argue [': ju: ] courage ['krd] expedition [eksp'd n]
“Now we had this all out before, when we landed on the Carrock, ” he said. “It is no use arguing. I have, as I told you, some pressing business away south; and I am already late through bothering with you people. We may meet again before all is over, and then again of course we may not. That depends on your luck and on your courage and sense; and I am sending Mr. Baggins with you. I have told you before that he has more about him than you guess, and you will find that out before long. So cheer up Bilbo and don’t look so glum. Cheer up Thorin and Company! This is your expedition after all. Think of the treasure at the end, and forget the forest and the dragon, at any rate until tomorrow morning!”
When tomorrow morning came (когда
“Don’t you worry (не волнуйтесь же вы)!” said Thorin. “It will get lighter all too soon (она /поклажа/ полегчает слишком скоро). Before long I expect (вскоре, я так думаю) we shall all wish our packs heavier (мы все будем желать, чтобы наши ранцы были бы потяжелее; a pack — тюк, узел, пакет, снаряжение), when the food begins to run short (когда пища начнет подходить к концу; to run — бежать; short — короткий; to run short — иссякать, кончаться). ”
Then at last they said good-bye to their ponies (затем, наконец, они попрощались со своими пони) and turned their heads for home (и повернули их головами к дому). Off they trotted gaily (они ускакали рысцой весело), seeming very glad (и казались очень довольными тем) to put their tails towards the shadow of Mirkwood (что они обернулись хвостами по направлению к неясному очертанию Мрачного Леса). As they went away (когда они удалились) Bilbo could have sworn (Бильбо мог бы поклясться; to swear (swore, sworn) — клясться) that a thing like a bear (что существо, похожее на медведя) left the shadow of the trees (покинуло тень деревьев) and shambled off quickly after them (и неуклюже двинулось быстро вслед за ними; to shamble — волочить ноги, тащиться). Now Gandalf too said farewell (теперь и Гэндальф попрощался; farewell — прощание). Bilbo sat on the ground (Бильбо сел на землю) feeling very unhappy (чувствуя себя очень несчастным) and wishing he was beside the wizard (и желая, чтобы он оказался рядом с волшебником) on his tall horse (на его высоком коне). He had gone just inside the forest after breakfast (он вошел как раз в глубь леса после завтрака; inside — внутрь) (a very poor one (очень скудного; poor — бедный, жалкий)), and it had seemed as dark in there in the morning as at night (и там, казалось, так же темно утром, как и ночью), and very secret (и очень уж таинственно; secret — тайный, секретный, потайной): “a sort of watching and waiting feeling (какое-то странное чувство, что за тобой кто-то наблюдает и ждет чего-то: «вроде какое-то чувство наблюдения и ожидания»; sort of — как бы, вроде, скорее; to watch — наблюдать, следить, поджидать), ” he said to himself (сказал он сам себе).
distribute [ds'trbju (:) t] wearisome ['w rs m] trudge [trd] shamble ['aemb l]
When tomorrow morning came he still said the same. So now there was nothing left to do but to fill their water-skins at a clear spring they found close to the forest-gate, and unpack the ponies. They distributed the packages as fairly as they could, though Bilbo thought his lot was wearisomely heavy, and did not at all like the idea of trudging for miles and miles with all that on his back.
“Don’t you worry!” said Thorin. “It will get lighter all too soon. Before long I expect we shall all wish our packs heavier, when the food begins to run short. ”
Then at last they said good-bye to their ponies and turned their heads for home. Off they trotted gaily, seeming very glad to put their tails towards the shadow of Mirkwood. As they went away Bilbo could have sworn that a thing like a bear left the shadow of the trees and shambled off quickly after them.
Now Gandalf too said farewell. Bilbo sat on the ground feeling very unhappy and wishing he was beside the wizard on his tall horse. He had gone just inside the forest after breakfast (a very poor one), and it had seemed as dark in there in the morning as at night, and very secret: “a sort of watching and waiting feeling, ” he said to himself.
“Good-bye (прощайте)!” said Gandalf to Thorin (сказал
“Do we really have to go through (нам что, действительно необходимо идти через /лес/)?” groaned the hobbit (простонал хоббит).
“Yes, you do (да, необходимо)!” said the wizard (сказал волшебник), “if you want to get to the other side (если вы хотите добраться до другой стороны /леса/). You must either go through (вы должны либо пройти его насквозь) or give up your quest (или бросить свои поиски). And I am not going to allow you (и я не позволю вам) to back out now, Mr. Baggins (отступиться сейчас, мистер Бэггинс; to back out — уклоняться от чего-либо, отступать от чего-либо). I am ashamed of you (мне стыдно за вас; ashamed — пристыженный) for thinking of it (что вы подумываете об этом). You have got to look after all these dwarves for me (вы должны присматривать за всеми этими гномами для меня), ” he laughed (засмеялся он).
“No! no!” said Bilbo. “I didn’t mean that (я не это имел в виду). I meant (я имел в виду), is there no way round (нет ли пути в обход)?”
through [ru: ] ashamed ['emd] mean [mi: n] meant [ment]
“Good-bye!” said Gandalf to Thorin. “And good-bye to you all, good-bye! Straight through the forest is your way now. Don’t stray off the track! — if you do, it is a thousand to one you will never find it again and never get out of Mirkwood; and then I don’t suppose I, or any one else, will ever see you again. ”
“Do we really have to go through?” groaned the hobbit.
“Yes, you do!” said the wizard, “if you want to get to the other side. You must either go through or give up your quest. And I am not going to allow you to back out now, Mr. Baggins. I am ashamed of you for thinking of it. You have got to look after all these dwarves for me, ” he laughed.
“No! no!” said Bilbo. “I didn’t mean that. I meant, is there no way round?”
