The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 6
I did listen to my playmates and now I am paying for it! Oh! Oh! Oh!"
Tôi đã nghe theo những người bạn chơi của mình và bây giờ tôi đang phải trả giá cho điều đó! Ôi! Ôi! Ôi!"
And as he struggled and squirmed like an eel to escape from him, the Green Fisherman took a stout cord and tied him hand and foot, and threw him into the bottom of the tub with the others.
Và khi cậu vùng vẫy và quằn quại như một con lươn để thoát khỏi tay hắn, người Ngư Phủ Xanh lấy một sợi dây thừng chắc chắn và trói tay chân cậu lại, rồi ném cậu xuống đáy thùng cùng với những con cá khác.
Then he pulled a wooden bowl full of flour out of a cupboard and started to roll the fish into it, one by one.
Rồi hắn lấy ra từ trong tủ một cái bát gỗ đầy bột mì và bắt đầu lăn từng con cá vào trong đó, từng con một.
When they were white with it, he threw them into the pan.
Khi chúng đã được phủ trắng bột, hắn ném chúng vào chảo.
The first to dance in the hot oil were the mullets, the bass followed, then the whitefish, the flounders, and the anchovies.
Những con đầu tiên nhảy múa trong dầu nóng là những con cá đối, tiếp theo là cá vược, rồi đến cá trắng, cá bơn, và cá cơm.
Pinocchio's turn came last.
Đến lượt Pinocchio là cuối cùng.
Seeing himself so near to death (and such a horrible death!) he began to tremble so with fright that he had no voice left with which to beg for his life.
Thấy mình đang ở gần cái chết như vậy (và đó là một cái chết thật khủng khiếp!), cậu bắt đầu run rẩy vì sợ hãi đến mức không còn tiếng nào để cầu xin cho mạng sống của mình.
The poor boy beseeched only with his eyes.
Cậu bé tội nghiệp chỉ có thể van xin bằng đôi mắt.
But the Green Fisherman, not even noticing that it was he, turned him over and over in the flour until he looked like a Marionette made of chalk.
Nhưng người Ngư Phủ Xanh, thậm chí không nhận ra đó là cậu, cứ lăn cậu qua lăn lại trong bột cho đến khi cậu trông giống như một con Rối được làm bằng phấn.
Then he took him by the head and . .
Rồi hắn cầm lấy đầu cậu và . .
