The Adventures of Pinocchio — Page 2

English → Vi CHAPTER 36 Level 3/10

Father and son were really about to drown when they heard a voice like a guitar out of tune call from the sea:

Cha và con thực sự sắp chết đuối thì họ nghe thấy một giọng nói như tiếng đàn ghi-ta lạc điệu vọng lên từ biển:

"What is the trouble?"

"Có chuyện gì vậy?"

"It is I and my poor father."

"Là tôi và người cha tội nghiệp của tôi."

"I know the voice. You are Pinocchio."

"Tôi nhận ra giọng nói này. Cậu là Pinocchio."

"Exactly. And you?"

"Đúng vậy. Còn bạn?"

"I am the Tunny, your companion in the Shark's stomach."

"Tôi là cá Ngừ, người bạn đồng hành của cậu trong bụng cá Mập."

"And how did you escape?"

"Và bạn đã thoát ra bằng cách nào?"

"I imitated your example. You are the one who showed me the way and after you went, I followed."

"Tôi làm theo gương của cậu. Chính cậu là người chỉ đường cho tôi, và sau khi cậu đi, tôi cũng đi theo."

"Tunny, you arrived at the right moment! I implore you, for the love you bear your children, the little Tunnies, to help us, or we are lost!"

"Cá Ngừ ơi, bạn đến đúng lúc quá! Tôi van xin bạn, vì tình yêu thương bạn dành cho những đứa con của mình, những chú cá Ngừ nhỏ, hãy giúp chúng tôi, nếu không chúng tôi sẽ chết mất!"

"With great pleasure indeed. Hang onto my tail, both of you, and let me lead you. In a twinkling you will be safe on land."

"Rất vui lòng được giúp. Cả hai hãy bám vào đuôi tôi, và để tôi dẫn đường. Chỉ trong nháy mắt các bạn sẽ được an toàn trên bờ."

Geppetto and Pinocchio, as you can easily imagine, did not refuse the invitation; indeed, instead of hanging onto the tail, they thought it better to climb on the Tunny's back.

Geppetto và Pinocchio, như bạn có thể dễ dàng hình dung, đã không từ chối lời mời; thậm chí, thay vì bám vào đuôi, họ thấy tốt hơn là leo lên lưng cá Ngừ.

"Are we too heavy?" asked Pinocchio.

"Chúng tôi có nặng quá không?" Pinocchio hỏi.

"Heavy? Not in the least. You are as light as sea-shells," answered the Tunny, who was as large as a two-year-old horse.

"Nặng ư? Không chút nào. Các bạn nhẹ như vỏ sò biển," cá Ngừ trả lời, con cá to bằng một con ngựa hai tuổi.

As soon as they reached the shore, Pinocchio was the first to jump to the ground to help his old father.

Ngay khi họ đến bờ, Pinocchio là người đầu tiên nhảy xuống đất để giúp người cha già của mình.

Then he turned to the fish and said to him:

Rồi cậu quay sang con cá và nói với nó:

"Dear friend, you have saved my father, and I have not enough words with which to thank you!

"Người bạn thân mến, bạn đã cứu cha tôi, và tôi không có đủ lời để cảm ơn bạn!
