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

This had a shingly shore under hanging banks and was walled at the eastern end by a little jutting cape of hard rock. On the shallow shore most of the barrels ran aground, though a few went on to bump against the stony pier. There were people on the look-out on the banks. They quickly poled and pushed all the barrels together into the shallows, and when they had counted them they roped them together and left them till the morning. Poor dwarves! Bilbo was not so badly off now. He slipped from his barrel and waded ashore, and then sneaked along to some huts that he could see near the water’s edge. He no longer thought twice about picking up a supper uninvited if he got the chance, he had been obliged to do it for so long, and he knew only too well what it was to be really hungry, not merely politely interested in the dainties of a well-filled larder. Also he had caught a glimpse of a fire through the trees, and that appealed to him with his dripping and ragged clothes clinging to him cold and clammy.

There is no need to tell you much (нет надобности рассказывать вам много) of his adventures that night (о его приключениях той ночью), for now we are drawing near the end (так как сейчас мы приближаемся к концу) of the eastward journey (путешествия на восток) and coming to the last and greatest adventure (и приступаем к последнему и самому величайшему приключению), so we must hurry on (так что мы должны поспешить). Of course helped by his magic ring (конечно, с помощью своего волшебного кольца) he got on very well at first (он поначалу преуспел; to get (got) on — зд. преуспевать, делать успехи, продвигаться), but he was given away in the end (но его выдали в конце; to give (gave, given) away — отдавать, уступать; /разг. / выдавать, проговориться, подвести) by his wet footsteps (его мокрые следы; footstep — шаг, поступь, отпечаток ноги) and the trail of drippings (и следы стекающей каплями воды; trail — след, хвост, шлейф) that he left (которые он оставлял) wherever he went or sat (куда бы он ни пошел или присел); and also he began to snivel (он также начал шмыгать носом), and wherever he tried to hide (и где бы он ни пытался спрятаться) he was found out (его обнаруживали) by the terrific explosions (по потрясающим взрывам) of his suppressed sneezes (от его подавленных чиханий). Very soon (очень скоро) there was a fine commotion (настоящее беспокойство возникло; fine — прекрасный: внушительный) in the village by the riverside (в деревне на берегу реки); but Bilbo escaped into the woods (но Бильбо сбежал в лес) carrying a loaf (унося с собой каравай хлеба) and a leather bottle of wine (и кожаную бутылку вина) and a pie (и пирог) that did not belong to him (/и все это/ не принадлежало ему). The rest of the night he had to pass wet as he was (остаток ночи он был вынужден провести в мокрой /одежде/: «мокрым, как он был») and far from a fire (и вдалеке от огня), but the bottle helped him to do that (но бутылка помогла ему справиться = сделать это), and he actually dozed a little (и он даже поспал немного) on some dry leaves (на каких-то сухих листьях), even though the year was getting late (даже хотя и наступала осень: «год становился поздним») and the air was chilly (и воздух был прохладным).
