the dwarves were starting on a round of buttered scones, when there came a loud knock. Not a ring, but a hard rat-tat on the hobbit’s beautiful green door. Somebody was banging with a stick!

Bilbo rushed along the passage (Бильбо понесся по проходу), very angry (очень сердитый), and altogether bewildered (и одновременно смущенный) and bewuthered (и взволнованный, и взбешенный; bewuthered — авторск.: be — + wuthered (север. англ. диал) = о ветре: дующий сильно, с ревом, о месте: характеризуемый таким ревом: т. е. зд. = встревоженный и рассерженный шумом) — this was the most awkward Wednesday (это была самая нескладная среда) he ever remembered (какую он когда-либо помнил). He pulled open the door with a jerk (он потянул дверь и открыл ее рывком), and they all fell in (и все они ввалились в дом; to fall (fell, fallen) — падать), one on top of the other (один поверх другого; top — верхушка, верхняя часть). More dwarves (еще больше гномов), four more (аж четверо)! And there was Gandalf behind (и за ними стоял Гэндальф), leaning on his staff and laughing (опиравшийся на свой посох и хохочущий). He had made quite a dent (он сделал целую вмятину) on the beautiful door (на красивой двери); he had also, by the way (он также, между прочим), knocked out the secret mark (сбил тот самый секретный знак) that he had put there the morning before (который он нанес туда /на дверь/ предыдущим утром).

bewildered [b'wldd] awkward [': kwd] jerk [d: k]

Bilbo rushed along the passage, very angry, and altogether bewildered and bewuthered — this was the most awkward Wednesday he ever remembered. He pulled open the door with a jerk, and they all fell in, one on top of the other. More dwarves, four more! And there was Gandalf behind, leaning on his staff and laughing. He had made quite a dent on the beautiful door; he had also, by the way, knocked out the secret mark that he had put there the morning before.

“Carefully (осторожнее)! Carefully!” he said (сказал он). “It is not like you, Bilbo (это так на тебя не похоже, Бильбо), to keep friends waiting on the mat (заставлять друзей ждать за дверью; mat — мат, циновка, подстилка), and then open the door like a pop-gun (и после этого открывать дверь, словно /выстреливая/ из пугача)! Let me introduce (позвольте вам представить) Bifur (Бифур), Bofur (Бофур), Bombur (Бомбур), and especially Thorin (и, особенно, Торин)!”

“At your service (к вашим услугам)!” said Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur standing in a row (сказал Бифур, Бофур и Бомбур, стоя в ряд). Then they hung up two yellow hoods (затем они повесили /на колышки/ два желтых капюшона) and a pale green one (и один светло-зеленый); and also a sky-blue one (а также один небесно-голубой) with a long silver tassel (с длинной серебряной кисточкой). This last belonged to Thorin (этот последний принадлежал Торину), an enormously important dwarf (невероятно важному гному), in fact no other than the great Thorin Oakenshield himself (на самом деле, ни кому другому, как великому Торину Оукеншильду; oaken — дубовый; shield — щит), who was not at all pleased (который вовсе не был доволен тем) at falling flat on Bilbo’s mat (что упал плашмя на придверный коврик Бильбо) with Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur on top of him (с Бифуром, Бофуром и Бомбуром поверх него). For one thing (прежде всего потому) Bombur was immensely fat and heavy (что Бомбур был неимоверно толстый и тяжелый). Thorin indeed was very haughty (Торин на самом-то деле был очень надменный), and said nothing about service (и не сказал ничего ни о каких услугах); but poor Mr. Baggins said he was sorry so many times (но бедный мистер Бэггинс сказал, что ему очень жаль, так много раз), that at last he grunted (что в конце концов он пробормотал) “pray don’t mention it (прошу, не упоминайте об этом; don’t mention it — не стоит, ничего—вответнаизвинения), ” and stopped frowning (и перестал хмуриться).

carefully ['kef l] popgun ['ppn] tassel ['taes l] haughty ['h: t]

“Carefully! Carefully!” he said. “It is not like you, Bilbo, to keep friends waiting on the mat, and then open the door like a pop-gun! Let me introduce Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and especially Thorin!”

“At your service!” said Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur standing in a row. Then they hung up two yellow hoods and a pale green one; and also a sky-blue one with a long silver tassel. This last belonged to Thorin, an enormously important dwarf, in fact no other than the great Thorin Oakenshield himself, who was not at all pleased at falling flat on Bilbo’s mat with Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur on top of him. For one thing Bombur was immensely fat and heavy. Thorin indeed was very haughty, and said nothing about service; but poor Mr. Baggins said he was sorry so many times, that at last he grunted “pray don’t mention it, ” and stopped frowning.

“Now we are all here (теперь мы все здесь)!” said Gandalf (сказал Гэндальф), looking at the row of thirteen hoods (смотря на ряд из тринадцати капюшонов) — the best detachable party hoods (самых лучших отстежных капюшонов для хождения в гости; to detach — отделять (ся); отвязывать) — and his own hat hanging on the pegs (и на свою собственную шляпу, висевших на колышках).

“Quite a merry gathering (очень веселое собрание)! I hope there is something left (я надеюсь, что что-нибудь осталось) for the late-comers (для опоздавших: «поздно пришедших») to eat and drink (покушать и выпить)! What’s that (что это)? Tea (чай)! No thank you (нет уж, спасибо)! A little red wine, I think, for me (мне: «для меня» немного красного вина, я думаю). ”
