Jane Eyre: An Autobiography — Page 1

English → Vi CHAPTER I Level 7/10

There was no possibility of taking a walk that day.

Hôm đó không có khả năng đi dạo được.

We had been wandering, indeed, in the leafless shrubbery an hour in the morning;

Chúng tôi đã lang thang, thật vậy, trong bụi cây trụi lá suốt một tiếng đồng hồ vào buổi sáng;

but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) the cold winter wind had brought with it clouds so sombre, and a rain so penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.

nhưng từ sau bữa tối (bà Reed, khi không có khách, thường dùng bữa sớm) gió mùa đông lạnh giá đã mang theo những đám mây u ám, và một cơn mưa thấm thía đến mức việc tiếp tục tập thể dục ngoài trời hoàn toàn không thể thực hiện được nữa.

I was glad of it: I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: dreadful to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.

Tôi vui vì điều đó: tôi chưa bao giờ thích đi bộ dài, đặc biệt là vào những buổi chiều lạnh lẽo: điều tôi sợ nhất là trở về nhà trong ánh hoàng hôn ảm đạm, với những ngón tay ngón chân tê cóng, và một trái tim buồn bã vì những lời mắng mỏ của Bessie, người vú em, và bị tổn thương bởi ý thức về sự yếu kém thể chất của mình so với Eliza, John, và Georgiana Reed.

The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mama in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy.

Eliza, John và Georgiana nói trên lúc này đang tụ tập quanh mẹ họ trong phòng khách: bà nằm ngả người trên chiếc ghế sofa cạnh lò sưởi, và với những đứa con cưng bên cạnh (lúc đó chúng không cãi nhau cũng không khóc lóc) trông có vẻ hoàn toàn hạnh phúc.

Me, she had dispensed from joining the group; saying, "She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation, that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner—something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were—she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy, little children."

Còn tôi, bà đã miễn cho khỏi phải tham gia vào nhóm đó; bà nói rằng, "Bà lấy làm tiếc khi buộc phải giữ tôi ở khoảng cách xa; nhưng cho đến khi bà nghe từ Bessie, và có thể tự mình quan sát thấy rằng tôi đang thực sự cố gắng để có được một tính cách hòa đồng và trẻ thơ hơn, một cách cư xử duyên dáng và hoạt bát hơn—điều gì đó nhẹ nhàng hơn, thẳng thắn hơn, tự nhiên hơn—bà thực sự phải loại tôi ra khỏi những đặc quyền chỉ dành cho những đứa trẻ nhỏ vui vẻ và hạnh phúc."

"What does Bessie say I have done?" I asked.

"Bessie nói tôi đã làm gì vậy?" Tôi hỏi.
