The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 1

English → Vi CHAPTER 24 Level 3/10

Pinocchio reaches the Island of the Busy Bees and finds the Fairy once more.

Pinocchio đến Đảo của những Con Ong Chăm Chỉ và gặp lại Nàng Tiên một lần nữa.

Pinocchio, spurred on by the hope of finding his father and of being in time to save him, swam all night long.

Pinocchio, được thúc đẩy bởi hy vọng tìm thấy cha và kịp thời cứu ông, đã bơi suốt đêm dài.

And what a horrible night it was! It poured rain, it hailed, it thundered, and the lightning was so bright that it turned the night into day.

Và đó là một đêm kinh khủng biết bao! Mưa trút xuống xối xả, mưa đá rơi lộp độp, sấm sét vang rền, và những tia chớp sáng đến mức biến đêm tối thành ban ngày.

At dawn, he saw, not far away from him, a long stretch of sand. It was an island in the middle of the sea.

Lúc bình minh, cậu nhìn thấy, không xa mình lắm, một dải cát dài. Đó là một hòn đảo giữa biển khơi.

Pinocchio tried his best to get there, but he couldn't. The waves played with him and tossed him about as if he were a twig or a bit of straw. At last, and luckily for him, a tremendous wave tossed him to the very spot where he wanted to be. The blow from the wave was so strong that, as he fell to the ground, his joints cracked and almost broke. But, nothing daunted, he jumped to his feet and cried:

Pinocchio cố hết sức để bơi vào đó, nhưng cậu không thể. Những con sóng đùa giỡn với cậu và hất cậu qua lại như thể cậu chỉ là một cành cây nhỏ hay một nắm rơm. Cuối cùng, và thật may mắn cho cậu, một con sóng khổng lồ đã ném cậu đúng vào chỗ cậu muốn đến. Cú va chạm từ con sóng mạnh đến nỗi khi cậu ngã xuống đất, các khớp xương kêu răng rắc và suýt gãy. Nhưng, không hề nản lòng, cậu bật dậy và kêu lên:

"Once more I have escaped with my life!"

"Một lần nữa ta đã thoát chết!"

Little by little the sky cleared. The sun came out in full splendor and the sea became as calm as a lake.

Dần dần bầu trời quang đãng trở lại. Mặt trời ló dạng rực rỡ và biển trở nên yên lặng như một mặt hồ.

Then the Marionette took off his clothes and laid them on the sand to dry. He looked over the waters to see whether he might catch sight of a boat with a little man in it.

Rồi chú Rối cởi quần áo ra và trải chúng lên cát để phơi khô. Cậu nhìn ra mặt biển để xem liệu có thể nhìn thấy một chiếc thuyền với một người đàn ông nhỏ bé trên đó hay không.
