A Room with a View — Page 5

English → Vi Chapter I Level 6/10

Lucy, who had not yet acquired decency, at once rose to her feet, exclaiming: "Oh, oh! Why, it's Mr. Beebe! Oh, how perfectly lovely! Oh, Charlotte, we must stop now, however bad the rooms are. Oh!"

Lucy, người chưa học được sự đúng mực, lập tức đứng bật dậy, thốt lên: "Ồ, ồ! Ơ kìa, là ông Beebe! Ồ, tuyệt vời quá! Ồ, Charlotte, dù các phòng có tệ đến đâu thì chúng ta cũng phải ở lại đây thôi. Ồ!"

Miss Bartlett said, with more restraint:

Cô Bartlett nói, với vẻ điềm tĩnh hơn:

"How do you do, Mr. Beebe? I expect that you have forgotten us: Miss Bartlett and Miss Honeychurch, who were at Tunbridge Wells when you helped the Vicar of St. Peter's that very cold Easter."

"Ông có khỏe không, ông Beebe? Tôi đoán ông đã quên chúng tôi rồi: cô Bartlett và cô Honeychurch, những người đã ở Tunbridge Wells khi ông giúp cha xứ nhà thờ St. Peter vào dịp lễ Phục Sinh rét buốt năm ấy."

The clergyman, who had the air of one on a holiday, did not remember the ladies quite as clearly as they remembered him.

Vị mục sư, với dáng vẻ của người đang đi nghỉ, không nhớ rõ hai quý cô bằng cái cách họ nhớ ông.

But he came forward pleasantly enough and accepted the chair into which he was beckoned by Lucy.

Nhưng ông vẫn bước tới với thái độ vui vẻ và nhận lấy chiếc ghế mà Lucy ra hiệu mời ông ngồi.

"I _am_ so glad to see you," said the girl, who was in a state of spiritual starvation, and would have been glad to see the waiter if her cousin had permitted it.

"Tôi thực sự rất vui khi gặp ông," cô gái nói, trong trạng thái khao khát giao tiếp đến cùng cực, đến mức nếu người anh họ cho phép thì cô cũng sẽ vui khi được gặp cả người bồi bàn.

"Just fancy how small the world is. Summer Street, too, makes it so specially funny."

"Thật kỳ lạ khi thế giới lại nhỏ bé đến vậy. Chuyện Summer Street nữa càng khiến mọi thứ thêm thú vị."

"Miss Honeychurch lives in the parish of Summer Street," said Miss Bartlett, filling up the gap, "and she happened to tell me in the course of conversation that you have just accepted the living—"

"Cô Honeychurch sống ở giáo xứ Summer Street," cô Bartlett nói, lấp đầy khoảng lặng, "và trong lúc trò chuyện cô ấy tình cờ cho tôi biết rằng ông vừa mới nhận chức vụ mục sư ở đó—"

"Yes, I heard from mother so last week. She didn't know that I knew you at Tunbridge Wells; but I wrote back at once, and I said: 'Mr. Beebe is—'"

"Vâng, tuần trước tôi nghe mẹ nói vậy. Bà không biết rằng tôi đã quen biết ông ở Tunbridge Wells; nhưng tôi đã viết thư hồi âm ngay, và tôi nói: 'Ông Beebe là—'"

"Quite right," said the clergyman. "I move into the Rectory at Summer Street next June.

"Đúng vậy," vị mục sư nói. "Tôi sẽ chuyển vào nhà xứ ở Summer Street vào tháng Sáu tới.
