Sorry it took so long, had a rough week.

Soon after he joined up with Frodo and Sam? Looking, I've found at least half a dozen likely passages.

Perhaps,
Quote:
"Yes, yes, and Sam stinks!" answered Gollum. "Poor Smeagol smells it, but good Smeagol bears it. Helps nice master. But that's no matter. The air's moving, change is coming. Smeagol wonders; he's not happy."
But probably not. It sounds like he's muttering unpleasantries about Sam and/or Frodo. How close am I on a scale of cold to hot?

Hmmm... in this game, you kind of have to have either a)read the books recently or b)have a good memory, neither of which applies to me at this moment. But carry on please, I'll join you soon. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

*kick myself for joining in on the 6TH PAGE!* I'm a bit confuzzled. if someone would like to spare the time to explain why this is not making any sense to me, or direct me to somewhere else where i may obtain this information, i would be very much obliged. or you could flatly refuse and kick me in the teeth. either way, i will have learned a lesson.

Hi gralin musicteeth!

I assume that you mean that you don't know how to play this mistranslated quotes game. And since there are probably others also in the dark, I hope I can illuminate.

An exact quote from one of the books is entered into an online translation engine such as
Babel Fish or InterTran once or a number of times to scramble it. (Such as English to French to Spanish to Mandarin to English again.) Then it is posted.

How to unscramble it is your own lookout!

Of course, now that I've had a chance to think about this one for a few minutes, I think I know what it is. If my friend HerenIstarion hadn't said it was easy, I would never have come up with it. (From my experience that usually means it's from tLotR.)

Anyway -

I find it more amusing to translate it myself. In this case I'm able to convert idioms to corresponding expressions and than it bocomes even funnier when gets back to English

But I must confess last one has undergone FreeTranslation.com treatement [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

BTW, we still can kick you in the teeth, gralin, but just for the sake of heavenly melody which, I expect, will flow out of your mouth after this [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

No-o, it's not from The Last Debate, although it is from a similar conversation.

Yes, although I believe that Gandalf was also speaking to Théoden and Éomer as well as Aragorn.

Go!

Thanks for the hint, HerenIstarion.

That was Sam to Frodo as they look for a way down from the outer ridge of the Emyn Muil.

Quote:
Sam knelt beside him and peered reluctantly over the edge. Then he glanced up at the great cliff rising up, away on their left. 'Easier! he grunted. 'Well, I suppose it's always easier getting down than up. Those as can't fly can jump!'

My mistranslation includes the 'Well?' at the beginning of his grousing.
