The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 2

English → Vi CHAPTER 20 Level 3/10

And will the Fairy ever forgive me for all I have done?

Và liệu Nàng Tiên có bao giờ tha thứ cho tôi vì tất cả những gì tôi đã làm không?

She who has been so good to me and to whom I owe my life!

Người đã tốt bụng với tôi đến vậy và người mà tôi mang ơn cả cuộc đời!

Can there be a worse or more heartless boy than I am anywhere?"

Liệu có cậu bé nào tệ hơn hay vô tâm hơn tôi ở bất cứ đâu không?"

As he spoke, he stopped suddenly, frozen with terror.

Đang nói, cậu bỗng dừng lại đột ngột, đứng chết lặng vì kinh hãi.

What was the matter?

Chuyện gì vậy?

An immense Serpent lay stretched across the road--a Serpent with a bright green skin, fiery eyes which glowed and burned, and a pointed tail that smoked like a chimney.

Một con Rắn khổng lồ nằm vắt ngang đường -- một con Rắn với làn da xanh sáng bóng, đôi mắt rực lửa sáng lên và bừng cháy, và cái đuôi nhọn bốc khói như một ống khói.

How frightened was poor Pinocchio!

Pinocchio tội nghiệp sợ hãi biết chừng nào!

He ran back wildly for half a mile, and at last settled himself atop a heap of stones to wait for the Serpent to go on his way and leave the road clear for him.

Cậu chạy ngược trở lại điên cuồng được nửa dặm, rồi cuối cùng ngồi xuống trên một đống đá để chờ con Rắn tiếp tục đi và nhường đường cho cậu.

He waited an hour; two hours; three hours; but the Serpent was always there, and even from afar one could see the flash of his red eyes and the column of smoke which rose from his long, pointed tail.

Cậu chờ một tiếng; hai tiếng; ba tiếng; nhưng con Rắn vẫn cứ ở đó, và ngay cả từ xa người ta cũng có thể thấy ánh lóe của đôi mắt đỏ và cột khói bốc lên từ cái đuôi dài nhọn của nó.

Pinocchio, trying to feel very brave, walked straight up to him and said in a sweet, soothing voice:

Pinocchio, cố tỏ ra rất dũng cảm, bước thẳng đến gần nó và nói bằng giọng ngọt ngào, nhẹ nhàng:

"I beg your pardon, Mr. Serpent, would you be so kind as to step aside to let me pass?"

"Xin lỗi ngài, thưa ông Rắn, ngài có vui lòng dạt sang một bên để cho tôi đi qua không?"

He might as well have talked to a wall.

Cậu nói chẳng khác gì nói chuyện với bức tường.

The Serpent never moved.

Con Rắn không hề nhúc nhích.

Once more, in the same sweet voice, he spoke:

Một lần nữa, bằng giọng ngọt ngào như trước, cậu lên tiếng:

"You must know, Mr. Serpent, that I am going home where my father is waiting for me.

"Ngài hẳn phải biết, thưa ông Rắn, rằng tôi đang trên đường về nhà nơi cha tôi đang chờ tôi.

It is so long since I have seen him!

Đã lâu lắm rồi tôi không được gặp ông ấy!
