Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 3

English → Vi CHAPTER II. Level 4/10

"Well, not exactly, Pat; but you cannot expect me to keep all our troubles to ourselves. There's that mortgage, you know."

"Ừ thì, không hẳn vậy, Pat; nhưng anh không thể cứ trông đợi em giữ kín mọi chuyện rắc rối của chúng ta. Còn cái khoản thế chấp đó nữa, anh biết đấy."

"Bother the mortgage!" said the Squire.

"Mặc xác cái thế chấp đó!" ông Squire nói.

"Why do you harp on things the way you do?

"Sao em cứ nhai đi nhai lại mấy chuyện đó vậy?

I'll manage it right enough.

Anh sẽ lo liệu ổn thỏa thôi.

I am going round to see Dan Murphy now; he won't be hard on an old friend."

Anh sắp đến gặp Dan Murphy đây; ông ấy sẽ không nỡ khó dễ với một người bạn cũ đâu."

"Yes; but have you not to pay up?"

"Vâng; nhưng anh chẳng phải thanh toán sao?"

"Some day, I suppose."

"Thế nào rồi cũng phải trả, anh nghĩ vậy."

"Now listen, Patrick. Do be reasonable. Whenever I speak of money you fight shy of the subject."

"Nghe đây, Patrick. Hãy biết điều một chút. Cứ hễ em nói đến tiền bạc là anh lại tránh né chủ đề đó."

"I don't--I don't," said the Squire restlessly; "but I am dead tired.

"Anh không có--anh không có vậy," ông Squire bồn chồn nói; "nhưng anh mệt lử rồi.

I have had a ride of thirty miles; I want my tea.

Anh vừa cưỡi ngựa ba mươi dặm; anh muốn uống trà.

Where is Nora? Do you mind my calling her?

Nora đâu rồi? Em có phiền nếu anh gọi cô ấy không?

She'll order Pegeen to bring the tea here."

Cô ấy sẽ bảo Pegeen mang trà vào đây."

"No; I won't have it. We'll have tea in the dining room presently. I thought you objected to afternoon tea."

"Không; em không chịu đâu. Chúng ta sẽ uống trà trong phòng ăn một lúc nữa. Em tưởng anh phản đối chuyện uống trà chiều cơ mà."

"So I do, as a rule; but I am mighty dhry--thirsty, I mean, Ellen.

"Thì đúng vậy, thông thường là vậy; nhưng anh khát khô cổ họng--ý anh là khát, Ellen ơi.

Well, all the better; I'll get more to drink in the dining room. Order the tea as soon as you please."

Thôi thì càng tốt; anh sẽ có nhiều thứ uống hơn ở phòng ăn. Em cứ gọi trà bất cứ lúc nào em thích."

"Ring the bell, Patrick."

"Rung chuông đi, Patrick."

The Squire strode to the mantelpiece, pulled a bell-cord which hung from the ceiling, a distant bell was heard ringing in noisy fashion, and a moment afterward Pegeen put in her head.

Ông Squire bước nhanh đến lò sưởi, giật sợi dây chuông treo từ trần nhà xuống, một tiếng chuông vang xa nghe reng reng ầm ĩ, và một lúc sau Pegeen thò đầu vào.

"Come right in, Margaret," said her mistress.

"Vào đi, Margaret," bà chủ nói.

"Aw! then, I'm sorry, ma'am, I forgot," said the girl.

"Ôi! thưa bà, con xin lỗi, con quên mất," cô gái nói.
