Ulysses — Page 15

English → Vi Full Text Level 9/10

—What sort of a kip is this? he said. I told her to come after eight.

— Cái chỗ ngủ kiểu gì thế này? anh ta nói. Tôi đã bảo cô ta đến sau tám giờ.

—We can drink it black, Stephen said thirstily. There's a lemon in the locker.

— Chúng ta có thể uống đen, Stephen nói một cách khát khao. Có một quả chanh trong tủ khóa.

—O, damn you and your Paris fads! Buck Mulligan said. I want Sandycove milk.

— Ồ, mặc kệ anh và cái trò kiểu cách Paris của anh! Buck Mulligan nói. Tôi muốn sữa Sandycove.

Haines came in from the doorway and said quietly:

Haines bước vào từ cửa ra vào và nói khẽ:

—That woman is coming up with the milk.

— Người phụ nữ đó đang mang sữa lên.

—The blessings of God on you! Buck Mulligan cried, jumping up from his chair. Sit down. Pour out the tea there. The sugar is in the bag. Here, I can't go fumbling at the damned eggs.

— Phúc lành của Chúa ban cho anh! Buck Mulligan kêu lên, nhảy bật khỏi ghế. Ngồi xuống. Rót trà ra đó. Đường ở trong túi. Này, tôi không thể vừa lóng ngóng với mấy cái trứng chết tiệt vừa làm việc khác được.

He hacked through the fry on the dish and slapped it out on three plates, saying:

Anh ta chặt qua mấy thứ chiên trên đĩa rồi đập chúng ra ba cái đĩa, nói:

—_In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti._

— _In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti._

Haines sat down to pour out the tea.

Haines ngồi xuống để rót trà.

—I'm giving you two lumps each, he said. But, I say, Mulligan, you do make strong tea, don't you?

— Tôi cho mỗi người hai viên đường, anh ta nói. Nhưng, tôi phải nói, Mulligan, anh pha trà đặc thật đấy, phải không?

Buck Mulligan, hewing thick slices from the loaf, said in an old woman's wheedling voice:

Buck Mulligan, đang cắt những lát dày từ ổ bánh mì, nói bằng giọng nũng nịu của một bà già:

—When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.

— Khi tôi pha trà thì tôi pha trà, như bà Grogan già hay nói. Và khi tôi đái thì tôi đái.

—By Jove, it is tea, Haines said.

— Trời ơi, đúng là trà thật, Haines nói.

Buck Mulligan went on hewing and wheedling:

Buck Mulligan tiếp tục cắt bánh và nũng nịu:

—_So I do, Mrs Cahill,_ says she. _Begob, ma'am,_ says Mrs Cahill, _God send you don't make them in the one pot._

— _Đúng vậy, bà Cahill ơi,_ bà ta nói. _Ôi trời, thưa bà,_ bà Cahill nói, _Chúa phù hộ để bà đừng pha chung vào một ấm._

He lunged towards his messmates in turn a thick slice of bread, impaled on his knife.

Anh ta lần lượt chìa về phía từng người bạn cùng bàn một lát bánh mì dày, xiên trên lưỡi dao của anh.

—That's folk, he said very earnestly, for your book, Haines.

— Đó là dân gian đấy, anh ta nói rất nghiêm túc, dành cho cuốn sách của anh, Haines.
