They had been going for a long while - Pippin had tried to keep count of the"ent-strides' but had failed, getting lost at about three thousand - when Treebeard began to slacken his pace.
Пин принялся было считать мерные "онтские шаги", но сбился со счету на третьей тысяче, а тут и Древень пошел чуть помедленнее.

When I offered to slacken my pace, he would cry HHUUN HHUUN: I guessed his meaning, and gave him to understand, as well as I could, "that I was weary, and not able to walk faster;" upon which he would stand awhile to let me rest..
Когда я замедлял шаги, конь начинал ржать: "ггуун, ггуун". Догадавшись, что означает это ржанье, я постарался по мере сил объяснить ему, что устал и не могу идти скорее; тогда конь останавливался, чтобы дать мне возможность отдохнуть.

He came on at a splendid pace for so portly a figure; but, like all heavy bodies in motion, he gave the impression that it would be easier for him to increase his pace than to slacken it suddenly.
Для своего веса бежал он мастерски, но, как всегда бывает, когда быстро движется тяжелое тело, казалось, что ему легче бежать, чем остановиться.

Litvinov turned white as a sheet; he did not slacken his pace, however, and when he was on a level with her, he made a bow without speaking.

I could tell when this moment came by the sudden slackening of weight. It lasted only a moment: then there was a subtly changed roaring as our rockets started to fire.
Понять, когда наступил этот момент, я смог по тому, что перегрузка внезапно ослабла, правда лишь на мгновение; затем шум слегка изменился, и заработали наши двигатели.
