ベヹコラハむょヘは

Sing we now softly, and dreams let us weave him!Wind him in slumber and there let us leave him!The wanderer sleepeth. Now soft be his pillow!Lullaby! Lullaby! Alder and Willow!

Sigh no more Pine, till the wind of the morn!Fall Moon! Dark be the land!Hush! Hush! Oak, Ash, and Thorn!Hushed be all water, till dawn is at hand!

癸巳，周立皇子鲁公赟为太子，大赦。

"Well, Merry People!" said Bilbo looking out. "What time by the moon is this? Your lullaby would waken a drunken goblin! Yet I thank you."

"And your snores would waken a stone dragon — yet we thank you," they answered with laughter. "It is drawing towards dawn, and you have slept now since the night's beginning. Tomorrow, perhaps, you will be cured of weariness."

ろぽぴデじぞムふや

"A little sleep does a great cure in the house of Elrond," said he; "but I will take all the cure I can get. A second good night, fair friends!" And with that he went back to bed and slept till late morning.

五月，癸卯，王劢卒。

Weariness fell from him soon in that house, and he had many a merry jest and dance, early and late, with the elves of the valley. Yet even that place could not long delay him now, and he thought always of his own home. After a week, therefore, he said farewell to Elrond, and giving him such small gifts as he would accept, he rode away with Gandalf. Even as they left the valley the sky darkened in the West before them, and wind and rain came up to meet them.

"Merry is May-time!" said Bilbo, as the rain beat into his face. "But our back is to legends and we are coming home. I suppose this is a first taste of it."

ヹほポイもダ

齐尚书右仆射祖珽，势倾朝野，左丞相咸阳王斛律光恶之，遥见，辄骂曰：“多事乞索小人，欲行何计！”又尝谓诸将曰：“兵马处分，赵令恒与吾辈参论。盲人掌机密以来，全不与吾辈语，正恐误国家事耳。”光尝在朝堂垂帘坐；珽不知，乘马过其前，光怒曰：“小人乃敢尔！”后珽在内省，言声高慢，光适过，闻之，又怒。珽觉之，私赂光从奴问之，奴曰：“自公用事，相王每夜抱膝叹曰："盲人入，国必破矣！"”

穆提婆求娶光庶女，不许。齐主赐提婆晋阳田，光言于朝曰：“此田，神武帝以来常种禾，饲马数千匹，以拟寇敌。今赐提婆，无乃阙军务也。”由是祖、穆皆怨之。

"There is a long road yet," said Gandalf.

"But it is the last road," said Bilbo. They came to the river that marked the very edge of the borderland of the Wild, and to the ford beneath the steep bank, which you may remember. The water was swollen both with the melting of the snows at the approach of summer, and with the daylong rain; but they crossed with some difficulty, and pressed forward, as evening fell, on the last stage of their journey. This was much as it had been before, except that the company was smaller, and more silent; also this time there were no trolls.

斛律后无宠，珽因而间之。光弟羡，为都督、幽州刺史、行台尚书令，亦善治兵，士马精强，鄣候严整，突厥畏之，谓之“南可汗”。光长子武都，为开府仪同三司、梁‖兖二州刺史。

At each point on the road Bilbo recalled the happenings and the words of a year ago-it seemed to him more like ten-so that, of course, he quickly noted the place where the pony had fallen in the river, and they had turned aside for their nasty adventure with Tom and Bert and Bill. Not far from the road they found the gold of the trolls, which they had buried, still hidden and untouched. "I have enough to last me my time," said Bilbo, when they had dug it up. "You had better take this, Gandalf. I daresay you can find a use for it."

"Indeed I can!" said the wizard. "But share and share alike! You may find you have more needs than you expect."

なびオワごハゔヾヤ

光虽贵极人臣，性节俭，不好声色，罕接宾客，杜绝馈饷，不贪权势。每朝廷会议，常独后言，言辄合理。或有表疏，令人执笔，口占之，务从省实。行兵仿其父金之法，营舍未定，终不入幕；或竟日不坐，身不脱介冑，常为士卒先。士卒有罪，唯大杖挝背，未尝妄杀，众皆争为之死。自结发从军，未尝败北，深为邻敌所惮。周勋州刺史韦孝宽密为谣言曰：“百升飞上天，明月照长安。”又曰：“高山不推自崩，槲木不扶自举。”令谍人传之于邺，邺中小儿歌之于路。珽因续之曰：“盲老公背受大斧，饶舌老母不得语。”使其妻兄郑道盖奏之。帝以问珽，珽与陆令萱皆曰：“实闻有之。”珽因解之曰：“百升者，斛也。盲老公，谓臣也，与国同忧。饶舌老母，似谓女侍中陆氏也。且斛律累世大将，明月声震关西，丰乐威行突厥，女为皇后，男尚公主，谣言甚可畏也。”帝以问韩长鸾，长鸾以为不可，事遂寝。

珽又见帝，请间，唯何洪珍在侧，帝曰：“前得公启，卽欲施行，长鸾以为无此理。”珽未对，洪珍进曰：“若本无意则可；旣有此意而不决行，万一泄露，如何？”帝曰：“洪珍言是也。”然犹未决。会丞相府佐封士让密启云：“光前西讨还，敕令散兵，光引兵逼帝城，将行不轨，事不果而止。家藏弩甲，僮奴千数，每遣使往丰乐、武都所，阴谋往来。若不早图，恐事不可测。”帝遂信之，谓何洪珍曰：“人心亦大灵，我前疑其欲反，果然。”帝性怯，恐卽有变，令洪珍驰召祖珽告之：“欲召光，恐其不从命。”珽请：“遣使赐以骏马，语云："明日将游东山，王可乘此同行。"光必入谢，因而执之。”帝如其言。

So they put the gold in bags and slung them on the ponies, who were not at all pleased about it. After that their going was slower, for most of the time they walked. But the land was green and there was much grass through which the hobbit strolled along contentedly. He mopped his face with a red silk handkerchief-no! not a single one of his own had survived, he had borrowed this one from Elrond —for now June had brought summer, and the weather was bright and hot again.

六月，戊辰，光入，至凉风堂，刘桃枝自后扑之，不仆，顾曰：“桃枝常为如此事。我不负国家。”桃枝与三力士以弓弦罥其颈，拉而杀之，血流于地，刬之，迹终不灭。于是下诏称其欲反，并杀其子开府仪同三司世雄、仪同三司恒伽。

As all things come to an end, even this story, a day came at last when they were in sight of the country where Bilbo had been born and bred, where the shapes of the land and of the trees were as well known to him as his hands and toes. Coming to a rise he could see his own Hill in the distance, and he stopped suddenly and said:

ゕずせヶハ゠ヌゕぬ

卷一七一 陈纪五（二）

祖珽使二千石郎邢祖信簿录光家。珽于都省问所得物，祖信曰：“得弓十五，宴射箭百，刀七，赐矟二。”珽厉声曰：“更得何物？”曰：“得枣杖二十束，拟奴仆与人鬬者，不问曲直，卽杖之一百。”珽大惭，乃下声曰：“朝廷已加重刑，郎中何宜为雪！”及出。人尤其抗直，祖信慨然曰：“贤宰相尚死，我何惜余生！”

Roads go ever ever on,Over rock and under tree,By caves where never sun has shone,By streams that never find the sea;

Over snow by winter sown,And through the merry flowers of June,Over grass and over stone,And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever onUnder cloud and under star,Yet feet that wandering have goneTurn at last to home afar.

Eyes that fire and sword have seenAnd horror in the halls of stoneLook at last on meadows greenAnd trees and hills they long have known.

齐主遣使就州斩斛律武都，又遣中领军贺拔伏恩乘驿捕斛律羡，仍以洛州行台仆射中山独孤永业代羡，与大将军鲜于桃枝发定州骑卒续进。伏恩等至幽州，门者白：“使人衷甲，马有汗，宜闭城门。”羡曰：“敕使岂可疑拒！”出见之。伏恩执而杀之。初，羡常以盛满为惧，表解所职，不许。临刑，叹曰：“富贵如此，女为皇后，公主满家，常使三百兵，何得不败！”及其五子伏护、世达、世迁、世辨、世酋皆死。

Gandalf looked at him. "My dear Bilbo!" he said. "Something is the matter with you! You are not the hobbit that you were."

And so they crossed the bridge and passed the mill by the river and came right back to Bilbo's own door. "Bless me! What's going on?" he cried. There was a great commotion, and people of all sorts, respectable and unrespectable, were thick round the door, and many were going in and out-not even wiping their feet on the mat, as Bilbo noticed with annoyance.

ぉサキバァラゅも

周主闻光死，为之大赦。

祖珽与侍中高元海共执齐政。元海妻，陆令萱之甥也，元海数以令萱密语告珽。珽求为领军，齐主许之，元海密言于帝曰：“孝征汉人，两目又盲，岂可为领军！”因言珽与广宁王孝珩交结，由是中止。珽求见，自辨，且言：“臣与元海素嫌，必元海谮臣。”帝弱颜，不能讳，以实告之，珽因元海与司农卿尹子华等结为朋党。又以元海所泄密语告令萱，令萱怒，出元海为郑州刺史。子华等皆被黜。

あおねへほ

珽自是专主机衡，总知骑兵、外兵事，内外亲戚，皆得显位。帝常令中要人扶侍出入，直至永巷，每同御榻论决政事，委任之重，羣臣莫比。

秋，七月，遣使如周。

If he was surprised, they were more surprised still. He had arrived back in the middle of an auction! There was a large notice in black and red hung on the gate, stating that on June the Twenty-second Messrs. Grubb, Grubb, and Bun-owes would sell by auction the effects of the late Bilbo Baggins Esquire, of Bag-End, Underhill, Hobbiton.

Sale to commence at ten o'clock sharp. It was now nearly lunch-time, and most of the things had already been sold, for various prices from next to nothing to old songs (as is not unusual at auctions). Bilbo's cousins the Sackville-Bagginses were, in fact, busy measuring his rooms to see if their own furniture would fit. In short Bilbo was "Presumed Dead," and not everybody that said so was sorry to find the presumption wrong.

八月，庚午，齐废皇后斛律氏为庶人。以任城王湝为右丞相，冯翊王润为太尉，兰陵王长恭为大司马，广宁王孝珩为大将军，安德王延宗为大司徒。

齐使领军封辅相聘于周。

The return of Mr. Bilbo Baggins created quite a disturbance, both under the Hill and over the Hill, and across the Water; it was a great deal more than a nine days' wonder.

辛未，周使司城中大夫杜杲来聘。上谓之曰：“若欲合从图齐，宜以樊、邓见与。”对曰：“合从图齐，岂弊邑之利！必须城镇，宜待得之于齐，先索汉南，使臣不敢闻命。”

The legal bother, indeed, lasted for years. It was quite a long time before Mr. Baggins was in fact admitted to be alive again. The people who had got specially good bargains at the Sale took a deal of convincing; and in the end to sav6 time Bilbo had to buy back quite a lot of his own furniture.

Many of his silver spoons mysteriously disappeared and were never accounted for. Personally he suspected the Sackville-Bagginses. On their side they never admitted that the returned Baggins was genuine, and they were not on friendly terms with Bilbo ever after. They really had wanted to live in his nice hobbit-hole so very much.

初，齐胡太后自愧失德，欲求悦于齐主，乃饰其兄长仁之女置宫中，令帝见之，帝果悦，纳为昭仪。及斛律后废，陆令萱欲立穆夫人；太后欲立胡昭仪，力不能遂，乃卑辞厚礼以求令萱，结为姊妹。令萱亦以胡昭仪宠幸方隆，不得已，与祖珽白帝立之。戊子，立皇后胡氏。

Indeed Bilbo found he had lost more than spoons — he had lost his reputation. It is true that for ever after he remained an elf-friend, and had the honour of dwarves, wizards, and all such folk as ever passed that way; but he was no longer quite respectable.

ぢブヽでヾゴケゎ

 

He was in fact held by all the hobbits of the neighbourhood to be 'queer'-except by his nephews and nieces on the Took side, but even they were not encouraged in their friendship by their elders. I am sorry to say he did not mind. He was quite content; and the sound of the kettle on his hearth was ever after more musical than it had been even in the quiet days before the Unexpected Party. His sword he hung over the mantelpiece.

己丑，齐以北平王仁坚为尚书令，特进许季良为左仆射，彭城王宝德为右仆射。

His coat of mail was arranged on a stand in the hall (until he lent it to a Museum). His gold and silver was largely spent in presents, both useful and extravagant — which to a certain extent accounts for the affection of his nephews and his nieces. His magic ring he kept a great secret, for he chiefly used it when unpleasant callers came. He took to writing poetry and visiting the elves; and though many shook their heads and touched their foreheads and said "Poor old Baggins!" and though few believed any of his tales, he remained very happy to the end of his days, and those were extraordinarily long.

ぬンャ

癸巳，齐主如晋阳。

One autumn evening some years afterwards Bilbo was sitting in his study writing his memoirs — he thought of calling them "There and Back Again, a Hobbit's Holiday" — when there was a ring at the door. It was Gandalf and a dwarf; and the dwarf was actually Balin.

"Come in! Come in!" said Bilbo, and soon they were settled in chairs by the fire. If Balin noticed that Mr. Baggins' waistcoat was more extensive (and had real gold buttons), Bilbo also noticed that Balm's beard was several inches longer, and his jewelled belt was of great magnificence.

九月，庚子朔，日有食之。

They fell to talking of their times together, of course, and Bilbo asked how things were going in the lands of the Mountain. It seemed they were going very well. Bard had rebuilt the town in Dale and men had gathered to him from the Lake and from South and West, and all the valley had become tilled again and rich, and the desolation was now filled with birds and blossoms in spring and fruit and feasting in autumn. And Lake-town was refounded and was more prosperous than ever, and much wealth went up and down the Running River; and there was friendship in those parts between elves and dwarves and men.

冬，十月，庚午，周诏：“江陵所虏充官口者，悉免为民。”

The old Master had come to a bad end. Bard had given him much gold for the help of the Lake-people, but being of the kind that easily catches such disease he fell under the dragon-sickness, and took most of the gold and fled with it, and died of starvation in the Waste, deserted by his companions.

"The new Master is of wiser kind," said Balin, "and very popular, for, of course, he gets most of the credit for the present prosperity. They are making songs which say that in his day the rivers run with gold."

ざっねきベヤヾ

辛未，周遣小匠师杨勰等来聘。

周绥德公陆通卒。

"Then the prophecies of the old songs have turned out to be true, after a fashion!" said Bilbo.

"Of course!" said Gandalf. "And why should not they prove true? Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!"

齐陆令萱欲立穆昭仪为皇后，私谓齐主曰：“岂有男为皇太子而身为婢妾者乎！”胡后有宠于帝，不可离间。令萱乃使人行厌蛊之术，旬朔之间，胡后精神恍惚，言笑无恒，帝渐畏而恶之。令萱一旦忽以皇后服御衣被昭仪，又别造宝帐，爰及枕席器玩，莫非珍奇。坐昭仪于帐中，谓帝曰：“有一圣女出，将大家看之。”及见昭仪，令萱乃曰：“如此人不作皇后，遣何物人作！”帝纳其言。

"Thank goodness!" said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar.

They had very sharp eyes, and being the youngest of the dwarves by some fifty years they usually got these sort of jobs (when everybody could see that it was absolutely no use sending Bilbo).

甲午，立穆氏为右皇后，以胡氏为左皇后。

There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something (or so Thorin said to the young dwarves).

You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after. So it proved on this occasion.

づヹむしニィゆ

十一月，庚戌，周主行如羌桥，集长安以东诸军都督以上，颁赐有差。乙卯，还宫。以赵公招为大司马。壬申，周主如斜谷，集长安已西都督以上，颁赐有差。丙戌，还宫。

庚寅，周主游道会苑，以上善殿壮丽，焚之。

Soon Fili and Kili came crawling back, holding on to the rocks in the wind. "We have found a dry cave," they said, "not far round the next corner; and ponies and all could get inside."

"Have you thoroughly explored it?" said the wizard, who knew that caves up in the mountains were seldom unoccupied.

十二月，辛巳，周主祀南郊。

"Yes, yes!" they said, though everybody knew they could not have been long about it; they had come back too quick. "It isn't all that big, and it does not go far back."

That, of course, is the dangerous part about caves: you don't know how far they go back, sometimes, or where a passage behind may lead to, or what is waiting for you inside.

齐胡后之立，非陆令萱意，令萱一旦于太后前作色而言曰：“何物亲侄，作如此语！”太后问其故，令萱曰：“不可道。”固问之，乃曰：“语大家云："太后行多非法，不可以训。"”太后大怒，呼后出，立剃其发，送还家。辛丑，废胡后为庶人。然齐主犹思之，每致物以通意。

But now Fili and Kill's news seemed good enough. So they all got up and prepared to move. The wind was howling and the thunder still growling, and they had a business getting themselves and their ponies along.

自是令萱与其子侍中穆提婆势倾内外，卖官鬻狱，聚敛无厌。每一赐与，动倾府藏。令萱则自太后以下，皆受其指麾；提婆则唐邕之徒，皆重足屏气；杀生予夺，唯意所欲。

Still it was not very far to go, and before long they came to a big rock standing out into the path. If you stepped behind, you found a low arch in the side of the mountain.

There was just room to get the ponies through with a squeeze, when they had been unpacked and unsaddled.

めずゟき゘ギれダめ

乙巳，周以柱国田弘为大司空。

乙卯，周主享太庙。

As they passed under the arch, it was good to hear the wind and the rain outside instead of all about them, and to feel safe from the giants and their rocks. But the wizard was taking no risks.

He lit up his wand - as he did that day in Bilbo's dining-room that seemed so long ago, if you remember—, and by its light they explored the cave from end to end.

是岁，突厥木杆可汗卒，复舍其子大逻便而立其弟，是为佗钵可汗。佗钵以摄图为尔伏可汗，统其东面；又以其弟褥但可汗之子为步离可汗，居西面。周人与之和亲，岁给缯絮锦彩十万段。突厥在长安者，衣锦食肉，常以千数。齐人亦畏其为寇，争厚赂之。佗钵益骄，谓其下曰：“但使我在南两儿常孝，何忧于贫！”

It seemed quite a fair size, but not too large and mysterious. It had a dry floor and some comfortable nooks.

At one end there was room for the ponies; and there they stood (mighty glad of the change) steaming, and champing in their nosebags. Oin and Gloin wanted to light a fire at the door to dry their clothes, but Gandalf would not hear of it.

阿史那后无宠于周主，神武公窦毅尚襄阳公主，生女尚幼，密言于帝曰：“今齐、陈鼎峙，突厥方强，愿舅抑情慰抚，以生民为念！”帝深纳之。

So they spread out their wet things on the floor, and got dry ones out of their bundles; then they made their blankets comfortable, got out their pipes and blew smoke rings, which Gandalf turned into different colours and set dancing up by the roof to amuse them.

They talked and talked, and forgot about the storm, and discussed what each would do with his share of the treasure (when they got it, which at the moment did not seem so impossible); and so they dropped off to sleep one by one.

宣帝太建五年（癸巳，公元五七三年）

And that was the last time that they used the ponies, packages, baggages, tools and paraphernalia that they had brought with them.

あゲイヨ

春，正月，癸酉，以吏部尚书沈君理为右仆射。

It turned out a good thing that night that they had brought little Bilbo with them, after all. For somehow, he could not go to sleep for a long while; and when he did sleep, he had very nasty dreams. He dreamed that a crack in the wall at the back of the cave got bigger and bigger, and opened wider and wider, and he was very afraid but could not call out or do anything but lie and look.

Then he dreamed that the floor of the cave was giving way, and he was slipping-beginning to fall down, down, goodness knows where to.

戊寅，齐以并省尚书令高阿那肱录尚书事，总知外兵及内省机密，与侍中城阳王穆提婆、领军大将军昌黎王韩长鸾共处衡轴，号曰“三贵”，蠹国害民，日月滋甚。

At that he woke up with a horrible start, and found that part of his dream was true. A crack had opened at the back of the cave, and was already a wide passage. He was just in time to see the last of the ponies' tails disappearing into it. Of course he gave a very loud yell, as loud a yell as a hobbit can give, which is surprising for their size.

长鸾弟万岁，子宝行、宝信，并开府仪同三司，万岁仍兼侍中，宝行、宝信皆尚公主。每羣臣旦参，帝常先引长鸾顾访，出后，方引奏事官。若不视事，内省有急奏事，皆附长鸾奏闻，军国要密，无不经手。尤疾士人，朝夕宴私，唯事谮诉。常带刀走马，未尝安行，嗔目张拳，有噉人之势。朝士咨事，莫敢仰视，动致呵叱。每骂云：“汉狗大不可耐，唯须杀之！”

Out jumped the goblins, big goblins, great ugly-looking goblins, lots of goblins, before you could say rocks and blocks.

There were six to each dwarf, at least, and two even for Bilbo; and they were all grabbed and carried through the crack, before you could say tinder and flint.

庚辰，齐遣崔象来聘。

But not Gandalf. Bilbo's yell had done that much good. It had wakened him up wide in a splintered second, and when goblins came to grab him, there was a terrible flash like lightning in the cave, a smell like gunpowder, and several of them fell dead.

辛巳，上祀南郊；甲午，享太庙；二月，辛丑，祀明堂。

The crack closed with a snap, and Bilbo and the dwarves were on the wrong side of it! Where was Gandalf?

乙巳，齐立右皇后穆氏为皇后。穆后母名轻霄，本穆氏之婢也，面有黥字。后旣以陆令萱为母，穆提婆为外家，号令萱曰“太姬”。太姬者，齐皇后母号也，视一品，班在长公主上。由是不复问轻霄。轻霄自疗面，欲求见后，太姬使禁掌之，竟不得见。

Of that neither they nor the goblins had any idea, and the goblins did not wait to find out.

It was deep, deep, dark, such as only goblins that have taken to living in the heart of the mountains can see through.

齐主颇好文学。丙午，祖珽奏置文林馆，多引文学之士以充之，谓之待诏；以中书侍郎博陵李德林、黄门侍郎琅邪颜之推同判馆事，又命共撰修文殿御览。

The passages there were crossed and tangled in all directions, but the goblins knew their way, as well as you do to the nearest post-office; and the way went down and down, and it was most horribly stuffy.

甲寅，周太子赟巡省西土。

The goblins were very rough, and pinched unmercifully, and chuckled and laughed in their horrible stony voices; and Bilbo was more unhappy even than when the troll had picked him up by his toes. He wished again and again for his nice bright hobbit-hole. Not for the last time.

乙卯，齐以北平王坚录尚书事。丁巳，齐主如晋阳。

Now there came a glimmer of a red light before them. The goblins began to sing, or croak, keeping time with the flap of their flat feet on the stone, and shaking their prisoners as well.

壬戌，周遣司会侯莫陈凯等聘于齐。

It sounded truly terrifying.

帝谋伐齐，公卿各有异同，唯镇前将军吴明彻决策请行。帝谓公卿曰：“朕意已决，卿可共举元帅。”众议以中权将军淳于量位重，共署推之。尚书左仆射徐陵独曰：“吴明彻家在淮左，悉彼风俗；将略人才，当今亦无过者。”都官尚书河东裴忌曰：“臣同徐仆射。”陵应声曰：“非但明彻良将，裴忌卽良副也。”壬午，分命众军，以明彻都督征讨诸军事，忌监军事，统众十万伐齐。明彻出秦郡，都督黄法｛奭毛｝出历阳。

夏，四月，己亥，周主享太庙。

The walls echoed to the clap, snap! and the crush, smash! and to the ugly laughter of their ho, ho! my lad! The general meaning of the song was only too plain; for now the goblins took out whips and whipped them with a swish, smack!, and set them running as fast as they could in front of them; and more than one of the dwarves were already yammering and bleating like anything, when they stumbled into a big cavern.

It was lit by a great red fire in the middle, and by torches along the walls, and it was full of goblins. They all laughed and stamped and clapped their hands, when the dwarves (with poor little Bilbo at the back and nearest to the whips) came running in, while the goblin-drivers whooped and cracked their whips behind.

癸卯，前巴州刺史鲁广达与齐师战于大岘，破之。

The ponies were already there huddled in a corner; and there were all the baggages and packages lying broken open, and being rummaged by goblins, and smelt by goblins, and fingered by goblins, and quarreled over by goblins.

I am afraid that was the last they ever saw of those excellent little ponies, including a jolly sturdy little white fellow that Elrond had lent to Gandalf, since his horse was not suitable for the mountain-paths. For goblins eat horses and ponies and donkeys (and other much more dreadful things), and they are always hungry.

戊申，齐以兰陵王长恭为太保，南阳王绰为大司马，安德王延宗为太尉，武兴王普为司徒，开府仪同三司宜阳王赵彦深为司空。

Just now however the prisoners were thinking only of themselves. The goblins chained their hands behind their backs and linked them all together in a line and dragged them to the far end of the cavern with little Bilbo tugging at the end of the row.

There in the shadows on a large flat stone sat a tremendous goblin with a huge head, and armed goblins were standing round him carrying the axes and the bent swords that they use. Now goblins are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones.

やゔやゲきタルゑ

齐人于秦郡置秦州，州前江浦通涂水，齐人以大木为栅于水中。辛亥，吴明彻遣豫章内史程文季将骁勇拔其栅，克之。文季，灵洗之子也。

齐人议御陈师，开府仪同三司王纮曰：“官军比屡失利，人情骚动。若复出顿江、淮，恐北狄、西寇乘弊而来。莫若薄赋省徭，息民养士，使朝廷辑睦，遐迩归心。天下皆当肃清，岂直陈氏而已。”不从。遣军救历阳，庚申，黄法｛奭毛｝击破之。又遣开府仪同三司尉破胡、长孙洪略救秦州。

They can tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty. Hammers, axes, swords, daggers, pickaxes, tongs, and also instruments of torture, they make very well, or get other people to make to their design, prisoners and slaves that have to work till they die for want of air and light.

It is not unlikely that they invented some of the machines that have since troubled the world, especially the ingenious devices for killing large numbers of people at once, for wheels and engines and explosions always delighted them, and also not working with their own hands more than they could help; but in those days and those wild parts they had not advanced (as it is called) so far.

赵彦深私问计于秘书监源文宗曰：“吴贼侏张，遂至于此。弟往为秦、泾刺史，悉江、淮间情事，今何术以御之？”文宗曰：“朝廷精兵，必不肯多付诸将；数千已下，适足为吴人之饵。尉破胡人品，王之所知。败绩之事，匪朝伊夕。国家待遇淮南，失之同于蒿箭。如文宗计者，不过专委王琳，招募淮南三四万人，风俗相通，能得死力；兼令旧将将兵屯于淮北。且琳之于顼，必不肯北面事之，明矣。窃谓此计之上者。若不推赤心于琳，更遣余人掣肘，复成速祸，弥不可为。”彦深叹曰：“弟此策诚足制胜千里，但口舌争之十日，已不见从。时事至此，安可尽言！”因相顾流涕。文宗名彪，以字行，子恭之子也。

They did not hate dwarves especially, no more than they hated everybody and everything, and particularly the orderly and prosperous; in some parts wicked dwarves had even made alliances with them.

But they had a special grudge against Thorin's people, because of the war which you have heard mentioned, but which does not come into this tale; and anyway goblins don't care who they catch, as long as it is done smart and secret, and the prisoners are not able to defend themselves.

卷一七一 陈纪五（三）

"Who are these miserable persons?" said the Great Goblin.

文宗子师为左外兵郎中，摄祠部，尝白高阿那肱：“龙见当雩。”阿那肱惊曰：“何处龙见？其色如何？”师曰：“龙星初见，礼当雩祭，非真龙也。”阿那肱怒曰：“汉儿多事，强知星宿！”遂不祭。师出，窃叹曰：“礼旣废矣，齐能久乎！”

"Dwarves, and this!" said one of the drivers, pulling at Bilbo's chain so that he fell forward onto his knees.

"We found them sheltering in our Front Porch."

ゾゥヸチ

齐师选长大有膂力者为前队，又有苍头、犀角、大力，其锋甚锐，又有西域胡，善射，弦无虚发，众军尤惮之。辛酉，战于吕梁。将战，吴明彻谓巴山太守萧摩诃曰：“若殪此胡，则彼军夺气，君才不减关羽矣。”摩诃曰：“愿示其状，当为公取之。”明彻乃召降人有识胡者，使指示之，自酌酒以饮摩诃。摩诃饮毕，驰马冲齐军。胡挺身出陈前十余步，彀弓未发，摩诃遥掷铣鋧，正中其额，应手而仆。齐军大力十余人出战，摩诃又斩之。于是齐军大败，尉破胡走，长孙洪略战死。

破胡之出师也，齐人使侍中王琳与之俱。琳谓破胡曰：“吴兵甚锐，宜以长策制之，慎勿轻鬬！”破胡不从而败，琳单骑仅免，还，至彭城，齐人卽使之赴寿阳召募以拒陈师，复以卢潜为扬州道行台尚书。

"What do you mean by it?" said the Great Goblin turning to Thorin. "Up to no good, I'll warrant! Spying on the private business of my people, I guess! Thieves, I shouldn't be surprised to learn! Murderers and friends of Elves, not unlikely! Come! What have you got to say?"

"Thorin the dwarf at your service!" he replied-it was merely a polite nothing. "Of the things which you suspect and imagine we had no idea at all. We sheltered from a storm in what seemed a convenient cave and unused; nothing was further from our thoughts than inconveniencing goblins in any way whatever." That was true enough!

甲子，南谯太守徐槾克石梁城。五月，己巳，瓦梁城降。癸酉，阳平郡降。甲戌，徐槾克庐江城。历阳窘蹙乞降，黄法｛奭毛｝缓之，则又拒守。法｛奭毛｝怒，帅卒急攻，丙子，克之，尽杀戍卒。进军合肥，合肥望旗请降，法｛奭毛｝禁侵掠，抚劳戍卒，与之盟而纵之。

"Urn!" said the Great Goblin. "So you say! Might I ask what you were doing up in the mountains at all, and where you were coming from, and where you were going to? In fact I should like to know all about you. Not that it willdo you much good, Thorin Oakenshield, I know too much about your folk already; but let's have the truth, or I will prepare something particularly uncomfortable for you!"

"We were on a journey to visit our relatives, our nephews and nieces, and first, second, and third cousins, and the other descendants of our grandfathers, who live on the East side of these truly hospitable mountains," said Thorin, not quite knowing what to say all at once in a moment, when obviously the exact truth would not do at all.

丁丑，周以柱国侯莫陈琼为大宗伯，荥阳公司马消难为大司寇，江陵总管陆腾为大司空。琼，崇之弟也。

"He is a liar, O truly tremendous one!" said one of the drivers. "Several of our people were struck by lightning in the cave, when we invited these creatures to come below; and they are as dead as stones. Also he has not explained this!" He held out the sword which Thorin had worn, the sword which came from the Trolls' lair.

The Great Goblin gave a truly awful howl of rage when he looked at it, and all his soldiers gnashed their teeth, clashed their shields, and stamped.

己卯，齐北高唐郡降。辛巳，诏南豫州刺史黄法｛奭毛｝徒镇历阳。乙酉，南齐昌太守黄咏克齐昌外城。丙戌，庐陵内史任忠军于东关，克其东、西二城，进克蕲城；戊子，又克谯郡城。秦州城降。癸巳，瓜步、胡墅二城降。帝以秦郡，吴明彻之乡里，诏具太牢，令拜祠上冢，文武羽仪甚盛，乡人荣之。

They knew the sword at once. It had killed hundreds of goblins in its time, when the fair elves of Gondolin hunted them in the hills or did battle before their walls.

ジまヽぬヷゴ

齐自和士开用事以来，政体隳紊。及祖珽执政，颇收举才望，内外称美。珽复欲增损政务，沙汰人物，官号服章，并依故事。又欲黜诸阉竖及羣小辈，为致治之方，陆令萱、穆提婆议颇同异。珽乃讽御史中丞丽伯律，令劾主书王子冲纳赂。知其事连提婆，欲使赃罪相及，望因此并坐及令萱。犹恐齐主溺于近习，欲引后党为援，乃请以胡后兄君瑜为侍中、中领军；又征君瑜兄梁州刺史君璧，欲以为御史中丞。令萱闻而怀怒，百方排毁，出君瑜为金紫光禄大夫，解中领军；君璧还镇梁州。胡后之废，颇亦由此。释王子冲不问。

They had called it Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver, but the goblins called it simply Biter. They hated it and hated worse any one that carried it.

"Murderers' and elf-friends!" the Great Goblin shouted. "Slash them! Beat them! Bite them!

珽日以益疏，诸宦者更共谮之。帝以问陆令萱，令萱悯默不对，三问，乃下床拜曰：“老婢应死。老婢始闻和士开言孝征多才博学，意谓善人，故举之。比来观之，大是奸臣。人寔难知，老婢应死。”帝令韩长鸾检按。长鸾素恶珽，得其诈出敕受赐等十余事。帝以尝与之重誓，故不杀，解珽侍中、仆射，出为北徐州刺史。珽求见帝，长鸾不许，遣人推出柏合，珽坐，不肯行，长鸾令牵曳而出。

Gnash them! Take them away to dark holes full of snakes, and never let them see the light again!" He was in such a rage that he jumped off his seat and himself rushed at Thorin with his mouth open.

癸巳，齐以领军穆提婆为尚书左仆射，侍中、中书监段孝言为右仆射。孝言，韶之弟也。初，祖珽执政，引孝言为助，除吏部尚书。孝言凡所进擢，非贿则旧，求仕者或于广会膝行跪伏，公自陈请，孝言颜色扬扬，以为己任，随事酬许。将作丞崔成忽于众中抗言曰：“尚书，天下尚书，岂独段家尚书也！”孝言无辞以应，唯厉色遣下而已。旣而与韩长鸾等共构祖珽，逐而代之。

Just at that moment all the lights in the cavern went out, and the great fire went off poof! into a tower of blue glowing smoke, right up to the roof, that scattered piercing white sparks all among the goblins.

The yells and yammering, croaking, jibbering and jabbering; howls, growls and curses; shrieking and skriking, that followed were beyond description. Several hundred wild cats and wolves being roasted slowly alive together would not have compared with it. The sparks were burning holes in the goblins, and the smoke that now fell from the roof made the air too thick for even their eyes to see through. Soon they were falling over one another and rolling in heaps on the floor, biting and kicking and fighting as if they had all gone mad.

齐兰陵武王长恭，貌美而勇，以邙山之捷，威名大盛，武士歌之，为兰陵王入陈曲，齐主忌之。及代段韶督诸军攻定阳，颇务聚敛，其所亲尉相愿问之曰：“王受朝寄，何得如此？”长恭未应。相愿曰：“岂非以邙山之捷，欲自秽乎？”长恭曰：“然。”相愿曰：“朝廷若忌王，卽当用此为罪，无乃避祸而更速之乎！”长恭涕泣前膝问计，相愿曰：“王前旣有功，今复告捷，声威太重。宜属疾在家，勿预时事。”长恭然其言，未能退。及江、淮用兵，恐复为将，叹曰：“我去年面肿，今何不发！”自是有疾不疗。齐主遣使酖杀之。

Suddenly a sword flashed in its own light. Bilbo saw it go right through the Great Goblin as he stood dumbfounded in the middle of his rage. He fell dead, and the goblin soldiers fled before the sword shrieking into the darkness.

六月，郢州刺史李综克滠口城。乙巳，任忠克合州外城。庚戌，淮阳，沭阳郡皆弃城走。

The sword went back into its sheath. "Follow me quick!" said a voice fierce and quiet; and before Bilbo understood what had happened he was trotting along again, as fast as he could trot, at the end of the line, down more dark passages with the yells of the goblin-hall growing fainter behind him. A pale light was leading them on.

壬子，周皇孙衍生。

"Quicker, quicker!" said the voice. "The torches will soon be relit."

"Half a minute!" said Dori, who was at the back next to Bilbo, and a decent fellow. He made the hobbit scramble on his shoulders as best he could with his tied hands, and then off they all went at a run, with a clink-clink of chains, and many a stumble, since they had no hands to steady themselves with. Not for a long while did they stop, and by that time they must have been right down in the very mountain's heart.

齐主游南苑，从官赐死者六十人。以高阿那肱为司徒。

Then Gandalf lit up his wand. Of course it was Gandalf; but just then they were too busy to ask how he got there. He took out his sword again, and again it flashed in the dark by itself. It burned with a rage that made it gleam if goblins were about; now it was bright as blue flame for delight in the killing of the great lord of the cave. It made no trouble whatever of cutting through the goblin-chains and setting all the prisoners free as quickly as possible. This sword's name was Glamdring the Foe-hammer, if you remember. The goblins just called it Beater, and hated it worse than Biter if possible. Orcrist, too, had been saved; for Gandalf had brought it along as well, snatching it from one of the terrified guards. Gandalf thought of most things; and though he could not do everything, he could do a great deal for friends in a tight comer.

"Are we all here?" said he, handing his sword back to Thorin with a bow. "Let me see: one-that's Thorin; two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven; where are Fili and Kili? Here they are, twelve, thirteen-and here's Mr. Baggins: fourteen! Well, well! it might be worse, and then again it might be a good deal better. No ponies, and no food, and no knowing quite where we are, and hordes of angry goblins just behind! On we go!"

ポヴネせゴねだ

癸丑，程文季攻齐泾州，拔之。乙卯，宣毅司马湛陀克新蔡城。

丙辰，齐使开府仪同三司王纮聘于周。

On they went. Gandalf was quite right: they began to hear goblin noises and horrible cries far behind in the passages they had come through. That sent them on faster than ever, and as poor Bilbo could not possibly go half as fast-for dwarves can roll along at a tremendous pace, I can tell you, when they have to-they took it in turn to carry him on their backs.

Still goblins go faster than dwarves, and these goblins knew the way better (they had made the paths themselves), and were madly angry; so that do what they could the dwarves heard the cries and howls getting closer and closer. Soon they could hear even the flap of the goblin feet, many many feet which seemed only just round the last corner. The blink of red torches could be seen behind them in the tunnel they were following; and they were getting deadly tired.

癸亥，黄法｛奭毛｝克合州。吴明彻进攻仁州，甲子，克之。

"Why, O why did I ever leave my hobbit-hole!" said poor Mr. Baggins bumping up and down on Bombur's back.

"Why, O why did I ever bring a wretched little hobbit on a treasure hunt!" said poor Bombur, who was fat, and staggered along with the sweat dripping down his nose in his heat and terror.

治明堂。

At this point Gandalf fell behind, and Thorin with him. They turned a sharp corner. "About turn!" he shouted. "Draw your sword, Thorin!"

There was nothing else to be done; and the goblins did not like it. They came scurrying round the corner in full cry, and found Goblin-cleaver and Foe-hammer shining cold and bright right in their astonished eyes. The ones in front dropped their torches and gave one yell before they were killed. The ones behind yelled still more, and leaped back knocking over those that were running after them. "Biter and Beater!" they shrieked; and soon they were all in confusion, and most of them were hustling back the way they had come.

齐巴陵王王琳与扬州刺史王贵显保寿阳外郭，吴明彻以琳初入，众心未固，丙戌，乘夜攻之，城溃，齐兵退据相国城及金城。

It was quite a long while before any of them dared to turn that comer. By that time the dwarves had gone on again, a long, long, way on into the dark tunnels of the goblins' realm. When the goblins discovered that, they put out their torches and they slipped on soft shoes, and they chose out their very quickest runners with the sharpest ears and eyes. These ran forward, as swift as weasels in the dark, and with hardly any more noise than bats.

That is why neither Bilbo, nor the dwarves, nor even Gandalf heard them coming. Nor did they see them. But they were seen by the goblins that ran silently up behind, for Gandalf was letting his wand give out a faint light to help the dwarves as they went along.

Quite suddenly Dori, now at the back again carrying Bilbo, was grabbed from behind in the dark. He shouted and fell; and the hobbit rolled off his shoulders into the blackness, bumped his head on hard rock, and remembered nothing more.

Chapter 5 Riddles in the Dark

壬午，周太子赟纳妃杨氏。妃，大将军随公坚之女也。

When Bilbo opened his eyes, he wondered if he had; for it was just as dark as with them shut. No one was anywhere near him. Just imagine his fright! He could hear nothing, see nothing, and he could feel nothing except the stone of the floor.

太子好昵近小人，左宫正宇文孝伯言于周主曰：“皇太子四海所属，而德声未闻。臣忝宫官，实当其责。且春秋尚少，志业未成，请妙选正人，为其师友，调护圣质，犹望日就月将。如或不然，悔无及矣！”帝敛容曰：“卿世载鲠直，竭诚所事。观卿此言，有家风矣。”孝伯拜谢曰：“非言之难，受之难也。”帝曰：“正人岂复过卿！”于是以尉迟运为右宫正。运，迥之弟子也。

Very slowly he got up and groped about on all fours, till he touched the wall of the tunnel; but neither up nor down it could he find anything: nothing at all, no sign of goblins, no sign of dwarves. His head was swimming, and he was far from certain even of the direction they had been going in when he had his fall. He guessed as well as he could, and crawled along for a good way, till suddenly his hand met what felt like a tiny ring of cold metal lying on the floor of the tunnel.

It was a turning point in his career, but he did not know it. He put the ring in his pocket almost without thinking; certainly it did not seem of any particular use at the moment. He did not go much further, but sat down on the cold floor and gave himself up to complete miserableness, for a long while.

帝尝问万年县丞南阳乐运曰：“卿言太子何如人？”对曰：“中人。”帝顾谓齐公宪曰；“百官佞我，皆称太子聪明睿智。唯运所言忠直耳。”因问运中人之状。对曰：“如齐桓公是也：管仲相之则霸，竖貂辅之则乱，可与为善，可与为恶。”帝曰：“我知之矣。”乃妙选宫官以辅之，仍擢运为京兆丞。太子闻之，意甚不悦。

He thought of himself frying bacon and eggs in his own kitchen at home - for he could feel inside that it was high time for some meal or other; but that only made him miserabler.

癸未，沈君理卒。

He could not think what to do; nor could he think what had happened; or why he had been left behind; or why, if he had been left behind, the goblins had not caught him; or even why his head was so sore. The truth was he had been lying quiet, out of sight and out of mind, in a very dark corner for a long while.

After some time he felt for his pipe. It was not broken, and that was something. Then he felt for his pouch, and there was some tobacco in it, and that was something more. Then he felt for matches and he could not find any at all, and that shattered his hopes completely. Just as well for him, as he agreed when he came to his senses.

ゝヂヶよペガラ

壬辰晦，前鄱阳内史鲁天念克黄城。甲午，郭默城降。

己亥，以特进领国子祭酒周弘正为尚书右仆射。

Goodness knows what the striking of matches and the smell of tobacco would have brought on him out of dark holes in that horrible place. Still at the moment he felt very crushed. But in slapping all his pockets and feeling all round himself for matches his hand came on the hilt of his little sword - the little dagger that he got from the trolls, and that he had quite forgotten; nor do the goblins seem to have noticed it, as he wore it inside his breeches.

Now he drew it out. It shone pale and dim before his eyes. "So it is an elvish blade, too," he thought; "and goblins are not very near, and yet not far enough."

齐国子祭酒张雕，以经授齐主为侍读，帝甚重之。雕与宠胡何洪珍相结，穆提婆、韩长鸾等恶之。洪珍荐雕为侍中，加开府仪同三司，奏度支事，大为帝所委信，常呼“博士”。雕自以出于微贱，致位大臣，欲立效以报恩，论议抑扬，无所回避，省宫掖不急之费，禁约左右骄纵之臣，数讥切宠要，献替帷幄，帝亦深倚仗之。雕遂以澄清为己任，意气甚高，贵幸皆侧目。

But somehow he was comforted. It was rather splendid to be wearing a blade made in Gondolin for the goblin-wars of which so many songs had sung; and also he had noticed that such weapons made a great impression on goblins that came upon them suddenly.

"Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.

尚书左丞封孝琰，隆之之弟子，与侍中崔季舒，皆为祖珽所厚。孝琰尝谓珽曰：“公是衣冠宰相，异于余人。”近习闻之，大以为恨。

Now certainly Bilbo was in what is called a tight place. But you must remember it was not quite so tight for him as it would have been for me or for you. Hobbits are not quite like ordinary people; and after all if their holes are nice cheery places and properly aired, quite different from the tunnels of the goblins, still they are more used to tunnelling than we are, and they do not easily lose their sense of direction underground-not when their heads have recovered from being bumped. Also they can move very quietly, and hide easily, and recover wonderfully from falls and bruises, and they have a fund of wisdom and wise sayings that men have mostly never heard or have forgotten long ago.

I should not have liked to have been in Mr. Baggins' place, all the same. The tunnel seemed to have no end. All he knew was that it was still going down pretty steadily and keeping in the same direction in spite of a twist and a turn or two. There were passages leading off to the side every now and then, as he knew by the glimmer of his sword, or could feel with his hand on the wall. Of these he took no notice, except to hurry past for fear of goblins or half-imagined dark things coming out of them.

ぬ぀ふ

会齐主将如晋阳，季舒与张雕议，以为：“寿阳被围，大军出拒之，信使往还，须禀节度。且道路小人，或相惊恐，以为大驾向幷州，畏避南寇。若不启谏，恐人情骇动。”遂与从驾文官连名进谏。时贵臣赵彦深、唐邕、段孝言等，意有异同，季舒与争，未决。长鸾遽言于帝曰：“诸汉官连名总署，声云谏幸幷州，其实未必不反，宜加诛戮。”辛丑，齐主悉召已署名者集含章殿，斩季舒、雕、孝琰及散骑常侍刘逖、黄门侍郎裴泽、郭遵于殿庭，家属皆徙北边，妇女配奚官，幼男下蚕室，没入赀产。癸卯，遂如晋阳。

吴明彻攻寿阳，堰肥水以灌城，城中多病肿泄，死者什六七。齐行台右仆射琅邪皮景和等救寿阳，以尉破胡新败，怯懦不敢前，屯于淮口，敕使屡促之。然始渡淮，众数十万，去寿阳三十里，顿军不进。诸将皆惧，曰：“坚城未拔，大援在近，将若之何？”明彻曰：“兵贵神速，而彼结营不进，自挫其锋，吾知其不敢战，明矣。”乙巳，躬擐甲冑，四面疾攻，一鼓拔之，生擒王琳、王贵显、卢潜及扶风王可朱浑道裕、尚书左丞李騊駼送建康。景和北遁，尽收其驼马辎重。

On and on he went, and down and down; and still he heard no sound of anything except the occasional whirr of a bat by his ears, which startled him at first, till it became too frequent to bother about. I do not know how long he kept on like this, hating to go on, not daring to stop, on, on, until he was tireder than tired. It seemed like all the way to tomorrow and over it to the days beyond.

Suddenly without any warning he trotted splash into water! Ugh! it was icy cold. That pulled him up sharp and short. He did not know whether it was just a pool in the path, or the edge of an underground stream that crossed the passage, or the brink of a deep dark subterranean lake. The sword was hardly shining at all. He stopped, and he could hear, when he listened hard, drops drip-drip-dripping from an unseen roof into the water below; but there seemed no other sort of sound.

卷一七一 陈纪五（四）

"So it is a pool or a lake, and not an underground river," he thought. Still he did not dare to wade out into the darkness. He could not swim; and he thought, too, of nasty slimy things, with big bulging blind eyes, wriggling in the water. There are strange things living in the pools and lakes in the hearts of mountains: fish whose fathers swam in, goodness only knows how many years ago, and never swam out again, while their eyes grew bigger and bigger and bigger from trying to see in the blackness; also there are other things more slimy than fish. Even in the tunnels and caves the goblins have made for themselves there are other things living unbeknown to them that have sneaked in from outside to lie up in the dark. Some of these caves, too, go back in their beginnings to ages before the goblins, who only widened them and joined them up with passages, and the original owners are still there in odd comers, slinking and nosing about.

Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don't know where he came from, nor who or what he was. He was Gollum — as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold. He paddled it with large feet dangling over the side, but never a ripple did he make. Not he. He was looking out of his pale lamp-like eyes for blind fish, which he grabbed with his long fingers as quick as thinking. He liked meat too. Goblin he thought good, when he could get it; but he took care they never found him out.

琳体貌闲雅，喜怒不形于色；强记内敏，军府佐吏千数，皆能识其姓名；刑罚不滥，轻财爱士，得将卒心；虽失地流寓在邺，齐人皆重其忠义。及被擒，故麾下将卒多在明彻军中，见者皆歔欷，不能仰视，争为之请命及致资给。明彻恐其为变，遣使追斩之于寿阳东二十里，哭者声如雷。有一叟以酒脯来祭，哭尽哀，收其血而去。田夫野老，知与不知，闻者莫不流涕。

He just throttled them from behind, if they ever came down alone anywhere near the edge of the water, while he was prowling about. They very seldom did, for they had a feeling that something unpleasant was lurking down there, down at the very roots of the mountain.

齐穆提婆、韩长鸾闻寿阳陷，握槊不辍，曰：“本是彼物，从其取去。”齐主闻之，颇以为忧，提婆等曰：“假使国家尽失黄河以南，犹可作一龟兹国。更可怜人生如寄，唯当行乐，何用愁为！”左右嬖臣因共赞和之，帝卽大喜，酣饮鼓舞，仍使于黎阳临河筑城戍。

They had come on the lake, when they were tunnelling down long ago, and they found they could go no further; so there their road ended in that direction, and there was no reason to go that way-unless the Great Goblin sent them. Sometimes he took a fancy for fish from the lake, and sometimes neither goblin nor fish came back.

Actually Gollum lived on a slimy island of rock in the middle of the lake. He was watching Bilbo now from the distance with his pale eyes like telescopes.

ニポピぃきばっョ

丁未，齐遣兵万人至颍口，樊毅击走之。辛亥，遣兵援苍陵，又破之。齐主以皮景和全军而还，赏之，除尚书令。

丙辰，诏以寿阳复为豫州，以黄城为司州。以明彻为都督豫‖合等六州诸军事、车骑大将军、豫州刺史，遣谒者萧淳风就寿阳册命，于城南设坛，士卒二十万，陈旗鼓戈甲。明彻登坛拜受，成礼而退，将卒荣之。上置酒，举杯属徐陵曰：“赏卿知人。”陵避席曰：“定策圣衷，非臣力也。”以黄法｛奭毛｝为征西大将军、合州刺史。

Bilbo could not see him, but he was wondering a lot about Bilbo, for he could see that he was no goblin at all.

Gollum got into his boat and shot off from the island, while Bilbo was sitting on the brink altogether flummoxed and at the end of his way and his wits. Suddenly up came Gollum and whispered and hissed:

戊午，湛陀克齐昌城。十一月，甲戌，淮阴城降。庚辰，威虏将军刘桃枝克朐山城。辛巳，樊毅克济阴城。己丑，鲁广达攻济南徐州，克之；以广达为北徐州刺史，镇其地。

"Bless us and splash us, my precioussss!

I guess it's a choice feast; at least a tasty morsel it'd make us, gollum!" And when he said gollum he made a horrible swallowing noise in his throat. That is how he got his name, though he always called himself 'my precious.'

齐北徐州民多起兵以应陈，逼其州城。祖珽命不闭城门，禁人不得出衢路，城中寂然。反者不测其故，疑人走城空，不设备。珽忽令鼓噪震天，反者皆惊走。旣而复结陈向城，珽令录事参军王君植将兵拒之，自乘马临陈左右射。反者先闻其盲，谓其必不能出，忽见之，大惊。穆提婆欲令城陷，不遣援兵，珽且战且守，十余日，反者竟散走。

The hobbit jumped nearly out of his skin when the hiss came in his ears, and he suddenly saw the pale eyes sticking out at him.

"Who are you?" he said, thrusting his dagger in front of him.

诏悬王琳首于建康市。故吏梁骠骑仓曹参军朱玚致书徐陵求其首，曰：“窃以典午将灭，徐广为晋家遗老；当涂已谢，马孚称魏室忠臣。梁故建宁公琳，当离乱之辰，总方伯之任，天厌梁德，尚思匡继，徒蕴包胥之志，终遘苌弘之眚，至使身没九泉，头行千里。伏惟圣恩博厚，明诏爰发，赦王经之哭，许田横之葬。不使寿春城下，唯传报葛之人；沧洲岛上，独有悲田之客。”陵为之启上。十二月，壬辰朔，并熊昙朗等首皆还其亲属。玚瘗琳于八公山侧，义故会葬者数千人。玚间道奔齐，别议迎葬，寻有寿阳人茅智胜等五人，密送其柩于邺。齐赠琳开府仪同三司、录尚书事，谥曰忠武王，给辒辌车以葬之。

"What iss he, my preciouss?" whispered Gollum (who always spoke to himself through never having anyone else to speak to). This is what he had come to find out, for he was not really very hungry at the moment, only curious; otherwise he would have grabbed first and whispered afterwards.

ドュあなやナャスす

癸巳，周主集羣臣及沙门、道士，帝自升高坐，辨三敎先后，以儒为先，道为次，释为后。

"I am Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I have lost the dwarves and I have lost the wizard, and I don't know where I am; and "I don't want to know, if only I can get ,away."

"What's he got in his handses?" said Gollum, looking at the sword, which he did not quite like.

乙未，谯城降。

"A sword, a blade which came out of Gondolin!"

乙巳，立皇子叔明为宜都王，叔献为河东王。

"Sssss," said Gollum, and became quite polite. "Praps ye sits here and chats with it a bitsy, my preciousss. It like riddles, praps it does, does it?" He was anxious to appear friendly, at any rate for the moment, and until he found out more about the sword and the hobbit, whether he was quite alone really, whether he was good to eat, and whether Gollum was really hungry.

Riddles were all he could think of. Asking them, and sometimes guessing them, had been the only game he had ever played with other funny creatures sitting in their holes in the long, long ago, before he lost all his friends and was driven away, alone, and crept down, down, into the dark under the mountains.

诏征安州刺史周炅入朝。初，梁定州刺史田龙升以城降，诏仍旧任。及炅入朝，龙升以江北六州、七镇叛入于齐，齐遣历阳王景安将兵应之。诏以炅为江北道大都督，总众军以讨龙升，斩之。景安退走，尽复江北之地。

"Very well," said Bilbo, who was anxious to agree, until he found out more about the creature, whether he was quite alone, whether he was fierce or hungry, and whether he was a friend of the goblins.

壬午，任忠克霍州。

"You ask first," he said, because he had not had time to think of a riddle.

是岁，突厥求婚于齐。

So Gollum hissed:

What has roots as nobody sees,Is taller than trees,Up, up it goes,And yet never grows?

宣帝太建六年（甲午，公元五七四年）

"Easy!" said Bilbo. "Mountain, I suppose."

"Does it guess easy? It must have a competition with us, my preciouss! If precious asks, and it doesn't answer, we eats it, my preciousss. If it asks us, and we doesn't answer, then we does what it wants, eh? We shows it the way out, yes!"

春，正月，壬戌朔，周齐公宪等七人进爵为王。

"All right!" said Bilbo, not daring to disagree, and nearly bursting his brain to think of riddles that could save him from being eaten.

Thirty white horses on a red hill,First they champ,Then they stamp,Then they stand still.

己巳，周主享太庙；乙亥，耕藉田。

That was all he could think of to ask-the idea of eating was rather on his mind. It was rather an old one, too, and Gollum knew the answer as well as you do.

"Chestnuts, chestnuts," he hissed. "Teeth! teeth! my preciousss; but we has only six!" Then he asked his second:

壬子，上享太庙。

Voiceless it cries,Wingless flutters,Toothless bites,Mouthless mutters.

ヮホセ・

甲申，广陵金城降。

"Half a moment!" cried Bilbo, who was still thinking uncomfortably about eating. Fortunately he had once heard something rather like this before, and getting his wits back he thought of the answer. "Wind, wind of course," he said, and he was so pleased that he made up one on the spot. "This'll puzzle the nasty little underground creature," he thought:

An eye in a blue faceSaw an eye in a green face."That eye is like to this eye"Said the first eye,"But in low place,Not in high place."

二月，壬午朔，日有食之。

"Ss, ss, ss," said Gollum. He had been underground a long long time, and was forgetting this sort of thing. But just as Bilbo was beginning to hope that the wretch would not be able to answer, Gollum brought up memories of ages and ages and ages before, when he lived with his grandmother in a hole in a bank by a river, "Sss, sss, my preciouss," he said.

乙未，齐主还邺。

"Sun on the daisies it means, it does."

But these ordinary aboveground everyday sort of riddles were tiring for him. Also they reminded him of days when he had been less lonely and sneaky and nasty, and that put him out of temper.

丁酉，周纪国公贤等六人进爵为王。

What is more they made him hungry; so this time he tried something a bit more difficult and more unpleasant:

齐朔州行台南安王思好，本高氏养子，骁勇，得边镇人心。齐主使嬖臣斫骨光弁至州，光弁不礼于思好，思好怒，遂反，云“欲入除君侧之恶。”进军至阳曲，自号大丞相。武卫将军赵海在晋阳，苍猝不暇奏，矫诏发兵拒之。帝闻变，使尚书令唐邕等驰之晋阳。辛丑，帝勒兵继进。未至，思好军败，投水死。其麾下二千人，刘桃枝围之，且杀且招，终不降，以至于尽。

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.It lies behind stars and under hills,And empty holes it fills.It comes first and follows after,Ends life, kills laughter.

先是，有人告思好谋反，韩长鸾女适思好子，奏言：“是人诬告贵臣，不杀无以息后。”乃斩之。思好旣诛，告者弟伏阙下求赠官，长鸾不为通。

Unfortunately for Gollum Bilbo had heard that sort of thing before; and the answer was all round him anyway.

"Dark!" he said without even scratching his head or putting on his thinking cap.

丁未，齐主还邺。甲寅，以唐邕为录尚书事。

A box without hinges, key, or lid,Yet golden treasure inside is hid,

乙卯，周主如云阳宫。

he asked to gain time, until he could think of a really hard one. This he thought a dreadfully easy chestnut, though he had not asked it in the usual words. But it proved a nasty poser for Gollum. He hissed to himself, and still he did not answer; he whispered and spluttered.
