Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 9

English → Vi Preface Level 5/10

And it'll fetch things when you throw them, and it'll sit up and beg for its dinner, and all sorts of things—I can't remember half of them—and it belongs to a farmer, you know, and he says it's so useful, it's worth a hundred pounds!

Và nó sẽ nhặt đồ khi bạn ném đi, và nó sẽ ngồi dậy và xin ăn bữa tối, và đủ mọi thứ chuyện—tôi không thể nhớ hết một nửa trong số đó—và nó thuộc về một người nông dân, bạn biết đấy, và ông ấy nói nó hữu ích đến mức, nó đáng giá một trăm bảng!

He says it kills all the rats and—oh dear!" cried Alice in a sorrowful tone, "I'm afraid I've offended it again!"

Ông ấy nói nó giết tất cả lũ chuột và—ôi trời ơi!" Alice kêu lên bằng giọng buồn bã, "Tôi sợ rằng tôi đã lại xúc phạm nó mất rồi!"

For the Mouse was swimming away from her as hard as it could go, and making quite a commotion in the pool as it went.

Vì con Chuột đang bơi ra xa cô hết sức lực, và tạo ra khá nhiều náo động trong vũng nước khi nó bơi đi.

So she called softly after it, "Mouse dear! Do come back again, and we won't talk about cats or dogs either, if you don't like them!"

Vì vậy cô gọi khẽ theo sau nó, "Chuột ơi! Hãy quay lại đây, và chúng ta sẽ không nói về mèo hay chó nữa, nếu bạn không thích chúng!"

When the Mouse heard this, it turned round and swam slowly back to her: its face was quite pale (with passion, Alice thought), and it said in a low trembling voice, "Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs."

Khi con Chuột nghe thấy điều này, nó quay lại và bơi chậm rãi trở lại phía cô: mặt nó tái nhợt hẳn (vì tức giận, Alice nghĩ vậy), và nó nói bằng giọng run rẩy nhỏ nhẹ, "Hãy để chúng ta ra bờ đã, rồi tôi sẽ kể cho bạn nghe lịch sử của tôi, và bạn sẽ hiểu tại sao tôi lại ghét mèo và chó."

It was high time to go, for the pool was getting quite crowded with the birds and animals that had fallen into it: there were a Duck and a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet, and several other curious creatures.

Đã đến lúc phải ra đi rồi, vì vũng nước đang trở nên khá chật chội với những chim chóc và động vật đã rơi xuống đó: có một con Vịt và một con Dodo, một con Vẹt Lory và một con Đại Bàng non, và nhiều sinh vật kỳ lạ khác.

Alice led the way, and the whole party swam to the shore.

Alice dẫn đầu, và cả đoàn bơi vào bờ.
