Джон Рональд – Английский язык с Дж. Р. Р. Толкиеном. Хоббит (страница 4)
nasty [ˈnɑ: stɪ] disturbing [dɪsˈtǝ: bɪŋ] thumb [Ɵʌm]
“I should think so — in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can’t think what anybody sees in them, ” said our Mr. Baggins, and stuck one thumb behind his braces, and blew out another even bigger smoke — ring. Then he took out his morning letters, and began to read, pretending to take no more notice of the old man. He had decided that he was not quite his sort, and wanted him to go away. But the old man did not move. He stood leaning on his stick and gazing at the hobbit without saying anything, till Bilbo got quite uncomfortable and even a little cross.
“Good morning (доброе утро)!” he said at last (сказал он наконец). “We don’t want any adventures here, thank you (не нужны нам здесь никакие приключения, спасибо)! You might try over The Hill (вы можете попытаться за Холмом) or across The Water (или по ту сторону Воды). ” By this he meant (этим он имел в виду) that the conversation was at an end (что разговор подошел к концу).
“What a lot of things (для какого большого количества ситуаций) you do use
“Not at all (вовсе нет), not at all (ничуть), my dear sir (глубокоуважаемый сэр;
“Yes, yes, my dear sir (да /знаете/, да, глубокоуважаемый сэр) — and I do know your name (и я точно знаю ваше имя), Mr. Bilbo Baggins (мистер Бильбо Бэггинс). And you do know my name (и вы точно знаете мое имя), though you don’t remember that I belong to it (хотя вы и не помните, что оно принадлежит мне: «я принадлежу ему»). I am Gandalf (я — Гэндальф), and Gandalf means me (а Гэндальф это и есть я: «это и значит я»)! To think (подумать только) that I should have lived (что я доживу) to be good-morninged by Belladonna Took’s son (до того, чтобы мне «доброутровствовал»= говорил на разные лады
«Доброе утро» сын Белладонны Тук), as if I was selling buttons at the door (как будто я тут торгую пуговицами у ворот)!”

“Good morning!” he said at last. “We don’t want any adventures here, thank you! You might try over The Hill or across The Water. ” By this he meant that the conversation was at an end.
“What a lot of things you do use
“Not at all, not at all, my dear sir! Let me see, I don’t think I know your name?”
“Yes, yes, my dear sir — and I do know your name, Mr. Bilbo Baggins. And you do know my name, though you don’t remember that I belong to it. I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me! To think that I should have lived to be good — morninged by Belladonna Took’s son, as if I was selling buttons at the door!”
“Gandalf, Gandalf! Good gracious me (Боже правый;
gracious [ˈɡreɪʃǝs] wizard [ˈwɪzǝd] diamond [ˈdaɪǝmǝnd] laburnum [lǝˈbǝ: nǝm]
“Gandalf, Gandalf! Good gracious me! Not the wandering wizard that gave Old Took a pair of magic diamond studs that fastened themselves and never came undone till ordered? Not the fellow who used to tell such wonderful tales at parties, about dragons and goblins and giants and the rescue of princesses and the unexpected luck of widows’ sons? Not the man that used to make such particularly excellent fireworks! I remember those! Old Took used to have them on Midsummer’s Eve. Splendid! They used to go up like great lilies and snapdragons and laburnums of fire and hang in the twilight all evening!”
You have noticed already (вы уже заметили) that Mr. Baggins was not quite so prosy (что мистер Бэггинс не был уж таким прозаичным) as he liked to believe (как ему хотелось верить), also that he was very fond of flowers (а также, что ему очень нравились цветы).
“Dear me (Боже мой)!” he went on (продолжал он). “Not the Gandalf who was responsible (не тот ли самый Гэндальф, благодаря которому;
“Where else should I be (а где же еще я должен быть)?” said the wizard (сказал волшебник). “All the same (тем не менее) I am pleased to find (мне приятно обнаружить) you remember something about me (что вы помните кое-что обо мне). You seem to remember my fireworks kindly (вы, кажется, любезно помните мои фейерверки), at any rate (во всяком случае), land that is not without hope (это значит, что все не так безнадежно: «страна/земля не без надежды»;
climbing [ˈklaɪmɪŋ] shore [ʃɔ: ] firework [ˈfaɪǝwǝ: k]
You have noticed already that Mr. Baggins was not quite so prosy as he liked to believe, also that he was very fond of flowers.
“Dear me!” he went on. “Not the Gandalf who was responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures. Anything from climbing trees to visiting Elves — or sailing in ships, sailing to other shores! Bless me, life used to be quite inter — I mean, you used to upset things badly in these parts once upon a time. I beg your pardon, but I had no idea you were still in business. ”
“Where else should I be?” said the wizard. “All the same I am pleased to find you remember something about me. You seem to remember my fireworks kindly, at any rate, land that is not without hope. Indeed for your old grand-father Took’s sake, and for the sake of poor Belladonna, I will give you what you asked for. ”
“I beg your pardon (прошу прощения), I haven’t asked for anything (я ни о чем не просил)!”
“Yes, you have (да, просили)! Twice now (теперь уже дважды). My pardon (моего прощения). I give it you (я даю его вам). In fact (на самом деле) I will go so far as to send you on this adventure (я даже пойду дальше, и отправлю вас на это приключение). Very amusing for me (очень забавное /приключение/ для меня), very good for you (очень хорошее для вас) and profitable too (и очень прибыльное, к тому же), very likely (очень вероятно), if you ever get over it (если только вы доберетесь до его конца;
“Sorry (извините)! I don’t want any adventures, thank you (я не хочу никаких приключений, благодарю). Not today (не сегодня). Good morning (доброго утра)! But please come to tea (но, будьте добры, заходите к чаю) — any time you like (в любое время, какое вы захотите)! Why not tomorrow (почему бы и не завтра)? Come tomorrow (приходите завтра)! Good-bye (до свидания)!”
