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

blazing ['blez] tongue [t] miserable ['mz rb l]

A wolf snapped — at his cloak as he swung up, and nearly got him. In a minute there was a whole pack of them yelping all round the tree and leaping up at the trunk, with eyes blazing and tongues hanging out. But even the wild Wargs (for so the evil wolves over the Edge of the Wild were named) cannot climb trees. For a time they were safe. Luckily it was warm and not windy. Trees are not very comfortable to sit in for long at any time; but in the cold and the wind, with wolves all round below waiting for you, they can be perfectly miserable places.

This glade in the ring of trees (эта прогалина в окружении деревьев) was evidently a meeting-place of the wolves (была, очевидно, местом встреч для волков). More and more kept coming in (все больше и больше /волков/ продолжало приходить). They left guards at the foot of the tree (они оставили стражей у основания дерева) in which Dori and Bilbo were (на котором были Дори и Бильбо), and then went sniffling about (и затем отправились, водя носами; to sniffle — сопеть, хлюпать носом) till they had smelt out every tree (пока они не обнаружили по запаху каждое дерево) that had anyone in it (на котором было по /гному/). These they guarded too (у этих /деревьев/ они также выставили охрану), while all the rest (пока все остальные) (hundreds and hundreds it seemed (сотни и сотни, как казалось) went and sat in a great circle in the glade (пошли и уселись в огромный круг на прогалине); and in the middle of the circle (и в середине этого круга) was a great grey wolf (находился огромный серый волк). He spoke to them in the dreadful language of the Wargs (он разговаривал с ними на ужасном языке Варгов). Gandalf understood it (Гэндальф понимал его; to understand). Bilbo did not (Бильбо не понимал), but it sounded terrible to him (но он звучал для него ужасно), and as if all their talk (и /ему казалось/, словно весь их разговор) was about cruel and wicked things (был о жестоких и злобных вещах), as it was (каким он и был). Every now and then (время от времени) all the Wargs in the circle (все Варги, сидевшие в кругу) would answer their grey chief all together (отвечали своему серому вождю все вместе), and their dreadful clamour (и их ужасные крики) almost made the hobbit fall out of his pine-tree (почти что свалили хоббита с сосны).
