enclosure [n'kl] gracious ['res] wizard ['wzd] dreadful ['dredf l]
Bilbo heard this — the dwarves were on the rocks just above the enclosure where he was sitting — and “Good Gracious!” he thought, “so that is what they are beginning to think, is it? It is always poor me that has to get them out of their difficulties, at least since the wizard left. Whatever am I going to do? I might have known that something dreadful would happen to me in the end. I don’t think I could bear to see the unhappy valley of Dale again, and as for that steaming gate!!!”
That night he was very miserable (в ту ночь он чувствовал себя: «был» совершенно несчастным) and hardly slept (и едва поспал). Next day the dwarves all went wandering off (на следующий день все гномы разбрелись) in various directions (в разных направлениях); some were exercising the ponies down below (некоторые из них выгуливали пони далеко внизу; to exercise — упражнять (ся), тренировать (ся) ), some were roving about the mountain-side (некоторые бесцельно скитались по склону горы; to rove —
“Perhaps the wizard will suddenly come back today (возможно, волшебник внезапно вернется сегодня), ” he thought (думал он). If he lifted his head (если он поднимал голову) he could see a glimpse of the distant forest (то мог видеть проблеск удаленного леса). As the sun turned west (когда солнце повернуло на запад) there was a gleam of yellow upon its far roof (на его /леса/ дальней стороне крыши /из крон деревьев/ оказался желтый отблеск: «был отблеск желтого цвета»), as if the light caught the last pale leaves (словно свет поймал последние бледные листья). Soon he saw the orange ball of the sun (вскоре он увидел, как оранжевый мяч солнца) sinking towards the level of his eyes (опускается /по направлению к/ уровню его глаз). He went to the opening (он пошел к отверстию) and there pale and faint was a thin new moon above the rim of Earth (и над краем Земли оказался бледный и слабый, молодой месяц: «тонкая новая луна»; rim — ободок, край). At that very moment (в тот самый момент) he heard a sharp crack behind him (он услышал резкий треск позади себя). There on the grey stone (там, на сером камне) in the grass was an enormous thrush (в траве, был огромнейший дрозд), nearly coal black (почти что угольно черный; coal — каменный уголь), its pale yellow breast freckled dark spots (его бледно-желтую грудь покрывали темные пятнышки; to freckle — покрывать веснушками, пятнышками; freckle — веснушка). Crack (щелк)! It had caught a snail (он поймал улитку) and was knocking it on the stone (и стучал/колотил ею о камень). Crack! Crack!
miserable ['mz rb l] various ['ve rs] queer [kw] thrush [r] breast [brest] freckled ['frek ld]
That night he was very miserable and hardly slept. Next day the dwarves all went wandering off in various directions; some were exercising the ponies down below, some were roving about the mountain-side. All day Bilbo sat gloomily in the grassy bay gazing at the stone, or out west through the narrow opening. He had a queer feeling that he was waiting for something.
“Perhaps the wizard will suddenly come back today, ” he thought. If he lifted his head he could see a glimpse of the distant forest. As the sun turned west there was a gleam of yellow upon its far roof, as if the light caught the last pale leaves. Soon he saw the orange ball of the sun sinking towards the level of his eyes. He went to the opening and there pale and faint was a thin new moon above the rim of Earth. At that very moment he heard a sharp crack behind him. There on the grey stone in the grass was an enormous thrush, nearly coal black, its pale yellow breast freckled dark spots. Crack! It had caught a snail and was knocking it on the stone. Crack! Crack!
Suddenly Bilbo understood (внезапно Бильбо понял). Forgetting all danger (забывая о всякой опасности) he stood on the ledge (он стоял на выступе) and hailed the dwarves (и окликнул гномов), shouting and laying (крича и размахивая /руками/; to lay (laid) /about/ — класть, положить; /зд. разг. / махать, размахивать чем-либо). Those that were nearest (те, что были ближе всего) came tumbling over the rocks (прибежали, спотыкаясь о скалы) and as fast as they could (так быстро, как только могли) along the ledge to him (по выступу к нему), wondering what on earth was the matter (недоумевая, в чем же, черт побери, было дело; matter — вещество, материал, сущность; дело, вопрос); the others shouted (другие кричали) to be hauled up the ropes (чтобы их подняли наверх на веревках) (except Bombur, of course: he was asleep (за исключением Бомбура, конечно же: он спал)).

Suddenly Bilbo understood. Forgetting all danger he stood on the ledge and hailed the dwarves, shouting and laying. Those that were nearest came tumbling over the rocks and as fast as they could along the ledge to him, wondering what on earth was the matter; the others shouted to be hauled up the ropes (except Bombur, of course: he was asleep).
Quickly Bilbo explained (Бильбо быстро объяснил). They all fell silent (они все замолчали): the hobbit standing by the grey stone (хоббит, стоя у серого камня), and the dwarves with wagging beards watching impatiently (и гномы, с раскачивающимися бородами, нетерпеливо наблюдая /за ним/). The sun sank lower and lower (солнце опускалось все ниже и ниже), and their hopes fell (и их надежды пропали). It sank into a belt of reddened cloud and disappeared (оно село в полосу красноватых облаков: «облака» и исчезло; belt — пояс, кушак, район; to redden — окрашивать (ся) в красный цвет). The dwarves groaned (гномы застонали), but still Bilbo stood almost without moving (но Бильбо стоял спокойно, почти без движения). The little moon was dipping to the horizon (тонкий месяц: «маленькая луна» склонялся к горизонту; todip — погружать (ся), окунать (ся) ). Evening was coming on (наступал вечер). Then suddenly when their hope was lowest (затем
внезапно, когда их надежда была самой маленькой: «низкой») a red ray of the sun (красный луч солнца) escaped like a finger (ускользнул, словно палец) through a rent in the cloud (сквозь разрыв в облаке; rent — дыра, прореха; разрыв /в облаках/). A gleam of light (луч/проблеск света) came straight through the opening (прошел прямо сквозь отверстие) into the bay (в изгиб горы) and fell on the smooth rock-face (и упал на гладкий склон горы). The old thrush (старый дрозд), who had been watching from a high perch (который наблюдал с высокой жердочки; perch — насест, жердочка, высокое место) with beady eyes (глазами-бусинами; bead — бусина, бисерина, шарик; beady — как бусинки, круглый и блестящий) and head cocked on one side (и с головой, склоненной на одну сторону; to cock — поднимать; cocked — поднятый, загнутый кверху), gave a sudden trill (внезапно издал трель; sudden — внезапный, неожиданный). There was a loud attack (это было громкое нападение; attack — нападение, наступление, атака). A flake of rock split from the wall and fell (осколок скалы откололся от стены и упал; flake — клочок чего-либо, чешуйка, осколок; to split (split) — расщеплять (ся), раскалывать (ся) ). A hole appeared suddenly (внезапно появилась дыра) about three feet from the ground (около трех футов от земли). Quickly, trembling lest the chance should fade (быстро, дрожа, как бы такой шанс не исчез; tofade—вянуть, увядать; постепенноисчезать, расплываться, растворяться), the dwarves rushed to the rock (гномы стремительно подбежали к скале; to rush — бросаться, кидаться) and pushed (и /стали/ толкать) — in vain (все тщетно; vain — тщетный, напрасный).quickly ['kwkl] redden ['redn] disappear [ds'p] horizon [h'raz n]
Quickly Bilbo explained. They all fell silent: the hobbit standing by the grey stone, and the dwarves with wagging beards watching impatiently. The sun sank lower and lower, and their hopes fell. It sank into a belt of reddened cloud and disappeared. The dwarves groaned, but still Bilbo stood almost without moving. The little moon was dipping to the horizon. Evening was coming on. Then suddenly when their hope was lowest a red ray of the sun escaped like a finger through a rent in the cloud. A gleam of light came straight through the opening into the bay and fell on the smooth rock-face. The old thrush, who had been watching from a high perch with beady eyes and head cocked on one side, gave a sudden trill. There was a loud attack. A flake of rock split from the wall and fell. A hole appeared suddenly about three feet from the ground. Quickly, trembling lest the chance should fade, the dwarves rushed to the rock and pushed — in vain.
“The key (ключ)! The key!” cried Bilbo (закричал Бильбо). “Where is Thorin (где же Торин)?” Thorin hurried up (Торин подошел быстрым шагом; tohurryup — торопить (ся), в спешке подходить).
“The key (ключ)!” shouted Bilbo (кричал Бильбо). “The key that went with the map (ключ, что был: «шел» вместе с картой)! Try it now while there is still time (попытайтесь /использовать/ его, пока все еще есть время)!”
Then Thorin stepped up (тогда Торин сделал шаг вперед) and drew the key on its chain (и вытащил ключ на цепочке) from round his neck (со своей шеи: «с вокруг его шеи»). He put it to the hole (он вложил его в дыру/отверстие). It fitted (он подошел) and it turned (и он повернулся)! Snap (щелк)! The gleam went out (луч/блеск пропал), the sun sank (солнце опустилось), the moon was gone (луна ушла), and evening sprang into the sky (и в небе появился закат; to spring (sprang, sprung) — скакать, бросаться; появляться, evening — вечер).
Now they all pushed together (теперь они все вместе толкали), and slowly a part of the rock-wall gave way (и медленно часть скалистой стены поддалась). Long straight cracks appeared and widened (длинные прямые щели появились и расширились; to widen — расширять (ся), распространять (ся) ). A door five feet high and three broad was outlined (наметился контур двери в пять футов вышиной и в три фута шириной; to outline — обвести, нарисовать контур, очертить), and slowly without a sound swung inwards (и медленно, без единого звука, она открылась вовнутрь; to swing (swung) — качать (ся), колебать (ся); поворачиваться). It seemed as if darkness flowed out (казалось, словно сама темнота вытекла наружу; to flow — течь, литься, протекать) like a vapour from the hole in the mountain-side (подобно пару, из отверстия на склоне горы), and deep darkness in which nothing could be seen (и густая темнота, в которой ничего не было видно) lay before their eyes (лежала перед их глазами) mouth leading in and down (вход, ведущий внутрь и вниз; mouth — рот, уста, отверстие; вход в гавань, пещеру).

“The key! The key!” cried Bilbo. “Where is Thorin?” Thorin hurried up.
