Английский язык с Дж. Р. Р. Толкиеном. Хоббит

“He is a liar (он — лжец), O truly tremendous one (о, истинно величайший; tremendous — огромный, громадный)!” said one of the drivers (сказал один из надсмотрщиков: «погонщиков = тех, кто пригнал пленников»). “Several of our people (несколько наших людей) were struck by lightning (были ударены молнией) in the cave (в пещере), when we invited these creatures (когда мы пригласили эти создания) to come below (пройти вниз); and they are as dead as stones (и они мертвы, как камни). Also he has not explained this (а также, он не объяснил вот это)!” He held out the sword (он протянул меч) which Thorin had worn (который носил /до этого/ Торин; to wear (wore, worn) ), the sword which came from the Trolls’ lair (тот самый меч, который произошел из логовища Троллей).

The Great Goblin gave a truly awful howl of rage (Великий Гоблин издал действительно ужасный вопль ярости) when he looked at it (когда он взглянул на него), and all his soldiers gnashed their teeth (и все его солдаты заскрежетали зубами), clashed their shields (забряцали щитами), and stamped (и затопали ногами). They knew the sword at once (они узнали этот меч сразу). It had killed hundreds of goblins in its time (он убил сотни гоблинов в свое время), when the fair elves of Gondolin (когда справедливые эльфы Гондолина) hunted them in the hills (преследовали их на холмах) or did battle before their walls (или сражались с ними перед /их/ стенами /города/). They had called it Orcrist, Goblin-cleaver (они называли его Оркрист, Рубщик-гоблинов), but the goblins called it simply Biter (но гоблины называли его просто Кусач). They hated it (они ненавидели его) and hated worse any one that carried it (и еще больше: «хуже» они ненавидели того, кто носил его).
