But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made.
但所有人却都落入了圈套,因为另有一枚戒指被铸造了。
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.
在魔多之地,在那厄运山的火焰之中,黑暗魔君索隆秘密制造了一枚统领之戒,来掌控其余的魔戒。
And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.
在这枚戒指之中,他灌输进了自己的残忍、邪恶以及那要凌驾于所有生灵的欲念。
One Ring to rule them all.
至尊戒驭众戒。
One by one, the free lands of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring.
中土的自由之地一一陷落于魔戒的威力之下。
But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor,
但仍有一些人在抵抗着,人类与精灵组成了一支最后的联盟来抵御魔多的军队,
and on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth.
在厄运山脚下,他们为了中土的自由而战。
Victory was near. But the power of the Ring could not be undone.

But the hearts of men are easily corrupted. And the Ring of Power has a will of its own.
但人类的心灵最易受到腐化,而至尊戒是不为人所控制的。
It betrayed Isildur to his death.
它背叛了伊西尔德,导致了他的死亡。
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.
