Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 5

English → Vi Preface Level 5/10

" cried Alice, with a sudden burst of tears, "I do wish they _would_ put their heads down! I am so _very_ tired of being all alone here!"

" Alice kêu lên, với một cơn bùng phát nước mắt đột ngột, "Tôi thật sự ước họ _sẽ_ cúi đầu xuống! Tôi _thật_ quá mệt mỏi khi ở một mình nơi đây!"

As she said this she looked down at her hands, and was surprised to see that she had put on one of the Rabbit's little white kid gloves while she was talking.

Khi cô bé nói điều này, cô bé nhìn xuống đôi tay của mình và ngạc nhiên khi thấy rằng cô bé đã đeo một chiếc găng tay da nhỏ màu trắng của Thỏ trong khi đang nói chuyện.

"How _can_ I have done that?" she thought.

"Làm sao tôi _có thể_ đã làm điều đó?" cô bé nghĩ.

"I must be growing small again."

"Tôi chắc hẳn đang thu nhỏ lại rồi."

She got up and went to the table to measure herself by it, and found that, as nearly as she could guess, she was now about two feet high, and was going on shrinking rapidly: she soon found out that the cause of this was the fan she was holding, and she dropped it hastily, just in time to avoid shrinking away altogether.

Cô bé đứng dậy và đi đến cái bàn để đo chiều cao của mình so với nó, và nhận thấy rằng, ước chừng hết mức có thể, cô bé bây giờ cao khoảng hai feet, và đang tiếp tục co lại nhanh chóng: cô bé sớm phát hiện ra rằng nguyên nhân của điều này là chiếc quạt cô bé đang cầm, và cô bé vội vàng thả nó ra, vừa kịp lúc để tránh co lại hoàn toàn.

"That _was_ a narrow escape!" said Alice, a good deal frightened at the sudden change, but very glad to find herself still in existence; "and now for the garden!" and she ran with all speed back to the little door: but, alas! the little door was shut again, and the little golden key was lying on the glass table as before, "and things are worse than ever," thought the poor child, "for I never was so small as this before, never! And I declare it's too bad, that it is!"

"Đó _thật_ là một lần thoát hiểm hú vía!" Alice nói, khá hoảng sợ trước sự thay đổi đột ngột, nhưng rất vui khi thấy mình vẫn còn tồn tại; "và bây giờ đến khu vườn!" và cô bé chạy hết tốc lực trở lại cánh cửa nhỏ: nhưng, than ôi! cánh cửa nhỏ lại đóng rồi, và chiếc chìa khóa vàng nhỏ đang nằm trên chiếc bàn thủy tinh như trước, "và mọi thứ còn tệ hơn bao giờ hết," đứa trẻ tội nghiệp nghĩ, "vì tôi chưa bao giờ nhỏ như thế này trước đây, chưa bao giờ! Và tôi tuyên bố rằng thật quá tệ, đúng vậy đó!"

As she said these words her foot slipped, and in another moment, splash!

Khi cô bé nói những lời này, chân cô bé trượt ra, và trong một khoảnh khắc khác, tõm!
