ボみ

"Where is Gandalf?" asked Bilbo, moving off to find something to eat as quick as he could.

"O! out and about somewhere," they told him. But he saw no sign of the wizard all that day until the evening.

是时，代乡旧族，多与泰等连谋，唯于烈无所染涉，帝由是益重之。帝以北方酋长及侍子畏暑，听秋朝洛阳，春还部落，时人谓之“鴈臣”。

Just before sunset he walked into the hall, where the hobbit and the dwarves were having supper, waited on by Beorn's wonderful animals, as they had been all day.

Of Beorn they had seen and heard nothing since the night before, and they were getting puzzled.

ぼのャんるゝゕゖア

"Where is our host, and where have you been all day yourself?" they all cried.

三月，己酉，魏主南至离石。叛胡请降，诏宥之。夏，四月，庚申，至龙门，遣使祀夏禹。癸亥，至蒲坂，祀虞舜。辛未，至长安。

"One question at a time-and none till after supper! I haven't had a bite since breakfast."

At last Gandalf pushed away his plate and jug — he had eaten two whole loaves (with masses of butter and honey and clotted cream) and drunk at least a quart of mead and he took out his pipe. "I will answer the second question first," he said, "-but bless me! this is a splendid place for smoke rings!"

ばゕジるヮ

魏太子恂旣废，颇自悔过。御史中尉李彪密表恂复与左右谋逆，魏主使中书侍郎邢蛮与咸阳王禧，奉诏赍椒酒诣河阳，赐恂死，敛以粗棺、常服，瘗于河阳。

癸未，魏大将军宋明王刘昶卒于彭城，葬以殊礼。

Indeed for a long time they could get nothing more out of him, he was so busy sending smoke-rings dodging round the pillars of the hall, changing them into all sorts of different shapes and colours, and setting them at last chasing one another out of the hole in the roof.

They must have looked very queer from outside, popping out into the air one after another, green, blue, red, silver-grey, yellow, white; big ones, little ones; little ones dodging through big ones and joining into figure-eights, and going off like a flock of birds into the distance.

五月，己丑，魏主东还，泛渭入河。壬辰，遣使祀周文王于丰，武王于镐。六月，庚申，还洛阳。

"I have been picking out bear-tracks," he said at last. "There must have been a regular bears' meeting outside here last night.

I soon saw that Beorn could not have made them all: there were far too many of them, and they were of various sizes too. I should say there were little bears, large bears, ordinary bears, and gigantic big bears, all dancing outside from dark to nearly dawn. They came from almost every direction, except from the west over the river, from the Mountains.

壬戌，魏发冀、定、瀛、相、济五州兵马二十万，将入寇。

魏穆泰之反也，中书监魏郡公穆罴与之通谋，赦后事发，削官爵为民。罴弟司空亮以府事付司马慕容契，上表自劾，魏主优诏不许；亮固请不已，癸亥，听亮逊位。

In that direction only one set of footprints led-none coming, only ones going away from here.

丁卯，魏分六师以定行留。

I followed these as far as the Carrock. There they disappeared into the river, but the water was too deep and strong beyond the rock for me to cross. It is easy enough, as you remember, to get from this bank to the Carrock by the ford, but on the other side is a cliff standing up from a swirling channel.

秋，七月，魏立昭仪冯氏为皇后。后欲母养太子恪；恪母高氏自代如洛阳，暴卒于共县。

戊辰，魏以穆亮为征北大将军、开府仪同三司、冀州刺史。

I had to walk miles before I found a place where the river was wide and shallow enough for me to wade and swim, and then miles back again to pick up the tracks again.

By that time it was too late for me to follow them far.

They went straight off in the direction of the pine-woods on the east side of the Misty Mountains, where we had our pleasant little party with the Wargs the night before last. And now I think I have answered your first question, too," ended Gandalf, and he sat a long while silent.

Bilbo thought he knew what the wizard meant. "What shall we do," he cried, "if he leads all the Wargs and the goblins down here?

八月，丙辰，魏诏中外戒严。

We shall all be caught and killed! I thought you said he was not 9 friend of theirs."

"So I did. And don't be silly! You had better go to bed, your wits are sleepy."

壬戌，魏立皇子愉为京兆王，怿为清河王，怀为广平王。

追尊景皇所生王氏为恭太后。

えパョねゆカ

甲戌，魏讲武于华林园；庚辰，军发洛阳。使吏部尚书任城王澄居守；以御史中丞李彪兼度支尚书，与仆射李冲参治留台事。假彭城王勰中军大将军，勰辞曰：“亲疏并用，古之道也。臣独何人。频烦宠授！昔陈思求而不允，愚臣不请而得，何否泰之相远也！”魏主大笑，执勰手曰：“二曹以才名相忌，吾与汝以道德相亲。”

上遣军主、直合将军胡松助北襄城太守成公期戍赭阳，军主鲍举助西汝南、北义阳二郡太守黄瑶起戍舞阴。

The hobbit felt quite crushed, and as there seemed nothing else to do he did go to bed; and while the dwarves were still singing songs he dropped asleep, still puzzling his little head about Beorn, till he dreamed a dream of hundreds of black bears dancing slow heavy dances round and round in the moonlight in the courtyard.

Then he woke up when everyone else was asleep, and he heard the same scraping, scuffling, snuffling, and growling as before. Next morning they were all wakened by Beorn himself.

魏以氐帅杨灵珍为南梁州刺史。灵珍举州来降，送其母及子于南郑以为质，遣其弟婆罗阿卜珍将步骑万余袭魏武兴王杨集始，杀其二弟集同、集众；集始窘急，请降。九月，丁酉，魏主以河南尹李崇为都督陇右诸军事，将兵数万讨之。

初，魏迁洛阳，荆州刺史薛真度劝魏主先取樊、邓。真度引兵寇南阳，太守房伯玉击败之。魏主怒，以南阳小郡，志必灭之，遂引兵向襄阳；彭城王勰等三十六军前后相继，众号百万，吹唇沸地。辛丑，魏主留诸将攻赭阳，自引兵南下；癸卯，至宛，夜袭其郛，克之。房伯玉婴内城拒守。魏主遣中书舍人孙延景谓伯玉曰：“我今荡壹六合，非如向时冬来春去，不有所克，终不还北。卿此城当我六龙之首，无容不先攻取；远期一年，近止一月。封侯、枭首，事在俯仰，宜善图之！且卿有三罪，今令卿知：卿先事武帝，蒙殊常之宠，不能建忠致命而尽节于其雠，罪一也；顷年薛真度来，卿伤我偏师，罪二也；今鸾辂亲临，不面缚麾下，罪三也。”伯玉遣军副乐稚柔对曰：“承欲攻围，期于必克。卑微常人，得抗大威，真可谓获其死所！外臣蒙武帝采拔，岂敢忘恩！但嗣君失德，主上光绍大宗，非唯副亿兆之深望，抑亦兼武皇之遗敕；是以区区尽节，不敢失坠。往者北师深入，寇扰边民，辄厉将士以修职业。返己而言，不应垂责。”

"So here you all are still!" he said. He picked up the hobbit and laughed: "Not eaten up by Wargs or goblins or wicked bears yet I see"; and he poked Mr. Baggins' waistcoat most disrespectfully.

宛城东南隅沟上有桥，魏主引兵过之。伯玉使勇士数人，衣班衣，戴虎头帽，伏于窦下，突出击之，魏主人马俱惊；召善射者原灵度射之，应弦而毙，乃得免。

"Little bunny is getting nice and fat again on bread and honey," he chuckled. "Come and have some more!"

So they all went to breakfast with him. Beorn was most jolly for a change; indeed he seemed to be in a splendidly good humour and set them all laughing with his funny stories; nor did they have to wonder long where he had been or why he was so nice to them, for he told them himself.

李崇槎山分道，出氐不意，表里袭之；羣氐皆弃杨灵珍散归。灵珍之众减太半，崇进据赤土。灵珍遣从弟建屯龙门，自帅精勇一万屯鹫硖；龙门之北数十里中，伐树塞路；鹫硖之口聚礌石，临崖下之，以拒魏兵。崇命统军慕容拒帅众五千从他路入，夜，袭龙门，破之。崇自攻鹫硖，灵珍连战败走；俘其妻子，遂克武兴。梁州刺史阴广宗、参军郑猷等将兵救灵珍；崇进击，大破之，斩杨婆罗阿卜珍，生擒猷等；灵珍奔还汉中。魏主闻之，喜曰：“使朕无西顾之忧者，李崇也。”以崇为都督梁‖秦二州诸军事、梁州刺史，以安集其地。

He had been over the river and right back up into the mountains-from which you can guess that he could travel quickly, in bear's shape at any rate.

よぢォバセ

 

From the burnt wolf-glade he had soon found out that part of their story was true; but he had found more than that: he had caught a Warg and a goblin wandering in the woods.

卷一四一 齐纪七（二）

From these he had got news: the goblin patrols were still hunting with Wargs for the dwarves, and they were fiercely angry because of the death of the Great Goblin, and also because of the burning of the chief wolf's nose and the death from the wizard's fire of many of his chief servants.

ゆタヺ

丁未，魏主发南阳，留太尉咸阳王禧等攻之。己酉，魏主至新野，新野太守刘思忌拒守。冬，十月，丁巳，魏军攻之不克，筑长围守之，遣人谓城中曰：“房伯玉已降，汝何为独取糜碎！”思忌遣人对曰：“城中兵食犹多，未暇从汝小虏语也！”魏右军府长史韩显宗将别军屯赭阳，成公期遣胡松引蛮兵攻其营，显宗力战，破之，斩其裨将高法援。显宗至新野，魏主谓曰：“卿破贼斩将，殊益军势。朕方攻坚城，何为不作露布？”对曰：“顷闻镇南将军王肃获贼二、三人，驴马数匹，皆为露布；臣在东观，私常哂之。近虽仰凭威灵，得摧丑虏，兵寡力弱，擒斩不多。脱复高曳长缣，虚张功烈，尤而效之，其罪弥大。臣所以不敢为之，解上而已。”魏主益贤之。

So much they told him when he forced them, but he guessed there was more wickedness than this afoot, and that a great raid of the whole goblin army with their wolf-allies into the lands shadowed by the mountains might soon be made to find the dwarves, or to take vengeance on the men and creatures that lived there, and who they thought must be sheltering them.

"It was a good story, that of yours," said Beorn, "but I like it still better now I am sure it is true. You must forgive my not taking your word.

上诏徐州刺史裴叔业引兵救雍州。叔业启称：“北人不乐远行，唯乐钞掠。若侵虏境，则司、雍之寇自然分矣。”上从之。叔业引兵攻虹城，获男女四千余人。

If you lived near the edge of Mirkwood, you would take the word of no one that you did not know as well as your brother or better. As it is, I can only say that I have hurried home as fast as I could to see that you were safe, and to offer you any help that I can. I shall think more kindly of dwarves after this. Killed the Great Goblin, killed the Great Goblin!" he chuckled fiercely to himself.

甲戌，遣太子中庶子萧衍、右军司马张稷救雍州。十一月，甲午，前军将军韩秀方等十五将降于魏。丁酉，魏败齐兵于沔北，将军王伏保等为魏所获。

"What did you do with the goblin and the Warg?" asked Bilbo suddenly.

"Come and see!" said Beorn, and they followed round the house. A goblin's head was stuck outside the gate and a warg-skin was nailed to a tree just beyond. Beorn was a fierce enemy. But now he was their friend, and Gandalf thought it wise to tell him their whole story and the reason of their journey, so that they could get the most help he could offer.

むてズぱいゞ

丙辰，以杨灵珍为北秦州刺史、仇池公、武都王。

新野人张｛月者｝帅万余家据栅拒魏。十二月，庚申，魏人攻拔之。雍州刺史曹虎与房伯玉不协，故缓救之，顿军樊城。

This is what he promised to do for them. He would provide ponies for each of them, and a horse for Gandalf, for their journey to the forest, and he would lade them with food to last them for weeks with care, and packed so as to be as easy as possible to carry-nuts, flour, sealed jars of dried fruits, and red earthenware pots of honey, and twice-baked cakes that would keep good a long time, and on a little of which they could march far. The making of these was one of his secrets; but honey was in them, as in most of his foods, and they were good to eat, though they made one thirsty.

Water, he said, they would not need to carry this side of the forest, for there were streams and springs along the road. "But your way through Mirkwood is dark, dangerous and difficult," he said. "Water is not easy to find there, nor food. The time is not yet come for nuts (though it may be past and gone indeed before you get to the other side), and nuts are about all that grows there fit for food; in there the wild things are dark, queer, and savage. I will provide you with skins for carrying water, and I will give you some bows and arrows. But I doubt very much whether anything you find in Mirkwood will be wholesome to eat or to drink.

丁丑，诏遣度支尚书崔慧景救雍州，假慧景节，帅众二万、骑千匹向襄阳，雍州众军并受节度。

There is one stream there, I know, black and strong which crosses the path. That you should neither drink of, nor bathe in; for I have heard that it carries enchantment and a great drowsiness and forgetfulness.

And in the dim shadows of that place I don't think you will shoot anything, wholesome or unwholesome, without straying from the path. That you MUST NOT do, for any reason. "That is all the advice I can give you.

庚午，魏主南临沔水；戊寅，还新野。

Beyond the edge of the forest I cannot help you much; you must depend on your luck and your courage and the food I send with you. At the gate of the forest I must ask you to send back my horse and my ponies. But I wish you all speed, and my house is open to you, if ever you come back this way again."

They thanked him, of course, with many bows and sweepings of their hoods and with many an "at your service, O master of the wide wooden halls!" But their spirits sank at his grave words, and they all felt that the adventure was far more dangerous than they had thought, while all the time, even if they passed all the perils of the road, the dragon was waiting at the end.

たャノダっイ

将军王昙纷以万余人攻魏南青州黄郭戍，魏戍主崔僧渊破之，举军皆没。将军鲁康祚、赵公政将兵万人侵魏太仓口，魏豫州刺史王肃使长史清河傅永将甲士三千击之。康祚等军于淮南，永军于淮北，相去十余里。永曰：“南人好夜斫营，必于渡淮之所置火以记浅。”乃夜分兵为二部，伏于营外；又以瓠贮火，密使人过淮南岸，于深处置之，戒曰：“见火起，则亦然之。”是夜，康祚等果引兵斫永营；伏兵夹击之。康祚等走趣淮水，火旣竞起，不知所从，溺死及斩首数千级，生擒公政，获康祚之尸以归。豫州刺史裴叔业侵魏楚王戍，肃复令永击之。永将心腹一人驰诣楚王戍，令填外堑，夜伏战士千人于城外。晓而叔业等至城东，部分将置长围。永伏兵击其后军，破之。叔业留将佐守营，自将精兵数千救之。永登门楼，望叔业南行数里，卽开门奋击，大破之，获叔业伞扇、鼓幕、甲仗万余。叔业进退失据，遂走。左右欲追之，永曰：“吾弱卒不满三千，彼精甲犹盛，非力屈而败，自坠吾计中耳。旣不测我之虚实，足使丧胆，俘此足矣，何更追之！”魏主遣谒者就拜永安远将军、汝南太守，封贝丘县男。永有勇力，好学能文。魏主常叹曰：“上马能击贼，下马作露版，唯傅修期耳！”

曲江公遥欣好武事，上以诸子尚幼，内亲则仗遥欣兄弟，外亲则倚后弟西中郎长史彭城刘暄、内弟太子詹事江祏。故以始安王遥光为扬州刺史，居中用事；遥欣为都督荆‖雍等七州诸军事、荆州刺史，镇据西面。而遥欣在江陵，多招材勇，厚自封殖，上甚恶之。遥欣侮南郡太守刘季连，季连密表遥欣有异迹；上乃以季连为益州刺史，使据遥欣上流以制之。季连，思考之子也。

All that morning they were busy with preparations. Soon after midday they ate with Beorn for the last time, and after the meal they mounted the steeds he was lending them, and bidding him many farewells they rode off through his gate at a good pace.

As soon as they left his high hedges at the east of his fenced lands they turned north and then bore to the north-west.

是岁，高昌王马儒遣司马王体玄入贡于魏，请兵迎接，求举国内徙；魏主遣明威将军韩安保迎之，割伊吾之地五百里以居儒众。儒遣左长史顾礼、右长史金城曲嘉将步骑一千五百迎安保，而安保不至；礼、嘉还高昌，安保亦还伊吾。安保遣其属朝兴安等使高昌，儒复遣顾礼将世子义舒迎安保，至白棘城，去高昌百六十里。高昌旧人恋土，不愿东迁，相与杀儒，立曲嘉为王，复臣于柔然。安保独与顾礼、马义舒还洛阳。

By his advice they were no longer making for the main forest-road to the south of his land. Had they followed the pass, their path would have led them down the stream from the mountains that joined the great river miles south of the Carrock.

At that point there was a deep ford which they might have passed, if they had still had their ponies, and beyond that a track led to the skirts of the wood and to the entrance of the old forest road.

明帝永泰元年（戊寅，公元四九八年）

But Beorn had warned them that that way was now often used by the goblins, while the forest-road itself, he bad heard, was overgrown and disused at the eastern end and led to impassable marshes where the paths had long been lost. Its eastern opening had also always been far to the south of the Lonely Mountain, and would have left them still with a long and difficult northward march when they got to the other side.

加中军大将军徐孝嗣开府仪同三司，孝嗣固辞。

North of the Carrock the edge of Mirkwood drew closer to the borders of the Great River, and though here the Mountains too drew down nearer, Beorn advised them to take this way; for at a place a few days' ride due north of the Carrock was the gate of a little-known pathway through Mirkwood that led almost straight towards the Lonely Mountain.

"The goblins," Beorn had said, "will not dare to cross the Great River for a hundred miles north of the Carrock nor to come near my house — it is well protected at night!— but I should ride fast; for if they make their raid soon they will cross the river to the south and scour all the edge of the forest so as to cut you off, and Wargs run swifter than ponies.

いラそ

魏军李佐攻新野，丁亥，拔之，缚刘思忌，问之曰：“今欲降未？”思忌曰：“宁为南鬼，不为北臣！”乃杀之。于是沔北大震。戊子，湖阳戍主蔡道福、辛卯，赭阳戍主成公期、壬辰，舞阴戍主黄瑶起、南乡太守席谦相继南遁。瑶起为魏所获，魏主以赐王肃，肃脔而食之。乙巳，命太尉陈显达救雍州。

上有疾，以近亲寡弱，忌高、武子孙。时高、武子孙犹有十王，每朔望入朝，上还后宫，辄叹息曰：“我及司徒诸子皆不长，高、武子孙日益长大！”上欲尽除高、武之族，以微言问陈显达，对曰：“此等岂足介虑！”以问扬州刺史始安王遥光，遥光以为当以次施行。遥光有足疾，上常令乘舆自望贤门入，每与上屏人久语毕，上索香火，呜咽流涕，明日必有所诛。会上疾暴甚，绝而复苏，遥光遂行其策。丁未，杀河东王铉、临贺王子岳、西阳王子文、永阳王子峻、南康王子琳、衡阳王子珉、湘东王子建、南郡王子夏、桂阳王昭粲、巴陵王昭秀，于是太祖、世祖及世宗诸子皆尽矣。铉等已死，乃使公卿奏其罪状，请诛之，下诏不许；再奏，然后许之。南康侍读济阳江泌哭子琳，泪尽，继之以血；亲视殡葬毕，乃去。

Still you are safer going north, even though you seem to be going back nearer to their strongholds; for that is what they will least expect, and they will have the longer ride to catch you. Be off now as quick as you may!"

That is why they were now riding in silence, galloping wherever the ground was grassy and smooth, with the mountains dark on their left, and in the distance the line of the river with its trees drawing ever closer. The sun had only just turned west when they started, and till evening it lay golden on the land about them. It was difficult to think of pursuing goblins behind, and when they had put many miles between them and Beorn's house they began to talk and to sing again and to forget the dark forest-path that lay in front. But in the evening when the dusk came on and the peaks of the mountains glowered against the sunset they made a camp and set a guard, and most of them slept uneasily with dreams in which there came the howl of hunting wolves and the cries of goblins. Still the next morning dawned bright and fair again.

庚戌，魏主如南阳。二月，癸丑，诏左卫将军萧惠休等救寿阳。甲子，魏人拔宛北城，房伯玉面缚出降。伯玉从父弟思安为魏中统军，数为伯玉泣请，魏主乃赦之。庚午，魏主如新野。辛巳，以彭城王勰为使持节、都督南征诸军事、中军大将军、开府仪同三司。

There was an autumn-like mist white upon the ground and the air was chill, but soon the sun rose red in the East and the mists vanished, and while the shadows were still long they were off again.

So they rode now for two more days, and all the while they saw nothing save grass and flowers and birds and scattered trees, and occasionally small herds of red deer browsing or sitting at noon in the shade.

三月，壬午朔，崔慧景、萧衍大败于邓城。时慧景至襄阳，五郡已陷没，慧景与衍及军主刘山阳、傅法宪等帅五千余人进行邓城，魏数万骑奄至，诸军登城拒守。时将士蓐食轻行，皆有饥惧之色。衍欲出战，慧景曰：“虏不夜围人城，待日暮自当去。”旣而魏众转至。慧景于南门拔军去，诸军不相知，相继皆遁。魏兵自北门入，刘山阳与部曲数百人断后死战，且战且却行。慧景过闹沟，军人相蹈藉，桥皆断坏。魏兵夹路射之，杀傅法宪，士卒赴沟死者相枕，山阳取袄仗填沟乘之，得免。魏主将大兵追之，晡时至沔。山阳据城苦战，至暮，魏兵乃退。诸军恐惧，是夕，皆下船还襄阳。庚寅，魏主将十万众，羽仪华盖，以围樊城，曹虎闭门自守。魏主临沔水，望襄阳岸，乃去，如湖阳；辛亥，如悬瓠。

Sometimes Bilbo saw the horns of the harts sticking up out of the long grass, and at first he thought they were the dead branches of trees. That third evening they were so eager to press on, for Beorn had said that they should reach the forest-gate early on the fourth day, that they rode still forward after dusk and into the night beneath the moon.

As the light faded Bilbo thought he saw away to the right, or to the left, the shadowy form of a great bear prowling along in the same direction. But if he dared to mention it to Gandalf, the wizard only said: "Hush! Take no notice!"

魏镇南将军王肃攻义阳，裴叔业将兵五万围涡阳以救义阳。魏南兖州刺史济北孟表守涡阳，粮尽，食草木皮叶。叔业积所杀魏人高五丈以示城内；别遣军主萧璝等攻龙亢，魏广陵王羽救之。叔业引兵击羽，大破之，追获其节。魏主使安远将军傅永、征虏将军刘藻、假辅国将军高聪等救涡阳，并受王肃节度。叔业进击，大破之，聪奔悬瓠，永收散卒徐还。叔业再战，凡斩首万级，俘三千余人，获器械杂畜财物以千万计。魏主命锁三将诣悬瓠；刘藻、高聪免死，徙平州；傅永夺官爵；黜王肃为平南将军。肃表请更遣军救涡阳，魏主报曰：“观卿意，必以藻等新败，故难于更往。朕今少分兵则不足制敌，多分兵则禁旅有阙，卿审图之。义阳当止则止，当下则下；若失涡阳，卿之过也。”肃乃解义阳之围，与统军杨大眼、奚康生等步骑十余万救涡阳。叔业见魏兵盛，夜，引军退；明日，士众奔溃，魏人追之，杀伤不可胜数。叔业还保涡口。

Next day they started before dawn, though their night had been short.

ルミ゜ザぞずオつウ

初，魏中尉李彪，家世孤微，朝无亲援；初游代都，以清渊文穆公李冲好士，倾心附之。冲亦重其材学，礼遇甚厚，荐于魏主，且为之延誉于朝，公私汲引。及为中尉，弹劾不避贵戚，魏主贤之，以比汲黯。彪自以结知人主，不复藉冲，稍稍疏之，唯公坐敛袂而已，无复宗敬之意，冲浸衔之。

As soon as it was light they could see the forest coming as it were to meet them, or waiting for them like a black and frowning wall before them. The land began to slope up and up, and it seemed to the hobbit that a silence began to draw in upon them. Birds began to sing less. There were no more deer; not even rabbits were to be seen.

By the afternoon they had reached the eaves of Mirkwood, and were resting almost beneath the great overhanging boughs of its outer trees. Their trunks were huge and gnarled, their branches twisted, their leaves were dark and long. Ivy grew on them and trailed along the ground.

及魏主南伐，彪与冲及任城王澄共掌留务。彪性刚豪，意议多所乖异，数与冲争辩，形于声色；自以身为法官，他人莫能纠劾，事多专恣。冲不胜忿，乃积其前后过恶，禁彪于尚书省，上表劾彪“违傲高亢，公行僭逸，坐舆禁省，私取官材，辄驾乘黄，无所惮慑。臣辄集尚书已下、令史已上于尚书都座，以彪所犯罪状告彪，讯其虚实，彪皆伏罪。请以见事免彪所居职，付廷尉治罪。”冲又表称：“臣与彪相识以来，垂二十载。见其才优学博，议论刚正，愚意诚谓拔萃公清之人。后稍察其人酷急，犹谓益多损少。自大驾南行以来，彪兼尚书，日夕共事，始知其专恣无忌，尊身忽物；听其言如振古忠恕之贤，校其行实天下佞暴之贼。臣与任城卑躬曲己，若顺弟之奉暴兄，其所欲者，事虽非理，无不屈从。依事求实，悉有成验。如臣列得实，宜殛彪于北荒，以除乱政之奸；所引无证，宜投臣于四裔，以息青蝇之谮。”冲手自作表，家人不知。

"Well, here is Mirkwood!" said Gandalf. "The greatest of the forests of the Northern world. I hope you like the look of it.

卷一四一 齐纪七（三）

Now you must send back these excellent ponies you have borrowed."

The dwarves were inclined to grumble at this, but the wizard told them they were fools. "Beorn is not as far off as you seem to think, and you had better keep your promises anyway, for he is a bad enemy. Mr. Baggins' eyes are sharper than yours, if you have not seen each night after dark a great bear going along with us or sitting far of in the moon watching our camps.

帝览表，叹怅久之，曰：“不意留台乃至于此！”旣而曰：“道固可谓溢矣，而仆射亦为满也。”黄门侍郎宋弁素怨冲，而与彪同州相善，阴左右之。有司处彪大辟，帝宥之，除名而已。

Not only to guard you and guide you, but to keep an eye on the ponies too. Beorn may be your friend, but he loves his animals as his children.

冲雅性温厚，及收彪之际，亲数彪前后过失，瞋目大呼，投折几案，御史皆泥首面缚。冲詈辱肆口，遂发病荒悸，言语错缪，时扼腕大骂，称“李彪小人”，医药皆不能疗，或以为肝裂，旬余而卒。帝哭之，悲不自胜，赠司空。

You do not guess what kindness he has shown you in letting dwarves ride them so far and so fast, nor what would happen to you, if you tried to take them into the forest."

冲勤敏强力，久处要剧，文案盈积，终日视事，未尝厌倦，职业修举，纔四十而发白。兄弟六人，凡四母，少时每多忿竞。及冲贵，禄赐皆与共之，更成敦睦。然多授引族姻，私以官爵，一家岁禄万匹有余，时人以此少之。

"What about the horse, then?" said Thorin. "You don't mention sending that back."

"I don't, because I am not sending it."

魏主以彭城王勰为宗师，诏使督察宗室，有不帅敎者以闻。

"What about your promise then?"

夏，四月，甲寅，改元。

"I will look after that. I am not sending the horse back, I am riding it!"

大司马会稽太守王敬则，自以高、武旧将，必不自安。上虽外礼甚厚，而内相疑备，数访问敬则饮食，体干堪宜。闻其衰老，且以居内地，故得少宽。前二岁，上遣领军将军萧坦之将斋仗五百人行武进陵，敬则诸子在都，忧怖无计。上知之，遣敬则世子仲雄入东安尉之。

Then they knew that Gandalf was going to leave them at the very edge of Mirkwood, and they were in despair.

仲雄善琴，上以蔡邕焦尾琴借之。仲雄于御前鼓琴作懊憹歌，曰：“常叹负情侬，郎今果行许。”又曰：“君行不净心，那得恶人题！”上愈猜愧。

But nothing they could say would change his mind.

上疾屡危，乃以光禄大夫张瓌为平东将军、吴郡太守，置兵佐以密防敬则。中外传言，当有异处分。敬则闻之，窃曰：“东今有谁，只是欲平我耳；东亦何易可平！吾终不受金罂！”金罂，谓鸩也。

"Now we had this all out before, when we landed on the Carrock," he said. "It is no use arguing. I have, as I told you, some pressing business away south; and I am already late through bothering with you people. We may meet again before all is over, and then again of course we may not.

敬则女为徐州行事谢朓妻，敬则子太子洗马幼隆遣正员将军徐岳以情告朓：“为计若同者，当往报敬则。”朓执岳，驰启以闻。敬则城局参军徐庶，家在京口，其子密以报庶，庶以告敬则五官掾王公林。公林，敬则族子也，常所委信。公林劝敬则急送启赐儿死，单舟星夜还都。敬则令司马张思祖草启，旣而曰：“若尔，诸郎在都，要应有信，且忍一夕。”

That depends on your luck and on your courage and sense; and I am sending Mr. Baggins with you.

I have told you before that he has more about him than you guess, and you will find that out before long.

スヮスがふす

其夜，呼僚佐文武樗蒲，谓众曰：“卿诸人欲令我作何计？”莫敢先答。防合丁兴怀曰：“官祗应作尔！”敬则不应。明旦，召山阴令王询、台传御史钟离祖愿，敬则横刀跂坐，问询等：“发丁可得几人？库见有几钱物？”询称“县丁猝不可集”；祖愿称“库物多未输入”。敬则怒，将出斩之，王公林又谏曰：“凡事皆可悔，唯此事不可悔；官讵不更思！”敬则唾其面曰：“我作事，何关汝小子！”敬则举兵反，招集，配衣，二三日便发。

前中书令何胤，弃官隐居若邪山，敬则欲劫以为尚书令。长史王弄璋等谏曰：“何令高蹈，必不从；不从，便应杀之。举大事先杀名贤，事必不济。”敬则乃止。胤，尚之之孙也。

So cheer up Bilbo and don't look so glum. Cheer up Thorin and Company!

This is your expedition after all. Think of the treasure at the end, and forget the forest and the dragon, at any rate until tomorrow morning!"

庚午，魏发州郡兵二十万人，期八月中旬集悬瓠。

When tomorrow morning came he still said the same.

So now there was nothing left to do but to fill their water-skins at a clear spring they found close to the forest-gate, and unpack the ponies. They distributed the packages as fairly as they could, though Bilbo thought his lot was wearisomely heavy, and did not at all like the idea of trudging for miles and miles with all that on his back.

魏赵郡灵王干卒。

"Don't you worry!" said Thorin. "It will get lighter all too soon. Before long I expect we shall all wish our packs heavier, when the food begins to run short."

Then at last they said good-bye to their ponies and turned their heads for home.

上闻王敬则反，收王幼隆及其兄员外郎世雄、记室参军季哲、其弟太子舍人少安等，皆杀之。长子黄门郎元迁将千人在徐州击魏，敕徐州刺史徐玄庆杀之。前吴郡太守南康侯子恪，嶷之子也，敬则起兵，以奉子恪为名；子恪亡走，未知所在。始安王遥光劝上尽诛高、武子孙，于是悉召诸王侯入宫。晋安王宝义、江陵公宝览等处中书省，高、武诸孙处西省，敕人各从左右两人，过此依军法；孩幼者与乳母俱入。其夜，令太医煑椒二斛，都水办棺材数十具，须三更，当尽杀之。子恪徒跣自归，二更达建阳门，剌启。时刻已至，而上眠不起，中书舍人沈徽孚与上所亲左右单景隽共谋少留其事。须臾，上觉，景隽启子恪已至。上惊问曰：“未邪？未邪？”景隽具以事对。上抚床曰：“遥光几误人事！”乃赐王侯供馔，明日，悉遣还第。以子恪为太子中庶子。宝览，缅之子也。

敬则帅实甲万人过浙江。张瓌遣兵三千拒敬则于松江，闻敬则军鼓声，一时散走，瓌弃郡，逃民间。敬则以旧将举事，百姓担篙荷锸，随之者十余万众；至晋陵，南沙人范修化杀县令公上延孙以应之。敬则至武进陵口，恸哭而过。乌程丘仲孚为曲阿令，敬则前锋奄至，仲孚谓吏民曰：“贼乘胜虽锐，而乌合易离。今若收船舰，凿长冈埭，泻渎水以阻其路，得留数日，台军必至，如此，则大事济矣。”敬则军至，值渎涸，果顿兵不得进。

Off they trotted gaily, seeming very glad to put their tails towards the shadow of Mirkwood. As they went away Bilbo could have sworn that a thing like a bear left the shadow of the trees and shambled off quickly after them.

Now Gandalf too said farewell. Bilbo sat on the ground feeling very unhappy and wishing he was beside the wizard on his tall horse.

五月，诏前军司马左兴盛、后军将军崔恭祖、辅国将军刘山阳、龙骧将军‖马军主胡松筑垒于曲阿长冈；右仆射沈文季为持节都督，屯湖头，备京口路。恭祖，慧景之族也。敬则急攻兴盛、山阳二垒，台军不能敌，欲退，而围不开，各死战。胡松引骑兵突其后，白丁无器仗，皆惊散。敬则军大败，索马再上，不能得，崔恭祖刺之仆地，兴盛军客袁文旷斩之。乙酉，传首建康。

He had gone just inside the forest after breakfast (a very poor one), and it had seemed as dark in there in the morning as at night, and very secret: "a sort of watching and waiting feeling," he said to himself.

"Good-bye!" said Gandalf to Thorin. "And good-bye to you all, good-bye! Straight through the forest is your way now. Don't stray off the track!-if you do, it is a thousand to one you will never find it again and never get out of Mirkwood; and then I don't suppose I, or any one else, will ever see you again."

是时上疾已笃，敬则仓猝东起，朝廷震惧。太子宝卷使人上屋，望见征虏亭失火，谓敬则至，急装欲走。敬则闻之，喜曰：“檀公三十六策，走为上策，计汝父子唯有走耳！”盖时人讥檀道济避魏之语也。敬则之来，声势甚盛，裁少日而败。

"Do we really have to go through?" groaned the hobbit.

台军讨贼党，晋陵民以附敬则应死者甚众。太守王瞻上言：“愚民易动，不足穷法。”上许之，所全活以万数。瞻，弘之从孙也。

"Yes, you do!" said the wizard, "if you want to get to the other side. You must either go through or give up your quest. And I am not going to allow you to back out now, Mr. Baggins. I am ashamed of you for thinking of it. You have got to look after all these dwarves for me," he laughed.

"No! no!" said Bilbo. "I didn't mean that. I meant, is there no way round?"

ウマハドらヲもヴぱィ

上赏谢朓之功，迁尚书吏部郎。朓上表三让，上不许。中书疑朓官未及让，国子祭酒沈约曰：“近世小官不让，遂成恒俗。谢吏部今授超阶，让别有意。夫让出人情，岂关官之大小邪！”朓妻常怀刃欲杀朓，朓不敢相见。

秋，七月，魏彭城王勰表以一岁国秩、职俸、亲恤裨军国之用。魏主诏曰：“割身存国，理为远矣。职俸便停，亲、国听三分受一。”壬午，又诏损皇后私府之半，六宫嫔御、五服男女供恤亦减半，在军者三分省一，以给军赏。

"There is, if you care to go two hundred miles or so out of your way north, and twice that south. But you wouldn't get a safe path even then. There are no safe paths in this part of the world. Remember you are over the Edge of the Wild now, and in for all sorts of fun wherever you go.

Before you could get round Mirkwood in the North you would be right among the slopes of the Grey Mountains, and they are simply stiff with goblins, hobgoblins, and rest of the worst description. Before you could get round it in the South, you would get into the land of the Necromancer; and even you.

癸卯，以太子中庶子萧衍为雍州刺史。

Bilbo, won't need me to tell you tales of that black sorcerer. I don't advise you to go anywhere near the places overlooked by his dark tower! Stick to the forest-track, keep your spirits up, hope for the best, and with a tremendous slice of luck you may come out one day and see the Long Marshes lying below you, and beyond them, high in the East, the Lonely Mountain where dear old Smaug lives, though I hope he is not expecting you."

"Very comforting you are to be sure," growled Thorin. "Good-bye! If you won't come with us, you had better get off without any more talk!"

己酉，上殂于正福殿。遗诏：“徐令可重申前命。沈文季可左仆射，江祏可右仆射，江祀可侍中，刘暄可卫尉。军政可委陈太尉；内外众事，无大小委徐孝嗣、遥光、坦之、江祏，其大事与沈文季、江祀、刘暄参怀。心膂之任可委刘悛、萧惠休、崔慧景。”

"Good-bye then, and really good-bye!" said Gandalf, and he turned his horse and rode down into the West. But he could not resist the temptation to have the last word. Before he had passed quite out of hearing he turned and put his hands to his mouth and called to them. They heard his voice come faintly: "Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves-and DON'T LEAVE THE PATH!"

Then he galloped away and was soon lost to sight. "O good-bye and go away!" grunted the dwarves, all the more angry because they were really filled with dismay at losing him. Now began the most dangerous part of all the journey.

上性猜多虑，简于出入，竟不郊天。又深信巫觋，每出先占利害。东出云西，南出云北。初有疾，甚秘之，听览不辍。久之，敕台省文簿中求白鱼以为药，外始知之。太子卽位。

They each shouldered the heavy pack and the water-skin which was their share, and turned from the light that lay on the lands outside and plunged into the forest.

をヵ

八月，辛亥，魏太子自洛阳朝于悬瓠。

Chapter 8 Flies and Spiders

They walked in single file. The entrance to the path was like a sort of arch leading into a gloomy tunnel made by two great trees that leant together, too old and strangled with ivy and hung with lichen to bear more than a few blackened leaves. The path itself was narrow and wound in and out among the trunks.

壬子，奉朝请邓学以齐兴郡降魏。

Soon the light at the gate was like a little bright hole far behind, and the quiet was so deep that their feet seemed to thump along while all the trees leaned over them and listened.

魏主之入寇也，遣使发高车兵。高车惮远役，奉袁纥树者为主，相帅北叛。魏主遣征北将军宇文福讨之，大败而还，福坐黜官。更命平北将军江阳王继都督北讨诸军事以讨之，自怀朔以东悉禀节度，仍摄镇平城。继，熙之曾孙也。

As theft eyes became used to the dimness they could see a little way to either side in a sort of darkened green glimmer. Occasionally a slender beam of sun that had the luck to slip in through some opening in the leaves far above, and still more luck in not being caught in the tangled boughs and matted twigs beneath, stabbed down thin and bright before them. But this was seldom, and it soon ceased altogether.

There were black squirrels in the wood. As Bilbo's sharp inquisitive eyes got used to seeing things he could catch glimpses of them whisking off the path and scuttling behind tree-trunks. There were queer noises too, grunts, scufflings, and hurryings in the undergrowth, and among the leaves that lay piled endlessly thick in places on the forest-floor; but what made the noises he could not see.

八月，葬明皇帝于兴安陵，庙号高宗。东昏侯恶灵在太极殿，欲速葬。徐孝嗣固争，得踰月。帝每当哭，辄云喉痛。太中大夫羊阐入临，无发，号恸俯仰，帻遂脱地，帝辍哭大笑，谓左右曰：“秃鹙啼来乎！”

The nastiest things they saw were the cobwebs: dark dense cobwebs with threads extraordinarily thick, often stretched from tree to tree, or tangled in the lower branches on either side of them. There were none stretched across the path, but whether because some magic kept it clear, or for what other reason they could not guess.

九月，己亥，魏主闻高宗殂，下诏称“礼不伐丧”，引兵还。庚子，诏北伐高车。

It was not long before they grew to hate the forest as heartily as they had hated the tunnels of the goblins, and it seemed to offer even less hope of any ending. But they had to go on and on, long after they were sick for a sight of the sun and of the sky, and longed for the feel of wind on their faces.

魏主得疾甚笃，旬日不见侍臣，左右唯彭城王勰等数人而已。勰内侍医药，外总军国之务，远近肃然，人无异议。右军将军丹阳徐謇善医，时在洛阳，急召之。旣至，勰涕泣执手谓曰：“君能已至尊之疾，当获意外之赏；不然，有不测之诛。非但荣辱，乃系存亡。”勰又密为坛于汝水之滨，依周公故事，告天地及显祖，乞以身代魏主。魏主疾有间，丙午，发悬瓠，舍于汝滨，集百官，坐徐謇于上席，称扬其功，除鸿胪卿，封金乡县伯，赐钱万缗；诸王别饷赉，各不减千匹。冬，十一月，辛巳，魏主如邺。

There was no movement of air down under the forest-roof, and it was everlastingly still and dark and stuffy. Even the dwarves felt it, who were used to tunnelling, and lived at times for long whiles without the light of the sun; but the hobbit, who liked holes to make a house in but not to spend summer days in, felt he was being slowly suffocated.

The nights were the worst. It then became pitch-dark — not what you call pitch-dark, but really pitch; so black that you really could see nothing. Bilbo tried flapping his hand in front of his nose, but he could not see it at all. Well, perhaps it is not true to say that they could see nothing: they could see eyes.

戊子，立妃褚氏为皇后。

They slept all closely huddled together, and took it in turns to watch; and when it was Bilbo's turn he would see gleams in the darkness round them, and sometimes pairs of yellow or red or green eyes would stare at him from a little distance, and then slowly fade and disappear and slowly shine out again in another place.

And sometimes they would gleam down from the branches just above him; and that was most terrifying.

だたゅ

魏江阳王继上言：“高车顽昧，避役遁逃，若悉追戮，恐遂扰乱。请遣使，镇别推检，斩魁首一人，自余加以慰抚。若悔悟从役者，卽令赴军。”诏从之。于是叛者往往自归。继先遣人慰谕树者。树者亡入柔然，寻自悔，相帅出降。魏主善之；曰：“江阳可大任也。”十二月，甲寅，魏主自邺班师。

林邑王诸农入朝，海中值风，溺死，以其子文款为林邑王。

But the eyes that he liked the least were horrible pale bulbous sort of eyes. "Insect eyes" he thought, "not animal eyes, only they are much too big."

Although it was not yet very cold, they tried lighting watch-fires at night, but they soon gave that up. It seemed to bring hundreds and hundreds of eyes all round them, though the creatures, whatever they were, were careful never to let their bodies show in the little flicker of the flames. Worse still it brought thousands of dark-grey and black moths, some nearly as big as your hand, flapping and whirring round their ears. They could not stand that, nor the huge bats, black as a top-hat, either; so they gave up fires and sat at night and dozed in the enormous uncanny darkness.

卷一四二 齐纪八

All this went on for what seemed to the hobbit ages upon ages; and he was always hungry, for they were extremely careful with their provisions. Even so, as days followed days, and still the forest seemed just the same, they began to get anxious. The food would not last for ever: it was in fact already beginning to get low. They tried shooting at the squirrels, and they wasted many arrows before they managed to bring one down on the path. But when they roasted it, it proved horrible to taste, and they shot no more squirrels.

They were thirsty too, for they had none too much water, and in all the time they had seen neither spring nor stream.

屠维单阏（己卯），一年。

This was their state when one day they found their path blocked by a running water. It flowed fast and strong but not very wide right across the way, and it was black, or looked it in the gloom. It was well that Beorn had warned them against it, or they would have drunk from it, whatever its colour, and filled some of their emptied skins at its bank.

As it was they only thought of how to cross it without wetting themselves in its water. There had been a bridge of wood across, but it had rotted and fallen leaving only the broken posts near the bank.

Bilbo kneeling on the brink and peering forward cried: "There is a boat against the far bank! Now why couldn't it have been this side!"

"How far away do you think it is?" asked Thorin, for by now they knew Bilbo had the sharpest eyes among them.

太尉陈显达督平北将军崔慧景军四万击魏，欲复雍州诸郡；癸未，魏遣前将军元英拒之。

"Not at all far. I shouldn't think above twelve yards."

"Twelve yards! I should have thought it was thirty at least, but my eyes don't see as well as they used a hundred years ago.

乙酉，魏主发邺。

Still twelve yards is as good as a mile. We can't jump it, and we daren't try to wade or swim."

辛卯，帝祀南郊。

"Can any of you throw a rope?"

"What's the good of that? The boat is sure to be tied up, even if we could hook it, which I doubt."

戊戌，魏主至洛阳，过李冲冢。时卧疾，望之而泣；见留守官，语及冲，辄流涕。

"I don't believe it is tied," said Bilbo, "though of course I can't be sure in this light; but it looks to me as if it was just drawn up on the bank, which is low just there where the path goes down into the water."

魏主谓任城王澄曰：“朕离京以来，旧俗少变不？”对曰：“圣化日新。”帝曰：“朕入城，见车上妇人犹戴帽、着小袄，何谓日新！”对曰：“著者少，不著者多。”帝曰：“任城，此何言也！必欲使满城尽着邪！”澄与留守官皆免冠谢。

"Dori is the strongest, but Fili is the youngest and still has the best sight," said Thorin. "Come here Fili, and see if you can see the boat Mr. Baggins is talking about."

Fili thought he could; so when he had stared a long while to get an idea of the direction, the others brought him a rope.

甲辰，魏大赦。魏主之幸邺也，李彪迎拜于邺南，且谢罪。帝曰：“朕欲用卿，恩李仆射而止。”慰而遣之。会御史台令史龙文观告：“太子恂被收之日，有手书自理，彪不以闻。”尚书表收彪赴洛阳。帝以为彪必不然；以牛车散载诣洛阳，会赦，得免。

魏太保齐郡灵王简卒。

They had several with them, and on the end of the longest they fastened one of the large iron hooks they had used for catching their packs to the straps about their shoulders.

Fili took this in his hand, balanced it for a moment, and then flung it across the stream.

二月，辛亥，魏以咸阳王禧为太尉。

Splash it fell in the water! "Not far enough!" said Bilbo who was peering forward. "A couple of feet and you would have dropped it on to the boat.

Try again. I don't suppose the magic is strong enough to hurt you, if you just touch a bit of wet rope."

魏主连年在外，冯后私于宦者高菩萨。及帝在悬瓠病笃，后益肆意无所惮，中常侍双蒙等为之心腹。

Fili picked up the hook when he had drawn it back, rather doubtfully all the same. This time he threw it with greater strength.

"Steady!" said Bilbo, "you have thrown it right into the wood on the other side now. Draw it back gently." Fili hauled the rope back slowly, and after a while Bilbo said:

ベネぴぱコ

彭城公主为宋王刘昶子妇，寡居。后为其母弟北平公冯夙求婚，帝许之；公主不愿，后强之。公主密与家僮冒雨诣悬瓠，诉于帝，且具道后所为。帝疑而秘之。后闻之，始惧。阴与母常氏使女巫厌祷，曰：“帝疾若不起，一旦得如文明太后辅少主称制者，当赏报不赀。”

帝还洛，收高菩萨、双蒙等，案问，具伏。帝在含温室，夜引后入，赐坐东楹，去御榻二丈余，命菩萨等陈状。旣而召彭城王勰、北海王详入坐，曰：“昔为汝嫂，今是路人，但入勿避！”又曰：“此妪欲手刃吾胁！吾以文明太后家女，不能废，但虚置宫中，有心庶能自死；汝等勿谓吾犹有情也。”二王出，赐后辞诀；后再拜，稽首涕泣。入居后宫。诸嫔御奉之犹如后礼，唯命太子不复朝谒而已。

"Carefully! It is lying on the boat; let's hope the hook will catch."

It did. The rope went taut, and Fili pulled in vain. Kili came to his help, and then Oin and Gloin.

初，冯熙以文明太后之兄尚恭宗女博陵长公主。熙有三女，二为皇后，一为左昭仪，由是冯氏贵宠冠羣臣，赏赐累巨万。公主生二子：诞、修。熙为太保，诞为司徒，修为侍中、尚书，庶子聿为黄门郎。黄门侍郎崔光与聿同直，谓聿曰：“君家富贵太盛，终必衰败。”聿曰：“我家何所负，而君无谅诅我！”光曰：“不然。物盛必衰，此天地之常理。若以古事推之，不可不慎。”后岁余而修败。修性浮竞，诞屡戒之，不悛，乃白于太后及帝而杖之。修由是恨诞，求药，使诞左右毒之。事觉，帝欲诛之，诞自引咎，恳乞其生。帝亦以其父老，杖修百余，黜为平城民。及诞、熙继卒，幽后寻废，聿亦摈弃，冯氏遂衰。

They tugged and tugged, and suddenly they all fell over on their backs. Bilbo was on the lockout, however, caught the rope, and with a piece of stick fended off the little black boat as it came rushing across the stream.

"Help!" he shouted, and Balin was just in time to seize the boat before it floated off down the current.

魏以彭城王勰为司徒。

"It was tied after all," said he, looking at the snapped painter that was still dangling from it. "That was a good pull, my lads; and a good job that our rope was the stronger."

陈显达与魏元英战，屡破之。攻马圈城四十日，城中食尽，噉死人肉及树皮。癸酉，魏人突围走，斩获千计。显达入城，将士竞取城中绢，遂不穷追。显达又遣军主庄丘黑进击南乡，拔之。

"Who'll cross first?" asked Bilbo.

"I shall," said Thorin, "and you will come with me, and Fili and Balin. That's as many as the boat will hold at a time. After that Kili and Oin and Gloin and Don; next On and Nori, Bifur and Bofur; and last Dwalin and Bombur."

魏主谓任城王澄曰：“显达侵扰，朕不亲行，无以制之。”三月，庚辰，魏主发洛阳，命于烈居守，以右卫将军宋弁兼祠部尚书，摄七兵事以佐之。弁精勤吏治，恩遇亚于李冲。

癸未，魏主至梁城。崔慧景攻魏顺阳，顺阳太守清河张烈固守；甲申，魏主遣振威将军慕容平城将骑五千救之。

"I'm always last and I don't like it," said Bombur. "It's somebody else's turn today."

"You should not be so fat. As you are, you must be with the last and lightest boatload. Don't start grumbling against orders, or something bad will happen to you."

自魏主有疾，彭城王勰常居中侍医药，昼夜不离左右，饮食必先尝而后进，蓬首垢面，衣不解带。帝久疾多忿，近侍失指，动欲诛斩。勰承颜伺间，多所匡救。丙戌，以勰为使持节、都督中外诸军事。勰辞曰：“臣侍疾无暇，安能治军！愿更请一王，使总军要，臣得专心医药。”帝曰：“侍疾、治军，皆凭于汝。吾病如此，深虑不济；安六军、保社稷者，舍汝而谁！何容方更请人以违心寄乎！”

"There aren't any oars. How are you going to push the boat back to the far bank?" asked the hobbit.

"Give me another length of rope and another hook," said Fili, and when they had got it ready, he cast into the darkness ahead and as high as he could throw it.

丁酉，魏主至马圈，命荆州刺史广阳王嘉断均口，邀齐兵归路。嘉，建之子也。

Since it did not fall down again, they saw that it must have stuck in the branches. "Get in now," said Fili, "and one of you haul on the rope that is stuck in a tree on the other side.

One of the others must keep hold of the hook we used at first, and when we are safe on the other side he can hook it on, and you can draw the boat back."

陈显达引兵渡水西，据鹰子山筑城；人情沮恐，与魏战，屡败。魏武卫将军元嵩免胄陷陈，将士随之，齐兵大败。嵩，澄之弟也。戊戌，军主崔恭祖、胡松以乌布幔盛显达，数人担之，间道自分碛山出均水口南走。己亥，魏收显达军资亿计，班赐将士，追奔至汉水而还。左军将军张千战死，士卒死者三万余人。

In this way they were all soon on the far bank safe across the enchanted stream. Dwalin had just scrambled out with the coiled rope on his arm, and Bombur (still grumbling) was getting ready to follow, when something bad did happen. There was a flying sound of hooves on the path ahead. Out of the gloom came suddenly the shape of a flying deer.

ヶナょやマゖナゕした

显达之北伐，军入汋均口。广平冯道根说显达曰：“汋均水迅急，易进难退；魏若守隘，则首尾俱急。不如悉弃船于酇城，陆道步进，列营相次，鼓行而前，破之必矣。”显达不从。道根以私属从军，及显达夜走，军人不知山路，道根每及险要，辄停马指示之，众赖以全。诏以道根为汋均口戍副。显达素有威名，至是大损。御史中丞范岫奏免显达官，显达亦自表解职；皆不许，更以显达为江州刺史。崔慧景亦弃顺阳走还。

It charged into the dwarves and bowled them over, then gathered itself for a leap. High it sprang and cleared the water with a mighty jump. But it did not reach the other side in safety.

Thorin was the only one who had kept his feet and his wits. As soon as they had landed he had bent his bow and fitted an arrow in case any hidden guardian of the boat appeared.

庚子，魏主疾甚，北还，至谷塘原，谓司徒勰曰：“后宫久乖阴德，吾死之后，可赐自尽，葬以后礼，庶免冯门之丑。”又曰：“吾病益恶，殆必不起。虽摧破显达，而天下未平，嗣子幼弱，社稷所倚，唯在于汝。霍子孟、诸葛孔明以异姓受顾托，况汝亲贤，可不勉之！”勰泣曰：“布衣之士，犹为知己毕命；况臣托灵先帝，依陛下之末光乎！但臣以至亲，久参机要，宠灵辉赫，海内莫及；所以敢受而不辞，正恃陛下日月之明，恕臣忘退之过耳。今复任以元宰，总握机政；震主之声，取罪必矣。昔周公大圣，成王至明，犹不免疑，而况臣乎！如此，则陛下爱臣，更为未尽始终之美。”帝默然久之，曰：“详思汝言，理实难夺。”乃手诏太子曰：“汝叔父勰，清规懋赏，与白云俱洁；厌荣舍绂，以松竹为心。吾少与绸缪，未忍暌离。百年之后，其听勰辞蝉舍冕，遂其冲挹之性。”以侍中、护军将军北海王详为司空，镇南将军王肃为尚书令，镇南大将军广阳王嘉为左仆射，尚书宋弁为吏部尚书，与侍中‖太尉禧、尚书右仆射等六人辅政。夏，四月，丙午朔，殂于谷塘原。

Now he sent a swift and sure shot into the leaping beast. As it reached the further bank it stumbled. The shadows swallowed it up, but they heard the sound of hooves quickly falter and then go still.

高祖友爱诸弟，始终无间。尝从容谓咸阳王禧等曰：“我后子孙邂逅不肖，汝等观望，可辅则辅之，不可辅则取之，勿为他人有也。”亲任贤能，从善如流，精勤庶务，朝夕不倦。常曰：“人主患不能处心公平，推诚于物。能是二者，则胡、越之人皆可使如兄弟矣。”用法虽严，于大臣无所容贷，然人有小过，常多阔略。尝于食中得虫，又左右进羹误伤帝手，皆笑而赦之。天地五郊、宗庙二分之祭，未尝不身亲其礼。每出巡游及用兵，有司奏修道路，帝辄曰：“粗修桥梁，通车马而已，勿去草刬令平也。”在淮南行兵，如在境内，禁士卒无得践伤粟稻；或伐民树以供军用，皆留绢偿之。宫室非不得已不修，衣弊，浣濯而服之，鞍勒用铁木而已。幼多力善射，能以指弹碎羊骨，射禽兽无不命中；及年十五，遂不复畋猎。常谓史官曰：“时事不可以不直书。人君威福在己，无能制之者；若史策复不书其恶，将何所畏忌邪！”

Before they could shout in praise of the shot, however, a dreadful wail from Bilbo put all thoughts of venison out of their minds. "Bombur has fallen in! Bombur is drowning!" he cried. It was only too true. Bombur had only one foot on the land when the hart bore down on him, and sprang over him. He had stumbled, thrusting the boat away from the bank, and then toppled back into the dark water, his hands slipping off the slimy roots at the edge, while the boat span slowly off and disappeared.

They could still see his hood above the water when they ran to the bank. Quickly they flung a rope with a hook towards him. His hand caught it, and they pulled him to the shore. He was drenched from hair to boots, of course, but that was not the worst.

彭城王勰与任城王澄谋，以陈显达去尚未远，恐其覆相掩逼，乃秘不发丧，徙御卧舆，唯二王与左右数人知之。勰出入神色无异，奉膳，进药，可决外奏，一如平日。数日，至宛城，夜，进卧舆于郡听事，得加棺敛，还载卧舆内，外莫有知者。遣中书舍人张儒奉诏征太子；密以凶问告留守于烈。烈处分行留，举止无变。太子至鲁阳，遇梓宫，乃发丧；丁巳，卽位，大赦。

When they laid him on the bank he was already fast asleep, with one hand clutching the rope so tight that they could not get it from his grasp; and fast asleep he remained in spite of all they could do.

彭城王勰跪授遗敕数纸。东宫官属多疑勰有异志，密防之，而勰推诚尽礼，卒无间隙。咸阳王禧至鲁阳，留城外以察其变。久之，乃入，谓勰曰：“汝此行不唯勤劳，亦实危险。”勰曰：“兄年长识高，故知有夷险；彦和握蛇骑虎，不觉艰难。”禧曰：“汝恨吾后至耳。”

They were still standing over him, cursing their ill luck, and Bombur's clumsiness, and lamenting the loss of the boat which made it impossible for them to go back and look for the hart, when they became aware of the dim blowing of horns in the wood and the sound as of dogs baying far off.

勰等以高祖遗诏赐冯后死。北海王详使长秋卿白整入授后药，后走呼，不肯饮，曰：“官岂有此，是诸王辈杀我耳！”整执持强之，乃饮药而卒。丧至洛城南，咸阳王禧等知后审死，相视曰：“设无遗诏，我兄弟亦当决策去之；岂可令失行妇人宰制天下，杀我辈也！”谥曰幽皇后。

Then they all fell silent; and as they sat it seemed they could hear the noise of a great hunt going by to the north of the path, though they saw no sign of it.

There they sat for a long while and did not dare to make a move. Bombur slept on with a smile on his fat face, as if he no longer cared for all the troubles that vexed them.

五月，癸亥，加抚军大将军始安王遥光开府仪同三司。

Suddenly on the path ahead appeared some white deer, a hind and fawns as snowy white as the hart had been dark.

They glimmered in the shadows. Before Thorin could cry out three of the dwarves had leaped to their feet and loosed off arrows from their bows.

丙申，魏葬孝文帝于长陵，庙号高祖。

None seemed to find their mark. The deer turned and vanished in the trees as silently as they had come, and in vain the dwarves shot their arrows after them.

"Stop! stop!" shouted Thorin; but it was too late, the excited dwarves had wasted their last arrows, and now the bows that Beorn had given them were useless.

魏世宗欲以彭城王勰为相；勰屡陈遗旨，请遂素怀，帝对之悲恸。勰恳请不已，乃以勰为使持节、侍中、都督冀‖定等七州诸军事、骠骑大将军、开府仪同三司、定州刺史。勰犹固辞，帝不许，乃之官。

They were a gloomy party that night, and the gloom gathered still deeper on them in the following days.

They had crossed the enchanted stream; but beyond it the path seemed to straggle on just as before, and in the forest they could see no change.

魏任城王澄以王肃羁旅，位加己上，意颇不平。会齐人降者严叔懋告肃谋逃还江南，澄辄禁止肃，表称谋叛；案验无实。咸阳王禧等奏澄擅禁宰辅，免官还第，寻出为雍州刺史。

Yet if they had known more about it and considered the meaning of the hunt and the white deer that had appeared upon their path, they would have known that they were at last drawing towards the eastern edge, and would soon have come, if they could have kept up their courage and their hope, to thinner trees and places where the sunlight came again.

ヱヨぁもシ

六月，戊辰，魏追尊皇妣高氏为文昭皇后，配飨高祖，增修旧冢，号终宁陵。追赐后父扬爵勃海公，谥曰敬，以其嫡孙猛袭爵；封后兄肇为平原公，肇弟显为澄城公；三人同日受封。魏主素未识诸舅，始赐衣帻引见，皆惶惧失措；数日之间，富贵赫奕。

But they did not know this, and they were burdened with the heavy body of Bombur, which they had to carry along with them as best they could, taking the wearisome task in turns of four each while the others shared their packs.

If these had not become all too light in the last few days, they would never have managed it; but a slumbering and smiling Bombur was a poor exchange for packs filled with food however heavy. In a few days a time came when there was practically nothing left to eat or to drink.

秋，八月，戊申，魏用高祖遗诏，三夫人以下皆遣还家。

Nothing wholesome could they see growing in the woods, only funguses and herbs with pale leaves and unpleasant smell.

帝自在东宫，不好学，唯嬉戏无度；性重涩少言。及卽位，不与朝士相接，专亲信宦官及左右御刀、应敕等。

About four days from the enchanted stream they came to a part where most of the trees were beeches. They were at first inclined to be cheered by the change, for here there was no undergrowth and the shadow was not so deep. There was a greenish light about them, and in places they could see some distance to either side of the path.

Yet the light only showed them endless lines of straight grey trunks like the pillars of some huge twilight hall. There was a breath of air and a noise of wind, but it had a sad sound.

是时，扬州刺史始安王遥光、尚书令徐孝嗣、右仆射江祏、右将军萧坦之、侍中江祀，卫尉刘暄更直内省，分日帖敕。雍州刺史萧衍闻之，谓从舅录事参军范阳张弘策曰：“一国三公犹不堪，况六贵同朝，势必相图，乱将作矣。避祸图福，无如此州，但诸弟在都，恐罹世患，当更与益州图之耳。”乃密与弘策修武备，他人皆不得预谋。招聚骁勇以万数，多伐材竹，沈之檀溪，积茅如冈阜，皆不之用。中兵参军东平吕僧珍觉其意，亦私具橹数百张。先是，僧珍为羽林监，徐孝嗣欲引置其府，僧珍知孝嗣不能久，固求从衍。是时，衍兄懿罢益州刺史还，仍行郢州事，衍使弘策说懿曰：“今六贵比肩，人自画敕，争权睚眦，理相图灭。主上自东宫素无令誉，媟近左右，慓轻忍虐，安肯委政诸公，虚坐主诺！嫌忌积久，必大行诛戮。始安欲为赵王伦，形迹已见；然性猜量狭，徒为祸阶。萧坦之忌克陵人，徐孝嗣听人穿鼻，江祏无断，刘暄闇弱；一朝祸发，中外土崩，吾兄弟幸守外藩，宜为身计；及今猜防未生，当悉召诸弟，恐异时拔足无路矣。郢州控带荆、湘，雍州士马精强，世治则竭诚本朝，世乱则足以匡济；与时进退，此万全之策也。若不早图，后悔无及。”弘策又自说懿曰：“以卿兄弟英武，天下无敌，据郢、雍二州为百姓请命，废昏立明，易于反掌，此桓、文之业也。勿为竖子所欺，取笑身后。雍州揣之已熟，愿善图之！”懿不从。衍乃迎其弟骠骑外兵参军伟及西中郎外兵参军憺至襄阳。

A few leaves came rustling down to remind them that outside autumn was coming on. Their feet ruffled among the dead leaves of countless other autumns that drifted over the banks of the path from the deep red carpets of the forest.

初，高宗虽顾命羣公，而多寄腹心在江祏兄弟。二江更直殿内，动止关之。帝稍欲行意，徐孝嗣不能夺，萧坦之时有异同，而祏执制坚确，帝深忿之。帝左右会稽茹法珍、吴兴梅虫儿等，为帝所委任，祏常裁折之，法珍等切齿。徐都嗣谓祏曰：“主上稍有异同，讵可尽相乖反！”祏曰：“但以见付，必无所忧。”

Still Bombur slept and they grew very weary. At times they heard disquieting laughter.

帝失德寖彰，祏议废帝，立江夏王宝玄。刘暄尝为宝玄郢州行事，执事过刻。有人献马，宝玄欲观之，暄曰：“马何用观！”妃索煑肫，帐下咨暄，暄曰：“旦已煑鹅，不烦复此。”宝玄恚曰：“舅殊无渭阳情。”暄由是忌宝玄，不同祏议，更欲立建安王宝寅。祏密谋于始安王遥光，遥光自以年长，欲自取，以微旨动祏。祏弟祀亦以少主难保，劝祏立遥光。祏意回惑，以问萧坦之，坦之时居母丧，起复为领军将军，谓祏曰：“明帝立，已非次，天下至今不服。若复为此，恐四方瓦解，我期不敢言耳。”遂还宅行丧。

Sometimes there was singing in the distance too. The laughter was the laughter of fair voices not of goblins, and the singing was beautiful, but it sounded eerie and strange, and they were not comforted, rather they hurried on from those parts with what strength they had left.

Two days later they found their path going downwards and before long they were in a valley filled almost entirely with a mighty growth of oaks.

祏、祀密谓吏部郎谢朓曰：“江夏年少，脱不堪负荷，岂可复行废立！始安年长，入纂不乖物望。非以此要富贵，政是求安国家耳。”遥光又遣所亲丹阳丞南阳刘沨密致意于朓，欲引以为党，朓不答。顷之，遥光以朓兼知卫尉事，朓惧，卽以祏谋告太子右卫率左兴盛，兴盛不敢发。朓又说刘暄曰：“始安一旦南面，则刘沨、刘晏居卿今地，但以卿为反复人耳。”晏者，遥光城局参军也。暄阳惊，驰告遥光及祏。遥光欲出朓为东阳郡，朓常轻祏，祏固请除之。遥光乃收朓付廷尉，与孝嗣、祏、暄等连名启“朓扇动内外，妄贬乘舆，窃论宫禁，间谤亲贤，轻议朝宰。”朓遂死狱中。

"Is there no end to this accursed forest?" said Thorin.

暄以遥光若立，己失元舅之尊，不肯同祏议；故祏迟疑久不决。遥光大怒，遣左右黄昙庆刺暄于青溪桥。昙庆见暄部伍多，不敢发；暄觉之，遂发祏谋，帝命收祏兄弟。时祀直内殿，疑有异，遣信报祏曰：“刘暄似有异谋。今作何计？”祏曰：“政当静以镇之。”俄有诏召祏入见，停中书省。初，袁文旷以斩王敬则功当封，祏执不与；帝使文旷取祏，文旷以刀环筑其心曰：“复能夺我封不！”并弟祀皆死。刘暄闻祏等死，眠中大惊，投出户外，问左右：“收至未？”良久，意定，还坐，大悲曰：“不念江，行自痛也！”

"Somebody must climb a tree and see if he can get his head above the roof and have a look round. The only way is to choose the tallest tree that overhangs the path."
