KHÓ KHI PHIÊN DỊCH với CÂU PHỤ- EVEN THOUGH, WOULD

At first, it was just one word,
and even though Philip knew the word for the toy he wanted,
he wouldn't say it until he realized it was the only way
his parents would give it to him.

(Mới đầu, nó đã chỉ là 1 từ, và dẫu cho Philip có biết cái từ ấy để chỉ món đồ chơi
mà nó đã muốn đi chăng nữa, nó cũng hổng chừng không nói ra
cho đến khi nó đã nhận ra đó là cách duy nhất
ba má nó sẽ hổng chừng cho nó món đồ ấy.)
