The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 3

English → Vi CHAPTER 31 Level 3/10

"And if I go with you, what will my good Fairy say?" asked the Marionette, who was beginning to waver and weaken in his good resolutions.

"Và nếu tôi đi cùng anh, Cô Tiên tốt bụng của tôi sẽ nói gì?" con Rối hỏi, kẻ đang bắt đầu dao động và lung lay trong những quyết tâm tốt đẹp của mình.

"Don't worry so much. Only think that we are going to a land where we shall be allowed to make all the racket we like from morning till night."

"Đừng lo lắng nhiều thế. Hãy chỉ nghĩ rằng chúng ta đang đến một vùng đất nơi chúng ta được phép làm ầm ĩ tùy thích từ sáng đến tối."

Pinocchio did not answer, but sighed deeply once--twice--a third time.

Pinocchio không trả lời, mà thở dài sâu một lần -- hai lần -- rồi lần thứ ba.

Finally, he said:

Cuối cùng, cậu nói:

"Make room for me. I want to go, too!"

"Nhường chỗ cho tôi với. Tôi cũng muốn đi!"

"The seats are all filled," answered the Little Man, "but to show you how much I think of you, take my place as coachman."

"Các chỗ ngồi đều đã đầy cả rồi," người Đàn Ông Nhỏ trả lời, "nhưng để cho anh thấy tôi quý anh đến mức nào, hãy ngồi vào chỗ của tôi làm người đánh xe."

"And you?"

"Còn anh thì sao?"

"I'll walk."

"Tôi sẽ đi bộ."

"No, indeed. I could not permit such a thing. I much prefer riding one of these donkeys," cried Pinocchio.

"Không, thật sự không được. Tôi không thể để điều đó xảy ra. Tôi thích cưỡi một trong những con lừa này hơn," Pinocchio kêu lên.

No sooner said than done. He approached the first donkey and tried to mount it.

Vừa nói xong là làm ngay. Cậu tiến đến con lừa đầu tiên và cố leo lên lưng nó.

But the little animal turned suddenly and gave him such a terrible kick in the stomach that Pinocchio was thrown to the ground and fell with his legs in the air.

Nhưng con vật nhỏ bỗng nhiên quay lại và đá vào bụng cậu một cú kinh khủng đến mức Pinocchio bị hất tung xuống đất và ngã với hai chân chổng lên trời.

At this unlooked-for entertainment, the whole company of runaways laughed uproariously.

Trước màn trình diễn bất ngờ này, cả đám trẻ bỏ trốn cười vang như sấm.

The little fat man did not laugh. He went up to the rebellious animal, and, still smiling, bent over him lovingly and bit off half of his right ear.

Người đàn ông mập nhỏ không cười. Ông ta tiến đến gần con vật bướng bỉnh, và vẫn mỉm cười, cúi xuống âu yếm và cắn đứt một nửa tai phải của nó.

In the meantime, Pinocchio lifted himself up from the ground, and with one leap landed on the donkey's back.

Trong khi đó, Pinocchio tự nhấc mình dậy khỏi mặt đất, và chỉ với một cú nhảy đã đáp xuống lưng con lừa.

The leap was so well taken that all the boys shouted,

Cú nhảy đẹp đến mức tất cả các cậu bé đều reo lên,

"Hurrah for Pinocchio!

"Hoan hô Pinocchio!
