Ulysses — Page 14

English → Vi Full Text Level 9/10

Two shafts of soft daylight fell across the flagged floor from the high barbacans: and at the meeting of their rays a cloud of coalsmoke and fumes of fried grease floated, turning.

Hai luồng ánh sáng ban ngày dịu nhẹ xuyên qua sàn đá lát từ những lỗ châu mai cao: và tại nơi các tia sáng gặp nhau, một đám khói than và mùi mỡ chiên bay lên, xoay vòng.

—We'll be choked, Buck Mulligan said. Haines, open that door, will you?

— Chúng ta sẽ bị ngạt thở mất, Buck Mulligan nói. Haines, mở cái cửa đó ra, được không?

Stephen laid the shavingbowl on the locker.

Stephen đặt cái chậu cạo râu lên tủ khóa.

A tall figure rose from the hammock where it had been sitting, went to the doorway and pulled open the inner doors.

Một bóng người cao lớn đứng dậy từ chiếc võng nơi anh ta đang ngồi, đi đến cửa ra vào và kéo mở những cánh cửa bên trong.

—Have you the key? a voice asked.

— Anh có chìa khóa không? một giọng hỏi.

—Dedalus has it, Buck Mulligan said. Janey Mack, I'm choked!

— Dedalus có đấy, Buck Mulligan nói. Janey Mack, tôi ngạt thở rồi!

He howled, without looking up from the fire:

Anh ta hét lên, không ngẩng mắt khỏi đống lửa:

—Kinch!

— Kinch!

—It's in the lock, Stephen said, coming forward.

— Nó đang ở trong ổ khóa, Stephen nói, bước về phía trước.

The key scraped round harshly twice and, when the heavy door had been set ajar, welcome light and bright air entered.

Chìa khóa cọ xát thô ráp hai vòng và, khi cánh cửa nặng nề được hé mở, ánh sáng dễ chịu và không khí trong lành tràn vào.

Haines stood at the doorway, looking out.

Haines đứng ở cửa ra vào, nhìn ra ngoài.

Stephen haled his upended valise to the table and sat down to wait.

Stephen kéo chiếc vali dựng đứng của mình ra bàn và ngồi xuống chờ đợi.

Buck Mulligan tossed the fry on to the dish beside him.

Buck Mulligan hất đồ chiên lên đĩa bên cạnh anh ta.

Then he carried the dish and a large teapot over to the table, set them down heavily and sighed with relief.

Rồi anh ta mang cái đĩa và một chiếc ấm trà lớn ra bàn, đặt chúng xuống nặng nề và thở phào nhẹ nhõm.

—I'm melting, he said, as the candle remarked when... But, hush! Not a word more on that subject! Kinch, wake up! Bread, butter, honey. Haines, come in. The grub is ready. Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts. Where's the sugar? O, jay, there's no milk.

— Tôi đang tan chảy, anh ta nói, như ngọn nến đã nhận xét khi... Nhưng, im nào! Đừng nói thêm một lời nào về chuyện đó nữa! Kinch, thức dậy đi! Bánh mì, bơ, mật ong. Haines, vào đây. Bữa ăn đã sẵn sàng. Xin Chúa ban phước cho chúng con và những món quà của Ngài. Đường đâu rồi? Ôi trời, không có sữa.

Stephen fetched the loaf and the pot of honey and the buttercooler from the locker.

Stephen lấy ổ bánh mì, hũ mật ong và hộp đựng bơ từ tủ khóa ra.

Buck Mulligan sat down in a sudden pet.

Buck Mulligan ngồi xuống trong cơn bực bội bất chợt.
