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

This was dreadful talk to listen to (это был ужасный разговор, и его ужасно было слушать), not only because of the brave woodmen (и не только из-за храбрых лесорубов) and their wives and children (и их жен и детей), but also because of the danger (но также и из-за опасности) which now threatened Gandalf and his friends (которая теперь угрожала Гэндальфу и его друзьям). The Wargs were angry and puzzled (Варги были рассержены и сбиты с толку) at finding them here in their very meeting-place (обнаружив их здесь, на самом месте их собраний). They thought they were friends of the woodmen (они подумали, что те были друзьями лесорубов), and were come to spy on them (и пришли, чтобы шпионить за ними), and would take news of their plans down into the valleys (и донести новости об их планах назад, в долины), and then the goblins and the wolves would have to fight a terrible battle (и тогда гоблинам и волкам придется сражаться в ужасной битве) instead of capturing prisoners (вместе того, чтобы захватить пленников) and devouring people (и сожрать людей) waked suddenly from their sleep (разбуженных внезапно ото сна). So the Wargs had no intention of going away (итак, у Варгов не было ни малейшего намерения уйти) and letting the people up the trees escape (и позволить этим людям на деревьях сбежать), at any rate not until morning (в любом случае, до наступления утра). And long before that (и задолго до этого), they said (сказали они), goblin soldiers would be coming down from the mountains (солдаты гоблинов спустятся с гор); and goblins can climb trees (а гоблины могут лазить по деревьям), or cut them down (или срубить их). Now you can understand why Gandalf (теперь вам понятно, почему Гэндальфу), listening to their growling and yelping (слушавшему их рычание и тявканье), began to be dreadfully afraid (стало ужасно страшно), wizard though he was (хотя он и был волшебником), and to feel that they were in a very bad place (и /начал/ чувствовать, что они оказались в очень плохом месте), and had not yet escaped at all (и им еще вовсе не удалось избежать /опасности/).
