happen [ˈhæpǝn] march [mɑ: tʃ] hearth [hɑ: Ɵ]
The poor little hobbit sat down in the hall and put his head in his hands, and wondered what had happened, and what was going to happen, and whether they would all stay to supper. Then the bell rang again louder than ever, and he had to run to the door. It was not four after all, it was FIVE. Another dwarf had come along while he was wondering in the hall. He had hardly turned the knob, before they were all inside, bowing and saying “at your service” one after another. Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, and Gloin were their names; and very soon two purple hoods, a grey hood, a brown hood, and a white hood were hanging on the pegs, and off they marched with their broad hands stuck in their gold and silver belts to join the others. Already it had almost become a throng. Some called for ale, and some for porter, and one for coffee, and all of them for cakes; so the hobbit was kept very busy for a while. A big jug of coffee had just been set in the hearth, the seed-cakes were gone, and the dwarves were starting on a round of buttered scones, when there came a loud knock. Not a ring, but a hard rat-tat on the hobbit’s beautiful green door. Somebody was banging with a stick!
Bilbo rushed along the passage (Бильбо понесся по проходу), very angry (очень сердитый), and altogether bewildered (и одновременно смущенный) and bewuthered (и взволнованный, и взбешенный;
bewildered [bɪˈwɪldǝd] awkward [ˈɔ: kwǝd] jerk [dʒǝ: k]
Bilbo rushed along the passage, very angry, and altogether bewildered and bewuthered — this was the most awkward Wednesday he ever remembered. He pulled open the door with a jerk, and they all fell in, one on top of the other. More dwarves, four more! And there was Gandalf behind, leaning on his staff and laughing. He had made quite a dent on the beautiful door; he had also, by the way, knocked out the secret mark that he had put there the morning before.
“Carefully (осторожнее)! Carefully!” he said (сказал он). “It is not like you, Bilbo (это так на тебя не похоже, Бильбо), to keep friends waiting on the mat (заставлять друзей ждать за дверью;
“At your service (к вашим услугам)!” said Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur standing in a row (сказал Бифур, Бофур и Бомбур, стоя в ряд). Then they hung up two yellow hoods (затем они повесили /на колышки/ два желтых капюшона) and a pale green one (и один светло-зеленый); and also a sky-blue one (а также один небесно-голубой) with a long silver tassel (с длинной серебряной кисточкой). This last belonged to Thorin (этот последний принадлежал Торину), an enormously important dwarf (невероятно важному гному), in fact no other than the great Thorin Oakenshield himself (на самом деле, ни кому другому, как великому Торину Оукеншильду;
carefully [ˈkeǝf (ǝ) lɪ] popgun [ˈpɔpɡʌn] tassel [ˈtæs (ǝ) l] haughty [ˈhɔ: tɪ]
“Carefully! Carefully!” he said. “It is not like you, Bilbo, to keep friends waiting on the mat, and then open the door like a pop-gun! Let me introduce Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and especially Thorin!”
“At your service!” said Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur standing in a row. Then they hung up two yellow hoods and a pale green one; and also a sky-blue one with a long silver tassel. This last belonged to Thorin, an enormously important dwarf, in fact no other than the great Thorin Oakenshield himself, who was not at all pleased at falling flat on Bilbo’s mat with Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur on top of him. For one thing Bombur was immensely fat and heavy. Thorin indeed was very haughty, and said nothing about service; but poor Mr. Baggins said he was sorry so many times, that at last he grunted “pray don’t mention it, ” and stopped frowning.
“Now we are all here (теперь мы все здесь)!” said Gandalf (сказал Гэндальф), looking at the row of thirteen hoods (смотря на ряд из тринадцати капюшонов) — the best detachable party hoods (самых лучших отстежных капюшонов для хождения в гости;
“Quite a merry gathering (очень веселое собрание)! I hope there is something left (я надеюсь, что что-нибудь осталось) for the late-comers (для опоздавших: «поздно пришедших») to eat and drink (покушать и выпить)! What’s that (что это)? Tea (чай)! No thank you (нет уж, спасибо)! A little red wine, I think, for me (мне: «для меня» немного красного вина, я думаю). ”
“And for me (и мне), ” said Thorin (сказал Торин).
“And raspberry jam and apple-tart (и малинового варенья и яблочного пирога), ” said Bifur.
“And mince-pies (и сладких пирожков с изюмом и миндалем) and cheese (и сыру), ” said Bofur.
“And pork-pie and salad (и пирога со свининой и салату), ” said Bombur.
“And more cakes and ale and coffee (и еще кексов, и светлого пива, и кофе), if you don’t mind (если вы не возражаете), ” called the other dwarves through the door (потребовали: «прокричали» другие гномы через дверь).

“Put on a few eggs (и добавьте еще несколько яиц), there’s a good fellow
(будьте уж так добры: «хорошим человеком»)!” Gandalf called after him (Гэндальф сказал ему вслед), as the hobbit stumped off to the pantries (когда хоббит поковылял к кладовым). “And just bring out the cold chicken and pickles (да и принесли бы холодной курицы и пикулей)!”
“Seems to know (кажется, что знает) as much about the inside of my larders (также много о запасах в моих кладовых;
