Little Women — Page 10

English → Vi CHAPTER ONE Level 6/10

Amy followed, but she poked her hands out stiffly before her, and jerked herself along as if she went by machinery, and her "Ow!" was more suggestive of pins being run into her than of fear and anguish.

Amy đi theo, nhưng cô bé chìa tay ra cứng đờ trước mặt, và giật giật người đi như thể được vận hành bằng máy móc, và tiếng "Ôi!" của cô bé gợi lên cảm giác bị ghim đâm vào người hơn là nỗi sợ hãi và đau đớn.

Jo gave a despairing groan, and Meg laughed outright, while Beth let her bread burn as she watched the fun with interest.

Jo thốt ra một tiếng rên tuyệt vọng, và Meg bật cười thành tiếng, trong khi Beth để bánh mì của mình cháy vì mải chăm chú xem trò vui.

"It's no use! Do the best you can when the time comes, and if the audience laughs, don't blame me. Come on, Meg."

"Vô ích thôi! Cứ cố gắng hết sức khi đến lúc, và nếu khán giả cười thì đừng trách ta. Đi nào, Meg."

Then things went smoothly, for Don Pedro defied the world in a speech of two pages without a single break.

Rồi mọi thứ diễn ra suôn sẻ, vì Don Pedro thách thức cả thế giới trong một bài diễn văn dài hai trang không ngắt nghỉ một lần.

Hagar, the witch, chanted an awful incantation over her kettleful of simmering toads, with weird effect.

Hagar, mụ phù thủy, ngâm nga một bài chú kinh khủng trên nồi cóc đang sôi sùng sục của mình, tạo ra hiệu ứng kỳ quái.

Roderigo rent his chains asunder manfully, and Hugo died in agonies of remorse and arsenic, with a wild, "Ha! Ha!"

Roderigo dũng mãnh bứt tung xiềng xích, và Hugo chết trong đau đớn của sự hối hận và thạch tín, với tiếng "Ha! Ha!" man dại.

"It's the best we've had yet," said Meg, as the dead villain sat up and rubbed his elbows.

"Đây là màn hay nhất từ trước đến nay," Meg nói, khi tên phản diện đã chết ngồi dậy và xoa khuỷu tay.

"I don't see how you can write and act such splendid things, Jo. You're a regular Shakespeare!" exclaimed Beth, who firmly believed that her sisters were gifted with wonderful genius in all things.

"Em không hiểu sao chị có thể viết và diễn những thứ tuyệt vời như vậy, Jo. Chị đúng là một Shakespeare thực sự!" Beth thốt lên, cô bé vững tin rằng các chị mình đều được phú cho tài năng kỳ diệu trong mọi lĩnh vực.

"Not quite," replied Jo modestly.

"Chưa đến thế đâu," Jo khiêm tốn đáp.

"I do think _The Witches Curse, an Operatic Tragedy_ is rather a nice thing, but I'd like to try _Macbeth_, if we only had a trapdoor for Banquo.

"Tôi nghĩ _Lời Nguyền Của Các Phù Thủy, Một Bi Kịch Nhạc Kịch_ là một tác phẩm khá hay, nhưng tôi muốn thử _Macbeth_, nếu chúng ta chỉ có một cái cửa bẫy cho Banquo.

I always wanted to do the killing part. 'Is that a dagger that I see before me?

Tôi luôn muốn đóng cảnh giết người. 'Đó có phải là một con dao găm mà tôi thấy trước mặt không?
