The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 2

English → Vi CHAPTER 1 Level 3/10

What a look of surprise shone on Mastro Cherry's face! His funny face became still funnier.

Vẻ ngạc nhiên hiện ra trên khuôn mặt của bác Mastro Cherry thật không thể tả! Khuôn mặt buồn cười của bác trở nên còn buồn cười hơn nữa.

He turned frightened eyes about the room to find out where that wee, little voice had come from and he saw no one!

Bác đưa đôi mắt đầy vẻ hoảng sợ nhìn quanh căn phòng để tìm xem giọng nói bé nhỏ kia phát ra từ đâu nhưng chẳng thấy ai!

He looked under the bench--no one!

Bác nhìn dưới ghế băng -- không có ai!

He peeped inside the closet--no one!

Bác nhòm vào trong tủ -- không có ai!

He searched among the shavings--no one!

Bác tìm kiếm trong đống dăm bào -- không có ai!

He opened the door to look up and down the street--and still no one!

Bác mở cửa nhìn dọc theo con phố -- vẫn không có ai!

"Oh, I see!" he then said, laughing and scratching his Wig. "It can easily be seen that I only thought I heard the tiny voice say the words! Well, well--to work once more."

"Ồ, tôi hiểu rồi!" bác nói, vừa cười vừa gãi cái bộ tóc giả. "Rõ ràng là tôi chỉ tưởng tượng mình nghe thấy giọng nói bé nhỏ đó thôi! Thôi nào -- làm việc tiếp thôi."

He struck a most solemn blow upon the piece of wood.

Bác giáng một nhát thật mạnh và dứt khoát xuống khúc gỗ.

"Oh, oh! You hurt!" cried the same far-away little voice.

"Ôi, ôi! Đau quá!" giọng nói bé nhỏ xa xa đó lại cất lên.

Mastro Cherry grew dumb, his eyes popped out of his head, his mouth opened wide, and his tongue hung down on his chin.

Bác Mastro Cherry há hốc mồm, đôi mắt trợn tròn, miệng mở to, và lưỡi thè ra tận cằm.

As soon as he regained the use of his senses, he said, trembling and stuttering from fright:

Ngay khi lấy lại được bình tĩnh, bác run rẩy và lắp bắp nói:

"Where did that voice come from, when there is no one around? Might it be that this piece of wood has learned to weep and cry like a child? I can hardly believe it. Here it is--a piece of common firewood, good only to burn in the stove, the same as any other. Yet--might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I'll fix him!

"Giọng nói đó từ đâu vọng ra, trong khi xung quanh chẳng có ai? Lẽ nào khúc gỗ này lại biết khóc lóc như một đứa trẻ? Tôi khó mà tin được điều đó. Đây chỉ là -- một khúc củi bình thường, chỉ dùng để đốt trong lò, giống như bao khúc củi khác. Thế mà -- liệu có ai đó đang ẩn náu bên trong không? Nếu vậy thì càng tệ hơn cho hắn. Tôi sẽ trị hắn!
