ざッコョ

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."

魏遗使者刘善明来聘，始复通好。

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.

ゔア

"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.

武帝普通二年（辛丑，公元五二一年）

"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.

置孤独园于建康，以收养穷民。

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.

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.

魏南秦州氐反。

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.

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.

魏发近郡兵万五千人，使怀朔镇将杨钧将之，送柔然可汗阿那瓌返国。尚书左丞张普惠上疏，以为：“蠕蠕久为边患，今兹天降丧乱，荼毒其心，盖欲使之知有道之可乐，革面稽首以奉大魏也。陛下宜安民恭己以悦服其心。阿那瓌束身归命，抚之可也；乃更先自劳扰，兴师郊甸之内，投诸荒裔之外，救累世之勍敌，资天亡之丑虏。臣愚未见其可也。此乃边将贪窃一时之功，不思兵为凶器，王者不得已而用之。况今旱暵方甚，圣慈降膳，乃以万五千人使杨钧为将，欲定蠕蠕，干时而动，其可济乎！脱有颠覆之变，杨钧之肉，其足食乎！宰辅专好小名，不图安危大计，此微臣所以寒心者也。且阿那瓌之不还，负何信义，臣贱不及议，文书所过，不敢不陈。”阿那瓌辞于西堂，诏赐以军器、衣被、杂彩、粮畜，事事优厚，命侍中崔光等劳遣于外郭。

阿那瓌之南奔也，其从父兄婆罗门帅众数万入讨示发，破之，示发奔地豆干，地豆干杀之，国人推婆罗门为弥偶可社句可汗。杨钧表称：“柔然已立君长，恐未肯以杀兄之人郊迎其弟。轻往虚返，徒损国威。自非广加兵众，无以送其入北。”二月，魏人使旧尝奉使柔然者牒云具仁往谕婆罗门，使迎阿那瓌。

"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.

辛丑，上祀明堂。

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.

庚戌，魏使假抚军将军邴虬讨南秦叛氐。

魏元义、刘腾之幽胡太后也，右卫将军奚康生预其谋，义以康生为抚军大将军、河南尹，仍使之领左右。康生子难当娶侍中、左卫将军侯刚女，刚子，义之妹夫也，义以康生通姻，深相委托，三人率多俱宿禁中，时或迭出，以难当为千牛备身。康生性粗武，言气高下，义稍惮之，见于颜色，康生亦微惧不安。

"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.

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.

卷一四九 梁纪五（三）

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.

甲午，魏主朝太后于西林园，文武侍坐，酒酣迭舞，康生乃为力士儛，及折旋之际，每顾视太后，举手、蹈足、瞋目、颔首，为执杀之势，太后解其意而不敢言。日暮，太后欲携帝宿宣光殿，侯刚曰：“至尊已朝讫，嫔御在南，何必留宿！”康生曰：“至尊陛下之儿，随陛下将东西，更复访谁！”羣臣莫敢应。太后自起援帝臂，下堂而去。康生大呼，唱万岁。帝前入合，左右竞相排，合不得闭。康生夺难当千牛刀，斫直后元思辅，乃得定。帝旣升宣光殿，左右侍臣俱立西阶下。康生乘酒势将出处分，为义所执，锁于门下。光禄勋贾粲绐太后曰：“侍官怀恐不安，陛下宜亲安慰。”太后信之，适下殿，粲卽扶帝出东序，前御显阳殿，闭太后于宣光殿。至晚，义不出，令侍中、黄门、仆射、尚书等十余人就康生所讯其事，处康生斩刑，难当绞刑。义与刚并在内，矫诏决之，康生如奏，难当恕死从流。难当哭辞父，康生慷慨不悲，曰：“我不反死，汝何哭也？”时已昏闇，有司驱康生赴市，斩之；尚食典御奚混与康生同执刀入内，亦坐绞。难当以侯刚壻，得留百余日，竟流安州；久之，义使行台卢同就杀之。以刘腾为司空。八坐、九卿常旦造腾宅，参其颜色，然后赴省府，亦有终日不得见者。公私属请，唯视货多少，舟车之利，山泽之饶，所在榷固，刻剥六镇，交通互市，岁入利息以巨万万计，逼夺邻舍以广其居，远近苦之。

魏牒云具仁至柔然，婆罗门殊骄慢，无逊避心，责具仁礼敬；具仁不屈，婆罗门乃遣大臣丘升头等将兵二千随具仁迎阿那瓌。五月，具仁还镇，具道其状，阿那瓌惧，不敢进，上表请还洛阳。

辛巳，魏南荆州刺史恒叔兴据所部来降。

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.

癸卯，琬琰殿火，延烧后宫三千间。

秋，七月，丁酉，以大匠卿裴邃为信武将军，假节，督众军讨义州，破魏义州刺史封寿于檀公岘，遂围其城；寿请降，复取义州。魏以尚书左丞张普惠为行台，将兵救之，不及。

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.

以裴邃为豫州刺史，镇合肥。邃欲袭寿阳，阴结寿阳民李瓜花等为内应。邃已勒兵为期日，恐魏觉之，先移扬州云：“魏始于马头置戍，如闻复欲修白捺故城，若尔，便相侵逼，此亦须营欧阳，设交境之备。今板卒已集，唯听信还。”扬州刺史长孙稚谋于僚佐，皆曰：“此无修白捺之意，宜以实报之。”录事参军杨侃曰：“白捺小城，本非形胜；邃好狡数，今集兵遣移，恐有他意。”稚大寤曰：“录事可亟作移报之。”侃报移曰：“彼之纂兵，想别有意，何为妄构白捺！他人有心，予忖度之，勿谓秦无人也。”邃得移，以为魏人已觉，卽散其兵。瓜花等以失期，遂相告发，伏诛者十余家。稚，观之子；侃，播之子。

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.

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!"

九月，柔然可汗俟匿伐诣怀朔镇请兵，且迎阿那瓌。俟匿伐，阿那瓌之兄也。冬，十月，录尚书事高阳王雍等奏：“怀朔镇北吐若奚泉，原野平沃，请置阿那瓌于吐若奚泉，婆罗门于故西海郡，令各帅部落，收集离散。阿那瓌所居旣在境外，宜少优遣，婆罗门不得比之。其婆罗门未降以前蠕蠕归化者，悉令州镇部送怀朔镇以付阿那瓌。”诏从之。

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.

魏以东益、南秦氐皆反，庚辰，以秦州刺史河间王琛为行台以讨之。琛恃刘腾之势，贪暴无所畏忌，大为氐所败。中尉弹奏，会赦，除名，寻复王爵。

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.

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

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.

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

春，正月，庚子，以尚书令袁昂为中书监，吴郡太守王暕为尚书左仆射。

辛亥，魏主耕籍田。

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.

魏宋云与惠生自洛阳西行四千里，至赤岭，乃出魏境，又西行，再朞，至干罗国而还。二月，达洛阳，得佛经一百七十部。

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."

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

癸巳，大赦。

"What about your promise then?"

コザぷバべょん

乙巳，魏主祀圜丘。

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

But nothing they could say would change his mind.

初，太子统之未生也，上养临川王宏之子正德为子。正德少粗险，上卽位，正德意望东宫。及太子统生，正德还本，赐爵西丰侯。正德怏怏不满意，常蓄异谋。是岁，正德自黄门侍郎为轻车将军，顷之，亡奔魏，自称废太子避祸而来。魏尚书左仆射萧宝寅上表曰：“岂有伯为天子，父作扬州，弃彼密亲，远投他国！不如杀之。”由是魏人待之甚薄，正德乃杀一小儿，称为己子，远营葬地；魏人不疑，明年，复自魏逃归。上泣而诲之，复其封爵。

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

柔然阿那瓌求粟为种，魏与之万石。

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!"

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.

ルしきセごテク

武帝普通四年（癸卯，公元五二三年）

春，正月，辛卯，上祀南郊，大赦。丙午，祀明堂。二月，乙亥，耕藉田。

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.

柔然俟匿伐入朝于魏。

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."

夏，四月，魏元孚持白虎幡劳阿那瓌于柔玄、怀荒二镇之间。阿那瓌众号三十万，阴有异志，遂拘留孚，载以辒车。每集其众，坐孚东厢，称为行台，甚加礼敬。引兵而南，所过剽掠，至平城，乃听孚还。有司奏孚辱命，抵罪。甲申，魏遣尚书令李崇、左仆射元纂帅骑十万击柔然。阿那瓌闻之，驱良民二千、公私马牛羊数十万北遁，崇追之三千余里，不及而还。

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

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

ブゼヘにめがぼ

武卫将军于景，忠之弟也，谋废义，义黜为怀荒镇将。及柔然入寇，镇民请粮，景不肯给，镇民不胜忿，遂反，执景，杀之。未几，沃野镇民破六韩拔陵聚众反，杀镇将，改元真王，诸镇华、夷之民往往响应，拔陵引兵南侵，遣别帅卫可孤围武川镇，又攻怀朔镇。尖山贺拔度拔及其三子允、胜、岳皆有材勇，怀朔镇将杨钧擢度拔为统军，三子为军主以拒之。

秋，七月，辛亥，魏诏：“见在朝官，依令七十合解者，可给本官半禄，以终其身。”

"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!"

"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!"

九月，魏诏侍中、太尉汝南王悦入居门下，与丞相高阳王雍参决尚书奏事。

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.

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.

魏平恩文宣公崔光疾笃，魏主亲抚视之，拜其子励为齐州刺史，为之撤乐，罢游眺。丁酉，光卒，帝临，哭之恸，为减常膳。

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.

光且死，荐都官尚书贾思伯为侍讲。帝从思伯受春秋，思伯虽贵，倾身下士。或问思伯曰：“公何以能不骄？”思伯曰：“衰至便骄，何常之有！”当时以为雅谈。

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.

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.

ョひギ

甲辰，尚书左仆射王暕卒。

魏以汝南王悦为太保。

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

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."

起阏逢执徐（甲辰），尽旃蒙大荒落（乙巳），凡二年。

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

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.

春，正月，辛丑，魏主祀南郊。

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.

夏，四月，高平镇民赫连恩等反，推敕勒酋长胡琛为高平王，攻高平镇以应拔陵。魏将卢祖迁击破之，琛北走。

"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.

ウよンセがゴォス

魏主引丞相、令、仆、尚书、侍中、黄门于显阳殿，问之曰：“今寇连恒、朔，逼近金陵，计将安出？”吏部尚书元修义请遣重臣督军镇恒、朔以捍寇。帝曰：“去岁阿那瓌叛乱，遣李崇北征，崇上表求改镇为州，朕以旧章难革，不从其请。寻崇此表，开镇户非翼之心，致有今日之患；但旣往难追，聊复略论耳。然崇贵戚重望，器识英敏，意欲遣崇行，何如？”仆射萧宝寅等皆曰：“如此，实合羣望。”崇曰：“臣以六镇遐僻，密迩寇戎，欲以慰悦彼心，岂敢导之为乱！臣罪当就死，陛下赦之；今更遣臣北行，正是报恩改过之秋。但臣年七十，加之疲病，不堪军旅，愿更择贤材。”帝不许。修义，天赐之子也。

"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."

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.

臣光曰：李崇之表，乃所以销祸于未萌，制胜于无形。魏肃宗旣不能用，及乱生之后，曾无愧谢之言，乃更以为崇罪，彼不明之君，乌可与谋哉！诗云：“听言则对，诵言如醉，匪用其良，覆俾我悖。”其是之谓矣。

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.

壬申，加崇使持节、开府仪同三司、北讨大都督，命抚军将军崔暹、镇军将军广阳王深皆受崇节度。深，嘉之子也。

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

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.

初，南秦州豪右杨松柏兄弟，数为寇盗，刺史博陵崔游诱之使降，引为主簿，接以辞色，使说下羣氐，旣而因宴会尽收斩之，由是所部莫不猜惧。游闻李彦死，自知不安，欲逃去，未果；城民张长命、韩祖香、孙掩等攻游，杀之，以城应大提。大提遣其党卜胡袭高平，克之，杀镇将赫连略、行台高元荣。大提寻卒，子念生自称天子，置百官，改元天建。

"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:

崔暹违李崇节度，与破六韩拔陵战于白道，大败，单骑走还。拔陵幷力攻崇，崇力战，不能御，引还云中，与之相持。

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

广阳王深上言：“先朝都平城，以北边为重，盛简亲贤，拥麾作镇，配以高门子弟，以死防遏，非唯不废仕宦，乃更独得复除，当时人物，忻慕为之。太和中，仆射李冲用事，凉州土人悉免厮役；帝乡旧门，仍防边戍，自非得罪当世，莫肯与之为伍。本镇驱使，但为虞候、白直，一生推迁，不过军主；然其同族留京师者得上品通官，在镇者卽为清途所隔，或多逃逸。乃峻边兵之格，镇人不听浮游在外，于是少年不得从师，长者不得游宦，独为匪人，言之流涕！自定鼎伊、洛，边任益轻，唯底滞凡才，乃出为镇将，转相模习，专事聚敛。或诸方奸吏，犯罪配边，为之指踪，政以贿立，边人无不切齿。及阿那瓌背恩纵掠，发奔命追之，十五万众度沙漠，不日而还。边人见此援师，遂自意轻中国。尚书令臣崇求改镇为州，抑亦先觉，朝廷未许。而高阙戍主御下失和，拔陵杀之，遂相帅为乱，攻城略地，所过夷灭，王师屡北，贼党日盛。此段之举，指望销平；而崔暹只轮不返，臣崇与臣逡巡复路，相与还次云中，将士之情莫不解体。今日所虑，非止西北，将恐诸镇寻亦如此，天下之事，何易可量！”书奏，不省。

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

"Who'll cross first?" asked Bilbo.

丁丑，莫折念生遣其都督杨伯年等攻仇鸠、河池二戍，东益州刺史魏子建遣将军伊祥等击破之，斩首千余级。东益州本氐王杨绍先之国，将佐皆以城民劲勇，二秦反者皆其族类，请先收其器械，子建曰：“城民数经行阵，抚之足以为用，急之则腹背为患。”乃悉召城民，慰谕之，旣而渐分其父兄子弟外戍诸郡，内外相顾，卒无叛者。子建，兰根之族兄也。

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

魏凉州幢帅于菩提等执刺史宋颖，据州反。

"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."

魏以苗为统军，与别将淳于诞俱出梁、益，未至，莫折念生遣其弟高阳王天生将兵下陇。甲午，都督元志与战于陇口，志兵败，弃众东保岐州。

"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.

东西部敕勒皆叛魏，附于破六韩拔陵，魏主始思李崇及广阳王深之言。丙申，下诏：“诸州镇军贯非有罪配隶者，皆免为民。”改镇为州，以怀朔镇为朔州，更命朔州曰云州。遣兼黄门侍郎郦道元为大使，抚慰六镇。时六镇已尽叛，道元不果行。

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."

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.

めろバゲホびてシツゎ

戊戌，莫折念生遣都督窦双攻魏盘头郡，东益州刺史魏子建遣将军窦念祖击破之。

魏西道行台元修义得风疾，不能治军。壬申，魏以尚书左仆射齐王萧宝寅为西道行台大都督，帅诸将讨莫折念生。

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.

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.

宋颖密求救于吐谷浑王伏连筹，伏连筹自将救凉州，于菩提弃城走，追斩之。城民赵天安等复推宋颖为刺史。

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.

胡琛遣其将宿勤明达寇豳、夏、北华三州，魏遗都督北海王颢帅诸将讨之。颢，详之子也。

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.

ぇゴれ

魏使黄门侍郎卢同持节诣营州慰劳，就德兴降而复反。诏以同为幽州刺史兼尚书行台，同屡为德兴所败而还。

魏朔方胡反，围夏州刺史源子雍，城中食尽，煑马皮而食之，众无贰心。子雍欲自出求粮，留其子延伯守统万，将佐皆曰：“今四方离叛，粮尽援绝，不若父子俱去。”子雍泣曰：“吾世荷国恩，当毕命此城；但无食可守，故欲往东州，为诸君营数月之食，若幸而得之，保全必矣。”乃帅羸弱诣东夏州运粮，延伯与将佐哭而送之。子雍行数日，胡帅曹阿各拔邀击，擒之。子雍潜遣人赍书，敕城中努力固守。阖城忧惧，延伯谕之曰：“吾父吉凶不可知，方寸焦烂。但奉命守城，所为者重，不敢以私害公。诸君幸得此心。”于是众感其义，莫不奋励。子雍虽被擒，胡人常以民礼事之，子雍为陈祸福，劝阿各拔降。会阿各拔卒，其弟桑生竟帅其众随子雍降。子雍见行台北海王颢，具陈诸贼可灭之状，颢给子雍兵，令其先驱。时东夏州阖境皆反，所在屯结，子雍转鬬而前，九旬之中，凡数十战，遂平东夏州，征税粟以馈统万，二夏由是获全。子雍，怀之子也。

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.

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

贺拔度拔父子及武川宇文肱纠合乡里豪杰，共袭卫可孤，杀之；度拔寻与铁勒战死。肱，逸豆归之玄孙也。

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.

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.

莫折天生进攻魏岐州，十一月，戊申，陷之，执都督元志及刺史裴芬之，送莫折念生杀之。念生又使卜胡等寇泾州，败光禄大夫薛峦于平凉东。峦，安都之孙也。

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.

丙辰，彭宝孙拔魏东莞。壬戌，裴邃攻寿阳之安城，丙寅，马头、安城皆降。

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

Of course "somebody" meant Bilbo.

ネじっづへサれやギエ

十二月，戊寅，魏荆山降。

乙巳，武勇将军李国兴攻魏平静关；辛丑，信威长史杨干攻武阳关；壬寅，攻岘关；皆克之。国兴进围郢州，魏郢州刺史裴询与蛮酋西郢州刺史田朴特相表里以拒之。围城近百日，魏援军至，国兴引还。询，骏之孙也。

In the end he poked his head above the roof of leaves, and then he found spiders all right. But they were only small ones of ordinary size, and they were after the butterflies.

Bilbo's eyes were nearly blinded by the light. He could hear the dwarves shouting up at him from far below, but he could not answer, only hold on and blink.

魏魏子建招谕南秦诸氐，稍稍降附，遂复六郡十二戍，斩韩祖香。魏以子建兼尚书，为行台，刺史如故，梁、巴、二益、二秦诸州皆受节度。

He looked at the 'black emperors' for a long time, and enjoyed the feel of the breeze in his hair and on his face; but at length the cries of the dwarves, who were now simply stamping with impatience down below, reminded him of his real business. It was no good.

Actually, as I have told you, they were not far off the edge of the forest; and if Bilbo had had the sense to see it, the tree that he had climbed, though it was tall in itself, was standing near the bottom of a wide valley, so that from its top the trees seemed to swell up all round like the edges of a great bowl, and he could not expect to see how far the forest lasted.

是岁，侍中、太子詹事周舍坐事免，散骑常侍钱唐朱异代掌机密，军旅谋议，方镇改易，朝仪诏敕皆典之。异好文义，多艺能，精力敏赡，上以是任之。

"The forest goes on for ever and ever and ever in all directions! Whatever shall we do? And what is the use of sending a hobbit!" they cried, as if it was his fault.

That night they ate their very last scraps and crumbs of food; and next morning when they woke the first thing they noticed was that they were still gnawingly hungry, and the next thing was that it was raining and that here and there the drip of it was dropping heavily on the forest floor.

魏徐州刺史元法僧，素附元义，见义骄恣，恐祸及己，遂谋反。魏遣中书舍人张文伯至彭城，法僧谓曰：“吾欲与汝去危就安，能从我乎？”文伯曰：“我宁死见文陵松柏，安能去忠义而从叛逆乎！”法僧杀之。庚申，法僧杀行台高谅，称帝，改元天启，立诸子为王。魏发兵击之，法僧乃遣其子景仲来降。

He woke up suddenly and sat up scratching his head. He could not make out where he was at all, nor why he felt so hungry; for he had forgotten everything that had happened since they started their journey that May morning long ago.

ヅはょヹあ

莫折天生军于黑水，兵势甚盛。魏以岐州刺史崔延伯为征西将军、西道都督，帅众五万讨之。延伯与行台萧宝寅军于马嵬。延伯素骁勇，宝寅趣之使战，延伯曰：“明晨为公参贼勇怯。”乃选精兵数千西渡黑水，整陈向天生营；宝寅军于水东，遥为继援。延伯直抵天生营下，扬威胁之，徐引兵还。天生见延伯众少，争开营逐之，其众多于延伯十倍，蹙延伯于水次，宝寅望之失色。延伯自为后殿，不与之战，使其众先渡，部伍严整，天生兵不敢击。须臾，渡华，延伯徐渡，天生之众亦引还。宝寅喜曰：“崔君之勇，关、张不如。”延伯曰：“此贼非老奴敌也，明公但安坐，观老奴破之。”癸亥，延伯勒兵出，宝寅举军继其后。天生悉众逆战，延伯身先士卒，陷其前锋，将士尽锐竞进，大破之，俘斩十余万，追奔至小陇，岐、雍及陇东皆平。将士稽留采掠，天生遂塞陇道，由是诸军不能进。

"I was having such beautiful dreams. I dreamed I was walking in a forest rather like this one, only lit with torches on the trees and lamps swinging from the branches and fires burning on the ground; and there was a great feast going on, going on for ever.

"You need not try," said Thorin. "In fact if you can't talk about something else, you had better be silent. We are quite annoyed enough with you as it is. If you hadn't waked up, we should have left you to your idiotic dreams in the forest; you are no joke to carry even after weeks of short commons."

宝寅破宛川，俘其民以为奴婢，以美女十人赏岐州刺史魏兰根，兰根辞曰：“此县介于强寇，不能自立，故附从以救死。官军之至，宜矜而抚之，柰何助贼为虐，翦以为贱役乎！”悉求其父兄而归之。

There was nothing now to be done but to tighten the belts round their empty stomachs, and hoist their empty sacks and packs, and trudge along the track without any great hope of ever getting to the end before they lay down and died of starvation.

乙巳，裴邃拔魏新蔡郡，诏侍中、领军将军西昌侯渊藻将众前驱，南兖州刺史豫章王综与诸将继进。癸酉，裴邃拔郑城，汝、颍之间，所在响应。

This they did all that day, going very slowly and wearily, while Bombur kept on wailing that his legs would not carry him and that he wanted to lie down and sleep.

"No you don't!" they said. "Let your legs take their share, we have carried you far enough."

魏以安丰王延明为东道行台，临淮王彧为都督，以击彭城。

At that very moment Balin, who was a little way ahead, called out: "What was that? I thought I saw a twinkle of light in the forest."

二月，乙未，赵景悦拔魏龙亢。

Even Bombur got up, and they hurried along then, not caring if it was trolls or goblins.

初，魏刘腾旣卒，胡太后及魏主左右防卫微缓。元义亦自宽，时出游于外，留连不返，其所亲谏，义不纳；太后察知之。去秋，太后对帝谓羣臣曰：“今隔绝我母子，不听往来，复何用我为！我当出家，修道于嵩山闲居寺耳。”因欲自下发；帝及羣臣叩头泣涕，殷勤苦请，太后声色愈厉。帝乃宿于嘉福殿，积数日，遂与太后密谋黜义。然帝深匿形迹，太后有忿恚，欲得往来显阳之言，皆以告义；又对义流涕，叙太后欲出家，忧怖之心日有数四。义殊不以为疑，乃劝帝从太后所欲。于是太后数御显阳殿，二宫无复禁碍。义举元法僧为徐州，法僧反，太后数以为言，义深愧悔。

"It looks as if my dreams were coming true," gasped Bombur puffing up behind. He wanted to rush straight off into the wood after the lights.

"But without a feast we shan't remain alive much longer anyway," said Bombur, and Bilbo heartily agreed with him.

戊戌，魏大赦。

In the end, in spite of warnings, hunger decided them, because Bombur kept on describing all the good things that were being eaten, according to his dream, in the woodland feast; so they all left the path and plunged into the forest together.

壬辰，莫折念生遣都督杨鲊等攻仇池郡，行台魏子建击破之。

After a good deal of creeping and crawling they peered round the trunks and looked into a clearing where some trees had been felled and the ground levelled.
