Peter Pan — Page 11

English → Vi Chapter I. Level 4/10

She explained in quite a matter-of-fact way that she thought Peter sometimes came to the nursery in the night and sat on the foot of her bed and played on his pipes to her.

Cô bé giải thích một cách bình thản rằng cô bé nghĩ Peter đôi khi đến phòng trẻ vào ban đêm và ngồi ở cuối giường của cô bé và thổi sáo cho cô bé nghe.

Unfortunately she never woke, so she didn't know how she knew, she just knew.

Đáng tiếc là cô bé chưa bao giờ thức dậy, vì vậy cô bé không biết làm sao mình biết được, cô bé chỉ biết vậy thôi.

"What nonsense you talk, precious. No one can get into the house without knocking."

"Con nói chuyện vớ vẩn quá, cưng ơi. Không ai có thể vào nhà mà không gõ cửa cả."

"I think he comes in by the window," she said.

"Con nghĩ anh ấy vào qua cửa sổ," cô bé nói.

"My love, it is three floors up."

"Con yêu ơi, đó là tầng ba cơ mà."

"Were not the leaves at the foot of the window, mother?"

"Những chiếc lá không ở dưới chân cửa sổ đó sao, mẹ?"

It was quite true; the leaves had been found very near the window.

Điều đó hoàn toàn đúng; những chiếc lá đã được tìm thấy rất gần cửa sổ.

Mrs. Darling did not know what to think, for it all seemed so natural to Wendy that you could not dismiss it by saying she had been dreaming.

Bà Darling không biết phải nghĩ gì, vì tất cả dường như rất tự nhiên đối với Wendy đến mức bạn không thể gạt bỏ nó đi bằng cách nói rằng cô bé đã nằm mơ.

"My child," the mother cried, "why did you not tell me of this before?"

"Con ơi," người mẹ thốt lên, "sao con không kể cho mẹ nghe điều này trước đây?"

"I forgot," said Wendy lightly.

"Con quên mất," Wendy nói nhẹ nhàng.

She was in a hurry to get her breakfast.

Cô bé đang vội đi ăn sáng.

Oh, surely she must have been dreaming.

Ồ, chắc chắn cô bé hẳn đã nằm mơ thôi.

But, on the other hand, there were the leaves.

Nhưng, mặt khác, vẫn còn đó những chiếc lá.

Mrs. Darling examined them very carefully; they were skeleton leaves, but she was sure they did not come from any tree that grew in England.

Bà Darling xem xét chúng rất kỹ lưỡng; chúng là những chiếc lá chỉ còn gân, nhưng bà chắc chắn rằng chúng không đến từ bất kỳ cây nào mọc ở Anh.

She crawled about the floor, peering at it with a candle for marks of a strange foot.

Bà bò khắp sàn nhà, cầm nến soi tìm những dấu vết của một bàn chân lạ.

She rattled the poker up the chimney and tapped the walls.

Bà thọc cái que cời lên ống khói và gõ vào các bức tường.
