ソへパセてセぷケぅ

But suddenly Gollum remembered thieving from nests long ago, and sitting under the river bank teaching his grandmother, teaching his grandmother to suck-"Eggses!" he hissed. "Eggses it is!" Then he asked:

A live without breath,As cold as death;Never thirsty, ever drinking,All in mail never clinking.

丁亥，王僧辩进军招提寺北，侯景帅众万余人、铁骑八百余匹陈于西州之西。陈霸先曰：“我众贼寡，应分其兵势，以强制弱；何故聚其锋锐，令致死于我！”乃命诸将分处置兵。景冲将军王僧志陈，僧志小缩，霸先遣将军安陆徐度将弩手二千横截其后，景兵乃却。霸先与王琳、杜龛等以铁骑乘之，僧辩以大兵继进，景兵败退，据其栅。龛，岸之兄子也。景仪同三司卢晖略守石头城，开北门降，僧辩入据之。景与霸先殊死战，景帅百余骑，弃矟执刀，左右冲陈；陈不动，众遂大溃，诸军逐北至西明门。

He also in his turn thought this was a dreadfully easy one, because he was always thinking of the answer. But he could not remember anything better at the moment, he was so flustered by the egg-question. All the same it was a poser for poor Bilbo, who never had anything to do with the water if he could help it.

I imagine you know the answer, of course, or can guess it as easy as winking, since you are sitting comfortably at home and have not the danger of being eaten to disturb your thinking. Bilbo sat and cleared his throat once or twice, but no answer came.

ルビゐ

After a while Gollum began to hiss with pleasure to himself: "Is it nice, my preciousss? Is it juicy? Is it scrumptiously crunchable?" He began to peer at Bilbo out of the darkness.

景至阙下，不敢入台，召王伟责之曰：“尔令我为帝，今日误我！”伟不能对，绕阙而藏。景欲走，伟执鞚谏曰：“自古岂有叛天子邪！宫中卫士，犹足一战，弃此，将欲安之！”景曰：“我昔败贺拔胜，破葛荣，扬名河、朔，渡江平台城，降柳仲礼如反掌；今日天亡我也！”因仰观石阙，叹息久之。以皮囊盛其江东所生二子，挂之鞍后，与房世贵等百余骑东走，欲就谢答仁于吴。侯子鉴、王伟、陈庆奔朱方。

"Half a moment," said the hobbit shivering. "I gave you a good long chance just now."

"It must make haste, haste!" said Gollum, beginning to climb out of his boat on to the shore to get at Bilbo. But when he put his long webby foot in the water, a fish jumped out in a fright and fell on Bilbo's toes.

きじぢ

僧辩命裴之横、杜龛屯杜姥宅，杜崱入据台城。僧辩不戢军士，剽掠居民。男女裸露，自石头至于东城，号泣满道。是夜，军士遗火，焚太极殿及东西堂，宝器、羽仪、辇辂无遗。

戊子，僧辩命侯瑱等帅精甲五千追景。王克、元罗等帅台内旧臣迎僧辩于道，僧辩劳克曰：“甚苦，事夷狄之君。”克不能对。又问：“玺绂何在？”克良久曰：“赵平原持去。”僧辩曰：“王氏百世卿族，一朝而坠。”僧辩迎太宗梓宫升朝堂，帅百官哭踊如礼。

"Ugh!" he said, "it is cold and clammy!"-and so he guessed. "Fish! Fish!" he cried. "It is fish!"

Gollum was dreadfully disappointed; but Bilbo asked another riddle as quick as ever be could, so that Gollum had to get back into his boat and think.

己丑，僧辩等上表劝进，且迎都建业。湘东王答曰：“淮海长鲸，虽云授首；襄阳短狐，未全革面。太平玉烛，尔乃议之。”

No-legs lay on one-leg, two-legs sat near on three-legs, four-legs got some.

It was not really the right time for this riddle, but Bilbo was in a hurry. Gollum might have had some trouble guessing it, if he had asked it at another time. As it was, talking of fish, "no-legs" was not so very difficult, and after that the rest was easy. "Fish on a little table, man at table sitting on a stool, the cat has the bones"-that of course is the answer, and Gollum soon gave it. Then he thought the time had come to ask something hard and horrible. This is what he said:

シゟめゑわべでぽビ

庚寅，南兖州刺史郭元建，秦郡戍主郭正买，阳平戍主鲁伯和，行南徐州事郭子仲，并据城降。

僧辩之发江陵也，启湘东王曰：“平贼之后，嗣君万福，未审何以为礼？”王曰：“六门之内，自极兵威。”僧辩曰：“讨贼之谋，臣为己任，成济之事，请别举人。”王乃密谕宣猛将军朱买臣，使为之所。及景败，太宗已殂，豫章王栋及二弟桥、樛相扶出于密室，逢杜崱于道，为去其锁。二弟曰：“今日始免横死矣！”栋曰：“倚伏难知，吾犹有惧！”辛卯，遇朱买臣，呼之就船共饮，未竟，并沈于水。

This thing all things devours:Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;Gnaws iron, bites steel;Grinds hard stones to meal;Slays king, ruins town,And beats high mountain dl;

僧辩遣陈霸先将兵向广陵受郭元建等降，又遣使者往安慰之。诸将多私使别索马仗，会侯子鉴渡江至广陵，谓元建等曰：“我曹，梁之深雠，何颜复见其主！不若投北，可得还乡。”遂皆降齐。霸先至欧阳，齐行台辛术已据广陵。

Slays king, ruins town,in the dark thinking of all the horrible names of all the giants and ogres he had ever heard told of in tales, but not one of them had done all these things. He had a feeling that the answer was quite different and that he ought to know it, but he could not think of it. He began to get frightened, and that is bad for thinking.

ヱヶェブわゖ

王伟与侯子鉴相失，直渎戍主黄公喜获之，送建康。王僧辩问曰：“卿为贼相，不能死节，而求活草间邪？”伟曰：“废兴，命也。使汉帝早从伟言，明公岂有今日！”尚书左丞虞隲尝为伟所辱，乃唾其面。伟曰：“君不读书，不足与语。”隲惭而退。僧辩命罗州刺史徐嗣徽镇朱方。

壬辰，侯景至晋陵，得田迁余兵，因驱掠居民，东趋吴郡。

Gollum began to get out of his boat. He flapped into the water and paddled to the bank; Bilbo could see his eyes coming towards him. His tongue seemed to stick in his mouth; he wanted to shout out: "Give me more time! Give me time!" But all that came out with a sudden squeal was:

"Time! Time!"

Bilbo was saved by pure luck. For that of course was the answer.

Gollum was disappointed once more; and now he was getting angry, and also tired of the game. It had made him very hungry indeed. This time he did not go back to the boat. He sat down in the dark by Bilbo. That made the hobbit most dreadfully uncomfortable and scattered his wits.

夏，四月，齐主使大都督潘乐与郭元建将兵五万攻阳平，拔之。

"It's got to ask uss a quesstion, my preciouss, yes, yess, yesss. Jusst one more quesstion to guess, yes, yess," said Gollum.

But Bilbo simply could not think of any question with that nasty wet cold thing sitting next to him, and pawing and poking him. He scratched himself, he pinched himself; still he could not think of anything.

わひ

王僧辩启陈霸先镇京口。

益州刺史、太尉武陵王纪，颇有武略，在蜀十七年，南开宁州、越雟，西通资陵、吐谷浑，内修耕桑盐铁之政，外通商贾远方之利，故能殖其财用，器甲殷积，有马八千匹。闻侯景陷台城，湘东王将讨之，谓僚佐曰：“七官文士，岂能匡济！”内寝柏殿柱绕节生花，纪以为己瑞。乙巳，卽皇帝位，改元天正，立子圆照为皇太子，圆正为西阳王，圆满为竟陵王，圆普为谯王，圆肃为宜都王。以巴西、梓潼二郡太守永丰侯为征西大将军、益州刺史，封秦郡王。司马王僧略、直兵参军徐怦固谏，不从。僧略，僧辩之弟；怦，勉之从子也。

れ゜ヰひヨおゑぢゝ

初，台城之围，怦劝纪速入援，纪意不欲行，内衔之。会蜀人费合告怦反，怦有与将帅书云：“事事往人口具。”纪卽以为反征，谓怦曰：“以卿旧情，当使诸子无恙。”对曰：“生儿悉如殿下，留之何益！”纪乃尽诛之，枭首于市，亦杀王僧略。永丰侯撝叹曰：“王事不成矣！善人，国之基也，今先杀之，不亡何待！”

纪征宜丰侯咨议参军刘璠为中书侍郎，使者八反，乃至。纪令刘孝胜深布腹心，璠苦求还。中记室韦登私谓璠曰：“殿下忍而蓄憾，足下不留，将致大祸，孰若共构大夏，使身名俱美哉！”璠正色曰：“卿欲缓颊于我邪？我与府侯分义已定，岂以夷险易其心乎！殿下方布大义于天下，终不逞志于一夫。”纪知必不为己用，乃厚礼遣之。以宜丰侯循为益州刺史，封随郡王，以璠为循府长史、蜀郡太守。

"Ask us! ask us!" said Gollum.

Bilbo pinched himself and slapped himself; he gripped on his little sword; he even felt in his pocket with his other hand.

谢答仁讨刘神茂还，至富阳，闻侯景败走，帅万人欲北出候之，赵伯超据钱塘拒之。侯景进至嘉兴，闻伯超叛之，乃退据吴。己酉，侯瑱追及景于松江，景犹有船二百艘，众数千人，瑱进击，败之，擒彭隽、田迁、房世贵、蔡寿乐、王伯丑。瑱生剖隽腹，抽其肠，隽犹不死，手自收之，乃斩之。

景与腹心数十人单舸走，推堕二子于水，将入海，瑱遣副将焦僧度追之。景纳羊侃之女为小妻，以其兄鹍为库直都督，待之甚厚；鹍随景东走，与景所亲王元礼、谢葳蕤密图之。葳蕤，答仁之弟也。景下海，欲向蒙山，己卯，景昼寝；鹍语海师：“此中何处有蒙山，汝但听我处分。”遂直向京口。至胡豆洲，景觉，大惊；问岸上人，云“郭元建犹在广陵”，景大憙，将依之。鹍拔刀，叱海师向京口，因谓景曰：“吾等为王効力多矣，今至于此，终无所成，欲就乞头以取富贵。”景未及答，白刃交下。景欲投水，鹍以刀斫之。景走入船中，以佩刀抉船底，鹍以矟刺杀之。尚书右仆射索超世在别船，葳蕤以景命召而执之。南徐州刺史徐嗣徽斩超世，以盐内景腹中，送其尸于建康。僧辩传首江陵，截其手，使谢葳蕤送于齐；暴景尸于市，士民争取食之，并骨皆尽；溧阳公主亦预食焉。初，景之五子在北齐，世宗剥其长子面而烹之，幼者皆下蚕室。齐显祖卽位，梦猕猴坐其御床，乃尽烹之。赵伯超、谢答仁皆降于侯瑱，瑱并田迁等送建康。王僧辩斩房世贵于市，送王伟、吕季略、周石珍、严亶、赵伯超、伏知命于江陵。

There he found the ring he had picked up in the passage and forgotten about.

丁巳，湘东王下令解严。

"What have I got in my pocket?" he said aloud. He was talking to himself, but Gollum thought it was a riddle, and he was frightfully upset.

"Not fair! not fair!" he hissed. "It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in its nassty little pocketses?"

乙丑，葬简文帝于庄陵，庙号太宗。

Bilbo seeing what had happened and having nothing better to ask stuck to his question. "What have I got in my pocket?" he said louder.

ぷじニヹんロぱ

侯景之败也，以传国玺自随，使其侍中兼平原太守赵思贤掌之，曰：“若我死，宜沈于江，勿令吴儿复得之。”思贤自京口济江，遇盗，从者弃之草间，至广陵，以告郭元建。元建取之，以与辛术，壬申，术送之至邺。

"S-s-s-s-s," hissed Gollum. "It must give us three guesseses, my preciouss, three guesseses."

"Very well! Guess away!" said Bilbo.

"Handses!" said Gollum.

"Wrong," said Bilbo, who had luckily just taken his hand

甲申，齐以吏部尚书杨愔为右仆射，以太原公主妻之。公主，卽魏孝静帝之后也。

杨干运至剑北，魏达奚武逆击之，大破干运于白马，陈其俘馘于南郑城下，且遣人辱宜丰侯循。循怒，出兵与战，都督杨绍伏兵击之，杀伤殆尽。刘璠还至白马西，为武所获，送长安。太师泰素闻其名，待之如旧交。时南郑久不下，武请屠之，泰将许之。璠请之于朝，泰怒，不许；璠泣请不已，泰曰：“事人当如是。”乃从其请。

out again. "Guess again!"

卷一六四 梁纪二十（四）

"S-s-s-s-s," said Gollum more upset than ever. He thought of all the things he kept in his own pockets: fishbones, goblins' teeth, wet shells, a bit of bat-wing, a sharp stone to sharpen his fangs on, and other nasty things. He tried to think what other people kept in their pockets.

"Knife!" he said at last.

五月，庚午，司空南平王恪等复劝进，湘东王犹不受，遣侍中丰城侯泰谒山陵，修复庙社。

"Wrong!" said Bilbo, who had lost his some time ago. "Last guess!"

ひむぇそにケえ

戊寅，侯景首至江陵，枭之于市三日，煑而漆之，以付武库。庚辰，以南平王恪为扬州刺史。甲申，以王僧辩为司徒、镇卫将军，封长宁公。陈霸先为征虏将军、开府仪同三司，封长城县侯。

Now Gollum was in a much worse state than when Bilbo had asked him the egg-question. He hissed and spluttered and rocked himself backwards and forwards, and slapped his feet on the floor, and wriggled and squirmed; but still he did not dare to waste his last guess.

"Come on!" said Bilbo. "I am waiting!" He tried to sound bold and cheerful, but he did not feel at all sure how the game was going to end, whether Gollum guessed right or not.

乙酉，诛侯景所署尚书仆射王伟、左民尚书吕季略、少府周石珍、舍人严亶于市。赵伯超、伏知命饿死于狱。以谢答仁不失礼于太宗，特宥之。王伟于狱中上五百言诗，湘东王爱其才，欲宥之；有嫉之者，言于王曰：“前日伟作檄文甚佳。”王求而视之，檄云：“项羽重瞳，尚有乌江之败；湘东一目，宁为赤县所归！”王大怒，钉其舌于柱，剜腹、脔肉而杀之。

"Time's up!" he said.

丙戌，齐合州刺史斛斯昭攻历阳，拔之。

"String, or nothing!" shrieked Gollum, which was not quite fair-working in two guesses at once.

"Both wrong," cried Bilbo very much relieved; and he jumped at once to his feet, put his back to the nearest wall, and held out his little sword. He knew, of course, that the riddle-game was sacred and of immense antiquity, and even wicked creatures were afraid to cheat when they played at it. But he felt he could not trust this slimy thing to keep any promise at a pinch.

ゥぃ

丁亥，下令，以“王伟等旣死，自余衣冠旧贵，被逼偷生，猛士勋豪，和光苟免者，皆不问。”

扶风民鲁悉达，纠合乡人以保新蔡，力田蓄谷。时江东饥乱，饿死者什八九，遗民携老幼归之。悉达分给粮廪，全济甚众，招集晋熙等五郡，尽有其地。使其弟广达将兵从王僧辩讨侯景，景平，以悉达为北江州刺史。

Any excuse would do for him to slide out of it. And after all that last question had not been a genuine riddle according to the ancient laws.

But at any rate Gollum did not at once attack him. He could see the sword in Bilbo's hand. He sat still, shivering and whispering. At last Bilbo could wait no longer.

齐主使其散骑常侍曹文皎等来聘，湘东王使散骑常侍柳晖等报之，且告平侯景；亦遣舍人魏彦告于魏。

"Well?" he said. "What about your promise? I want to go. You must show me the way."

"Did we say so, precious? Show the nassty little Baggins the way out, yes, yes. But what has it got in its pocketses, eh? Not string, precious, but not nothing. Oh no! gollum!"

齐主使潘乐、郭元建将兵围秦郡，行台尚书辛术谏曰：“朝廷与湘东王信使不绝。阳平，侯景之土，取之可也；今王僧辩已遣严超达守秦郡，于义何得复争之！且水潦方降，不如班师。”弗从。陈霸先命别将徐度引兵助秦郡固守。齐众七万，攻之甚急。王僧辩使左卫将军杜崱救之，霸先亦自欧阳来会；与元建大战于士林，大破之，斩首万余级，生擒千余人。元建收余众北遁；犹以通好，不穷追也。

"Never you mind," said Bilbo. "A promise is a promise."

"Cross it is, impatient, precious," hissed Gollum. "But it must wait, yes it must. We can't go up the tunnels so hasty. We must go and get some things first, yes, things to help us."

んノャグヶギまさ

辛术迁吏部尚书。自魏迁邺以后，大选之职，知名者数人，互有得失：齐世宗少年高朗，所弊者疏；袁叔德沈密谨厚，所伤者细；杨愔风流辩给，取士失于浮华。唯术性尚贞明，取士必以才器，循名责实，新旧参举，管库必擢，门阀不遗，考之前后，最为折衷。

魏达奚武遣尚书左丞柳带韦入南郑，说宜丰侯循曰：“足下所固者险，所恃者援，所保者民。今王旅深入，所凭之险不足固也；白马破走，酋豪不进，所望之援不可恃也；长围四合，所部之民不可保也。且足下本朝丧乱，社稷无主，欲谁为为忠乎？岂若转祸为福，使庆流子孙邪！”循乃请降。带韦，庆子之也。开府仪同三司贺兰德愿闻城中食尽，请攻之，大都督赫连达曰：“不战而获城，策之上者，岂可利其子女，贪其货财，而不爱民命乎！且观其士马犹强，城池尚固，攻之纵克，则彼此俱伤；如困兽犹鬬，则成败未可知也。”武曰：“公言是也。”乃受循降，获男女二万口而还，于是剑北皆入于魏。

"Well, hurry up!" said Bilbo, relieved to think of Gollum going away. He thought he was just making an excuse and did not mean to come back. What was Gollum talking about? What useful thing could he keep out on the dark lake? But he was wrong. Gollum did mean to come back. He was angry now and hungry. And he was a miserable wicked creature, and already he had a plan.

Not far away was his island, of which Bilbo knew nothing, and there in his hiding-place he kept a few wretched oddments, and one very beautiful thing, very beautiful, very wonderful. He had a ring, a golden ring, a precious ring.

六月，丁未，齐主还邺；乙卯，复如晋阳。

"My birthday-present!" he whispered to himself, as he had often done in the endless dark days. "That's what we wants now, yes; we wants it!"

He wanted it because it was a ring of power, and if you slipped that ring on your finger, you were invisible; only in the full sunlight could you be seen, and then only by your shadow, and that would be shaky and faint.

庚寅，立安南侯方矩为王太子。

"My birthday-present! It came to me on my birthday, my precious," So he had always said to himself. But who knows how Gollum came by that present, ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said. Gollum used to wear it at first, till it tired him; and then he kept it in a pouch next his skin, till it galled him; and now usually he hid it in a hole in the rock on his island, and was always going back to look at it.

齐遣散骑常侍谢季卿来贺平侯景。

And still sometimes he put it on, when he could not bear to be parted from it any longer, or when he was very, very, hungry, and tired of fish. Then he would creep along dark passages looking for stray goblins. He might even venture into places where the torches were lit and made his eyes blink and smart; for he would be safe. Oh yes, quite safe.

No one would see him, no one would notice him, till he had his fingers on their throat. Only a few hours ago he had worn it, and caught a small goblin-imp. How it squeaked! He still had a bone or two left to gnaw, but he wanted something softer.

うンし゠コヽヒヶ

衡州刺史王怀明作乱，广州刺史萧勃讨平之。

齐政烦赋重，江北之民不乐属齐，其豪杰数请兵于王僧辩，僧辩以与齐通好，皆不许。秋，七月，广陵侨人朱盛等潜聚党数千人，谋袭杀齐刺史温仲邕，遣使求援于陈霸先，云已克其外城。霸先使告僧辩，僧辩曰：“人之情伪，未易可测，若审克外城，亟须应援，如其不尔，无烦进军。”使未报，霸先已济江，僧辩乃命武州刺史杜崱等助之。会盛等谋泄，霸先因进军围广陵。

"Quite safe, yes," he whispered to himself. "It won't see us, will it, my precious? No. It won't see us, and its nassty little sword will be useless, yes quite."

That is what was in his wicked little mind, as he slipped suddenly from Bilbo's side, and flapped back to his boat, and went off into the dark. Bilbo thought he had heard the last of him. Still he waited a while; for he had no idea how to find his way out alone.

八月，魏安康人黄众宝反，攻魏兴，执太守柳桧，进围东梁州。令桧诱说城中，桧不从而死。桧，虬之弟也。太师泰遣王雄与骠骑大将军武川宇文虬讨之。

Suddenly he heard a screech. It sent a shiver down his back. Gollum was cursing and wailing away in the gloom, not very far off by the sound of it. He was on his island, scrabbling here and there, searching and seeking in vain.

"Where is it? Where iss it?" Bilbo heard him crying. "Losst it is, my precious, lost, lost! Curse us and crush us, my precious is lost!"

武陵王纪举兵由外水东下，以永丰侯撝为益州刺史，守成都，使其子宜都王圆肃副之。

"What's the matter?" Bilbo called. "What have you lost?"

"It mustn't ask us," shrieked Gollum. "Not its business, no, gollum! It's losst, gollum, gollum, gollum."

九月，甲戌，司空南平王恪卒。甲申，以王僧辩为扬州刺史。

"Well, so am I," cried Bilbo, "and I want to get unlost. And I won the game, and you promised. So come along! Come and let me out, and then go on with your looking!"

ソーワ゗しゕ

齐主使告王僧辩、陈霸先曰：“请释广陵之围，必归广陵、历阳两城。”霸先引兵还京口，江北之民从霸先济江者万余口。湘东王以霸先为征北大将军、开府仪同三司、南徐州刺史，征霸先世子昌及兄子顼诣江陵，以昌为散骑常侍，顼为领直。

Utterly miserable as Gollum sounded, Bilbo could not find much pity in his heart, and he had a feeling that anything Gollum wanted so much could hardly be something good.

"Come along!" he shouted.

宜丰侯循之降魏也，丞相泰许其南还，久而未遣，从容问刘璠曰：“我于古谁比？”对曰：“璠常以公为汤、武，今日所见，曾桓、文之不如！”泰曰：“我安敢比汤、武，庶几望伊、周，何至不如桓、文！”对曰：“齐桓存三亡国，晋文公不失信于伐原。”语未竟，泰抚掌曰：“我解尔意，欲激我耳。”乃谓循曰：“王欲之荆，为之益？”循请还江陵，泰厚礼遣之。循之文武千家自随，湘东王疑之，遣使觇察，相望于道；始至之夕，命劫窃其财，及旦，循启输马仗，王乃安之，引入，对泣，以循为侍中、骠骑将军、开府仪同三司。

"No, not yet, precious!" Gollum answered. "We must search for it, it's lost, gollum."

冬，十月，齐主自晋阳如离石，自黄栌岭起长城，北至社平戍，四百余里，置三十六戍。

"But you never guessed my last question, and you promised," said Bilbo.

"Never guessed!" said Gollum. Then suddenly out of the gloom came a sharp hiss. "What has it got in its pocketses? Tell us that. It must tell first."

戊申，湘东王执湘州刺史王琳于殿中，杀其副将殷晏。

As far as Bilbo knew, there was no particular reason why he should not tell. Gollum's mind had jumped to a guess quicker than his; naturally, for Gollum had brooded for ages on this one thing, and he was always afraid of its being stolen. But Bilbo was annoyed at the delay. After all, he had won the game, pretty fairly, at a horrible risk. "Answers were to be guessed not given," he said.

琳本会稽兵家，其姊妹皆入王宫，故琳少在王左右。琳好勇，王以为将帅。琳倾身下士，所得赏赐，不以入家。麾下万人，多江、淮羣盗，从王僧辩平侯景，与杜龛功居第一。在建康，恃宠纵暴，僧辩不能禁。僧辩以宫殿之烧，恐得罪，欲以琳塞责，乃密启王，请诛琳。王以琳为湘州，琳自疑及祸，使长史陆纳帅部曲赴湘州，身诣江陵陈谢，谓纳等曰：“吾若不返，子将安之？”咸曰：“请死之。”相泣而别。至江陵，王下琳吏。

"But it wasn't a fair question," said Gollum. "Not a riddle, precious, no."

辛酉，以王子方略为湘州刺史，又以廷尉黄罗汉为长史，使与太舟卿张载至巴陵，先据琳军。载有宠于王，而御下峻刻，荆州人疾之如雠。罗汉等至琳军，陆纳及士卒并哭，不肯受命，执罗汉及载。王遣宦者陈旻往谕之，纳对旻刳载腹，抽肠以系马足，使绕而走，肠尽气绝。又脔割，出其心，向之抃舞，焚其余骨。以黄罗汉清谨而免之。纳与诸将引兵袭湘州，时州中无主，纳遂据之。

"Oh well, if it's a matter of ordinary questions," Bilbo replied, "then I asked one first. What have you lost? Tell me that!"

"What has it got in its pocketses?" The sound came hissing louder and sharper, and as he looked towards it, to his alarm Bilbo now saw two small points of light peering at him. As suspicion grew in Gollum's mind, the light of his eyes burned with a pale flame.

公卿藩镇数劝进于湘东王，十一月，丙子，世祖卽皇帝位于江陵，改元，大赦。是日，帝不升正殿，公卿陪列而已。

"What have you lost?" Bilbo persisted. But now the light in Gollum's eyes had become a green fire, and it was coming swiftly nearer. Gollum was in his boat again, paddling wildly back to the dark shore; and such a rage of loss and suspicion was in his heart that no sword had any more terror for him.

丁丑，以宜丰侯循为湘州刺史。

Bilbo could not guess what had maddened the wretched creature, but he saw that all was up, and that Gollum meant to murder him at any rate. Just in time he turned and ran blindly back up the dark passage down which he had come, keeping close to the wall and feeling it with his left hand.

己卯，立王太子方矩为皇太子，更名元良。皇子方智为晋安王，方略为始安王，方等之子庄为永嘉王。追尊母阮修容为文宣皇后。

"What has it got in its pocketses?" he heard the hiss loud behind him, and the splash as Gollum leapt from his boat.

侯景之乱，州郡太半入魏，自巴陵以下至建康，以长江为限，荆州界北尽武宁，西拒硖口，岭南复为萧勃所据，诏令所行，千里而近，民户着籍，不盈三万而已。

"What have I, I wonder?" he said to himself, as he panted and stumbled along. He put his left hand in his pocket. The ring felt very cold as it quietly slipped on to his groping forefinger.

The hiss was close behind him. He turned now and saw Gollum's eyes like small green lamps coming up the slope. Terrified he tried to run faster, but suddenly he struck his toes on a snag in the floor, and fell flat with his little sword under him.

ユザヤ

陆纳袭击衡州刺史丁道贵于渌口，破之。道贵奔零陵，其众悉降于纳。上闻之，遣使征司徒王僧辩、右卫将军杜崱、平北将军裴之横与宜丰侯循共讨纳，循军巴陵以待之。侯景之乱，零陵人李洪雅据其郡，上卽以为营州刺史。洪雅请讨陆纳，上许之。丁道贵收余众与之俱。纳遣其将吴藏袭击，破之，洪雅等退保空云城，藏引兵围之。顷之，纳请降，求送妻子，上遣陈旻至纳所，纳众皆泣，曰：“王郎被囚，故我曹逃罪于湘州，非有他志也。”乃出妻子付旻。旻至巴陵，循曰：“此诈也，必将袭我。”乃密为之备。纳果夜以轻兵继旻后，约至城下鼓噪。十二月，壬午晨，去巴陵十里，众谓已至，卽鼓噪，军中皆惊。循坐胡床，于垒门望之，纳乘水来攻，矢下如雨，循方食甘蔗，略无惧色，徐部分将士击之，获其一舰；纳退保长沙。

壬午，齐主还邺；戊午，复如晋阳。

In a moment Gollum was on him. But before Bilbo could do anything, recover his breath, pick himself up, or wave his sword, Gollum passed by, taking no notice of him, cursing and whispering as he ran.

What could it mean? Gollum could see in the dark. Bilbo could see the light of his eyes palely shining even from behind.

卷一六五 梁纪二十一（一）

Painfully he got up, and sheathed his sword, which was now glowing faintly again, then very cautiously he followed. There seemed nothing else to do. It was no good crawling back down to Gollum's water. Perhaps if he followed him, Gollum might lead him to some way of escape without meaning to.

"Curse it! curse it! curse it!" hissed Gollum. "Curse the Baggins! It's gone! What has it got in its pocketses? Oh we guess, we guess, my precious. He's found it, yes he must have. My birthday-present."

起昭阳作噩（癸酉），尽阏逢阉茂（甲戌），凡二年。

Bilbo pricked up his ears. He was at last beginning to guess himself. H^ hurried a little, getting as close as he dared behind Gollum, who was still going quickly, not looking back, but turning his head from side to side, as Bilbo could see from the faint glimmer on the walls.

"My birthday-present! Curse it! How did we lose it, my precious? Yes, that's it. When we came this way last, when we twisted that nassty young squeaker. That's it. Curse it! It slipped from us, after all these ages and ages! It's gone, gollum."

ッょヴナぎブゟ

世祖孝元皇帝承圣二年（癸酉，公元五五三年）

春，正月，王僧辩发建康，承制使陈霸先代镇扬州。

Suddenly Gollum sat down and began to weep, a whistling and gurgling sound horrible to listen to. Bilbo halted and flattened himself against the tunnel-wall. After a while Gollum stopped weeping and began to talk. He seemed to be having an argument with himself.

"It's no good going back there to search, no. We doesn't remember all the places we've visited. And it's no use. The Baggins has got it in its pocketses; the nassty noser has found it, we says."

丙子，山胡围齐离石。戊寅，齐主讨之，未至，胡已走，因巡三堆，大猎而归。

"We guesses, precious, only guesses. We can't know till we find the nassty creature and squeezes it. But it doesn't know what the present can do, does it? It'll just keep it in its pocketses. It doesn't know, and it can't go far. It's lost itself, the nassty nosey thing. It doesn't know the way out It said so."

"It said so, yes; but it's tricksy. It doesn't say what it means. It won't say what it's got in its pocketses. It knows. It knows a way in, it must know a way out, yes. It's off to the back-door. To the back-door, that's it."

以吏部尚书王褒为左仆射。

"The goblinses will catch it then. It can't get out that way, precious."

己丑，齐改铸钱，文曰“常平五铢”。

"Ssss, sss, gollum! Goblinses! Yes, but if it's got the present, our precious present, then goblinses will get it, gollum! They'll find it, they'll find out what it does. We shan't ever be safe again, never, gollum! One of the goblinses will put it on, and then no one will see him.

He'll be there but not seen. Not even our clever eyeses will notice him; and he'll come creepsy and tricksy and catch us, gollum, gollum!"

スるも

二月，庚子，李洪雅力屈，以空云城降陆纳。纳囚洪雅，杀丁道贵。纳以沙门宝志诗谶有“十八子”，以为李氏当王，甲辰，推洪雅为主，号大将军，使乘平肩舆，列鼓吹，纳帅众数千，左右翼从。

魏太师泰去丞相、大行台，为都督中外诸军事。

"Then let's stop talking, precious, and make haste. If the Baggins has gone that way, we must go quick and see. Go! Not far now. Make haste!"

With a spring Gollum got up and started shambling off at a great pace. Bilbo hurried after him, still cautiously, though his chief fear now was of tripping on another snag and falling with a noise. His head was in a whirl of hope and wonder.

王雄至东梁州，黄众宝帅众降。太师泰赦之，迁其豪帅于雍州。

It seemed that the ring he had was a magic ring: it made you invisible! He had heard of such things, of course, in old old tales; but it was hard to believe that he really had found one, by accident. Still there it was: Gollum with his bright eyes had passed him by, only a yard to one side.

On they went, Gollum flip-flapping ahead, hissing and cursing; Bilbo behind going as softly as a hobbit can. Soon they came to places where, as Bilbo had noticed on the way down, side-passages opened, this way and that. Gollum began at once to count them.

齐主送柔然可汗铁伐之父登注及兄库提还其国。铁伐寻为契丹所杀，国人立登注为可汗。登注复为其大人阿富提所杀，国人立库提。

"One left, yes. One right, yes. Two right, yes, yes. Two left, yes, yes." And so on and on.

As the count grew he slowed down, and he began to get shaky and weepy; for he was leaving the water further and further behind, and he was getting afraid. Goblins might be about, and he had lost his ring. At last he stopped by a low opening, on their left as they went up.

突厥伊利可汗卒，子科罗立，号乙息记可汗；三月，遣使献马五万于魏。柔然别部又立阿那瓖叔父邓叔子为可汗。乙息记击破邓叔子于沃野北木赖山。乙息记卒，舍其子摄图而立其弟俟斤，号木杆可汗。木杆状貌奇异，性刚勇，多智略，善用兵，邻国畏之。

"Seven right, yes. Six left, yes!" he whispered. "This is it. This is the way to the back-door, yes. Here's the passage!"

えゃぎへキ

上闻武陵王纪东下，使方士画版为纪像，亲钉支体以厌之，又执侯景之俘以报纪。初，纪之举兵，皆太子圆照之谋也。圆照时镇巴东，执留使者，启纪云：“侯景未平，宜急进讨；已闻荆镇为景所破。”纪信之，趣兵东下。

He peered in, and shrank back. "But we durstn't go in, precious, no we durstn't. Goblinses down there. Lots of goblinses. We smells them. Ssss!"

"What shall we do? Curse them and crush them! We must wait here, precious, wait a bit and see."

上甚惧，与魏书曰：“子纠，亲也，请君讨之。”太师泰曰：“取蜀制梁，在兹一举。”诸将咸难之。大将军代人尉迟迥，泰之甥也，独以为可克。泰问以方略，迥曰：“蜀与中国隔绝百有余年，恃其险，不虞我至。若以铁骑兼行袭之，无不克矣。”泰乃遣迥督开府仪同三司原珍等六军，甲士万二千，骑万匹，自散关伐蜀。

So they came to a dead stop. Gollum had brought Bilbo to the way out after all, but Bilbo could not get in! There was Gollum sitting humped up right in the opening, and his eyes gleamed cold in his head, as he swayed it from side to side between his knees.

陆纳遣其将吴藏、潘乌黑、李贤明等下据车轮。王僧辩至巴陵，宜丰侯循让都督于僧辩，僧辩弗受。上乃以僧辩、循为东、西都督。夏，四月，丙申，僧辩军于车轮。

Bilbo crept away from the wall more quietly than a mouse; but Gollum stiffened at once, and sniffed, and his eyes went green. He hissed softly but menacingly. He could not see the hobbit, but now he was on the alert, and he had other senses that the darkness had sharpened: hearing and smell. He seemed to be crouched right down with his flat hands splayed on the floor, and his head thrust out, nose almost to the stone.

Though he was only a black shadow in the gleam of his own eyes, Bilbo could see or feel that he was tense as a bowstring, gathered for a spring.

吐谷浑可汗夸吕，虽通使于魏而寇抄不息，宇文泰将骑三万踰陇，至姑臧，讨之。夸吕惧，请服；旣而复通使于齐。凉州刺史史宁觇知其还，袭之于赤泉，获其仆射乞伏触状。

Bilbo almost stopped breathing, and went stiff himself. He was desperate. He must get away, out of this horrible darkness, while he had any strength left. He must fight. He must stab the foul thing, put its eyes out, kill it. It meant to kill him. No, not a fair fight. He was invisible now. Gollum had no sword.

陆纳夹岸为城，以拒王僧辩。纳士卒皆百战之余，僧辩惮之，不敢轻进，稍作连城以逼之。纳以僧辩为怯，不设备；五月，甲子，僧辩命诸军水陆齐进，急攻之，僧辩亲执旗鼓，宜丰侯循亲受矢石，拔其二城；纳众大败，步走，保长沙。乙丑，僧辩进围之。僧辩坐垄上视筑围垒，吴藏、李贤明帅锐卒千人开门突出，蒙楯直进，趋僧辩。时杜崱、杜龛并侍左右，甲士卫者止百余人，力战拒之。僧辩据胡床不动，裴之横从旁击藏等，藏等败退，贤明死，藏脱走入城。

Gollum had not actually threatened to kill him, or tried to yet. And he was miserable, alone, lost. A sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo's heart: a glimpse of endless unmarked days without light or hope of betterment, hard stone, cold fish, sneaking and whispering.

武陵王纪至巴郡，闻有魏兵，遣前梁州刺史巴西谯淹还军救蜀。初，杨干运求为梁州刺史，纪以为潼州刺史；杨法琛求为黎州刺史，以为沙州：二人皆不悦。干运兄子略说干运曰：“今侯景初平，宜同心戮力，保国宁民，而兄弟寻戈，此自亡之道也。夫木朽不雕，世衰难佐，不如送款关中，可以功名两全。”干运然之，令略将二千人镇剑阁，又遣其壻乐广镇安州，与法琛皆潜通于魏。魏太师泰密赐干运铁券，授骠骑大将军、开府仪同三司、梁州刺史。尉迟迥以开府仪同三司侯吕陵始为前军，至剑阁，略退就乐广，翻城应始，始入据安州。甲戌，迥至涪水，干运以州降。迥分军守之，进袭成都。时成都见兵不满万人，仓库空竭，永丰侯撝婴城自守，迥围之。谯淹遣江州刺史景欣、幽州刺史赵拔扈援成都，迥使原珍等击走之。

All these thoughts passed in a flash of a second. He trembled. And then quite suddenly in another flash, as if lifted by a new strength and resolve, he leaped.

No great leap for a man, but a leap in the dark. Straight over Gollum's head he jumped, seven feet forward and three in the air; indeed, had he known it, he only just missed cracking his skull on the low arch of the passage.

武陵王纪至巴东，闻侯景已平，乃自悔，召太子圆照责之，对曰：“侯景虽平，江陵未服。”纪亦以旣称尊号，不可复为人下，欲遂东进。将卒日夜思归，其江州刺史王开业以为宜还救根本，更思后图；诸将皆以为然。圆照及刘孝胜固言不可，纪从之，宣言于众曰：“敢谏者死！”己丑，纪至西陵，军势甚盛，舳舻翳川。护军陆法和筑二城于峡口两岸，运石填江，铁锁断之。

Gollum threw himself backwards, and grabbed as the hobbit flew over him, but too late: his hands snapped on thin air, and Bilbo, falling fair on his sturdy feet, sped off down the new tunnel. He did not turn to see what Gollum was doing. There was a hissing and cursing almost at his heels at first, then it stopped.

帝拔任约于狱，以为晋安王司马，使助法和拒纪，谓之曰：“汝罪不容诛，我不杀汝，本为今日！”因撤禁兵以配之，仍许妻以庐陵王续之女，使宣猛将军刘棻与之俱。

All at once there came a bloodcurdling shriek, filled with hatred and despair. Gollum was defeated. He dared go no further. He had lost: lost his prey, and lost, too, the only thing he had ever cared for, his precious.
