Beneath the inscription were seven stars over a crown and a hammer and anvil.
Below these were drawn two trees representing Galathilion, the Tree of the High
Elves. In the middle of the door was the Star of the House of Feanor. From
inside, the doors could be opened outward with a push, but from the outside
they could only be opened by speaking the password: mellon, or "friend."
铭文之下是七颗星辰悬挂在一顶王冠以及一把铁锤和铁砧之上。这些图案之下画着两棵树意指佳拉西理安——高等精灵的圣白树。门的正中间是费诺家族的星芒。从内部，这扇门可以一推向外开启；但是从外面它们只能通过说出暗语：mellon，意思是“朋友”才被开启。
Two great holly trees stood on either side of the Hollin Gate. Sirannon, the
Gate-stream, flowed through the valley in front of the gate and over a
waterfall called the Stair Falls. A road ran alongside the stream from the gate
and down the cliff near the waterfall. There was also a flight of stairs beside
the falls.
两株茂盛的冬青树挺立在和林之门的两边。西瓦南河—门溪—从门前峡谷穿过，而后形成一道瀑布，叫做天梯瀑布。一条道路与小河并行延伸从大门下行到瀑布附近的悬崖。那里亦有一段阶梯在瀑布旁边。
History:历史
Khazad-dum was founded in ancient times by Durin, the eldest of the Seven
Fathers of the Dwarves. After Durin awoke in Mount Gundabad,he came south to
the Dimrill Dale. There he looked into Mirrormere and saw acrown of stars
appear above his head. In the caves above the dale, Durin established his realm.
卡萨都姆在远古的时代由都灵建立，他是最年长的一位矮人七父。当都灵在刚达巴山醒来之后，他南行来到了丁瑞尔山谷。那里他注视着镜湖，看见了一顶星辰王冠出现在他的头上。在山谷之上的洞穴中，都灵建造了他的国度。
Durin was long-lived and ruled his people for many years. He died before the
end of the First Age, and he was laid to rest in Khazad-dum. But his line
continued and the realm of Khazad-dum grew and expanded over the course of the
centuries. The halls were filled with light and music. The Dwarves found great
riches, including the hard, malleable, silver-colored metal called mithril, which was found nowhere else in Middle-earth. They forged weapons and wrought many
things of beauty, and they traded their works of skill with Men for food.
都灵寿数长久也统治了他的子民很多年。他在第一纪元结束前过世，而后被安葬在卡萨都姆。但是他的血脉延续下来，同时卡萨都姆的国度发展壮大，跨越了千万年的历程.殿内灯火辉煌歌舞升平。矮人们找到了惊人的财富，包括那坚固又柔韧的银色金属名为秘银，这是中土大陆绝无仅有的发现。他们锻造武器以及制造诸多精美的东西，同时他们也和人类交易他们的巧艺制作以换取食物。
In the Second Age, Khazad-dum reached the height of its glory. Around the year
40, many Dwarves came to Khazad-dum from the Blue Mountains after the Dwarf
cities of Nogrod and Belegost were destroyed during the War of Wrath with
Morgoth at the end ofthe First Age. These Dwarves brought new skills and
talents with them, and thewealth and power of Khazad-dum increased.
在第二纪元，卡萨都姆到达了它繁盛的顶峰。大约在0040年，在第一纪末与魔苟斯的愤怒之战后，诺格洛德和贝磊勾斯特的矮人城市被毁，许多矮人从蓝色山脉来到卡萨都姆。这些矮人随之带来了新的技术和人才，因而壮大了卡萨都姆的财力和势力。
The Elves founded the realm of Eregion on the westernside of the Misty
Mountains in the year 750 of the Second Age. They engaged in trade with the
Dwarves of Khazad-dum and traffic flowed in and out of the West-gate. The two
races were on friendly terms, and in particular the great craftsmen - Narvi of
the Dwarves and Celebrimbor of the Elves - became close friends. Together they
wrought the Doors of Durin, which stood open most of the time guarded only by
doorwards, for the land was at peace. stand
在第二纪的750年，精灵在迷雾山脉的西侧建立了伊瑞詹领地。他们忙于和卡萨都姆的矮人进行交易而濒繁进出往来西大门。两个种族友好交往，尤其是在那伟大的工匠之间—矮人族的纳维和精灵族的凯勒布理鹏—成了亲密的朋友。他们共同打造了都灵之门。那一直常开的门在多数时间只有门卫在看守，因为那里还是和平之地。
Around 1200 of the Second Age, Sauron came to Eregion in a fair disguise and
insinuated himself with the Elven-smiths. From Sauron the Elves learned secret
skills and lore and around 1500 they began making the Rings of Power. Seven of
these Rings were for the Dwarves, and it is said that the first of these Rings
was given King Durin III of Khazad-dum bythe Elven-smiths. 大约在第二纪1200年，索伦巧妙化妆来到伊瑞詹并让自己混入了精灵工匠之中。从索伦那里精灵们学到了隐秘的技术和知识，而后在约1500年他们开始制造力量之戒。这些戒指中的七枚是为矮人打造的，据说这些戒指中的第一枚是被精灵的匠人送给了卡萨都姆的都灵三世国王。


Khazad-dum came to be known as Moria, the Black Chasm,and few people dared to
enter its gates. Around 2480, Sauron sent Orcs, Trolls, and other evil creatures to live there. In 2509 in the Redhorn Gate over the Mountains of Moria, Elrond's wife Celebrian was abducted by Orcs. She was wounded and tormented before her
sons Elladan and Elrohir were able to rescue her.
卡萨都姆自此变成了传说的摩利亚，黑色矿坑，无人胆敢进入它的大门。约在2480年，索伦派出半兽人、食人妖以及其它的邪恶生物接管了那里。在2509的摩利亚山上的红角隘口，爱隆的妻子凯勒布里安被半兽人劫持。在她儿子伊莱丹和伊罗何来得及救出她之前，她已经遭受伤害和折磨。
King Thror of Durin's line came to the Dimrill Gate of Moria with his companion
Nar in 2790. He had become tired of wandering homeless and poor and he dreamed
of recovering the wealth and majesty of Khazad-dum. He entered the Dimrill Gate
alone and was slain bythe Orc-leader Azog,who cut off Thror's head and carved
his name on the Dwarf's forehead. Azogthrew Thror's body into the Dimrill Dale
and told Nar to warn his people that they would meet the same fate if they
returned to Khazad-dum.
2790年，都灵的血脉，索尔国王与他的随从耐尔来到摩利亚的丁瑞尔之门。他已经厌倦了无家可归的贫困流浪，他怀着重振卡萨都姆财富与荣耀的梦想。于是他独自进入了丁瑞尔之门却被半兽人首领阿索格杀死，他砍下了索尔的头颅并在矮人的前额刻上了自己的名字。阿索格将索尔的尸体扔进了丁瑞尔山谷并告诉耐尔警告他的子民，如果他们（矮人）回到卡萨都姆将会遭遇同样的命运。
The Dwarves were enraged, and Thror's son Thrain mustered an army to wage war
against the Orcs of the Misty Mountains in 2793.In 2799 they came to the
Dimrill Dale and the Battle of Azanulbizar was fought before the gates of
Khazad-dum. Azog was slain by Dain Iron foot and the Dwarves were victorious,
though they suffered great loss. But Dain looked through the Dimrill Gate and
perceived that Durin's Bane, the Balrog,still dwelled within. He counselled
Thrain that the time had not yet come tore colonize Khazad-dum, saying:
"The world must change and some other powerthan ours must come before
Durin's Folk walk again in Moria."
矮人们群情激愤，2793年索尔之子索恩召集了一支军队对迷雾山脉的半兽人展开复仇之战，在2799年他们来到丁瑞尔河谷，紧接着在卡萨都姆大门前阿萨怒比萨之战爆发。阿索格被丹恩·铁足干掉，矮人们取得了胜利，尽管他们遭遇了严重的损失。但是丹恩洞悉了丁瑞尔之门并觉察到了都灵的克星，那只炎魔，依然盘踞其中。他告诫索恩说重返卡萨都姆为时尚早，他说：“在都灵的子嗣重返摩利亚之前，这世界必将改变，一些比我们更强的力量也必将到来。
In 2989, Balin led an expedition to Moria with a number of Dwarves from the
Lonely Mountain, including Floi, Frar, Loni, Nali, Oin, and Ori. When they
arrived in the Dimrill Dale, Balin and the Dwarves found Orcs guarding the
Dimrill Gate. Floi was killed, but the Dwarves slew many Orcs and took up
residence in the Twenty-first Hall. Ori began to keep a record of the colony
called the Book of Mazarbul.
2989年，巴林带领着一些孤山来的矮人对摩利亚组织了一次远征，其中包括弗洛伊，法拉、朗尼、纳利、欧音和欧力。当他们到达丁瑞尔山谷时，巴林和矮人们发现半兽人据守着丁瑞尔之门。弗洛伊战死，但是矮人杀了很多半兽人并进驻了第二十一大厅。欧力开始做还乡团记录称之为马萨布尔之书
