"Get on with the work!" growled the butler. "There is nothing in the feeling of weight in an idle toss-pot's arms. These are the ones to go and no others. Do as I say!"
"Very well, very well," they answered rolling the barrels to the opening. "On your head be it, if the king's full buttertubs and his best wine is pushed into the river for the Lake-men to feast on for nothing!"
起屠维大渊献(己亥),尽昭阳单阏(癸卯),凡五年。
Roll-roll-roll-roll,roll-roll-rolling down the hole IHeave ho! Splash plump!Down they go, down they bump!
So they sang as first one barrel and then another rumbled to the dark opening and was pushed over into the cold water some feet below. Some were barrels really empty, some were tubs neatly packed with a dwarf each; but down they all went, one after another, with many a clash and a bump, thudding on top of ones below, smacking into the water, jostling against the walls of the tunnel, knocking into one another, and bobbing away down the current.

It was just at this moment that Bilbo suddenly discovered the weak point in his plan. Most likely you saw it some time ago and have been laughing at him; but I don't suppose you would have done half as well yourselves in his place. Of course he was not in a barrel himself, nor was there anyone to pack him in, even if there had been a chance!
高祖武皇帝天监十八年(己亥,公元五一九年)
It looked as if he would certainly lose his friends this time (nearly all of them had already disappeared through the dark trap-door), and get utterly left behind and have to stay lurking as a permanent burglar in the elf-caves for ever.
For even if he could have escaped through the upper gates at once, he had precious small chance of ever finding the dwarves again. He did not know the way by land to the place where the barrels were collected.

春,正月,甲申,以尚书左仆射袁昂为尚书令,右仆射王暕为左仆射,太子詹事徐勉为右仆射。
丁亥,魏主下诏,称“太后临朝践极,岁将半纪,宣称"诏"以令宇内。”
He wondered what on earth would happen to them without him; for he had not had time to tell the dwarves all that he had learned, or what he had meant to do, once they were out of the wood.
While all these thoughts were passing through his mind, the elves being very merry began to sing a song round the river-door. Some had already gone to haul on the ropes which pulled up the portcullis at the water-gate so as to let out the barrels as soon as they were all afloat below.
辛卯,上祀南郊。
Down the swift dark stream you goBack to lands you once did know!Leave the halls and caverns deep,Leave the northern mountains steep,Where the forest wide and dimStoops in shadow grey and grim!Float beyond the world of treesOut into the whispering breeze,Past the rushes, past the reeds,Past the marsh's waving weeds,Through the mist that riseth whiteUp from mere and pool at night!Follow, follow stars that leapUp the heavens cold and steep;Turn when dawn comes over land,Over rapid, over sand,South away! and South away!Seek the sunlight and the day,Back to pasture, back to mead,Where the kine and oxen feed!Back to gardens on the hillsWhere the berry swells and fillsUnder sunlight, under day!South away! and South away!Down the swift dark stream you goBack to lands you once did know!
Now the very last barrel was being rolled to the doors! In despair and not knowing what else to do, poor little Bilbo caught hold of it and was pushed over the edge with it. Down into the water he fell, splash! into the cold dark water with the barrel on top of him.

魏征西将军张彝之子仲瑀上封事,求铨削选格,排抑武人,不使豫清品。于是喧谤盈路,立榜大巷,克期会集,屠害其家;彝父子晏然,不以为意。二月,庚午,羽林、虎贲近千人,相帅至尚书省诟骂,求仲瑀兄左民郎中始均不获,以瓦石击省门;上下慑惧,莫敢禁讨。遂持火掠道中薪蒿,以杖石为兵器,直造其第,曳彝堂下,捶辱极意,焚其第舍。始均踰垣走,复还拜贼,请其父命,贼就殴击,生投之火中。仲瑀重伤走免,彝仅有余息,再宿而死。远近震骇。胡太后收掩羽林、虎贲凶强者八人斩之,其余不复穷治。乙亥,大赦以安之,因令武官得依资入选。识者知魏之将乱矣。
时官员旣少,应选者多,吏部尚书李韶铨注不行,大致怨嗟;更以殿中尚书崔亮为吏部尚书。亮奏为格制,不问士之贤愚,专以停解月日为断,沈滞者皆称其能。亮甥司空咨议刘景安与亮书曰:“殷、周以乡塾贡士,两汉由州郡荐才,魏、晋因循,又置中正,虽未尽美,应什收六七。而朝廷贡才,止求其文,不取其理,察孝廉唯论章句,不及治道,立中正不考才行,空辩氏姓,取士之涂不博,沙汰之理未精。舅属当铨衡,宜改张易调,如何反为停年格以限之,天下士子谁复修厉名行哉!”亮复书曰:“汝所言乃有深致。吾昨为此格,有由而然。古今不同,时宜须异。昔子产铸刑书以救弊,叔向讥之以正法,何异汝以古礼难权宜哉!”洛阳令代人薛琡上书言:“黎元之命,系于长吏,若以选曹唯取年劳,不简能否,义均行鴈,次若贯鱼,执簿呼名,一吏足矣,数人而用,何谓铨衡!”书奏,不报。后因请见,复奏“乞令王公贵臣荐贤以补郡县。”诏公卿议之,事亦寝。其后甄琛等继亮为吏部尚书,利其便己,踵而行之。魏之选举失人,自亮始也。
He came up again spluttering and clinging to the wood like a rat, but for all his efforts he could not scramble on top. Every time he tried, the barrel rolled round and ducked him under again. It was really empty, and floated light as a cork.

Though his ears were full of water, he could hear the elves still singing in the cellar above. Then suddenly the trapdoors fell to with a boom and their voices faded away. He was in the dark tunnel, floating in icy water, all alone-for you cannot count friends that are all packed up in barrels.
ッマぐせめ
夏,四月,丁巳,大赦。
五月,戊戌,魏以任城王澄为司徒,京光王继为司空。
Very soon a grey patch came up in the darkness ahead. He heard the creak of the water-gate being hauled up, and he found that he was in the midst of a bobbing and bumping mass of casks and tubs all pressing together to pass under the arch and get out into the open stream.
He had as much as he could do to prevent himself from being hustled and battered to bits; but at last the jostling crowd began to break up and swing off, one by one, under the stone arch and away.
Then he saw that it would have been no good even if he had managed to get astride his barrel, for there was no room to spare, not even for a hobbit, between its top and the suddenly stooping roof where the gate was.
Out they went under the overhanging branches of the trees on either bank. Bilbo wondered what the dwarves were feeling and whether a lot of water was getting into their tubs. Some of those that bobbed along by him in the gloom seemed pretty low in the water, and he guessed that these had dwarves inside.
魏累世强盛,东夷、西域贡献不绝,又立互市以致南货,至是府库盈溢。胡太后尝幸绢藏,命王公嫔主从行者百余人各自负绢,称力取之,少者不减百余匹。尚书令‖仪同三司李崇、章武王融,负绢过重,颠仆于地,崇伤腰,融损足,太后夺其绢,使空出,时人笑之。融,太洛之子也。侍中崔光止取两匹,太后怪其少;对曰:“臣两手唯堪两匹。”众皆愧之。
"I do hope I put the lids on tight enough!" he thought, but before long he was worrying too much about himself to remember the dwarves.
He managed to keep his head above the water, but he was shivering with the cold, and he wondered if he would die of it before the luck turned, and how much longer he would be able to hang on, and whether he should risk the chance of letting go and trying to swim to the bank.

太后好佛,营建诸寺,无复穷已,令诸州各建五级浮图,民力疲弊。诸王、贵人、宦官、羽林各建寺于洛阳,相高以壮丽。太后数设斋会,施僧物动以万计,赏赐左右无节,所费不赀,而未尝施惠及民。府库渐虚,乃减削百官禄力。任城王澄上表,以为“萧衍常蓄窥觎之志,宜及国家强盛,将士旅力,早图混壹之功。比年以来,公私贫困,宜节省浮费以周急务。”太后虽不能用,常优礼之。
魏自永平以来,营明堂、辟雍,役者多不过千人,有司复借以修寺及供他役,十余年竟不能成。起部郎源子恭上书,以为“废经国之务,资不急之费,宜彻减诸役,早图就功,使祖宗有严配之期,苍生有礼乐之富。”诏从之,然亦不能成也。
The luck turned all right before long: the eddying current carried several barrels close ashore at one point and there for a while they stuck against some hidden root. Then Bilbo took the opportunity of scrambling up the side of his barrel while it was held steady against another.
Up he crawled like a drowned rat, and lay on the top spread out to keep the balance as best he could. The breeze was cold but better than the water, and he hoped he would not suddenly roll off again when they started off once more.
魏人陈仲儒请依京房立准以调八音。有司诘仲儒:“京房律准,今虽有其器,晓之者鲜。仲儒所受何师,出何典籍?”仲儒对言:“性颇爱琴,又尝读司马彪续汉书,见京房准术,成数昞然。遂竭愚思,钻研甚久,颇有所得。夫准者本以代律,取其分数,调校乐器。窃寻调声之体,宫、商宜浊,征、羽宜清。若依公孙崇,止以十二律声,而云还相为宫,清浊悉足。唯黄钟管最长,故以黄钟为宫,则往往相顺。若均之八音,犹须错采众音,配成其美。若以应钟为宫,蕤宾为征,则征浊而宫清,虽有其韵,不成音曲。若以中吕为宫,则十二律中全无所取。今依京房书,中吕为宫,乃以去灭为商,执始为征,然后方韵。而崇乃以中吕为宫,犹用林钟为征,何由可谐!但音声精微,史传简略,旧志准十三弦,隐间九尺,不言须柱以不。又,一寸之内有万九千六百八十三分,微细难明。仲儒私曾考验,准当施柱,但前却柱中,以约准分,则相生之韵已自应合。其中弦粗细,须与琴宫相类,施轸以调声,令与黄钟相合。中弦下依数画六十律清浊之节,其余十二弦须施柱如筝,卽于中弦按尽一周之声,度着十二弦上。然后依相生之法,以次运行,取十二律之商、征。商、征旣定,又依琴五调调声之法以均乐器,然后错采众声以文饰之,若事有乖此,声则不和。且燧人不师资而习火,延寿不束修以变律,故云知之者欲敎而无从,心达者体知而无师,苟有一毫所得,皆关心抱,岂必要经师受然后为奇哉!”尚书萧宝寅奏仲儒学不师受,轻欲制作,不敢依许。事遂寝。
魏中尉东平王匡以论议数为任城王澄所夺,愤恚,复治其故棺,欲奏攻澄。澄因奏匡罪状三十余条,廷尉处以死刑。秋,八月,己未,诏免死,削除官爵,以车骑将军侯刚代领中尉。三公郎中辛雄奏理匡,以为“历奉三朝,骨鲠之迹,朝野具知,故高祖赐名曰匡。先帝旣已容之于前,陛下亦宜宽之于后,若终贬黜,恐杜忠臣之口。”未几,复除匡平州刺史。雄,琛之族孙也。
Before long the barrels broke free again and turned and twisted off down the stream, and out into the main current Then he found it quite as difficult to stick on as he had feared; but he managed it somehow, though it was miserably uncomfortable.
九月,庚寅朔,胡太后游嵩高;癸巳,还宫。
Luckily he was very light, and the barrel was a good big one and being rather leaky had now shipped a small amount of water. All the same it was like trying to ride, without bridle or stirrups, a round-bellied pony that was always thinking of rolling on the grass.
In this way at last Mr. Baggins came to a place where the trees on either hand grew thinner. He could see the paler sky between them. The dark river opened suddenly wide, and there it was joined to the main water of the Forest River flowing down in haste from the king's great doors.
太后从容谓兼中书舍人杨昱曰:“亲姻在外,不称人心,卿有闻,慎勿讳隐!”昱奏扬州刺史李崇五车载货、相州刺史杨钧造银食器饷领军元义。太后召义夫妻,泣而责之。义由是怨昱。昱叔父舒妻,武昌王和之妹也。和卽义之从祖。舒卒,元氏频请别居,昱父椿泣责不听,元氏恨之。会瀛州民刘宣明谋反,事觉,逃亡。义使和及元氏诬告昱藏匿宣明,且云:“昱父定州刺史椿,叔父华州刺史津,并送甲仗三百具,谋为不逞。”义复构成之。遣御杖五百人夜围昱宅,收之,一无所获。太后问其状,昱具对为元氏所怨。太后解昱缚,处和及元氏死刑,旣而义营救之,和直免官,元氏竟不坐。
There was a dim sheet of water no longer overshadowed, and on its sliding surface there were dancing and broken reflections of clouds and of stars.
ニひサ
冬,十二月,癸丑,魏任城文宣王澄卒。
Then the hurrying water of the Forest River swept all the company of casks and tubs away to the north bank, in which it had eaten out a wide bay.
This had a shingly shore under hanging banks and was walled at the eastern end by a little jutting cape of hard rock.
On the shallow shore most of the barrels ran aground, though a few went on to bump against the stony pier.
There were people on the look-out on the banks. They quickly poled and pushed all the barrels together into the shallows, and when they had counted them they roped them together and left them till the morning. Poor dwarves! Bilbo was not so badly off now. He slipped from his barrel and waded ashore, and then sneaked along to some huts that he could see near the water's edge. He no longer thought twice about picking up a supper uninvited if he got the chance, he had been obliged to do it for so long, and he knew only too well what it was to be really hungry, not merely politely interested in the dainties of a well-filled larder. Also he had caught a glimpse of a fire through the trees, and that appealed to him with his dripping and ragged clothes clinging to him cold and clammy.
庚申,魏大赦。
是岁,高句丽王云卒,世子安立。
There is no need to tell you much of his adventures that night, for now we are drawing near the end of the eastward journey and coming to the last and greatest adventure, so we must hurry on.
魏以郎选不精,大加沙汰,唯朱元旭、辛雄、羊深、源子恭及范阳祖莹等八人以才用见留,余皆罢遣。深,祉之子也。
Of course helped by his magic ring he got on very well at first, but he was given away in the end by his wet footsteps and the trail of drippings that he left wherever he went or sat; and also he began to snivel, and wherever he tried to hide he was found out by the terrific explosions of his suppressed sneezes.
Very soon there was a fine commotion in the village by the riverside; but Bilbo escaped into the woods carrying a loaf and a leather bottle of wine and a pie that did not belong to him. The rest of the night he had to pass wet as he was and far from a fire, but the bottle helped him to do that, and he actually dozed a little on some dry leaves, even though the year was getting late and the air was chilly.
武帝普通元年(庚子,公元五二〇年)
He woke again with a specially loud sneeze. It was already grey morning, and there was a merry racket down by the river. They were making up a raft of barrels, and the raft-elves would soon be steering it off down the stream to Lake-town. Bilbo sneezed again.
タトヤ
春,正月,乙亥朔,改元大赦。
He was no longer dripping but he felt cold all over. He scrambled down as fast as his stiff legs would take him and managed just in time to get on to the mass of casks without being noticed in the general bustle.
Luckily there was no sun at the time to cast an awkward shadow, and for a mercy he did not sneeze again for a good while.
丙子,日有食之。
There was a mighty pushing of poles. The elves that were standing in the shallow .water heaved and shoved. The barrels now all lashed together creaked and fretted.
己卯,以临川王宏为太尉、扬州刺史,金紫光禄大夫王份为尚书左仆射。份,奂之弟也。
"This is a heavy load!" some grumbled.
"They float too deep-some of these are never empty. If they had come ashore in the daylight, we might have had a look inside," they said.

"No time now!" cried the raftman. "Shove off!"
And off they went at last, slowly at first, until they had passed the point of rock where other elves stood to fend them off with poles, and then quicker and quicker as they caught the main stream and went sailing away down, down towards the Lake.
高句丽世子安遣使入贡。二月,癸丑,以安为宁东将军、高句丽王,遣使者江法盛授安衣冠剑佩。魏光州兵就海中执之,送洛阳。
They had escaped the dungeons of the king and were through the wood, but whether alive or dead still remains to be seen.
Chapter 10 A Warm Welcome
魏太傅、侍中、清河文献王怿,美风仪,胡太后逼而幸之。然素有才能,辅政多所匡益,好文学,礼敬士人,时望甚重。侍中、领军将军元义在门下,兼总禁兵,恃宠骄恣,志欲无极。怿每裁之以法,义由是怨之。卫将军、仪同三司刘腾,权倾内外,吏部希腾意,奏用腾弟为郡,人资乖越,怿抑而不奏,腾亦怨之。龙骧府长史宋维,弁之子也,怿荐为通直郎,浮薄无行。义许维以富贵,使告司染都尉韩文殊父子谋作乱立怿。怿坐禁止,按验,无反状,得释,维当反坐;义言于太后曰:“今诛维,后有真反者,人莫敢告。”乃黜维为昌平郡守。
The day grew lighter and warmer as they floated along. After a while the river rounded a steep shoulder of land that came down upon their left. Under its rocky feet like an inland cliff the deepest stream had flowed lapping and bubbling. Suddenly the cliff fell away. The shores sank.
义恐怿终为己害,乃与刘腾密谋,使主食中黄门胡定自列云:“怿货定使毒魏主,若己得为帝,许定以富贵。”帝时年十一,信之。秋,七月,丙子,太后在嘉福殿,未御前殿,义奉帝御显阳殿,腾闭永巷门,太后不得出。怿入,遇义于含章殿后,义厉声不听怿入,怿曰:“汝欲反邪!”义曰:“义不反,正欲缚反者耳!”命宗士及直斋执怿衣袂,将入含章东省,使人防守之。腾称诏集公卿议,论怿大逆;众咸畏义,无敢异者,唯仆射新泰文贞公游肇抗言以为不可,终不下署。
The trees ended. Then Bilbo saw a sight: The lands opened wide about him, filled with the waters of the river which broke up and wandered in a hundred winding courses, or halted in marshes and pools dotted with isles on every side: but still a strong water flowed on steadily through the midst.
And far away, its dark head in a torn cloud, there loomed the Mountain! Its nearest neighbours to the North-East and the tumbled land that joined it to them could not be seen. All alone it rose and looked across the marshes to the forest. The Lonely Mountain!
゛クばワほロ
义、腾持公卿议入,俄而得可,夜中杀怿。于是诈为太后诏,自称有疾,还政于帝。幽太后于北宫宣光殿,宫门昼夜长闭,内外断绝,腾自执管钥,帝亦不得省见,裁听传食而巳。太后服膳俱废,不免饥寒,乃叹曰:“养虎得噬,我之谓矣!”又使中常侍贾粲侍帝书,密令防察动止。义遂与太师高阳王雍等同辅政,帝谓义为姨父。义与腾表里擅权,义为外御,腾为内防,常直禁省,共裁刑赏,政无巨细,决于二人,威振内外,百僚重迹。
朝野闻怿死,无不丧气,胡夷为之剺面者数百人。游肇愤邑而卒。
Bilbo had come far and through many adventures to see it, and now he did not like the look of it in the least.
As he listened to the talk of the raftmen and pieced together the scraps of information they let fall, he soon realized that he was very fortunate ever to have seen it at all, even from this distance. Dreary as had been his imprisonment and unpleasant as was his position (to say nothing of the poor dwarves underneath him) still, he had been more lucky than he had guessed.
己卯,江、淮、海并溢。
The talk was all of the trade that came and went on the waterways and the growth of the traffic on the river, as the roads out of the East towards Mirkwood vanished or fell into disuse; and of the bickerings of the Lake-men and the Wood-elves about the upkeep of the Forest River and the care of the banks.
Those lands had changed much since the days when dwarves dwelt in the Mountain, days which most people now remembered only as a very shadowy tradition.
辛卯,魏主加元服,大赦,改元正光。
They had changed even in recent years, and since the last news that Gandalf had had of them. Great floods and rains had swollen the waters that flowed east; and there had been an earthquake or two (which some were inclined to attribute to the dragon-alluding to him chiefly with a curse and an ominous nod in the direction of the Mountain).
The marshes and bogs had spread wider and wider on either side. Paths had vanished, and many a rider and wanderer too, if they had tried to find the lost ways across.
魏相州刺史中山文庄王熙,英之子也,与弟给事黄门侍郎略、司徒祭酒纂,皆为清河王怿所厚,闻怿死,起兵于邺,上表欲诛元义、刘腾,纂亡奔邺。后十日,长史柳元章等帅城人鼓噪而入,杀其左右,执熙、纂并诸子置于高楼。八月,甲寅,元义遣尚书左丞卢同就斩熙于邺街,并其子弟。
The elf-road through the wood which the dwarves had followed on the advice of Beorn now came to a doubtful and little used end at the eastern edge of the forest; only the river offered any longer a safe way from the skirts of Mirkwood in the North to the mountain-shadowed plains beyond, and the river was guarded by the Wood-elves' king.
ゑめアモゼりクル
熙好文学,有风义,名士多与之游,将死,与故知书曰:“吾与弟俱蒙皇太后知遇,兄据大州,弟则入侍,殷勤言色,恩同慈母。今皇太后见废北宫,太傅清河王横受屠酷,主上幼年,独在前殿。君亲如此,无以自安,故帅兵民欲建大义于天下。但智力浅短,旋见囚执,上惭朝廷,下愧相知。本以名义干心,不得不尔,流肠碎首,复何言哉!凡百君子,各敬尔仪,为国为射,善勖名节!”闻者怜之。熙首至洛阳,亲故莫敢视,前骁骑将军刁整独收其尸而藏之。整,雍之孙也。卢同希义意,穷治熙党与,锁济阴内史杨昱赴邺,考讯百日,乃得还任。义以同为黄门侍郎。
So you see Bilbo had come in the end by the only road that was any good.
It might have been some comfort to Mr. Baggins shivering on the barrels, if he had known that news of this had reached Gandalf far away and given him great anxiety, and that he was in fact finishing his other business (which does not come into this tale) and getting ready to come in search of Thorin's company. But Bilbo did not know it.
All he knew was that the river seemed to go on and on and on for ever, and he was hungry, and had a nasty cold in the nose, and did not like the way the Mountain seemed to frown at him and threaten him as it drew ever nearer.
After a while, however, the river took a more southerly course and the Mountain receded again, and at last, late in the day the shores grew rocky, the river gathered all its wandering waters together into a deep and rapid flood, and they swept along at great speed.
元略亡抵故人河内司马始宾,始宾与略缚荻筏夜渡孟津,诣屯留栗法光家,转依西河太守刁双,匿之经年。时购略甚急,略惧,求送出境,双曰:“会有一死,所难遇者为知己死耳,愿不以为虑。”略固求南奔,双乃使从子昌送略渡江,遂来奔,上封略为中山王。双,雍之族孙也。义诬刁整送略,并其子弟收系之,御史王基等力为辩雪,乃得免。
The sun had set when turning with another sweep towards the East the forest-river rushed into the Long Lake. There it had a wide mouth with stony clifflike gates at either side whose feet were piled with shingles. The Long Lake! Bilbo had never imagined that any water that was not the sea could look so big.
甲子,侍中、车骑将军永昌严侯韦叡卒。时上方崇释氏,士民无不从风而靡,独叡自以位居大臣,不欲与俗俯仰,所行略如平日。
It was so wide that the opposite shores looked small and far, but it was so long that its northerly end, which pointed towards the Mountain, could not be seen at all.
Only from the map did Bilbo know that away up there, where the stars of the Wain were already twinkling, the Running River came down into the lake from Dale and with the Forest River filled with deep waters what must once have been a great deep rocky valley.

初,柔然佗汗可汗纳伏名敦之妻候吕陵氏,生伏跋可汁及阿那瓌等六子。伏跋旣立,忽亡其幼子祖惠,求募不能得。有巫地万言祖惠今在天上,我能呼之,乃于大泽中施帐幄,祀天神,祖惠忽在帐中,自云恒在天上。伏跋大喜,号地万为圣女,纳为可贺敦。地万旣挟左道,复有姿色,伏跋敬而爱之,信用其言,干乱国政。如是积岁,祖惠浸长,语其母曰:“我常在地万家,未尝上天,上天者地万敎我也。”其母具以状告伏跋,伏跋曰:“地万能前知未然,勿为谗也!”旣而地万惧,谮祖惠于伏跋而杀之。候吕陵氏遣其大臣具列等绞杀地万;伏跋怒,欲诛具列等。会阿至罗入寇,伏跋击之,兵败而还。候吕陵氏与大臣共杀伏跋,立其弟阿那瓌为可汗。阿那瓌立十日,其族兄示发帅众数万击之,阿那瓌战败,与其弟乙居伐轻骑奔魏。示发杀候吕陵氏及阿那瓌二弟。
At the southern end the doubled waters poured out again over high waterfalls and ran away hurriedly to unknown lands. In the still evening air the noise of the falls could be heard like a distant roar.
魏清河王怿死,汝南王悦了无恨元义之意,以桑落酒候之,尽其私佞。义大喜,冬,十月,乙卯,以悦为侍中、大尉。悦就怿子亶求怿服玩,不时称旨,杖亶百下,几死。
Not far from the mouth of the Forest River was the strange town he heard the elves speak of in the king's cellars.
柔然可汗阿那瓌将至魏,魏主使司空京兆王继、侍中崔光等相次迎之,赐劳甚厚。魏主引见阿那瓌于显阳殿,因置宴,置阿那瓌位于亲王之下。宴将罢,阿那瓌执启立于座后,诏引至御座前,阿那瓌再拜言曰:“臣以家难,轻来诣阙,本国臣民,皆已逃散。陛下恩隆天地,乞兵送还本国,诛翦叛逆,收集亡散,臣当统帅遗民,奉事陛下。言不能尽,别有启陈。”仍以启授中书舍人常景以闻。景,爽之孙也。
It was not built on the shore, though there were a few huts and buildings there, but right out on the surface of the lake, protected from the swirl of the entering river by a promontory of rock which formed a calm bay.
十一月,己亥,魏立阿那瓌为朔方公、蠕蠕王,赐以衣服、轺车。禄恤仪卫,一如亲王。时魏方强盛,于洛水桥南御道东作四馆,道西立四里:有自江南来降者处之金陵馆,三年之后赐宅于归正里;自北夷降者处燕然馆,赐宅于归德里;自东夷降者处扶桑馆,赐宅于慕化里;自西夷降者处崦嵫馆,赐宅于慕义里。及阿那瓌入朝,以燕然馆处之。阿那瓌屡求返国,朝议异同不决,阿那瓌以金百斤赂元义,遂听北归。十二月,壬子,魏敕怀朔都督简锐骑二千护送阿那瓌达境首,观机招纳。若彼迎候,宜赐缯帛车马礼饯而返;如不容受,听还阙庭。其行装资遣,付尚书量给。
A great . bridge made of wood ran out to where on huge piles made of forest trees was built a busy wooden town, not a town of elves but of Men, who still dared to dwell here under the shadow of the distant dragon-mountain.
They still throve on the trade that came up the great river from the South and was carted past the falls to their town; but in the great days of old, when Dale in the North was rich and prosperous, they had been wealthy and powerful, and there had been fleets of boats on the waters, and some were filled with gold and some with warriors in armour, and there had been wars and deeds which were now only a legend. The rotting piles of a greater town could still be seen along the shores when the waters sank in a drought.
辛酉,魏以京兆王继为司徒。
But men remembered little of all that, though some still sang old songs of the dwarf-kings of the Mountain, Thror and Thrain of the race of Durin, and of the coming of the Dragon, and the fall of the lords of Dale. Some sang too that Thror and Thrain would come back one day and gold would flow in rivers through the mountain-gates, and all that land would be filled with new song and new laughter. But this pleasant legend did not much affect their daily business.
魏遗使者刘善明来聘,始复通好。
As soon as the raft of barrels came in sight boats rowed out from the piles of the town, and voices hailed the raft-steerers. Then ropes were cast and oars were pulled, and soon the raft was drawn out of the current of the Forest River and towed away round the high shoulder of rock into the little bay of Lake-town.
武帝普通二年(辛丑,公元五二一年)
There it was moored not far from the shoreward head of the great bridge. Soon men would come up from the South and take some of the casks away, and others they would fill with goods they had brought to be taken back up the stream to the Wood-elves' home.
春,正月,辛巳,上祀南郊。
In the meanwhile the barrels were left afloat while the elves of the raft and the boatmen went to feast in Lake-town.
They would have been surprised, if they could have seen what happened down by the shore, after they had gone and the shades of night had fallen.
置孤独园于建康,以收养穷民。
First of all a barrel was cut loose by Bilbo and pushed to the shore and opened. Groans came from inside, and out crept a most unhappy dwarf. Wet straw was in his draggled beard; he was so sore and stiff, so bruised and buffeted he could hardly stand or stumble through the shallow water to lie groaning on the shore.
He had a famished and a savage look like a dog that has been chained and forgotten in a kennel for a week. It was Thorin, but you could only have told it by his golden chain, and by the colour of his now dirty and tattered sky-blue hood with its tarnished silver tassel. It was some time before he would be even polite to the hobbit.
魏南秦州氐反。
"Well, are you alive or are you dead?" asked Bilbo quite crossly. Perhaps he had forgotten that he had had at least one good meal more than the dwarves, and also the use of his arms and legs, not to speak of a greater allowance of air. "Are you still in prison, or are you free? If you want food, and if you want to go on with this silly adventure- it's yours after all and not mine-you had better slap your arms and rub your legs and try and help me get the others out while there is a chance!"
Thorin of course saw the sense of this, so after a few more groans he got up and helped the hobbit as well as he could. In the darkness floundering in the cold water they had a difficult and very nasty job finding which were the right barrels. Knocking outside and calling only discovered about six dwarves that could answer. They were unpacked and helped ashore where they sat or lay muttering and moaning; they were so soaked and bruised and cramped that they could hardly yet realize their release or be properly thankful for it.
魏发近郡兵万五千人,使怀朔镇将杨钧将之,送柔然可汗阿那瓌返国。尚书左丞张普惠上疏,以为:“蠕蠕久为边患,今兹天降丧乱,荼毒其心,盖欲使之知有道之可乐,革面稽首以奉大魏也。陛下宜安民恭己以悦服其心。阿那瓌束身归命,抚之可也;乃更先自劳扰,兴师郊甸之内,投诸荒裔之外,救累世之勍敌,资天亡之丑虏。臣愚未见其可也。此乃边将贪窃一时之功,不思兵为凶器,王者不得已而用之。况今旱暵方甚,圣慈降膳,乃以万五千人使杨钧为将,欲定蠕蠕,干时而动,其可济乎!脱有颠覆之变,杨钧之肉,其足食乎!宰辅专好小名,不图安危大计,此微臣所以寒心者也。且阿那瓌之不还,负何信义,臣贱不及议,文书所过,不敢不陈。”阿那瓌辞于西堂,诏赐以军器、衣被、杂彩、粮畜,事事优厚,命侍中崔光等劳遣于外郭。
Dwalin and Balin were two of the most unhappy, and it was no good asking them to help. Bifur and Bofur were less knocked about and drier, but they lay down and would do nothing.
Fili and Kili, however, who were young (for dwarves) and had also been packed more neatly with plenty of straw into smaller casks, came out more or less smiling, with only a bruise or two and a stiffness that soon wore off.
阿那瓌之南奔也,其从父兄婆罗门帅众数万入讨示发,破之,示发奔地豆干,地豆干杀之,国人推婆罗门为弥偶可社句可汗。杨钧表称:“柔然已立君长,恐未肯以杀兄之人郊迎其弟。轻往虚返,徒损国威。自非广加兵众,无以送其入北。”二月,魏人使旧尝奉使柔然者牒云具仁往谕婆罗门,使迎阿那瓌。
"I hope I never smell the smell of apples again!" said Fili.
辛丑,上祀明堂。
"My tub was full of it. To smell apples everlastingly when you can scarcely move and are cold and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the wide world now, for hours on end-but not an apple!"
With the willing help of Fili and Kili, Thorin and Bilbo at last discovered the remainder of the company and got them out. Poor fat Bombur was asleep or senseless; Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin and Gloin were waterlogged and seemed only half alive; they all had to be carried one by one and laid helpless on the shore.
マゝヘとゆレゥんと
庚戌,魏使假抚军将军邴虬讨南秦叛氐。
魏元义、刘腾之幽胡太后也,右卫将军奚康生预其谋,义以康生为抚军大将军、河南尹,仍使之领左右。康生子难当娶侍中、左卫将军侯刚女,刚子,义之妹夫也,义以康生通姻,深相委托,三人率多俱宿禁中,时或迭出,以难当为千牛备身。康生性粗武,言气高下,义稍惮之,见于颜色,康生亦微惧不安。
"Well! Here we are!" said Thorin. "And I suppose we ought to thank our stars and Mr. Baggins. I am sure he has a right to expect it, though I wish he could have arranged a more comfortable journey. Still-all very much at your service once more, Mr. Baggins. No doubt we shall feel properly grateful, when we are fed and recovered. In the meanwhile what next?"
"I suggest Lake-town," said Bilbo, "What else is there?" Nothing else could, of course, be suggested; so leaving the others Thorin and Fili and Kili and the hobbit went along the shore to the great bridge. There were guards at the head of it, but they were not keeping very careful watch, for it was so long since there had been any real need. Except for occasional squabbles about river-tolls they were friends with the Wood-elves.
卷一四九 梁纪五(三)
Other folk were far away; and some of the younger people in the town openly doubted the existence of any dragon in the mountain, and laughed at the greybeards and gammers who said that they had seen him flying in the sky in their young days.
That being so it is not surprising that the guards were drinking and laughing by a fire in their hut, and did not hear the noise of the unpacking of the dwarves or the footsteps of the four scouts. Their astonishment was enormous when Thorin Oakenshield stepped in through the door.
甲午,魏主朝太后于西林园,文武侍坐,酒酣迭舞,康生乃为力士儛,及折旋之际,每顾视太后,举手、蹈足、瞋目、颔首,为执杀之势,太后解其意而不敢言。日暮,太后欲携帝宿宣光殿,侯刚曰:“至尊已朝讫,嫔御在南,何必留宿!”康生曰:“至尊陛下之儿,随陛下将东西,更复访谁!”羣臣莫敢应。太后自起援帝臂,下堂而去。康生大呼,唱万岁。帝前入合,左右竞相排,合不得闭。康生夺难当千牛刀,斫直后元思辅,乃得定。帝旣升宣光殿,左右侍臣俱立西阶下。康生乘酒势将出处分,为义所执,锁于门下。光禄勋贾粲绐太后曰:“侍官怀恐不安,陛下宜亲安慰。”太后信之,适下殿,粲卽扶帝出东序,前御显阳殿,闭太后于宣光殿。至晚,义不出,令侍中、黄门、仆射、尚书等十余人就康生所讯其事,处康生斩刑,难当绞刑。义与刚并在内,矫诏决之,康生如奏,难当恕死从流。难当哭辞父,康生慷慨不悲,曰:“我不反死,汝何哭也?”时已昏闇,有司驱康生赴市,斩之;尚食典御奚混与康生同执刀入内,亦坐绞。难当以侯刚壻,得留百余日,竟流安州;久之,义使行台卢同就杀之。以刘腾为司空。八坐、九卿常旦造腾宅,参其颜色,然后赴省府,亦有终日不得见者。公私属请,唯视货多少,舟车之利,山泽之饶,所在榷固,刻剥六镇,交通互市,岁入利息以巨万万计,逼夺邻舍以广其居,远近苦之。
"Who are you and what do you want?" they shouted leaping to their feet and gipping for weapons.
京兆王继自以父子权位太盛,固请以司徒让车骑大将军、仪同三司崔光。夏,四月,庚子,以继为太保,侍中如故;继固辞,不许。壬寅,以崔光为司徒,侍中、祭酒、著作如故。
"Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror King under the Mountain!" said the dwarf in a loud voice, and he looked it, in spite of his torn clothes and draggled hood. The gold gleamed on his neck and waist: his eyes were dark and deep. "I have come back. I wish to see the Master of your town!"
Then there was tremendous excitement. Some of the more foolish ran out of the hut as if they expected the Mountain to go golden in the night and all the waters of the lake to turn yellow right away. The captain of the guard came forward.
ムゟにウゥふ
魏牒云具仁至柔然,婆罗门殊骄慢,无逊避心,责具仁礼敬;具仁不屈,婆罗门乃遣大臣丘升头等将兵二千随具仁迎阿那瓌。五月,具仁还镇,具道其状,阿那瓌惧,不敢进,上表请还洛阳。
辛巳,魏南荆州刺史恒叔兴据所部来降。
"And who are these?" he asked, pointing to Fili and: Kili and Bilbo.
"The sons of my father's daughter," answered Thorin, "Fili and Kili of the race of Durin, and Mr. Baggins who has travelled with us out of the West."
六月,丁卯,义州刺史文僧明、边城太守田守德拥所部降魏,皆蛮酋也。魏以僧明为西豫州刺史,守德为义州刺史。
"If you come in peace lay down your arms!" said the captain.
"We have none," said Thorin, and it was true enough: their knives had been taken from them by the wood-elves, and the great sword Orcrist too. Bilbo had his short sword, hidden as usual, but he said nothing about that. "We have no need of weapons, who return at last to our own as spoken of old. Nor could we fight against so many. Take us to your master!"
癸卯,琬琰殿火,延烧后宫三千间。
"He is at feast," said the captain.
"Then all the more reason for taking us to him," burst in Fili, who was getting impatient at these solemnities. "We are worn and famished after our long road and we have sick comrades. Now make haste and let us have no more words, or your master may have something to say to you."
秋,七月,丁酉,以大匠卿裴邃为信武将军,假节,督众军讨义州,破魏义州刺史封寿于檀公岘,遂围其城;寿请降,复取义州。魏以尚书左丞张普惠为行台,将兵救之,不及。
"Follow me then," said the captain, and with six men about them he led them over the bridge through the gates and into the market-place of the town. This was a wide circle of quiet water surrounded by the tall piles on which were built the greater houses, and by long wooden quays with many steps and ladders going down to the surface of the lake. From one great hall shone many lights and there came the sound of many voices. They passed its doors and stood blinking in the light looking at long tables filled with folk.
おけホゾせモば
以裴邃为豫州刺史,镇合肥。邃欲袭寿阳,阴结寿阳民李瓜花等为内应。邃已勒兵为期日,恐魏觉之,先移扬州云:“魏始于马头置戍,如闻复欲修白捺故城,若尔,便相侵逼,此亦须营欧阳,设交境之备。今板卒已集,唯听信还。”扬州刺史长孙稚谋于僚佐,皆曰:“此无修白捺之意,宜以实报之。”录事参军杨侃曰:“白捺小城,本非形胜;邃好狡数,今集兵遣移,恐有他意。”稚大寤曰:“录事可亟作移报之。”侃报移曰:“彼之纂兵,想别有意,何为妄构白捺!他人有心,予忖度之,勿谓秦无人也。”邃得移,以为魏人已觉,卽散其兵。瓜花等以失期,遂相告发,伏诛者十余家。稚,观之子;侃,播之子。
"I am Thorin son of Thrain son of Thror King under the Mountain! I return!" cried Thorin in a loud voice from the door, before the captain could say anything. All leaped to their feet. The Master of the town sprang from his great chair. But none rose in greater surprise than the raft-men of the elves who were sitting at the lower end of the hall. Pressing forward before the Master's table they cried:
"These are prisoners of our king that have escaped, wandering vagabond dwarves that could not give any good account of themselves, sneaking through the woods and molesting our people!"
初,高车王弥俄突死,其众悉归嚈哒;后数年,嚈哒遣弥俄突弟伊匐帅余众还国。伊匐击柔然可汗婆罗门,大破之,婆罗门帅十部落诣凉州,请降于魏,柔然余众数万相帅迎阿那瓌,阿那瓌表称:“本国大乱,姓姓别居,迭相抄掠。当今北人鹄望待拯,乞依前恩,给臣精兵一万,送臣碛北,抚定荒民。”诏付中书门下博议,凉州刺史袁翻以为:“自国家都洛以来,蠕蠕、高车迭相吞噬。始则蠕蠕授首,旣而高车被擒。今高车自奋于衰微之中,克雪雠耻,诚由种类繁多,终不能相灭。自二虏交鬬,边境无尘,数十年矣,此中国之利也。今蠕蠕两主相继归诚,虽戎狄禽兽,终无纯固之节,然存亡继绝,帝王本务。若弃而不受,则亏我大德;若纳而抚养,则损我资储;或全徙内地,则非直其情不愿,亦恐终为后患,刘、石是也。且蠕蠕尚存,则高车犹有内顾之忧,未暇窥窬上国;若其全灭,则高车跋扈之势,岂易可知!今蠕蠕虽乱而部落犹众,处处棋布,以望旧主,高车虽强,未能尽服也。愚谓蠕蠕二主并宜存之,居阿那瓌于东,处婆罗门于西,分其降民,各有攸属。阿那瓌所居非所经见,不敢臆度;婆罗门请修西海故城以处之。西海在酒泉之北,去高车所居金山千余里,实北虏往来之冲要,土地沃衍,大宜耕稼。宜遣一良将,配以兵仗,监护婆罗门,因令屯田,以省转输之劳。其北则临大碛,野兽所聚,使蠕蠕射猎,彼此相资,足以自固。外以辅蠕蠕之微弱,内亦防高车之畔援,此安边保塞之长计也。若婆罗门能收离聚散,复兴其国者,渐令北转,徙度流沙,则是我之外藩,高车勍敌,西北之虞可以无虑。如其奸回返覆,不过为逋逃之寇,于我何损哉?”朝议是之。
"Is this true?" asked the Master. As a matter of fact he thought it far more likely than the return of the King under the Mountain, if any such person had ever existed.
九月,柔然可汗俟匿伐诣怀朔镇请兵,且迎阿那瓌。俟匿伐,阿那瓌之兄也。冬,十月,录尚书事高阳王雍等奏:“怀朔镇北吐若奚泉,原野平沃,请置阿那瓌于吐若奚泉,婆罗门于故西海郡,令各帅部落,收集离散。阿那瓌所居旣在境外,宜少优遣,婆罗门不得比之。其婆罗门未降以前蠕蠕归化者,悉令州镇部送怀朔镇以付阿那瓌。”诏从之。
"It is true that we were wrongfully waylaid by the Elven-king and imprisoned without cause as we journeyed back to our own land," answered Thorin. "But lock nor bar may hinder the homecoming spoken of old. Nor is this town in the Wood-elves' realm. I speak to the Master of the town of the Men of the lake, not to the raft-men of the king."
Then the Master hesitated and looked from one to the other. The Elvenking was very powerful in those parts and the Master wished for no enmity with him, nor did he think much of old songs, giving his mind to .trade and tolls, to cargoes and gold, to which habit he owed his position. Others were of different mind, however, and quickly the matter was settled without him.
The news had spread from the doors of the hall like fire through all the town. People were shouting inside the hall and outside it.
The quays were thronged with hurrying feet. Some began to sing snatches of old songs concerning the return of the King under the Mountain; that it was Thror's grandson not Thror himself that had come back did not bother them at all. Others took up the song and it rolled loud and high over the lake.
十一月,癸丑,魏侍中、车骑大将军侯刚加仪同三司。
The King beneath the mountains,The King of carven stone,The lord of silver fountainsShall come into his own!
魏以东益、南秦氐皆反,庚辰,以秦州刺史河间王琛为行台以讨之。琛恃刘腾之势,贪暴无所畏忌,大为氐所败。中尉弹奏,会赦,除名,寻复王爵。
His crown shall be upholden,His harp shall be restrung,His halls shall echo goldenTo songs of yore re-sung.
The woods shall wave on mountainsAnd grass beneath the sun;His wealth shall flow in fountainsAnd the rivers golden run.
The streams shall run in gladness,The lakes shall shine and burn,And sorrow fail and sadnessAt the Mountain-king's return!
武帝普通三年(壬寅,公元五二二年)
So they sang, or very like that, only there was a great deal more of it, and there was much shouting as well as the music of harps and of fiddles mixed up with it. Indeed such excitement had not been known in the town in the memory of the oldest grandfather. The Wood-elves themselves began to wonder greatly and even to be afraid.
