Ulysses — Page 13
For my sake and for all our sakes.
Vì tôi và vì tất cả chúng ta.
His head disappeared and reappeared.
Đầu anh ta biến mất rồi lại hiện ra.
—I told him your symbol of Irish art. He says it's very clever. Touch him for a quid, will you? A guinea, I mean.
—Tôi đã kể cho anh ta nghe về biểu tượng nghệ thuật Ireland của anh. Anh ta nói rằng nó rất thông minh. Xin anh ta một đồng bảng đi, được không? Ý tôi là một guinea.
—I get paid this morning, Stephen said.
—Sáng nay tôi được trả tiền, Stephen nói.
—The school kip? Buck Mulligan said. How much? Four quid? Lend us one.
—Tiền của cái trường đó à? Buck Mulligan nói. Bao nhiêu? Bốn đồng bảng? Cho tôi mượn một đồng.
—If you want it, Stephen said.
—Nếu anh muốn thì lấy đi, Stephen nói.
—Four shining sovereigns, Buck Mulligan cried with delight. We'll have a glorious drunk to astonish the druidy druids. Four omnipotent sovereigns.
—Bốn đồng sovereign lấp lánh, Buck Mulligan reo lên vui mừng. Chúng ta sẽ có một trận say xỉn huy hoàng để làm kinh ngạc mấy tên druids lố bịch. Bốn đồng sovereign toàn năng.
He flung up his hands and tramped down the stone stairs, singing out of tune with a Cockney accent:
Anh ta vung tay lên và bước huỳnh huỵch xuống cầu thang đá, hát lạc giọng với giọng Cockney:
O, won't we have a merry time, Drinking whisky, beer and wine! On coronation, Coronation day! O, won't we have a merry time On coronation day!
Ôi, chúng ta chẳng phải sẽ có những giây phút vui vẻ sao, Uống whisky, bia và rượu vang! Vào ngày đăng quang, Ngày đăng quang! Ôi, chúng ta chẳng phải sẽ có những giây phút vui vẻ sao Vào ngày đăng quang!
Warm sunshine merrying over the sea.
Ánh nắng ấm áp vui đùa trên mặt biển.
The nickel shavingbowl shone, forgotten, on the parapet.
Chiếc chậu cạo râu bằng nickel sáng lên, bị lãng quên, trên bờ tường.
Why should I bring it down? Or leave it there all day, forgotten friendship?
Tại sao tôi phải mang nó xuống? Hay để nó ở đó cả ngày, tình bạn bị lãng quên?
He went over to it, held it in his hands awhile, feeling its coolness, smelling the clammy slaver of the lather in which the brush was stuck.
Anh ta bước lại gần nó, cầm nó trong tay một lúc, cảm nhận sự mát lạnh của nó, ngửi mùi bọt xà phòng ẩm ướt nhờn nhợt mà chiếc cọ đang ngâm trong đó.
So I carried the boat of incense then at Clongowes. I am another now and yet the same. A servant too. A server of a servant.
Vậy là tôi đã từng mang thuyền hương tại Clongowes. Bây giờ tôi là một con người khác mà vẫn là chính mình. Cũng là một kẻ hầu hạ. Kẻ phục vụ của một kẻ phục vụ.
In the gloomy domed livingroom of the tower Buck Mulligan's gowned form moved briskly to and fro about the hearth, hiding and revealing its yellow glow.
Trong căn phòng khách tối tăm hình vòm của tòa tháp, bóng dáng Buck Mulligan trong chiếc áo choàng di chuyển nhanh nhẹn qua lại bên lò sưởi, khi che khuất khi để lộ ánh lửa vàng của nó.
