“Poor little blighter (ах ты несчастный бедняжка),” said William. He had
already had as much supper (он уже съел так много на ужин) as he could hold
(как только мог выдержать/удержать); also he had had lots of beer (также он
выпил много пива). “Poor little blighter (несчастный бедняжка)! Let him go
(отпустите его)!”
“Not till he says (нет, пока он не скажет) what he means (что он имел в виду)
by lots (под "кучи") and none at all (и "совсем никого"),” said Bert. “I don’t
want to have me throat cut (я не хочу, чтобы мне горло перерезали) in me sleep
(во сне; in me sleep = in my sleep). Hold his toes in the fire (буду держать его
ноги в огне), till he talks (пока он не заговорит)!”
“I won’t have it (я этого не потерплю),” said William. “I caught him anyway
(это я его поймал, в любом случае).”
“You’re a fat fool, William (ты жирный дурак, Вильям),” said Bert, “as I’ve
said afore this evening (как я уже сказал раньше этим вечером).”
“And you’re a lout (а ты — деревенщина; lout — неуклюжий, нескладный,
неотесанный, невоспитанный человек, деревенщина)!”
“And I won’t take that from you (я не потерплю этого от тебя), Bill Huggins
(Билл Хаггинс),” says Bert (говорит Берт), and puts his fist in William’s eye (и
бьет/заехал своим кулаком в глаз Вильяму).

Then there was a gorgeous row (и тогда случилась великолепная шумная
драка). Bilbo had just enough wits left (у Бильбо осталось как раз достаточно
ума), when Bert dropped him on the ground (когда Берт уронил его на землю),
to scramble out of the way of their feet (выкарабкаться с их пути из-под их ног),
before they were fighting like dogs (до того, как они стали драться, как собаки),
and calling one another (и обзывать друг друга) all sorts of perfectly true and
applicable names (всякого рода совершенно правдивыми и подходящими
именами) in very loud voices (очень громкими голосами). Soon they were
locked in one another’s arms (вскоре они сцепились в объятиях друг друга; to
lock — запирать на замок, сжимать), and rolling nearly into the fire (и
катались /по земле, закатываясь/ почти что в костер) kicking and thumping
(брыкаясь и дубася /друг друга/), while Tom whacked at then both with a branch
(пока Том бил их обоих веткой) to bring them to their senses (чтобы привести
их в чувства) and that of course (и это, конечно же) only made them madder than
ever (только сделало их еще более бешенными, чем раньше: «когда либо»).

That would have been the time for Bilbo to have left (это было как раз самое
время для Бильбо, чтобы уйти). But his poor little feet (но его бедные

маленькие ножки) had been very squashed (были сильно расплющены) in
Bert’s big paw (в огромной лапище Берта), and he had no breath in his body (и
он совершенно не дышал: «у него в теле не было дыхания»), and his head was
going round (и его голова кружилась); so there he lay for a while panting (и так
лежал он там какое-то время, задыхаясь), just outside the circle of firelight (как
раз за пределами круга света, исходящего от костра).
Right in the middle of the fight (как раз в середине драки) up came Balin
(подошел Балин). The dwarves had heard noises (гномы слышали звуки) from a
distance (издалека; distance — расстояние), and after waiting for some time (и
после ожидания в течение какого-то времени) for Bilbo to come back (что
Бильбо возвратится), or to hoot like an owl (или ухнет как филин), they started
off one by one (они начали, один за другим) to creep towards the light (ползти
по направлению к свету) as quietly as they could (так тихо, как только они
могли). No sooner did Tom see (как только Том увидел) Balin come into the
light (как Балин выходит на свет /костра/) than he gave an awful howl (как он
издал ужасный вопль). Trolls simply detest (тролли просто-таки ненавидят) the
very sight of dwarves (сам вид гномов) (uncooked (неприготовленных)). Bert
and Bill stopped fighting immediately (Берт и Билл немедленно прекратили
драться), and “a sack, Tom, quick!” they said (и они сказали: «Том, мешок,
быстрей»), before Balin (до того, как Балин), who was wondering (который все
размышлял) where in all this commotion Bilbo was (где, во всем этом
беспорядке, был Бильбо), knew what was happening (понял что происходит), a
sack was over his head (мешок оказался на его голове), and he was down (и он
оказался на земле: «внизу»).

The circle of firelight. Right in the middle of the fight up came Balin. The
Dwarves had heard noises from a distance, and after waiting for some time for
Bilbo to come back, or to hoot like an owl, they started off one by one to creep
Towards the light as quietly as they could. No sooner did Tom see Balin come
Into the light than he gave an awful howl. Trolls simply detest the very sight of
dwarves (uncooked). Bert and Bill stopped fighting immediately, and “a sack,
Tom, quick!” they said, before Balin, who was wondering where in all this
Commotion Bilbo was, knew what was happening, a sack was over his head,
And he was down.
“There’s more to come yet (еще больше сейчас появятся),” said Tom, “or I’m
mighty mistook (или я чрезвычайно ошибаюсь). Lots and none at all (кучи и
совсем никого), it is (вот это оно и есть),” said he (сказал он). “No burrahobbits
(никаких взлохоббитов), but lots of these here dwarves (но кучи этих вот
гномов). That’s about the shape of it (вот примерно так /следует это понимать/;
shape — форма, очертание, порядок)!”
“I reckon you’re right (я считаю, что ты прав),” said Bert, “and we’d best get
out of the light (и нам лучше бы убраться со света).”
And so they did (и так они и сделали). With sacks in their hands (с мешками в
руках), that they used for carrying off mutton (которые они использовали для
переноски баранины) and other plunder (и другого награбленного), they waited
in the shadows (они ожидали в полумраке). As each dwarf came up (как каждый
из гномов появлялся) and looked at the fire (и смотрел на огонь), and the spilled
jugs (и пролитые кружки), and the gnawed mutton (и надкусанную баранину),
in surprise (удивленно), pop (бац)! went a nasty smelly sack over his head
(оказывался противный вонючий мешок на его голове; to go (went, gone) —
идти, направляться, следовать), and he was down (и он оказывался на земле).
Soon Dwalin lay by Balin (вскоре Двалин лежал рядом с Балином), and Fili and
Kili together (и Фили с Кили вместе), and Dori and Nori and Ori all in a heap (и
Дори и Нори и Ори, все в куче), and Oin and Gloin (и Ойн и Глойн) and Bifur

and Bofur and Bombur (и Бифур, и Бофур, и Бомбур) piled uncomfortably near
the fire (были свалены в кучу, очень неудобно, рядом с костром).

“There’s more to come yet,” said Tom, “or I’m mighty mistook. Lots and

That’s about the shape of it!”
“I reckon you’re right,” said Bert, “and we’d best get out of the light.”
And so they did. With sacks in their hands, that they used for carrying off

“That’ll teach ‘em (это научит их),” said Tom; for Bifur and Bombur had given
a lot of trouble (так как Бифур и Бомбур доставили много проблем), and fought
like mad (и сражались как сумасшедшие), as dwarves will when cornered (как
/все/ гномы будут /драться/, когда они загнаны в угол; corner — угол). Thorin
came last (Торин пришел последним) and he was not caught unawares (и его не
застали врасплох; to catch (caught) — поймать, схватить). He came expecting
mischief (он шел, ожидая подвоха), and didn’t need to see his friends’ legs (и
ему не надо было увидеть ноги своих друзей) sticking out of sacks (торчащие
из мешков) to tell him (чтобы понять: «чтобы /они/ сказали ему») that things
were not all well (что дела были не совсем благополучны). He stood outside (он
остановился не приближаясь; outside — с наружной стороны) in the shadows
(в полумраке) some way off (немного поодаль), and said (и произнес): “What’s
all this trouble (что это здесь происходит; trouble — беспокойство,

“It’s trolls (это тролли)!” said Bilbo from behind a tree (сказал Бильбо из-за
дерева). They had forgotten all about him (они совершенно о нем забыли).
“They’re hiding in the bushes (они прячутся в кустах) with sacks (с мешками),”
said he (сказал он). “O! are they (о, они прячутся)?” said Thorin, and he jumped
forward to the fire (и прыгнул вперед, к огню), before they could leap on him
(прежде, чем они смогли прыгнуть на него). He caught up a big branch (он
схватил большую ветку) all on fire at one end (всю охваченную огнем с одного
конца); and Bert got that end in his eye (и Берт получил этим концом в глаз)
before he could step aside (прежде, чем он смог отступить в сторону). That put
him out of the battle for a bit (это вывело его из битвы на какое-то время).

толстая, как ствол молодого деревца) but he was sent spinning up (но был
отброшен ударом; to spin — прясть; крутить, вертеть, описывать круги)
into the top of some bushes (на верхушку каких-то кустов), when Tom kicked
the sparks up in Thorin’s face (когда Том швырнул ногой искры от костра в
лицо Торина). Tom got the branch in his teeth for that (Том получил веткой в
зуб за это), and lost one of the front ones (и лишился одного из передних). It
made him howl (от этого он завыл; to make smb. do smth. — заставлять,
вынуждать), I can tell you (могу вам сказать). But just at that moment (но как
раз в этот момент) William came up behind (сзади подошел Вильям) and
popped a sack (и быстро и неожиданно накинул мешок) right over Thorin’s
head (прямо на голову Торина) and down to his toes (и вниз, до его ног). And
so the fight ended (и так вот бой закончился). A nice pickle they were all in now

им поджарить их медленно), or mince them fine (или мелко покрошить их) and
boil them (и сварить их), or just sit on them (или просто сесть на них) one by

It was just then (это было как раз тогда) that Gandalf came back (когда
вернулся Гэндальф). But no one saw him (но никто не увидел его). The trolls
had just decided (тролли только что решили) to roast the dwarves now
(поджарить гномов сейчас же) and eat them later (и съесть их позже) that was
Bert’s idea (это была идея Берта), and after a lot of argument (и после долгих
споров) they had all agreed to it (они все согласились с ней).
“No good roasting ‘em now (ничего хорошего в том, чтобы жарить их
сейчас), it’d take all night (это займет всю ночь),” said a voice (сказал чей-то
голос). Bert thought it was William’s (Берт подумал, что это был голос
Вильяма).
“Don’t start the argument all over again, Bill (не начинай спор заново, Билл).”
he said (сказал он), “or it will take all night (или он займет всю ночь).”
“Who’s a-arguing (кто это спорит)?” said William, who thought it was Bert

“You are (ты),” said Bert.
“You’re a liar (ты лжец),” said William; and so the argument began all over

decided to mince them fine (они решили смолоть их мелко) and boil them (и

“No good boiling ‘em (бесполезно варить их)! We ain’t got no water (у нас и
воды-то нет), and it’s a long way to the well and all (и до колодца очень далеко,
и все такое),” said a voice (сказал какой-то голос). Bert and William thought it
was Tom’s (Берт и Вильям подумали, что это был голос Тома).
“Shut up (заткнись)!” said they (сказали они), “or we’ll never have done (или
мы так никогда не закончим). And yer can fetch the water yerself (и ты можешь
сходить и принести воды сам), if yer say any more (если ты скажешь еще чего-

and went on hotter than ever (и продолжился, еще более жаркий, чем раньше),
until at last they decided (до тех пор, пока наконец они не решили) to sit on the

раздавить их), and boil them next time (и сварить их в следующий раз).

For just at that moment (так как именно в этот момент) the light came over the
hill (/солнечный/ свет появился над холмом), and there was a mighty twitter in
the branches (и ветви деревьев сильно задрожали; mighty — могущественный,
громадный). William never spoke (Вильям ничего не говорил; never —
никогда) for he stood turned to stone (так как он стоял, окаменевший) as he
stooped (в тот момент, когда он наклонился); and Bert and Tom were stuck like
rocks (и Берт, и Том застыли, как скалы) as they looked at him (в тот момент,
когда они смотрели на него). And there they stand to this day (и там они стоят
до сего дня), all alone (совсем одни), unless the birds perch on them (если
только птицы не садятся на них, как на насест); for trolls (так как тролли), as
you probably know (как вы, возможно, знаете), must be underground (должны

are made of (из которого они сделаны), and never move again (и никогда

“Excellent (превосходно)!” said Gandalf (сказал Гэндальф), as he stepped from
behind a tree (делая шаг из-за дерева), and helped Bilbo (и помог Бильбо) to

The next thing was (следующим действием было) to untie the sacks (развязать

“And that’s just what (и это как раз то, что) you wouldn’t have got (вы бы не
смогли получить) of those fellows (у этих ребят) without a struggle (без
борьбы), in any case (в любом случае),” said Gandalf.
“Anyhow you are wasting time now (во всяком случае, сейчас вы попусту

nearly suffocated, and very annoyed: they had not at all enjoyed lying there
Listening to the trolls making plans for roasting them and squashing them and
mincing them. They had to hear Bilbo’s account of what had happened to him
Twice over, before they were satisfied.
“Silly time to go practising pinching and pocket-picking,” said Bombur,
“when what we wanted was fire and food!”
“And that’s just what you wouldn’t have got of those fellows without a
struggle, in any case,” said Gandalf.
“Anyhow you are wasting time now. Don’t you realize that the trolls must
have a cave or a hole dug somewhere near to hide from the sun in? We must
look into it!”

They searched about (они поискали вокруг), and soon found the marks (и
вскоре обнаружили следы) of trolls’ stony boots (от каменистых ботинок
троллей) going away through the trees (уходящие через деревья). They followed
the tracks up the hill (они пошли по следам вверх по холму), until hidden by
bushes (до тех пор, пока скрытые кустами) they came on a big door of stone
(они не вышли на большую дверь из камня) leading to a cave (ведущую в
пещеру). But they could not open it (но они не могли открыть ее), not though
they all pushed (не смогли, хотя они все толкали /ее/) while Gandalf tried
various incantations (в то время как Гэндальф пробовал различные
заклинания).
“Would this be any good (а это может быть как-то полезно)?” asked Bilbo
(спросил Бильбо), when they were getting tired and angry (когда все они
становились все более уставшими и сердитыми). “I found it on the ground (я
нашел это на земле) where the trolls had their fight (где у троллей была драка).”
He held out a largish key (он протянул довольно большой ключ), though no
doubt (хотя, без всякого сомнения) William had thought it very small and secret
(Вильям думал что это был очень маленький и секретный /ключик/). It must
have fallen out of his pocket (он, должно быть, выпал из его кармана), very
luckily (к счастью: «очень удачно»), before he was turned to stone (до того, как
он окаменел: «был превращен в камень»).

“Why on earth didn’t you mention it before (почему же, черт возьми, вы не
упомянули об этом раньше; earth — земля, мир)?” they cried (закричали они).
Gandalf grabbed it (Гэндальф поспешно схватил его) and fitted it into the key-
hole (и вставил его в замочную скважину; to fit — соответствовать,
приспосабливать, примерять). Then the stone door (после этого каменная
дверь) swung back with one big push (распахнулась: «качнулась назад» от
одного сильного толчка; big — большой, крупный), and they all went inside (и
они все зашли внутрь). There were bones on the floor (на полу валялись:
«были» кости) and a nasty smell was in the air (и в воздухе стоял: «был»
отвратительный запах); but there was a good deal of food (но там было и
большое количество пищи) jumbled carelessly (небрежно сваленной в кучи) on
shelves (на полках) and on the ground (и на полу), among an untidy litter of
plunder (среди неприбранного беспорядка из награбленного), of all sorts
(всякого рода) from brass buttons (от медных пуговиц) to pots full of gold coins
(до горшков, полных золотых монет) standing in a corner (стоящих в углу).
There were lots of clothes, too (также была там и куча одежды), hanging on the
walls (висящая по стенкам) too small for trolls (слишком маленькая для
троллей), I am afraid they belonged to victims (я боюсь, что она принадлежала
/их/ жертвам) and among them (и среди них) were several swords (было
несколько/целый ряд мечей) of various makes, shapes, and sizes (различных
моделей, форм и размеров). Two caught their eyes particularly (два /меча/
приглянулись им особенно; to catch (caught) — поймать, схватить), because
of their beautiful scabbards (из-за их прекрасных ножен) and jewelled hilts (и
украшенных драгоценными камнями эфесов). Gandalf and Thorin each took
one of these (Гэндальф и Торин каждый взяли по одному из них); and Bilbo
took a knife in a leather sheath (а Бильбо взял нож в кожаном футляре:

«ножнах»). It would have made only a tiny pocket-knife for a troll (для тролля
это был бы только крошечный карманный ножичек), but it was as good as a
short sword for the hobbit (но для хоббита он был, в сущности, коротким
мечом).
