English → Vi CHAPTER I. Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Surprised Level 6/10

It's so seldom Matthew sets his mind on anything that when he does I always feel it's my duty to give in.

Matthew hiếm khi quyết tâm làm điều gì đó đến mức khi ông ấy đã quyết thì tôi luôn cảm thấy đó là bổn phận của mình phải chiều theo.

And as for the risk, there's risks in pretty near everything a body does in this world.

Còn về rủi ro thì hầu như mọi việc người ta làm trên đời này đều có rủi ro cả.

There's risks in people's having children of their own if it comes to that--they don't always turn out well.

Ngay cả việc người ta sinh con đẻ cái cũng có rủi ro chứ — con cái đâu phải lúc nào cũng nên người.

And then Nova Scotia is right close to the Island.

Hơn nữa Nova Scotia lại ở ngay gần Đảo.

It isn't as if we were getting him from England or the States.

Đâu phải như chúng ta đón cậu bé từ tận Anh hay Mỹ về.

He can't be much different from ourselves."

Cậu bé chắc cũng chẳng khác gì chúng ta mấy."

"Well, I hope it will turn out all right," said Mrs. Rachel in a tone that plainly indicated her painful doubts.

"Thôi thì tôi chỉ mong mọi chuyện sẽ ổn," bà Rachel nói bằng giọng bộc lộ rõ ràng những nghi ngờ đau đáu của bà.

"Only don't say I didn't warn you if he burns Green Gables down or puts strychnine in the well--I heard of a case over in New Brunswick where an orphan asylum child did that and the whole family died in fearful agonies.

"Chỉ là đừng bảo tôi không cảnh báo trước nếu cậu ta đốt Green Gables hay bỏ thuốc độc strychnine vào giếng — tôi có nghe một vụ ở New Brunswick, một đứa trẻ trong trại mồ côi đã làm vậy và cả gia đình chết trong đau đớn khủng khiếp.

Only, it was a girl in that instance."

Chỉ có điều, trong trường hợp đó là một bé gái."

"Well, we're not getting a girl," said Marilla, as if poisoning wells were a purely feminine accomplishment and not to be dreaded in the case of a boy.

"Thì chúng ta đâu có đón một bé gái về," Marilla nói, như thể việc đầu độc giếng là trò của con gái và không cần lo ngại trong trường hợp là con trai.

"I'd never dream of taking a girl to bring up.

"Tôi chẳng bao giờ nghĩ đến chuyện đón một bé gái về nuôi.

I wonder at Mrs. Alexander Spencer for doing it.

Tôi thật không hiểu được bà Alexander Spencer khi bà ấy làm vậy.

But there, _she_ wouldn't shrink from adopting a whole orphan asylum if she took it into her head."

Nhưng thôi, _bà ấy_ thì chẳng ngại nhận nuôi cả một trại mồ côi nếu bà ấy nảy ra ý đó trong đầu."

Mrs. Rachel would have liked to stay until Matthew came home with his imported orphan.

Bà Rachel rất muốn ở lại cho đến khi Matthew trở về cùng đứa trẻ mồ côi được đón về từ nơi xa.
