War and Peace — Page 9

English → Vi CHAPTER I Level 8/10

"Arrange that affair for me and I shall always be your most devoted slave-slafe with an f, as a village elder of mine writes in his reports. She is rich and of good family and that's all I want."

"Hãy sắp xếp chuyện đó cho tôi và tôi sẽ mãi mãi là tên nô lệ tận tụy nhất của bà - nô lệ viết theo kiểu chữ f, như một trưởng làng của tôi viết trong báo cáo của hắn. Cô ấy giàu có và xuất thân tốt, thế là đủ đối với tôi rồi."

And with the familiarity and easy grace peculiar to him, he raised the maid of honor's hand to his lips, kissed it, and swung it to and fro as he lay back in his armchair, looking in another direction.

Và với sự thân mật và vẻ duyên dáng tự nhiên đặc trưng của ông, ông nâng bàn tay của nữ quan vinh dự lên môi, hôn lên đó, rồi đung đưa tay cô qua lại trong khi ông ngả người ra trên chiếc ghế bành, nhìn về một hướng khác.

"Attendez," said Anna Pávlovna, reflecting, "I'll speak to Lise, young Bolkónski's wife, this very evening, and perhaps the thing can be arranged.

"Attendez," Anna Pávlovna vừa suy nghĩ vừa nói, "Tôi sẽ nói chuyện với Lise, vợ của chàng Bolkónski trẻ tuổi, ngay tối nay, và có lẽ chuyện đó có thể được sắp xếp.

It shall be on your family's behalf that I'll start my apprenticeship as old maid.

Chính vì lợi ích của gia đình ông mà tôi sẽ bắt đầu cuộc học việc của mình với tư cách là một bà già độc thân.
