The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 2
I cannot wait to kiss that dear old man, who has suffered so much for my sake."
Tôi nóng lòng muốn hôn người ông già thân yêu đó, người đã chịu đựng biết bao đau khổ vì tôi."
"Surely; go ahead, but be careful not to lose your way.
"Được rồi; cứ đi đi, nhưng hãy cẩn thận đừng để lạc đường.
Take the wood path and you'll surely meet him."
Đi theo con đường mòn trong rừng và chắc chắn cháu sẽ gặp ông ấy."
Pinocchio set out, and as soon as he found himself in the wood, he ran like a hare.
Pinocchio lên đường, và ngay khi vào đến trong rừng, cậu chạy nhanh như thỏ.
When he reached the giant oak tree he stopped, for he thought he heard a rustle in the brush.
Khi đến nơi cây sồi khổng lồ, cậu dừng lại, vì cậu tưởng nghe thấy tiếng sột soạt trong bụi cây.
He was right.
Cậu đã đúng.
There stood the Fox and the Cat, the two traveling companions with whom he had eaten at the Inn of the Red Lobster.
Ở đó đứng con Cáo và con Mèo, hai người bạn đồng hành mà cậu đã cùng ăn tại Quán Trọ Con Tôm Hùm Đỏ.
"Here comes our dear Pinocchio!" cried the Fox, hugging and kissing him.
"Pinocchio thân yêu của chúng ta đến rồi!" con Cáo kêu lên, ôm và hôn cậu.
"How did you happen here?"
"Làm sao cậu lại đến đây được vậy?"
"How did you happen here?" repeated the Cat.
"Làm sao cậu lại đến đây được vậy?" con Mèo nhắc lại.
"It is a long story," said the Marionette.
"Đó là một câu chuyện dài," con Rối nói.
"Let me tell it to you.
"Để tôi kể cho các bạn nghe.
The other night, when you left me alone at the Inn, I met the Assassins on the road--"
Đêm hôm đó, khi các bạn bỏ tôi một mình tại quán trọ, tôi đã gặp những tên Sát Nhân trên đường--"
"The Assassins? Oh, my poor friend! And what did they want?"
"Những tên Sát Nhân? Ôi, người bạn tội nghiệp của tôi! Và chúng muốn gì vậy?"
"They wanted my gold pieces."
"Chúng muốn lấy những đồng tiền vàng của tôi."
"Rascals!" said the Fox.
"Đồ côn đồ!" con Cáo nói.
"The worst sort of rascals!" added the Cat.
"Loại côn đồ tệ hại nhất!" con Mèo thêm vào.
"But I began to run," continued the Marionette, "and they after me, until they overtook me and hanged me to the limb of that oak."
"Nhưng tôi bắt đầu chạy," con Rối tiếp tục, "và chúng đuổi theo tôi, cho đến khi chúng bắt kịp tôi và treo cổ tôi lên một cành của cây sồi đó."
Pinocchio pointed to the giant oak near by.
Pinocchio chỉ vào cây sồi khổng lồ ở gần đó.
"Could anything be worse?" said the Fox.
"Có điều gì tệ hơn thế không?" con Cáo nói.
"What an awful world to live in!
"Thật là một thế giới khủng khiếp để sống!
