[00:00.030] 作曲 : JRR Tolkien
[00:00.60] Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature.
[00:05.82] I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was.
[00:09.76] He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face.
[00:17.54] He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake;
[00:21.92] for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.
[00:26.91] He paddled it with large feet dangling over the side,
[00:30.40] but never a ripple did he make. Not he.
[00:33.38] He was looking out of his pale lamp-like eyes for blind fish,
[00:37.85] which he grabbed with his long fingers as quick as thinking.
[00:41.29] He liked meat too. Goblin he thought good, when he could get it;
[00:47.05] but he took care they never found him out.
[00:49.20] He just throttled them from behind, if they ever came down alone anywhere near the edge of the water, while he was prowling about.
[00:56.29] They very seldom did, for they had a feeling that something unpleasant was lurking down there,
[01:02.35] down at the very roots of the mountain.
[01:05.74] They had come on the lake, when they were tunnelling down long ago, and they found they could go no further;
[01:10.41] so there their road ended in that direction,
[01:12.97] and there was no reason to go that way—unless the Great Goblin sent them.
[01:18.25] Sometimes he took a fancy for fish from the lake,
[01:21.49] and sometimes neither goblin nor fish came back.
[01:25.81] Actually Gollum lived on a slimy island of rock in the middle of the lake.
[01:30.02] He was watching Bilbo now from the distance with his pale eyes like telescopes.
[01:35.42] Bilbo could not see him, but he was wondering a lot about Bilbo,
[01:39.31] for he could see that he was no goblin at all.
[01:42.86] 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.
[01:50.92] Suddenly up came Gollum and whispered and hissed:
[01:54.50] “Bless us and splash us, my precioussss!
[01:58.62] I guess it’s a choice feast;
[02:01.13] at least a tasty morsel it’d make us, gollum!”
[02:05.10] And when he said gollum he made a horrible swallowing noise in his throat.
[02:09.84] That is how he got his name, though he always called himself ‘my precious’.
[02:15.24] The hobbit jumped nearly out of his skin when the hiss came in his ears,
[02:18.31] and he suddenly saw the pale eyes sticking out at him.
[02:21.34] “Who are you?” he said, thrusting his dagger in front of him.
[02:24.24] “What iss he, my preciouss?” whispered Gollum
[02:27.52] (who always spoke to himself through never having anyone else to speak to).
[02:32.68] This is what he had come to find out, for he was not really very hungry at the moment, only curious;
[02:38.03] otherwise he would have grabbed first and whispered afterwards.
[02:41.98] “I am Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I have lost the dwarves and I have lost the wizard, and I don’t know where I am;
[02:48.79] and I don’t want to know, if only I can get away.”
[02:51.60] “What’s he got in his handses?” said Gollum, looking at the sword, which he did not quite like.
[02:57.17] “A sword, a blade which came out of Gondolin!”
[02:59.67] “Sssss” said Gollum, and became quite polite.
[03:03.77] “Praps ye sits here and chats with it a bitsy, my preciousss.
[03:08.04] It likes riddles, praps it does, does it?”
[03:11.84] He was anxious to appear friendly, at any rate for the moment,
[03:15.16] and until he found out more about the sword and the hobbit, whether he was quite alone really,
[03:20.53] whether he was good to eat, and whether Gollum was really hungry.
[03:24.59] Riddles were all he could think of. Asking them, and sometimes guessing them,
[03:28.95] had been the only game he had ever played with other funny creatures sitting in their holes in the long, long ago,
[03:34.82] before he lost all his friends and was driven away, alone, and crept down, down, into the dark under the mountains.
[03:41.03] “Very well,” said Bilbo, who was anxious to agree,
[03:44.15] until he found out more about the creature, whether he was quite alone,
[03:48.17] whether he was fierce or hungry, and whether he was a friend of the goblins.
[03:52.96] “You ask first,” he said, because he had not had time to think of a riddle.
[03:57.55] So Gollum hissed:
[03:59.56] What has roots as nobody sees,
[04:02.32] Is taller than trees,
[04:04.44] Up, up it goes,
[04:06.43] And yet never grows?
[04:08.92] “Easy!” said Bilbo. “Mountain, I suppose.”
[04:11.72] “Does it guess easy? It must have a competition with us, my preciouss!
[04:17.16] If precious asks, and it doesn’t answer, we eats it, my preciousss.
[04:21.96] If it asks us, and we doesn’t answer, then we does what it wants, eh?
[04:27.25] We shows it the way out, yes!”
[04:30.00] “All right!” said Bilbo, not daring to disagree, and nearly bursting his brain to think of riddles that could save him from being eaten.
[04:37.95] Thirty white horses on a red hill,
[04:40.59] First they champ,
[04:41.83] Then they stamp,
[04:42.52] Then they stand still.
[04:44.22] That was all he could think of to ask—the idea of eating was rather on his mind.
[04:48.60] It was rather an old one, too, and Gollum knew the answer as well as you do.
[04:52.09] “Chestnuts, chestnuts,” he hissed. “Teeth! teeth! my preciousss;
[04:58.13] but we has only six!” Then he asked his second:
[05:02.49] Voiceless it cries,
[05:04.76] Wingless flutters,
[05:06.96] Toothless bites,
[05:09.02] Mouthless mutters.
[05:11.76] “Half a moment!” cried Bilbo, who was still thinking uncomfortably about eating.
[05:16.20] Fortunately he had once heard something rather like this before,
[05:19.86] and getting his wits back he thought of the answer.
[05:22.46] “Wind, wind of course,” he said, and he was so pleased that he made up one on the spot.
[05:27.92] “This’ll puzzle the nasty little underground creature,” he thought:
[05:31.51] An eye in a blue face
[05:33.24] Saw an eye in a green face.
[05:35.70] “That eye is like to this eye”
[05:37.45] Said the first eye,
[05:38.69] “But in low place
[05:39.70] Not in high place.”
[05:41.63] “Ss, ss, ss,” said Gollum. He had been underground a long long time,
[05:46.61] and was forgetting this sort of thing.
[05:48.95] But just as Bilbo was beginning to hope that the wretch would not be able to answer,
[05:51.59] Gollum brought up memories of ages and ages and ages before,
[05:54.94] when he lived with his grandmother in a hole in a bank by a river,
[05:59.01] “Sss, sss, my preciouss,” he said. “Sun on the daisies it means, it does.”
[06:07.17] But these ordinary above ground everyday sort of riddles were tiring for him.
[06:11.97] Also they reminded him of days when he had been less lonely and sneaky and nasty, and that put him out of temper.
[06:19.04] What is more they made him hungry;
[06:20.96] so this time he tried something a bit more difficult and more unpleasant:
[06:25.63] It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
[06:30.00] Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
[06:33.94] It lies behind stars and under hills,
[06:37.25] And empty holes it fills.
[06:40.16] It comes first and follows after,
[06:43.80] Ends life, kills laughter.
[06:48.87] Unfortunately for Gollum Bilbo had heard that sort of thing before;
[06:53.55] and the answer was all round him any way.
[06:55.93] “Dark!” he said without even scratching his head or putting on his thinking cap.
[07:01.86] A box without hinges, key, or lid,
[07:04.17] Yet golden treasure inside is hid,
[07:06.40] he asked to gain time, until he could think of a really hard one.
[07:11.30] This he thought a dreadfully easy chestnut, though he had not asked it in the usual words.
[07:16.72] But it proved a nasty poser for Gollum.
[07:19.84] He hissed to himself, and still he did not answer; he whispered and spluttered.
