They look like humans but are about half the size. They live in underground houses and never wear shoes. Their ears are pointed, and they have brown, curly hair. Can you guess what is being described here? If you guessed hobbits, you are correct! These fictional characters first appeared in J. R. R. Tolkien' s 1937 novel The Hobbit. The story follows Bilbo Baggins, a middle - aged hobbit, as he goes on an adventure. Baggins showed up again in The Lord of the Rings, along with other hobbits like Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin.
他们看起来就像人类，但大约只有人类一半的大小。他们住在地底下的房子，而且从来不穿鞋子。他们的耳朵尖尖的，并拥有棕色的卷发。你能猜到在此描述的是什么了吗？如果你猜的是哈比人，那你就答对了！这些虚构角色最早出现在 J.R.R. 托尔金 1937 年的作品《哈比人历险记》当中。故事讲述一个中年哈比人比尔博．巴金斯踏上的一场冒险旅程。巴金斯在《魔戒》中再次出现，连同如佛罗多、山姆、梅里以及皮聘等其他哈比人。
