English → Vi CHAPTER I Level 6/10

Cynthia, of all people, took to watching the tanner's son, and listening to the brief colloquies he had with other men at Jonah Winch's store, when she went there to buy things for the parsonage; and it seemed to her that Jock had not been altogether wrong, and that there was in the man an indefinable but very compelling force.

Cynthia, hơn ai hết, bắt đầu chú ý quan sát con trai người thợ thuộc da, và lắng nghe những cuộc trò chuyện ngắn ngủi mà anh ta có với những người đàn ông khác tại cửa hàng của Jonah Winch, mỗi khi cô đến đó mua đồ cho nhà mục sư; và dường như với cô rằng Jock đã không hoàn toàn sai, và rằng trong con người đó có một sức mạnh không thể định nghĩa được nhưng lại rất cuốn hút.

And when a woman begins to admit that a man has force, her curiosity usually increases.

Và khi một người phụ nữ bắt đầu thừa nhận rằng một người đàn ông có sức mạnh, sự tò mò của cô thường tăng lên.

On one or two of these occasions Cynthia had been startled to find his eyes fixed upon her, and though the feeling she had was closely akin to fear, she found something distinctly pleasurable in it.

Trong một hoặc hai lần trong số những dịp đó, Cynthia đã giật mình khi thấy ánh mắt anh đang đổ dồn vào cô, và dù cảm giác mà cô có rất gần với nỗi sợ hãi, cô vẫn thấy trong đó có điều gì đó rõ ràng là thú vị.

May came, and the pools dried up, the orchards were pink and white, the birches and the maples were all yellow-green on the mountain sides against the dark pines, and Cynthia was driving the minister's gig to Brampton.

Tháng Năm đến, những vũng nước cạn khô, những vườn cây ăn trái nở hoa hồng và trắng, những cây bạch dương và cây phong đều nhuốm màu xanh vàng trên sườn núi nổi bật giữa những cây thông tối sẫm, và Cynthia đang lái chiếc xe ngựa nhỏ của mục sư đến Brampton.

Ahead of her, in the canon made by the road between the great woods, strode an uncouth but powerful figure--coonskin cap, homespun breeches tucked into boots, and all.

Phía trước cô, trong con đường hẹp được tạo thành bởi những khu rừng lớn, một bóng dáng thô lỗ nhưng mạnh mẽ đang sải bước -- mũ da gấu mèo, quần vải thô nhét vào trong bốt, và tất cả những thứ như vậy.

The gig slowed down, and Cynthia began to tremble with that same delightful fear.

Chiếc xe ngựa chậm lại, và Cynthia bắt đầu run rẩy với cái cảm giác sợ hãi dễ chịu đó.

She knew it must be wicked, because she liked it so much.

Cô biết điều đó hẳn là xấu xa, bởi vì cô thích nó đến vậy.

Unaccountable thing!

Thật khó giải thích!

She felt all akin to the nature about her, and her blood was coursing as the sap rushes through a tree.

Cô cảm thấy mình hòa làm một với thiên nhiên xung quanh, và máu trong cô đang chảy rần rần như nhựa cây chảy qua thân cây.

She would not speak to him; of that she was sure, and equally sure that he would not speak to her.

Cô sẽ không nói chuyện với anh ta; về điều đó cô chắc chắn, và cũng chắc chắn không kém rằng anh ta sẽ không nói chuyện với cô.
