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

Not that Belladonna Took ever had any adventures (не то чтобы у Белладонны Тук случились какие-нибудь приключения) after she became Mrs. Bungo Baggins (после того, как она стала миссис Банго Бэггинс). Bungo, that was Bilbo’s father (Банго, который был отцом Бильбо), built the most luxurious hobbit-hole for her (построил самую что ни на есть роскошную хоббитовскую нору для нее) (and partly with her money (и частично на ее деньги)) that was to be found (которую можно было обнаружить) either under The Hill (либо под Холмом) or over The Hill (или за Холмом) or across The Water (или по ту сторону Воды), and there they remained to the end of their days (и там они оставались до конца своих дней). Still it is probable (однако, возможно) that Bilbo, her only son (что Бильбо, ее единственный сын), although he looked and behaved (хотя он выглядел и вел себя) exactly like a second edition (совсем как точная копия: «второе издание») of his solid and comfortable father (его солидного и спокойного отца; comfortable—удобный, довольный; спокойный), got something a bit queer (получил что-то чуть-чуть странное) in his makeup (во внешности и характере; make-up — состав, конституция) from the Took side (со стороны семейства Туков), something that only waited for a chance to come out (что-то, что только и ждало шанса, чтобы выйти наружу). The chance never arrived (шанс так никогда и не представился; to arrive — прибывать, приезжать, приходить), until Bilbo Baggins was grown up (до тех пор, пока Бильбо Бэггинс не вырос), being about fifty years old or so (/ему/ было почти пятьдесят лет или около того), and living in the beautiful hobbit-hole (и жил /он/ в прекрасной хоббитовской норе) built by his father (построенной его отцом), which I have just described for you (которую я только что описал для вас), until he had in fact apparently settled down immovably (до тех самых пор, когда он, на самом деле, явно не остепенился: «осел» недвижимо/непоколебимо; to move — двигать).

By some curious chance (по какому-то странному случаю) one morning long ago (однажды утром, давным-давно) in the quiet of the world (в тишине того мира), when there was less noise and more green (когда было меньше шума и больше зелени), and the hobbits were still numerous and prosperous (и хоббиты были все еще многочисленны и процветали), and Bilbo Baggins was standing at his door after breakfast (и Бильбо Бэггинс стоял у своей двери после завтрака) smoking an enormous long wooden pipe (куря чрезвычайно длинную деревянную трубку; enormous — громадный) that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (которая почти достигала до его мохнатых пальцев ног) (neatly brushed (/которые были/ аккуратно причесаны /щеткой/)) — Gandalf came by (зашел Гэндальф).
