English → Vi Chapter II. Level 8/10

That's what she did," said Joe, slowly clearing the fire between the lower bars with the poker, and looking at it; "she Ram-paged out, Pip."

Đó là những gì bà ấy đã làm," Joe nói, chậm rãi khơi đống lửa giữa các thanh sắt phía dưới bằng cái que cời, và nhìn vào đó; "bà ấy đã Lồng Lên rồi đi ra ngoài đấy, Pip."

"Has she been gone long, Joe?" I always treated him as a larger species of child, and as no more than my equal.

"Bà ấy đi lâu chưa, Joe?" Tôi luôn đối xử với anh ấy như một đứa trẻ lớn hơn, và không hơn gì người ngang hàng với tôi.

"Well," said Joe, glancing up at the Dutch clock, "she's been on the Ram-page, this last spell, about five minutes, Pip. She's a-coming! Get behind the door, old chap, and have the jack-towel betwixt you."

"Thôi nào," Joe nói, liếc nhìn lên chiếc đồng hồ Hà Lan, "bà ấy đã Lồng Lên, trong khoảng thời gian vừa rồi, độ năm phút rồi đấy, Pip. Bà ấy đang đến! Hãy núp sau cánh cửa đi, cậu bé, và lấy cái khăn treo giữa người đi."

I took the advice.

Tôi làm theo lời khuyên đó.

My sister, Mrs. Joe, throwing the door wide open, and finding an obstruction behind it, immediately divined the cause, and applied Tickler to its further investigation.

Chị gái tôi, bà Joe, mở tung cánh cửa ra, và khi phát hiện có vật gì cản phía sau, lập tức đoán ra nguyên nhân, và dùng cây Roi Vọt để tiến hành điều tra thêm.

She concluded by throwing me—I often served as a connubial missile—at Joe, who, glad to get hold of me on any terms, passed me on into the chimney and quietly fenced me up there with his great leg.

Bà kết thúc bằng cách ném tôi — tôi thường được dùng như một vật phóng ra trong hôn nhân — về phía Joe, người mà, vui mừng được giữ lấy tôi dù trong hoàn cảnh nào, đẩy tôi vào trong góc lò sưởi và lặng lẽ chắn tôi lại ở đó bằng cái chân to lớn của anh.

"Where have you been, you young monkey?" said Mrs. Joe, stamping her foot.

"Mày đã đi đâu vậy, con khỉ nhỏ?" bà Joe nói, giậm chân xuống đất.

"Tell me directly what you've been doing to wear me away with fret and fright and worrit, or I'd have you out of that corner if you was fifty Pips, and he was five hundred Gargerys."

"Nói ngay cho tao biết mày đã làm gì mà khiến tao phải lo lắng, sợ hãi và bực bội như vậy, không thì tao sẽ lôi mày ra khỏi góc đó dù mày có là năm mươi thằng Pip đi nữa, và dù hắn có là năm trăm thằng Gargery."

"I have only been to the churchyard," said I, from my stool, crying and rubbing myself.

"Con chỉ ra nghĩa địa thôi," tôi nói, từ trên chiếc ghế đẩu của mình, vừa khóc vừa xoa xoa người.

"Churchyard!" repeated my sister.

"Nghĩa địa!" chị tôi nhắc lại.

"If it warn't for me you'd have been to the churchyard long ago, and stayed there.

"Nếu không có tao thì mày đã ra nghĩa địa từ lâu rồi, và nằm lại đó luôn.

Who brought you up by hand?

Ai đã vất vả nuôi mày khôn lớn?
