Before setting out to search the western spurs of the Mountain for the hidden door, on which all their hopes rested, Thorin sent out a scouting expedition to spy out the land to the South where the Front Gate stood. For this purpose he chose Balin and Fili and Kili, and with them went Bilbo. They marched under the grey and silent cliffs to the feet of Ravenhill.
There the river, after winding a wide loop over the valley of Dale, turned from the Mountain on its road to the Lake, flowing swift and noisily. Its bank was bare and rocky, tall and steep above the stream; and gazing out from it over the narrow water, foaming and splashing among many boulders, they could see in the wide valley shadowed by the Mountain's arms the grey ruins of ancient houses, towers, and walls.
二月，丙子，安成王顼至建康，诏以为中书监、中卫将军。
"There lies all that is left of Dale," said Balin. "The mountain's sides were green with woods and all the sheltered valley rich and pleasant in the days when the bells rang in that town." He looked both sad and grim as he said this: he had been one of Thorin's companions on the day the Dragon came.
They did not dare to follow the river much further to. wards the Gate; but they went on beyond the end of the southern spur, until lying hidden behind a rock they could look out and see the dark cavernous opening in a great cliff-wall between the arms of the Mountain.

Out of it the waters of the Running River sprang; and out of it too there came a steam and a dark smoke. Nothing moved in the waste, save the vapour and the water, and every now and again a black and ominous crow. The only sound was the sound of the stony water, and every now and again the harsh croak of a bird. Balin shuddered.
上谓杜杲曰：“家弟今蒙礼遣，实周朝之惠；然鲁山不返，亦恐未能及此。”杲对曰：“安成，长安一布衣耳，而陈之介弟也，其价岂止一城而已哉！本朝敦睦九族，恕己及物，上遵太祖遗旨，下思继好之义，是以遣之南归。今乃云以寻常之土易骨肉之亲，非使臣之所敢闻也。”上甚惭，曰：“前言戏之耳。”待杲之礼有加焉。
"Let us return!" he said. "We can do no good here!— And I don't like these dark birds, they look like spies of evil."
"The dragon is still alive and in the halls under the Mountain then-or I imagine so from the smoke," said the hobbit.

"That does not prove it," said Balin, "though I don't doubt you are right. But he might be gone away some time, or he might be lying out on the mountain-side keeping watch, and still I expect smokes and steams would come out of the gates: all the halls within must be filled with his foul reek."
With such gloomy thoughts, followed ever by croaking crows above them, they made their weary way back to the camp. Only in June they had been guests in the fair house of Elrond, and though autumn was now crawling towards winter that pleasant time now seemed years ago. They were alone in the perilous waste without hope of further help. They were at the end of their journey, but as far as ever, it seemed, from the end of their quest. None of them had much spirit left.
甲申，大赦。
Now strange to say Mr. Baggins had more than the others. He would often borrow Thorin's map and gaze at it, pondering over the runes and the message of the moon-letters Elrond had read. It was he that made the dwarves begin the dangerous search on the western slopes for the secret door.
They moved their camp then to a long valley, narrower than the great dale in the South where the Gates of the river stood, and walled with lower spurs of the Mountain. Two of these here thrust forward west from the main mass in long steep-sided ridges that fell ever downwards towards the plain.

异党向文政据新安，上以贞毅将军程文季为新安太守，帅精甲三百轻往攻之。文政战败，遂降。文季，灵洗之子也。
On this western side there were fewer signs of the dragon's marauding feet, and there was some grass for their ponies. From this western camp, shadowed all day by cliff and wall until the sun began to sink towards the forest, day by day they toiled in parties searching for paths up the mountain-side. If the map was true, somewhere high above the cliff at the valley's head must stand the secret door. Day by day they came back to their camp without success.

But at last unexpectedly they found what they were seeking. Fili and Kili and the hobbit went back one day down the valley and scrambled among the tumbled rocks at its southern corner. About midday, creeping behind a great stone that stood alone like a pillar, Bilbo came on what looked like rough steps going upwards.

Following these excitedly he and the dwarves found traces of a narrow track, often lost, often rediscovered, that wandered on to the top of the southern ridge and brought them at last to a still narrower ledge, which turned north across the face of the Mountain. Looking down they saw that they were at the top of the cliff at the valley's head and were gazing down on to their own camp below.
Silently, clinging to the rocky wall on their right, they went in single file along the ledge, till the wall opened and they turned into a little steep-walled bay, grassy-floored, still and quiet. Its entrance which they had found could not be seen from below because of the overhang of the cliff, nor from further off because it was so small that it looked like a dark crack and no more.
It was not a cave and was open to the sky above; but at its inner end a flat wall rose up that in the lower I part, close to the ground, was as smooth and upright as mason's work, but without a joint or crevice to be seen.
"No sign was there of post or lintel or threshold, nor any sign of bar or bolt or key-hole; yet they did not doubt that they had found the door at last.
先是，周之君臣受封爵者皆未给租赋。癸亥，始诏柱国等贵臣邑户，听寄食他县。
They beat on it, they thrust and pushed at it, they implored it to move, they spoke fragments of broken spells of opening, and nothing stirred. At last tired out they. rested on the grass at its feet, and then at evening began, their long climb down.
There was excitement in the camp that night. In the morning they prepared to move once more. Only Bofur and Bombur were left behind to guard the ponies and such stores as they had brought with them from the river. The others went down the valley and up the newly found path, and so to the narrow ledge.

Along this they could carry no bundles or packs, so narrow and breathless was it, with a fall of a hundred and fifty feet beside them on to sharp rocks below; but each of them took a good coil of rope wound tight about his waist, and so at last without mishap they reached the little grassy bay.
There they made their third camp, hauling up what they needed from below with their ropes.
齐平秦王归彦至冀州，内不自安，欲待齐主如晋阳，乘虚入邺。其郎中令吕思礼告之。诏大司马段韶、司空娄叡讨之。归彦于南境置私驿，闻大军将至，卽闭城拒守。长史宇文仲鸾等不从，皆杀之。归彦自称大丞相，有众四万。齐主以都官尚书封子绘，冀州人，祖父世为本州岛刺史，得人心，使乘传至信都，巡城，谕以祸福。吏民降者相继，城中动静，小大皆知之。
归彦登城大呼云：“孝昭皇帝初崩，六军百万，悉在臣手，投身向邺，奉迎陛下。当时不反，今日岂反邪！正恨高元海、毕义云、高干和诳惑圣上，疾忌忠良，但为杀此三人，卽临城自刎。”旣而城破，单骑北走，至交津，获之，锁送邺。乙未，载以露车，衔木面缚。刘桃枝临之以刃，击鼓随之，并其子孙十五人皆弃市。命封子绘行冀州事。
Down the same way they were able occasionally to lower one of the more active dwarves, such as Kili, to exchange such news as there was, or to take a share in the guard below, while Bofur was hauled up to the higher camp. Bombur would not come up either the rope or the path.
齐主知归彦前谮清河王岳，以归彦家良贱百口赐岳家，赠岳太师。
"I am too fat for such fly-walks," he said. "I should turn dizzy and tread on my beard, and then you would be thirteen again. And the knotted ropes are too slender for my weight." Luckily for him that was not true, as you will see.
In the meanwhile some of them explored the ledge beyond the opening and found a path that led higher and higher on to the mountain; but they did not dare to venture very far that way, nor was there much use in it.
丁酉，以段韶为太傅，娄叡为司徒，平阳王淹为太宰，斛律光为司空，赵郡王叡为尚书令，河间王孝琬为左仆射。
Out up there a silence reigned, broken by no bird or sound except that of the wind in the crannies of stone. They spoke low and never called or sang, for danger brooded in every rock.
ゥテぴゴハやはイき
癸亥，齐主如晋阳。
The others who were busy with the secret of the door had no more success.
They were too eager to trouble about the runes or the moon-letters, but tried without resting to discover where exactly in the smooth face of the rock the door was hidden. They had brought picks and tools of many sorts from Lake-town, and at first they tried to use these.
But when they struck the stone the handles splintered and jarred their arms cruelly, and the steel heads broke or bent like lead. Mining work, they saw clearly was no good against the magic that had shut this door; and they grew terrified, too, of the echoing noise.
Bilbo found sitting on the doorstep lonesome and wearisome-there was not a doorstep, of course, really, but they used to call the little grassy space between the wall and the opening the "doorstep" in fun, remembering Bilbo's words long ago at the unexpected party in his hobbit-hole, when he said they could sit on the doorstep till they thought of something. And sit and think they did, or wandered aimlessly about, and glummer and glummer they became.
上遣使聘齐。
九月，戊辰朔，日有食之。
Their spirits had risen a little at the discovery of the path, but now they sank into their boots; and yet they would not give it up and go away. The hobbit was no longer much brighter than the dwarves.
以侍中、都官尚书到仲举为尚书右仆射、丹杨尹。仲举，溉之弟子也。
He would do nothing but sit with his back to the rock-face and stare away west through the opening, over the cliff, over the wide lands to the black wall of Mirkwood, and to the distances beyond, in which he sometimes thought he could catch glimpses of the Misty Mountains small and far. If the dwarves asked him what he was doing he answered:
"You said sitting on the doorstep and thinking would be my job, not to mention getting inside, so I am sitting and thinking." But I am afraid he was not thinking much of the job, but of what lay beyond the blue distance, the quiet Western Land and the Hill and his hobbit-hole under it.
吴明彻至临川攻周迪，不能克。丁亥，诏安成王顼代之。
A large grey stone lay in the centre of the grass and he stared moodily at it or watched the great snails. They seemed to love the little shut-in bay with its walls of cool rock, and there were many of them of huge size crawling slowly and stickily along its sides.

Since he has got an invisible ring, and ought to be a specially excellent performer now, I am beginning to think he might go through the Front Gate and spy things out a bit!"
Bilbo heard this-the dwarves were on the rocks just : above the enclosure where he was sitting-and "Good Gracious!" he thought, "so that is what they are beginning to think, is it? It is always poor me that has to get them out : of their difficulties, at least since the wizard left.

Whatever am I going to do? I might have known that something dreadful would happen to me in the end. I don't think I could bear to see the unhappy valley of Dale again, and as for that steaming gate! ! !"
That night he was very miserable and hardly slept. Next day the dwarves all went wandering off in various directions; some were exercising the ponies down below, some were roving about the mountain-side.
卷一六九 陈纪三（一）
All day Bilbo sat gloomily in the grassy bay gazing at the stone, or out west through the narrow opening. He had a queer feeling that he was waiting for something. "Perhaps the wizard will suddenly come back today," he thought.
If he lifted his head he could see a glimpse of the distant forest. As the sun turned west there was a gleam of yellow upon its far roof, as if the light caught the last pale leaves. Soon he saw the orange ball of the sun sinking towards the level of his eyes.
起昭阳协洽（癸未），尽柔兆阉茂（丙戌），凡四年。
He went to the opening and there pale and faint was a thin new moon above the rim of Earth. At that very moment he heard a sharp crack behind him. There on the grey stone in the grass was an enormous thrush, nearly coal black, its pale yellow breast freckled dark spots.
Crack! It had caught a snail and was knocking it on the stone. Crack! Crack!
ーヒウメヒか
世祖文皇帝天嘉四年（癸未，公元五六三年）
春，正月，齐以太子少傅魏收兼尚书右仆射。时齐主终日酣饮，朝事专委侍中高元海。元海庸俗，帝亦轻之；以收才名素盛，故用之。而收畏懦避事，寻坐阿纵，除名。
Suddenly Bilbo understood. Forgetting all danger he stood on the ledge and hailed the dwarves, shouting and paying. Those that were nearest came tumbling over the rocks and as fast as they could along the ledge to him, wondering what on earth was the matter; the others shouted to be hauled up the ropes (except Bombur, of course: he was asleep).
Quickly Bilbo explained. They all fell silent: the hobbit standing by the grey stone, and the dwarves with wagging beards watching impatiently.
兖州刺史毕义云作书与高元海，论叙时事。元海入宫，不觉遗之。给事中李孝贞得而奏之，帝由是疏元海，以孝贞兼中书舍人，征义云还朝。和士开复谮元海，帝以马鞭棰元海六十，责曰：“汝昔敎我反，以弟反兄，几许不义！以邺城兵抗幷州，几许无智！”出为兖州刺史。
The sun sank lower and lower, and their hopes fell. It sank into a belt of reddened cloud and disappeared. The dwarves groaned, but still Bilbo stood almost without moving.
The little moon was dipping to the horizon. Evening was coming on. Then suddenly when their hope was lowest a red ray of the sun escaped like a finger through a rent in the cloud. A gleam of light came straight through the opening into the bay and fell on the smooth rock-face.
甲申，周迪众溃，脱身踰岭，奔晋安，依陈宝应。官军克临川，获迪妻子。宝应以兵资迪，留异又遣其子忠臣随之。
The old thrush, who had been watching from a high perch with beady eyes and head cocked on one side, gave a sudden trill. There was a loud attack. A flake of rock split from the wall and fell. A hole appeared suddenly about three feet from the ground. Quickly, trembling lest the chance should fade, the dwarves rushed to the rock and pushed-in vain.
虞寄与宝应书，以十事谏之曰：“自天厌梁德，英雄互起，人人自以为得之，然夷凶翦乱，四海乐推者，陈氏也。岂非历数有在，惟天所授乎！一也。以王琳之强，侯瑱之力，进足以摇荡中原，争衡天下，退足以屈强江外，雄张偏隅；然或命一旅之师，或资一士之说，琳则瓦解冰泮，投身异域，瑱则厥角稽颡，委命阙庭，斯又天假之威而除其患。二也。今将军以藩戚之重，东南之众，尽忠奉上，戮力勤王，岂不勋高窦融，宠过吴芮，析珪判野，南面称孤乎！三也。圣朝弃瑕忘过，宽厚得人，至于余孝顷、潘纯陀、李孝钦、欧阳頠等，悉委以心腹，任以爪牙，胸中豁然，曾无纤芥。况将军衅非张绣，罪异毕谌，当何虑于危亡，何失于富贵！四也。方今周、齐邻睦，境外无虞，幷兵一向，匪朝伊夕，非刘、项竞逐之机，楚、赵连从之势；何得雍容高拱，坐论西伯哉！五也。且留将军狼顾一隅，亟经摧衂，声实亏丧，胆气衰沮。其将帅首鼠两端，唯利是视，孰能被坚执锐，长驱深入，系马埋轮，奋不顾命，以先士卒者乎！六也。将军之强，孰如侯景？将军之众，孰如王琳？武皇灭侯景于前，今上摧王琳于后，此乃天时，非复人力。且兵革已后，民皆厌乱，其孰能弃坟墓，捐妻子，出万死不顾之计，从将军于白刃之间乎！七也。历观前古，子阳、季孟，倾覆相寻；余善、右渠，危亡继及。天命可畏，山川难恃。况将军欲以数郡之地当天下之兵，以诸侯之资拒天子之命，强弱逆顺，可得侔乎！八也。且非我族类，其心必异；不爱其亲，岂能及物！留将军身縻国爵，子尚王姬，犹且弃天属而不顾，背明君而孤立，危急之日，岂能同忧共患，不背将军者乎！至于师老力屈，惧诛利赏，必有韩、智晋阳之谋，张、陈井陉之势。九也。北军万里远鬬，锋不可当。将军自战其地，人多顾后；众寡不敌，将帅不侔。师以无名而出，事以无机而动，以此称兵，未知其利。十也。为将军计，莫若绝亲留氏，释甲偃兵，一遵诏旨。方今藩维尚少，皇子幼冲，凡豫宗族，皆蒙宠树。况以将军之地，将军之才，将军之名，将军之势，而克修藩服，北面称臣，宁与刘泽同年而语其功业哉！寄感恩怀德，不觉狂言，斧钺之诛，其甘如荠。”宝应览书大怒。或谓宝应曰：“虞公病势渐笃，言多错谬。”宝应意乃小释，亦以寄民望，故优容之。
"The key! The key!" cried Bilbo. "Where is Thorin?"
Thorin hurried up.

壬辰，以高州刺史黄法｛奭毛｝为南徐州刺史，临川太守周敷为南豫州刺史。
"The key!" shouted Bilbo. "The key that went with the map! Try it now while there is still time!"
Then Thorin stepped up and drew the key on its chain from round his neck. He put it to the hole. It fitted and it turned! Snap!
周主命司宪大夫拓跋迪造大律十五篇。其制罪：一曰杖刑，自十至五十；二曰鞭刑，自六十至百；三曰徒刑，自一年至五年；四曰流刑，自二千五百里至四千五百里；五曰死刑，磬、绞、斩、枭、裂；凡二十五等。
The gleam went out, the sun sank, the moon was gone, and evening sprang into the sky.
Now they all pushed together, and slowly a part of the rock-wall gave way. Long straight cracks appeared and widened.
庚戌，以司空南徐州刺史侯安都为江州刺史。
A door five feet high and three broad was out- lined, and slowly without a sound swung inwards. It seemed as if darkness flowed out like a vapour from the hole in the mountain-side, and deep darkness in which nothing could be seen lay before their eyes mouth leading in and down.
Chapter 12 Inside Information
辛酉，周诏：“大冢宰晋国公，亲则懿昆，任当元辅，自今诏诰及百司文书，并不得称公名。”护抗表固让。
For a long time the dwarves stood in the dark before the door and debated, until at last Thorin spoke:
ばぞプすフもわご
三月，乙丑朔，日有食之。
"Now is the time for our esteemed Mr. Baggins, who has proved himself a good companion on our long road, and a hobbit full of courage and resource far exceeding his size, and if I may say so possessed of good luck far exceeding the usual allowance-now is the time for him to perform the service for which he was included in our Company; now is the time for him to earn his Reward."
You are familiar with Thorin's style on important occasions, so I will not give you any more of it, though he went on a good deal longer than this.
齐诏司空斛律光督步骑二万，筑勋掌城于轵关；仍筑长城二百里，置十二戍。
It certainly was an important occasion, but Bilbo felt impatient. By now he was quite familiar with Thorin too, and he knew what be was driving at.
丙戌，齐以兼尚书右仆射赵彦深为左仆射。
"If you mean you think it is my job to go into the secret passage first, O Thorin Thrain's son Oakenshield, may your beard grow ever longer," he said crossly, "say so at once and have done! I might refuse. I have got you out of two messes already, which were hardly in the original bargain, so that I am, I think, already owed some reward.
But 'third time pays for all' as my father used to say, and somehow I don't think I shall refuse. Perhaps I have begun to trust my luck more than I used to in the old days" — he meant last spring before he left his own house, but it seemed centuries ago — "but anyway I think I will go and have a peep at once and get it over. Now who is coming with me?"
夏，四月，乙未，周以柱国达奚武为太保。
He did not expect a chorus of volunteers, so he was not disappointed. Fili and Kili looked uncomfortable and stood on One leg, but the others made no pretence of offering — except old Balin. the look-out man, who was rather fond the hobbit. He said he would come inside at least and perhaps a bit of the way too, really to call for help if necessary.
周主将视学，以太傅燕国公于谨为三老。谨上表固辞，不许，仍赐以延年杖。戊午，帝幸太学。谨入门，帝迎拜于门屏之间，谨答拜。有司设三老席于中楹，南面。太师护升阶，设几，谨升席，南面凭几而坐。大司马豆卢宁升阶，正舄。帝升阶，立于斧扆之前，西面。有司进馔，帝跪设酱豆，亲为之袒割。谨食毕，帝亲跪授爵以酳。有司撤讫，帝北面立而访道。谨起，立于席后，对曰：“木受绳则正，后从谏则圣。明王虚心纳谏以知得失，天下乃安。”又曰：“去食去兵，信不可去；愿陛下守信勿失。”又曰：“有功必赏，有罪必罚，则为善者日进，为恶者日止。”又曰：“言行者，立身之基，愿陛下三思而言，九虑而行，勿使有过。天子之过，如日月之食，人莫不知，愿陛下慎之。”帝再拜受言，谨答拜。礼成而出。
The most that can be said for the dwarves is this: they intended to pay Bilbo really handsomely for his services; they had brought him to do a nasty job for them, and they did not mind the poor little fellow doing it if he would; but they would all have done their best to get him out of trouble, if he got into it, as they did in the case of the trolls at the beginning of their adventures before they had any particular reasons for being grateful to him.
司空侯安都恃功骄横，数聚文武之士骑射赋诗，斋中宾客，动至千人。部下将帅，多不遵法度，检问收摄，辄奔归安都。上性严整，内衔之，安都弗之觉。每有表启，封讫，有事未尽，开封自书之云：“又启某事。”及侍宴，酒酣，或箕踞倾倚。常陪乐游园禊饮，谓上曰：“何如作临川王时？”上不应。安都再三言之。上曰：“此虽天命，抑亦明公之力。”宴讫，启借供帐水饰，欲载妻妾于御堂宴饮。上虽许之，意甚不怿。明日，安都坐于御座，宾客居羣臣位，称觞上寿。会重云殿灾，安都帅将士带甲入殿，上甚恶之，阴为之备。
There it is: dwarves are not heroes, but calculating folk with a great idea of the value of money; some are tricky and treacherous and pretty bad lots; some are not, but are decent enough people like Thorin and Company, if you don't expect too much.
The stars were coming out behind him in a pale sky barred with black when the hobbit crept through the enchanted door and stole into the Mountain. It was far easier going than he expected. This was no goblin entrance, or rough wood-elves' cave. It was a passage made by dwarves, at the height of their wealth and skill: straight as a ruler, smooth-floored and smooth-sided, going with a gentle never-varying slope direct-to some distant end in the blackness below.
及周迪反，朝议谓当使安都讨之，而上更使吴明彻。又数遣台使按问安都部下，检括亡叛。安都遣其别驾周弘实自托于舍人蔡景历，并问省中事。景历录其状，具奏之，因希旨称安都谋反。上虑其不受召，故用为江州。
After a while Balin bade Bilbo "Good luck!" and stopped where he could still see the faint outline of the door, and by a trick of, the echoes of the tunnel hear the rustle of the whispering voices of the others just outside.
五月，安都自京口还建康，部伍入于石头。六月，帝引安都宴于嘉德殿，又集其部下将帅会于尚书朝堂，于坐收安都，囚于嘉德西省，又收其将帅，尽夺马仗而释之。因出蔡景历表，以示于朝，乃下诏暴其罪恶，明日，赐死，宥其妻子，资给其丧。
Then the hobbit slipped on his ring, and warned by the echoes to take more than hobbit's care to make no sound, he crept noiselessly down, down, down into the dark. He was trembling with fear, but his little face was set and grim.
初，高祖在京口，尝与诸将宴，杜僧明、周文育、侯安都为寿，各称功伐。高祖曰：“卿等悉良将也，而并有所短。杜公志大而识闇，狎于下而骄于上；周侯交不择人，而推心过差；侯郎慠诞而无厌，轻佻而肆志；并非全身之道。”卒皆如其言。
Already he was a very different hobbit from the one that had run out without a pocket-handkerchief from Bag-End long ago. He had not had a pocket-handkerchief for ages. He loosened his dagger in its sheath, tightened his belt, and went on.
乙卯，齐主使兼散骑常侍崔子武来聘。
"Now you are in for it at last, Bilbo Baggins," he said to himself. "You went and put your foot right in it that night of the party, and now you have got to pull it out and pay for it! Dear me, what a fool I was and am!" said the least Tookish part of him. "I have absolutely no use for dragon-guarded treasures, and the whole lot could stay here for ever, if only I could wake up and find this beastly tunnel was my own front-hall at home!"
He did not wake up of course, but went still on and on, till all sign of the door behind had faded away. He was altogether alone. Soon he thought it was beginning to feel warm. "Is that a kind of a glow I seem to see coming right ahead down there?" he thought. It was. As he went forward it grew and grew, till there was no doubt about it. It was a red light steadily getting redder and redder. Also it was now undoubtedly hot in the tunnel. Wisps of vapour floated up and past him and he began to sweat. A sound, too, began to throb in his ears, a sort of bubbling like the noise of a large pot galloping on the fire, mixed with a rumble as of a gigantic tom-cat purring. This grew to the unmistakable gurgling noise of some vast animal snoring in its sleep down there in the red glow in front of him.

齐侍中、开府仪同三司和士开有宠于齐主，齐主外朝视事，或在内宴赏，须臾之间，不得不与士开相见，或累日不归，一日数入；或放还之后，俄顷卽追，未至之间，连骑督趣，奸谄百端，宠爱日隆，前后赏赐，不可胜纪。每侍左右，言辞容止，极诸鄙亵；以夜继昼，无复君臣之礼。常谓帝曰：“自古帝王，尽为灰土，尧舜、桀纣，竟复何异！陛下宜及少壮，极意为乐，纵横行之，一日取快，可敌千年。国事尽付大臣，何虑不办，无为自勤约也！”帝大悦。于是委赵彦深掌官爵，元文遥掌财用，唐邕掌外、骑兵，信都冯子琮、胡长粲掌东宫。帝三四日一视朝，书数字而已，略无所言，须臾罢入。长粲，僧敬之子也。
帝使士开与胡后握槊，河南康献王孝瑜谏曰：“皇后天下之母，岂可与臣下接手！”孝瑜又言：“赵郡王叡，其父死于非命，不可亲近。”由是叡及士开共谮之。士开言孝瑜奢僭，叡言“山东唯闻河南王，不闻有陛下。”帝由是忌之。孝瑜窃与尔朱御女言，帝闻之，大怒。庚申，顿饮孝瑜酒三十七杯。孝瑜体肥大，腰带十围，帝使左右娄子彦载以出，酖之于车，至西华门，烦躁投水而绝。赠太尉、录尚书事。诸侯在宫中者，莫敢举声，唯河间王孝琬大哭而出。
It was at this point that Bilbo stopped. Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did. The tremendous things that happened afterward were as nothing compared to it. He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait.
At any rate after a short halt go on he did; and you can picture him coming to the end of the tunnel, an opening of much the same size and shape as the door above. Through it peeps the hobbit's little head. Before him lies the great bottommost cellar or dungeon-hall of the ancient dwarves right at the Mountain's root.
秋，七月，戊辰，周主幸原州。
It is almost dark so that its vastaess can only be dimly guessed, but rising from the near side of the rocky floor there is a great glow. The glow of Smaug!
There he lay, a vast red-golden dragon, fast asleep; thrumming came from his jaws and nostrils, and wisps of smoke, but his fires were low in slumber. Beneath him, under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, and about him on all sides stretching away across the unseen floors, lay countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrought, gems and jewels, and silver red-stained in the ruddy light.
八月，辛丑，齐以三台宫为大兴圣寺。
Smaug lay, with wings folded like an immeasurable bat, turned partly on one side, so that the hobbit could see his underparts and his long pale belly crusted with gems and fragments of gold from his long lying on his costly bed.
Behind him where the walls were nearest could dimly be seen coats of mail, helms and axes, swords and spears hanging; and there in rows stood great jars and vessels filled with a wealth that could not be guessed. To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.

九月，壬戌，广州刺史阳山穆公欧阳頠卒，诏其子纥袭父爵位。
卷一六九 陈纪三（二）
There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. Bilbo had heard tell and sing of dragon-hoards before, but the splendour, the lust, the glory of such treasure had never yet come home to him.
His heart was filled and pierced with enchantment and with the desire of dwarves; and he gazed motionless, almost forgetting the frightful guardian, at the gold beyond price and count.
甲子，周主自原州登陇。
He gazed for what seemed an age, before drawn almost against his will, he stole from the shadow of the doorway, across the floor to the nearest edge of the mounds of treasure. Above him the sleeping dragon lay, a dire menace even in his sleep. He grasped a great two-handled cup, as heavy as he could carry, and cast one fearful eye upwards. Smaug stirred a wing, opened a claw, the rumble of his snoring changed its note.
Then Bilbo fled. But the dragon did not wake-not yet but shifted into other dreams of greed and violence, lying there in his stolen hall while the little hobbit toiled back up the long tunnel.
周迪复越东兴岭为寇，辛未，诏护军章昭达将兵讨之。
His heart was beating and a more fevered shaking was in his legs than when he was going down, but still he clutched the cup, and his chief thought was: "I've done it! This will show them. 'More like a grocer than a burglar' indeed! Well, we'll hear no more of that."
丙戌，周主如同州。
Nor did he. Balin was overjoyed to see the hobbit again, and as delighted as he was surprised. He picked Bilbo up and carried him out into the open air.
It was midnight and clouds had covered the stars, but Bilbo lay with his eyes shut, gasping and taking pleasure in the feel of the fresh air again, and hardly noticing the excitement of the dwarves, or how they praised him and patted him on the back and put themselves and all their families for generations to come at his service.

初，周人欲与突厥木杆可汗连兵伐齐，许纳其女为后，遣御伯大夫杨荐及左武伯大原王庆往结之。齐人闻之惧，亦遣使求婚于突厥，赂遗甚厚。木杆贪齐币重，欲执荐等送齐。荐知之，责木杆曰：“太祖昔与可汗共敦邻好，蠕蠕部落数千来降，太祖悉以付可汗使者，以快可汗之意。如何今日遽欲背恩忘义，独不愧鬼神乎？”木杆惨然良久曰：“君言是也。吾意决矣，当相与共平东贼，然后遣女。”荐等复命。
公卿请发十万人击齐，柱国杨忠独以为得万骑足矣。戊子，遣忠将步骑一万，与突厥自北道伐齐，又遣大将军达奚武帅步骑三万，自南道出平阳，期会于晋阳。
The dwarves were still passing the cup from hand to hand and talking delightedly of the recovery of their treasure, when suddenly a vast rumbling woke in the mountain underneath as if it was an old volcano that had made up its mind to start eruptions once again. The door behind them was pulled nearly to, and blocked from closing with a stone, but up the long tunnel came the dreadful echoes, from far down in the depths, of a bellowing and a trampling that made the ground beneath them tremble.
Then the dwarves forgot their joy and their confident boasts of a moment before and cowered down in fright.
冬，十一月，辛酉，章昭达大破周迪。迪脱身潜窜山谷，民相与匿之，虽加诛戮，无肯言者。
Smaug was still to be reckoned with. It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. Dragons may not have much real use for all their wealth, but they know it to an ounce as a rule, especially after long possession; and Smaug was no exception.
He had passed from an uneasy dream (in which a warrior, altogether insignificant in size but provided with a bitter sword and great courage, figured most unpleasantly) to a doze, and from a doze to wide waking. There was a breath of strange air in his cave.
十二月，辛卯，周主还长安。
Could there be a draught from that little hole? He had never felt quite happy about it, though was so small, and now he glared at it in suspicion an wondered why he had never blocked it up. Of late he had half fancied he had caught the dim echoes of a knocking sound from far above that came down through it to his lair.
He stirred and stretched forth his neck to sniff. Then he missed the cup!
丙申，大赦。
Thieves! Fire! Murder!

章昭达进军，度岭，趣建安，讨陈宝应，诏益州刺史余孝顷督会稽、东阳、临海、永嘉诸军自东道会之。
Such a thing had not happened since first he came to the Mountain! His rage passes description — the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted. His fire belched forth, the hall smoked, he shook the mountain-roots. He thrust his head in vain at the little hole, and then coiling his length together, roaring like thunder underground, he sped from his deep lair through its great door, out into the huge passages of the mountain-palace and up towards the Front Gate.
To hunt the whole mountain till he had caught the thief and had torn and trampled him was his one thought.
是岁，初祭始兴昭烈王于建康，用天子礼。
He issued from the Gate, the waters rose in fierce whistling steam, and up he soared blazing into the air and settled on the mountain-top in a spout of green and scarlet flame. The dwarves heard the awful rumour of his flight, and they crouched against the walls of the grassy terrace cringing under boulders, hoping somehow to escape the frightful eyes of the hunting dragon.
周杨忠拔齐二十余城。齐人守陉岭之隘，忠击破之。突厥木杆、地头、步离三可汗以十万骑会之。己酉，自恒州三道俱入。时大雪数旬，南北千余里，平地数尺。齐主自邺倍道赴之，戊午，至晋阳。斛律光将步兵三万屯平阳。己未，周师及突厥逼晋阳。齐主畏其强，戎服帅宫人欲东走避之。赵郡王叡、河间王孝琬叩马谏。孝琬请委叡部分，必得严整。帝从之，命六军进止皆取叡节度，而使幷州刺史段韶总之。
There they would have all been killed, if it had not been for Bilbo once again. "Quick! Quick!" he gasped. "The door! The tunnel! It's no good here."
Roused by these words they were just about to creep inside the tunnel when Bifur gave a cry: "My cousins! Bombur and Bofur — we have forgotten them, they are down in the valley!"
文帝天嘉五年（甲申，公元五六四年）
"They will be slain, and all our ponies too, and all out stores lost," moaned the others. "We can do nothing."
春，正月，庚申朔，齐主登北城，军容甚整。突厥咎周人曰：“尔言齐乱，故来伐之。今齐人眼中亦有铁，何可当耶！”
"Nonsense!" said Thorin, recovering his dignity. "We cannot leave them. Get inside Mr. Baggins and Balin, and you two Fili and Kili-the dragon shan't have all of us. Now you others, where are the ropes? Be quick!"
周人以步卒为前锋，从西山下去城二里许。诸将咸欲逆击之，段韶曰：“步卒力势，自当有限。今积雪旣厚，逆战非便，不如陈以待之。彼劳我逸，破之必矣。”旣至，齐悉其锐兵鼓噪而出。突厥震骇，引上西山，不肯战，周师大败而还。突厥引兵出塞，纵兵大掠，自晋阳以往七百余里，人畜无遗。段韶追之，不敢逼。突厥还至陉岭，冻滑，乃铺毡以度，胡马寒瘦，膝已下皆无毛，比至长城，马死且尽，截矟杖之以归。
Those were perhaps the worst moments they had been through yet. The horrible sounds of Smaug's anger were echoing in the stony hollows far above; at any moment he might come blazing down or fly whirling round and find them there, near the perilous cliff's edge hauling madly on the ropes. Up came Bofur, and still all was safe. Up came Bombur, puffing and blowing while the ropes creaked, and still all was safe. Up came some tools and bundles of stores, and then danger was upon them. A whirring noise was heard. A red light touched the points of standing rocks. The dragon came. They had barely time to fly back to the tunnel, pulling and dragging in their bundles, when Smaug came hurtling from the North, licking the mountain-sides with flame, beating his great wings with a noise like a roaring wind. His hot breath shrivelled the grass before the door, and drove in through the crack they had left and scorched them as they lay hid. Flickering fires leaped up and black rock-shadows danced. Then darkness fell as he passed again.
The ponies screamed with terror, burst their ropes and galloped wildly off. The dragon swooped and turned to pursue them, and was gone.
达奚武至平阳，未知忠退。斛律光与书曰：“鸿鹄已翔于寥廓，罗者犹视于沮泽。”武得书，亦还。光逐之，入周境，获二千余口而还。
"That'll be the end of our poor beasts!" said Thorin.
光见帝于晋阳，帝以新遭大寇，抱光头而哭。任城王湝进曰：“何至于此！”乃止。
"Nothing can escape Smaug once he sees it. Here we are and here we shall have to stay, unless any one fancies tramping the long open miles back to the river with Smaug on the watch!"
