Light O' the Morning: The Story of an Irish Girl — Page 5

English → Vi CHAPTER II. Level 4/10

"Not a bit of it. My son shall either go to Old Trinity or he does without a university education. Cambridge or Oxford indeed! You forget, Ellen, that the lad is my son as well as yours."

"Không đời nào. Con trai ta sẽ hoặc vào Old Trinity hoặc là không học đại học. Cambridge hay Oxford thật! Em quên rồi sao, Ellen, rằng cậu bé là con của ta cũng như của em."

"I don't; but he is half an Englishman, three parts an Englishman, whatever his fatherhood," said the Squire's wife in a tone of triumph.

"Em không quên; nhưng cậu bé có một nửa là người Anh, ba phần tư là người Anh, dù cha cậu là ai," vợ ông Squire nói với giọng đắc thắng.

"Well, well! he is Terence O'Shanaghgan, for all that, and he will inherit this old place some day."

"Thôi, thôi! Dù sao cậu bé cũng là Terence O'Shanaghgan, và một ngày nào đó cậu sẽ thừa kế nơi này."

"Much there will be for him to inherit."

"Sẽ chẳng còn bao nhiêu cho cậu mà thừa kế."

Eager steps were heard on the gravel, and the next instant Nora entered by the open window.

Tiếng bước chân vội vã vang lên trên sỏi đá, và ngay tức khắc Nora bước vào qua cửa sổ mở.

"I have given the order," she said; "Angus will have the trap round in a quarter of an hour."

"Con đã ra lệnh rồi," cô nói; "Angus sẽ đưa xe ngựa ra trong một phần tư giờ nữa."

"That's right, my girl; you didn't let time drag," said her father.

"Giỏi lắm, con gái ta; con không để mất thời gian," cha cô nói.

"Angus wants you and mother to be quite ready, for he says Black Bess is nearly off her head with spirit. Now, then, mother, shall I go upstairs and bring down your things?"

"Angus muốn cha và mẹ sẵn sàng hoàn toàn, vì ông ấy nói Black Bess gần như điên cuồng vì hăng hái. Thôi nào, mẹ ơi, con lên lầu lấy đồ cho mẹ xuống nhé?"

"I don't mind if you do, Nora; my back aches a good bit."

"Mẹ không phiền đâu, Nora; lưng mẹ đau lắm."

"We'll put the air-cushion in the trap," said the Squire, who, notwithstanding her fine-lady airs, had a great respect and admiration for his wife.

"Chúng ta sẽ đặt đệm hơi vào xe," ông Squire nói, người mà, dù bà vợ hay làm dáng quý phái, vẫn rất kính trọng và ngưỡng mộ vợ mình.

"We'll make you right cozy, Ellen, and a rattle through the air will do you a sight of good."

"Chúng ta sẽ làm cho em thật thoải mái, Ellen, và một chuyến phóng nhanh trong gió sẽ giúp ích cho em rất nhiều."

"May I drive, father?" said Nora.

"Con có thể cầm cương không, cha?" Nora nói.

"You, little one? Suppose you bring Black Bess down on her knees?

"Con à, cô bé? Lỡ con làm Black Bess ngã quỵ thì sao?
