“You’re a liar (ты лжец), ” said William; and so the argument began all over again (и таким образом спор начался снова заново). In the end (наконец) they decided to mince them fine (они решили смолоть их мелко) and boil them (и сварить их). So they got a black pot (и они достали черный горшок), and they took out their knives (и они достали свои ножи).

argument [': jmnt] roasting ['rst] liar ['la] mince [mns]

It was just then that Gandalf came back. But no one saw him. The trolls had just decided to roast the dwarves now and eat them later — that was Bert’s idea, and after a lot of argument they had all agreed to it.

“No good roasting ‘em now, it’d take all night, ” said a voice. Bert thought it was William’s.

“Don’t start the argument all over again, Bill, ” he said, “or it will take all night. ”

“Who’s a-arguing?” said William, who thought it was. Bert that had spoken. “You are, ” said Bert.

“You’re a liar, ” said William; and so the argument beg all over again. In the end they decided to mince them fine and boil them. So they got a black pot, and they took out their knives.

“No good boiling ‘em (бесполезно варить их)! We ain’t got no water (у нас и воды-то нет), and it’s a long way to the well and all (и до колодца очень далеко, и все такое), ” said a voice (сказал какой-то голос). Bert and William thought it was Tom’s (Берт и Вильям подумали, что это был голос Тома).

“Shut up (заткнись)!” said they (сказали они), “or we’ll never have done (или мы так никогда не закончим). And yer can fetch the water yerself (и ты можешь сходить и принести воды сам), if yer say any more (если ты скажешь еще чего—нибудь). ”

“Shut up yerself (заткнитесь сами)!” said Tom, who thought it was William’s voice (который подумал, что это был голос Вильяма). “Who’s arguing but you (кто спорит, так это ты: «кроме тебя»). I’d like to know (хотелось бы мне знать). ”

“You’re a booby (ты болван), ” said William. “Booby yerself (ты сам болван)!” said Tom.

And so the argument began all over again (и тогда спор начался снова заново), and went on hotter than ever (и продолжился, еще более жаркий, чем раньше), until at last they decided (до тех пор, пока наконец они не решили) to sit on the sacks one by one (сесть на мешки, один за другим) and squash them (и раздавить их), and boil them next time (и сварить их в следующий раз).

And so the argument began all over again, and went on hotter than ever, until at last they decided to sit on the sacks one by one and squash them, and boil them next time.

“Who shall we sit on first (на кого первого мы сядем)?” said the voice (сказал уже знакомый голос).

“Better sit on the last fellow first (лучше сесть сперва на последнего парня), ” said Bert, whose eye had been damaged by Thorin (чей глаз был поврежден Торином). He thought Tom was talking (он подумал, что говорит Том).

“Don’t talk to yerself (не говори сам с собой)!” said Tom. “But if you wants to sit on the last one (но если ты хочешь сесть на последнего), sit on him (садись на него). Which is he (который он)?”

“The one with the yellow stockings (тот, с желтыми чулками), ” said Bert. “Nonsense (чепуха), the one with the grey stockings (тот, что в серых чулках), ” said a voice like William’s (сказал голос, похожий на голос Вильяма).
