Coniston — Volume 01 — Page 2

English → Vi CHAPTER I Level 6/10

The hills seem to leap up against the sky as I describe that region where Cynthia Ware was born, and the very old country names help to summon up the picture.

Những ngọn đồi dường như vươn lên chạm tới bầu trời khi tôi miêu tả vùng đất nơi Cynthia Ware được sinh ra, và những cái tên địa phương rất cũ kỹ góp phần gợi lên hình ảnh ấy.

Coniston Mountain, called by some the Blue Mountain, clad in Hercynian forests, ten good miles in length, north and south, with its notch road that winds over the saddle behind the withers of it.

Núi Coniston, được một số người gọi là Núi Xanh, khoác lên mình những cánh rừng Hercynian, dài đúng mười dặm theo chiều bắc nam, với con đường hẻm quanh co vắt qua yên ngựa phía sau đỉnh cao của nó.

Coniston Water, that oozes out from under the loam in a hundred places, on the eastern slope, gathers into a rushing stream to cleave the very granite, flows southward around the south end of Coniston Mountain, and having turned the mills at Brampton, idles through meadows westward in its own green valley until it comes to Harwich, where it works again and tumbles into a river.

Suối Coniston, rỉ ra từ dưới lớp đất thịt ở hàng trăm nơi trên sườn phía đông, tụ lại thành một dòng chảy xiết để xẻ đôi những tảng đá granit, chảy về phía nam vòng quanh đầu phía nam của Núi Coniston, và sau khi đã quay những cối xay ở Brampton, lại thong thả trôi qua các đồng cỏ về phía tây trong thung lũng xanh mướt của chính nó cho đến khi đến Harwich, nơi nó lại làm việc và đổ vào một con sông.

Brampton and Harwich are rivals, but Coniston Water gives of its power impartially to each.

Brampton và Harwich là những đối thủ của nhau, nhưng suối Coniston ban phát sức mạnh của mình một cách công bằng cho cả hai.

From the little farm clearings on the western slope of Coniston Mountain you can sweep the broad valley of a certain broad river where grew (and grow still) the giant pines that gave many a mast to King George's navy as tribute for the land.

Từ những khoảng đất nông trại nhỏ trên sườn phía tây của Núi Coniston, bạn có thể phóng tầm mắt bao quát thung lũng rộng lớn của một con sông rộng nào đó, nơi đã mọc lên (và vẫn còn mọc) những cây thông khổng lồ từng cung cấp biết bao nhiêu cột buồm cho hải quân của Vua George như một khoản cống nạp cho vùng đất này.

And beyond that river rises beautiful Farewell Mountain of many colors, now sapphire, now amethyst, its crest rimmed about at evening with saffron flame; and, beyond Farewell, the emerald billows of the western peaks catching the level light.

Và bên kia con sông ấy, Núi Farewell xinh đẹp với muôn sắc màu hiện lên, khi thì xanh lam như ngọc sapphire, khi thì tím nhạt như thạch anh tím, đỉnh núi được viền quanh vào buổi chiều tà bằng ngọn lửa vàng nghệ; và, xa hơn Farewell, những đợt sóng màu xanh ngọc lục bảo của các đỉnh núi phía tây đang hứng lấy ánh sáng nằm ngang.
