The Lord of The Rings
The Fellowship of The Ring
[曲目1]
I amar prestar aen...
han mathon ne nen...
han mathon ne chae...
a han noston ned 'wilith.
The world is changed
I feel it in the water
I smell it in the air
I feel it in the Earth
Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it.
It all began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made.
In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all lives.
"One Ring to rule them all."
One by one, the free lands in Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth.
Victory was near. But the power of the Ring could not be undone.
It was in this moment when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword.
Sauron, the enemy of the free-peoples of Middle-Earth was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever.
But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the Ring of Power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost.
History became legend, legend became myth and for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer.
Book one: The Fellowship of the Ring
Hobbit Bilbo Baggins leaves the Shire for good and gives his magic ring to his cousin Frodo, who learns from Gandalf the wizard that this is no ordinary magic ring. It is the One Ring of Sauron, the Dark Lord and, were it to fall into Sauron's hands, he would gain complete power over the whole of Middle Earth. It must be destroyed. Together with his companions, Merry, Pippin and Sam, Frodo flees the Shire, making for Rivendell, the home of Elrond, ruler of elves. They are pursued by nine Black Riders, but on their way they meet a man called Aragon who turns out to be Gandalf's friend. He guides them to Rivendell and, although Frodo is stabbed by one of the Black Riders, they arrive there safely.
[恩雅council of Hrondo]
Elrond calls a Council. Gandalf explains that he has been held prisoner and only just escaped from the wizard Saruman who, although once an ally, now seeks the Ring for himself. It is decided that the Ring must be destroyed: the only way to do so is to throw it into Mount Doom in Mordor, Sauron's domain. A company of nine - the hobbits, Gandalf, Boromir (son of the steward of Gondor, the land bordering Mordor), Strider (whose real name is Aragorn, and who is in fact the heir to the throne of Gondor), Legolas (an elf) and Gimli (a dwarf) - are assembled to carry out the task.
They set out, but the way is hard, and they are forced to pass under the Misty Mountains through the Mines of Moria. Here Gandalf falls into an abyss during a fight with a Balrog and is given up for dead. The others escape into the woods of Lothlorien, ruled by Galadriel, an elven queen. She gives them boats to carry them down the great river Anduin, which runs between the lands of Gondor and Mordor.
At the Falls of Rauros they are forced to decide which path to take. Frodo realises that he must carry the Ring to the Cracks of Doom, but Boromir, corrupted with desire for the Ring, tries to take it from him by force. Frodo escapes and makes for Mordor, taking only Sam with him. Meanwhile a party of Orcs descends on the company, killing Boromir and taking Merry and Pippin prisoner. The Fellowship has been broken.
Book two: The Two Towers
[曲目12]
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli set out on foot through Rohan, the country of the Rohirrim, or horse lords, to rescue Merry and Pippin from the Orcs. They discover the Orcs have been slain by the Rohirrim but can find no trace of the hobbits, even though they search as far as the forest of Fangorn on Rohan's borders. There they meet an old, hooded man whom they believe to be Saruman (his fortress, Isengard, is nearby). However, when he takes off his hood, it turns out to be Gandalf, returned from his battle with the Balrog. Gandalf tells them that Merry and Pippin are safe, and bids them accompany him to Meduseld, home of Theoden, King of Rohan.
Meanwhile, after escaping from the Orcs, Merry and Pippin also find themselves in Fangorn forest. Here they encounter Treebeard, an Ent, or tree-shepherd. When the hobbits tell him of Saruman's treachery, Treebeard and the rest of the Ents march on Isengard and destroy it.
Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli arrive at Meduseld, intending to persuade Theoden to send his Riders into battle against Saruman. Although Theoden's adviser, Grima Wormtongue, is secretly in the service of Saruman and has been poisoning Theoden's mind against Gandalf, the wizard convinces him of the need to fight. Theoden gathers his troops and rides from Meduseld with his nephew, Eomer, as his second-in-command, leaving his niece, Eowyn, to guard the hall.
[曲目 5 后]
They head for Saruman's fortress, but are ambushed on the way and fight a great battle which they win thanks to help sent by the Ents. When they arrive at Isengard they find Merry and Pippin sitting among the ruins: it has been laid waste by the Ents.
Gandalf and the company approach Orthanc, the tower in the centre of Isengard where Saruman has taken refuge. They attempt to persuade him to rejoin their side, but he refuses, and they leave. After telling Theoden to prepare the Riders of Rohan for war Gandalf, accompanied by Pippin, leaves for Gondor.
Unaware of any of these events, Frodo and Sam are edging towards Mordor. Soon after they leave the company they encounter Gollum who, drawn by the power of the Ring, has been following them since they left Moria. In order to stay near the Ring Gollum agrees to guide them to the Black Gate, the only entrance to Sauron's realm, but it is too heavily guarded to creep through. Gollum tells them that he knows of another secret entrance into Mordor and, at a loss, the hobbits agree to follow him.
They pass through Ithilien, once part of Gondor, and there meet Faramir, Boromir's brother. Unlike his brother, Faramir does not covet the Ring, and he and his men help Frodo. The hobbits are reluctant to leave him but press on, finally coming to Minas Morgul - the stronghold of the Black Riders, whom they first encountered in the Shire. They creep up a stair to one side of the fortress, and Gollum leads them into a tunnel at the top which, he says, will take them into Mordor.
The tunnel is black and they cannot see, but it soon becomes clear that Gollum has abandoned them - and that something is watching them. The tunnel is guarded by Shelob, an enormous spider: Gollum has betrayed them. However, after a desperate battle, they wound Shelob in the eye and she turns and flees. Frodo, running on ahead, does not see her emerging from another tunnel, and she stings him. Sam, furious, stabs her, leaves Frodo for dead, takes the Ring and moves to go on - but then, overhearing the conversation of some of Orcs, realises he isn't dead after all, but unconscious and taken captive. He rushes back to attempt to rescue him.
Book three: The Return of the King
Gandalf brings Pippin to the city of Minas Tirith in Gondor where he meets Denethor, steward of the realm, and pledges his service to him. Merry, left with Theoden, does the same for him. The Rangers of the north ride down to meet Aragorn; he believes that the Rohirrim will not reach Gondor in time to give aid during the battle he knows is coming and so resolves to take the Paths of the Dead to hasten his arrival there.
[曲目7]
Sauron's forces descend on Minas Tirith: there is a tremendous battle in which Faramir, Denethor's son returned from Ithilien, is injured. Denethor goes mad and tries to cremate Faramir and himself. Gandalf steps in and rescues Faramir, but Denethor dies.
The gates of Gondor are broken by the chief of the Black Riders, but Gandalf defies him as he attempts to ride into the city, and at that moment the forces of Rohan ride onto the battlefield. They turn the tide, but Theoden dies at the hand of the chief Black Rider, who in turn is killed by Eowyn and Merry. Aragorn and his men arrive, and the battle is won.
The leaders assemble and decide that, in order to keep Sauron's eye away from his own lands, they must mount an attack on him. They ride to the Black Gate, meet Sauron's armies and engage in a battle which they believe they will lose.
[曲目18]
Meanwhile, Sam rescues Frodo from the Orcs, and they cross into Mordor. Progress is slow - they cannot find water, Frodo is oppressed by the weight of the Ring, and they discover that Gollum is still following them - yet against all the odds they arrive at the Cracks of Doom. But here, on the brink of achieving his task, Frodo decides that he does not want to do what he came to do. Overcome at last by the power of the Ring, he puts it on his finger and claims it as his own. Sauron is instantly aware of him and sends his Black Rider to capture him: all would have been lost had it not been for Gollum who, driven mad by his desire for the Ring, bites off Frodo's finger and, in his triumph, falls into the Cracks of Doom. The Ring is destroyed, and Sauron with it.
Frodo and Sam wake to find they have been rescued by Gandalf. They are reunited with all their old companions and take part in the celebrations. Aragorn is crowned king and marries Arwen, Elrond's daughter.
The hobbits return to the Shire, but all is not as they expected. Saruman, ejected from Isengard, has fled there and turned it into a squalid industrial wasteland. It falls to Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin to rouse the other hobbits and turn him and his henchmen out. He is finally killed on the steps of Frodo's hobbit hole, Bag End.
Years pass and the hobbits continue with their interrupted lives: all except Frodo, who has not recovered from his ordeal. When Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel and Bilbo, along with many of the other elves, catch a ship from the Gray Havens to take them away from Middle Earth forever, Frodo accompanies them, leaving Sam, Merry and Pippin behind.
