"Happy birthday! This is your dad calling," Dad said. Dad always identified himself, as if after 60 years Joel didn't recognize his own dad's voice. "Well, you're getting pretty old, aren't you?" Dad asked.

"I sure am," Joel said. "In fact, I'm the same age you were 20 years ago!"

"Yes, who'd ever think that they wished they were 60 again," said his dad. "This aging process is certainly no fun."

"You can say that again," Joel said. But as they say, it's a lot better than the alternative. As long as you're reasonably healthy in mind and body. They both agreed.

His dad and mom were still quite active. They lived together in their house. They both drove. They both played golf regularly and were active volunteers in the community.

But, such independence would not last forever. Both of them would eventually need part-time or full-time nursing assistance at home, or maybe even have to be moved into a nursing home.

What a quiet end that will be, Joel thought, to such fun, productive, and eventful lives. Lying in a bed in a nursing home, waiting for relatives and friends to come visit. Waiting for the nurse's aide to bring medication, dinner, or an extra blanket. Waiting for help to use the bathroom.

Much of that time spent waiting would also be spent in thought. What do people think about when they know their time is almost up, Joel wondered.

*Translate into Vietnamese:

Cái chết là một phần của cuộc sống

"Mừng sinh nhật! Đây là cuộc gọi của cha," người cha nói. Người cha luôn luôn tự xác định mình, lỡ như mà 60 năm sau Joel không nhận ra được giọng nói của cha mình. "Được rồi, con đang ngày càng già đi, phải không con?" Người cha hỏi.

"Con chắc như vậy," Joel nói. "Sự thật là con bằng tuổi của cha 20 năm trước."

"Vâng, ai mà chẳng từng ước được trẻ lại 60 tuổi chứ," người cha nói. "Quá trình già đi chẳng có gì vui hết."

"Cha nói lại đi," Joel nói. Nhưng khi họ nói, điều đó tốt hơn sự thay thế. Miễn là bạn có một bộ óc minh mẫn và một cơ thể khoẻ mạnh. Cả hai đồng ý.

Cha và mẹ anh ta vẫn khá khoẻ. Họ sống cùng nhau trong căn nhà của họ. Cả hai đều lái xe. Họ cùng chơi gôn thường xuyên và khá năng động trong công viẽc từ thiện cộng đồng.

Nhưng sự tự do không kéo dài mãi. Cả hai người họ cuối cùng cũng cần sự chăm sóc y tế một lúc hay cả ngày tại nhà, hoặc có lẽ phải chuyển tới một căn nhà y tế.

Một kết thúc yên bình, Joel nghĩ, một cuộc đời vui vẻ, hữu ích và có nhiều sự kiện. Nằm trên giường y tá, đợi người thân và bạn bè tới thăm. Đợi sự giúp đỡ của y tá mang thuốc, bữa tối hay thêm một cái mền. Đợi được giúp đỡ để sử dũng phòng tắm.

Hầu như thời gian chờ đợi sẽ trải qua trong suy nghĩ. Con người sẽ nghĩ gì khi họ biết là cuộc sống của họ sắp tàn, Joel thắc mắc.

*Fill in the blanks:
------------------------------------------------------------------

"Happy birthday! This is your dad calling," Dad said . Dad always identified himself, as if after 60 years Joel didn't recognize his own dad's voice. "Well, you're getting pretty old, aren't you?" Dad asked.

"I sure am," Joel said. "In fact, I'm the same ageyou were 20 years ago!"

"Yes, who'd ever think that they wished they were 60 again," said his dad. "This aging process is certainly no fun."

"You can say that again," Joel said. But as they say, it's a lot better than the alternative. As long as you're reasonably healthy in mind and body . They both agreed.

His dad and mom were still quite active. They lived together in their house. They both drove. They both played golf regularly and were active volunteers in the community.

But, such independence would not last forever. Both of them would eventually need part-time or full-time nursing assistance at home, or maybe even have to be moved into a nursing home .

What a quiet end that will be, Joel thought , to such fun, productive, and eventful lives. Lying in a bed in a nursing home, waiting for relatives and friends to come visit. Waiting for the nurse ’s aide to bring medication, dinner, or an extra blanket . Waiting for help to use the bathroom.

Much of that time spent waiting would also be spent in thought. What do people think about when they know their time is almost up, Joel wondered.


===========================================================

*Translate into Vietnamese:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Chúc mừng sinh nhật! Bố đang gọi cho con đây," Người cha nói thế. Người cha luôn luôn tự xác nhận bản thân mình, như thể sau 60 năm Joel không còn nhận ra được giọng nói của bố mình nữa. "Thế nào, con đang ngày càng già đi, phải không con?" Người cha hỏi.

"Con chắc là thế rồi," Joel nói. "Thật ra, con ở cùng độ tuổi của bố 20 năm trước!"

"Ừ, có ai từng nghĩ rằng họ ao ước trở lại tuổi 60," bố ông nói. "Quá trình lão hoá chắc chắn không vui chút nào cả."

"Con hoàn toàn đồng ý với bố,"Joel nói. Nhưng theo như người ta nói thì tuổi già không có gì đáng sợ vì vẫn có nhiều niềm vui khác nữa. Chỉ cần bạn có một trí tuệ minh mẫn và một cơ thể khoẻ mạnh vừa phải. Cả hai người đều đồng ý.

Bố và mẹ anh vẫn còn khá nhanh nhẹn. Họ cùng sống trong ngôi nhà của mình. Cả hai người đều lái xe được. Cả hai người đều đánh gôn thường xuyên và là những tình nguyện viên tích cực trong cộng đồng.

Nhưng, sự độc lập như thế sẽ không kéo dài mãi mãi. Cuối cùng cả hai người sẽ cần đến nhân viên điều dưỡng bán thời gian hoặc toàn thời gian tại nhà, hoặc có thể phải chuyển đến nhà điều dưỡng.

Một sự kết thúc lặng lẽ sẽ đến, Joel suy nghĩ, cho một cuộc sống vui vẻ, hữu ích, và sôi động như thế sao. Nằm dài trên giường trong căn nhà điều dưỡng, đợi chờ người thân và bạn bè đến thăm viếng. Đợi chờ nhân viên điều dưỡng mang thuốc men, bữa ăn tối, hoặc một cái mền bổ sung. Đợi chờ được giúp đỡ trong việc đi vệ sinh.

Phần lớn thời gian được dùng để chờ đợi cũng sẽ được dùng để nghĩ ngợi. Người ta sẽ nghĩ về điều gì khi biết thời giờ của họ sắp hết, Joel tự hỏi.

@ chị HoangThiQuynhNhu thân mến:

Tiếng Anh thiệt rắc rối phải không chị? Lại idiom và rồi lại idiom!

"You can say that again," Joel said. But as they say, it's a lot better than the alternative.

"Bố có thể nói lại điều đó lần nữa,"Joel nói. Nhưng khi họ nói, điều đó tốt hơn những chuyện khác.


1.'You can say that again' = tôi/con hoàn toàn đồng ý với bạn/bố.

Idiom Definitions for 'You can say that again'

If you want to agree strongly with what someone has said, you can say 'You can say that again' as a way of doing so.
• Category: General
• View examples in Google: You can say that again
http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/i ... again.html


2. But as they say = Nhưng người ta nói rằng/ Theo như người ta nói thì...(they= người ta).

3. It's better than the alternative?

It thế cho aging process; alternative thế cho cuộc sống bên kia thế giới, theo người đạo Công giáo là Thiên Đàng, nơi có cuộc sống tốt đẹp hơn, đáng mong ước hơn cho người lành.

Đây là một câu nói vui, ý nói tuổi già không hẳn là đáng sợ nhưng vẫn còn có nhiều niềm vui và hạnh phúc.

It's better than the alternative?
Aging: What The Bible Has To Say
By J. Stephen Lang

CBN.com -- Who wants to grow old? Comedian George Burns, who lived past one hundred, quipped, "It's better than the alternative." But is it? For the Christian, the alternative to living on in this world is -- heaven. God's Word has a lot to say about heaven, but also a lot to say about aging. We can be thankful that the Lord has a more gracious attitude toward aging than our youth-obsessed society does.
Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life.
Proverbs 16:31
http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/CBNTea ... aging.aspx


Chúc chị vui, khoẻ.

Hi, anh phamdinhphung,

Thật là vui vì anh biết đó là đoạn văn mình mù tịt không biết phải dịch thế nào nên đành phải dịch đại như thế. Mình phải viết font chữ nghiêng vì không hiểu hết ý của các câu đó.

Riêng về các idioms thì có lẽ anh phải giúp mình dài dài vì mình chỉ biết được vài câu thôi.

Cám ơn anh rất nhiều vì đã bỏ ra không ít thời gian cho các bài dịch của mình. Các bài học ngày càng khó hơn nên anh nhớ giúp thêm nhé.

Chúc anh vui khoẻ.
