Английский язык с Дж. Р. Р. Толкиеном. Хоббит

“What have you lost (что ты потерял)?” Bilbo persisted (настаивал Бильбо). But now the light in Gollum’s eyes had become a green fire (но теперь, свет в глазах Голлума стал уже зеленым огнем), and it was coming swiftly nearer (и он быстро приближался). Gollum was in his boat again (Голлум снова был в своей лодке), paddling wildly back to the dark shore (гребя дико назад к темному берегу); and such a rage of loss and suspicion was in his heart (и такая ярость потери и подозрения была в его сердце) that no sword had any more terror for him (что никакой меч уже не был таким уже ужасным для него: «не имел ужаса для него»). Bilbo could not guess (Бильбо не мог предположить) what had maddened the wretched creature (что же довело до бешенства это несчастное существо), but he saw that all was up (но он понял: «увидел», что все было кончено), and that Gollum meant to murder him (и что Голлум намеревается убить его) at any rate (в любом случае). Just in time he turned (как раз во время он повернулся) and ran blindly back (и побежал вслепую назад; to run) up the dark passage (вверх по темному проходу) down which he had come (вниз по которому он пришел сюда), keeping close to the wall (держась близко к стене) and feeling it with his left hand (и держался: «трогая» за нее своей левой рукой).

“What has it got in its pocketses (что же у него в кармашках)?” he heard the hiss loud behind him (слышал он громкое шипение за своей спиной), and the splash as Gollum leapt from his boat (и всплеск, когда Голлум выпрыгнул со своей лодки).

“But it wasn’t a fair question, ” said Gollum. “Not a riddle, precious, no. ” “Oh well, if it’s a matter of ordinary questions, ” Bilbo replied, “then I asked one first. What have you lost? Tell me that!”

“What has it got in its pocketses?” The sound came hissing louder and sharper, and as he looked towards it, to his alarm Bilbo now saw two small points of light peering at him. As suspicion grew in Gollum’s mind, the light of his eyes burned with a pale flame.

“What have you lost?” Bilbo persisted. But now the light in Gollum’s eyes had become a green fire, and it was coming swiftly nearer. Gollum was in his boat again, paddling wildly back to the dark shore; and such a rage of loss and suspicion was in his heart that no sword had any more terror for him. Bilbo could not guess what had maddened the wretched creature, but he saw that all was up, and that Gollum meant to murder him at any rate. Just in time he turned and ran blindly back up the dark passage down which he had come, keeping close to the wall and feeling it with his left hand. “What has it got in its pocketses?” he heard the hiss loud behind him, and the splash as Gollum leapt from his boat.

“What have I (что же у меня есть), I wonder (интересно)?” he said to himself (сказал он сам себе), as he panted and stumbled along (пока он пыхтел и спотыкался по пути). He put his left hand in his pocket (он засунул свою левую руку в свой карман). The ring felt very cold (кольцо было: «чувствовалось» очень холодным) as it quietly slipped on to his groping forefinger (когда оно спокойно наделось на его ощупывающий указательный палец).

The hiss was close behind him (шипение было уже совсем близко за его спиной). He turned now (он теперь обернулся) and saw Gollum’s eyes like small green lamps (и увидел, как глаза Голлума, словно маленькие зеленые лампы) coming up the slope (поднимаются вверх по склону). Terrified he tried to run faster (ужаснувшись, он попытался бежать быстрее), but suddenly he struck his toes on a snag in the floor (но внезапно он застрял своими пальцами ног в какой-то дыре на полу; snag — коряга, выступ), and fell flat (у упал плашмя) with his little sword under him (и его маленький меч оказался под ним).
