golden [ˈɡǝʋld (ǝ) n] expected [ɪkˈspektɪd] explanation [eksplǝˈneɪʃ (ǝ) n]

It was a dwarf with a blue beard tucked into a golden belt, and very bright eyes under his dark-green hood. As soon as the door was opened, he pushed inside, just as if he had been expected. He hung his hooded cloak on the nearest peg, and “Dwalin at your service!” he said with a low bow.

“Bilbo Baggins at yours!” said the hobbit, too surprised to ask any questions for the moment. When the silence that followed had become uncomfortable, he added: “I am just about to take tea; pray come and have some with me. ” A little stiff perhaps, but he meant it kindly. And what would you do, if an uninvited dwarf came and hung his things up in your hall without a word of explanation?

They had not been at table long (они не долго сидели за столом), in fact they had hardly reached the third cake (на самом деле, они едва добрались до третьего кекса), when there came another even louder ring at the bell (когда раздался другой, даже еще более громкий звон колокольчика).

“Excuse me (извините)!” said the hobbit (сказал хоббит), and off he went to the door (и отправился к двери).

“So you have got here at last (итак, вы все-таки добрались сюда, наконец—то)!” was what he was going to say to Gandalf this time (/было то/ вот что он собирался сказать Гэндальфу на этот раз). But it was not Gandalf (но это был не Гэндальф). Instead there was a very old-looking dwarf (вместо него там стоял очень старый гном; old-looking — выглядеть старым) on the step (на ступеньке) with a white beard (с белой бородой) and a scarlet hood (и алым капюшоном); and he too hopped inside (и он тоже вскочил внутрь) as soon as the door was open (как только дверь распахнулась), just as if he had been invited (как будто его-то и приглашали).

“I see they have begun to arrive already (я вижу, что они уже начали прибывать), ” he said (сказал он) when he caught sight of Dwalin’s green hood (когда он заметил: «поймал вид» зеленый капюшон Двалина) hanging up (висящий /на колышке/; to catch — ловить). He hung his red one next to it (он повесил свой красный капюшон радом с ним), and (и) “Balin at your service (Балин, к вашим услугам)!” he said with his hand on his breast (сказал он, приложив руку к своей груди: «со своей рукой на своей груди»).
