A Study in Scarlet — Page 7

English → Pt CHAPTER I. Level 6/10

"And yet you say he is not a medical student?"

"E no entanto o senhor diz que ele não é um estudante de medicina?"

"No. Heaven knows what the objects of his studies are. But here we are, and you must form your own impressions about him."

"Não. Só Deus sabe quais são os objetos dos seus estudos. Mas aqui estamos, e o senhor deve formar as suas próprias impressões sobre ele."

As he spoke, we turned down a narrow lane and passed through a small side-door, which opened into a wing of the great hospital.

Enquanto falava, viramos por uma viela estreita e passamos por uma pequena porta lateral, que dava para uma ala do grande hospital.

It was familiar ground to me, and I needed no guiding as we ascended the bleak stone staircase and made our way down the long corridor with its vista of whitewashed wall and dun-coloured doors.

Era um lugar que me era familiar, e não precisei de orientação enquanto subíamos a sombria escadaria de pedra e percorríamos o longo corredor com sua vista de paredes caiadas e portas de cor parda.

Near the further end a low arched passage branched away from it and led to the chemical laboratory.

Perto da extremidade mais distante, uma passagem baixa em arco se ramificava e conduzia ao laboratório de química.

This was a lofty chamber, lined and littered with countless bottles.

Era uma câmara alta, revestida e repleta de inúmeras garrafas.

Broad, low tables were scattered about, which bristled with retorts, test-tubes, and little Bunsen lamps, with their blue flickering flames.

Mesas largas e baixas estavam espalhadas pelo local, cobertas de retortas, tubos de ensaio e pequenas lâmpadas Bunsen, com suas chamas azuis e cintilantes.

There was only one student in the room, who was bending over a distant table absorbed in his work.

Havia apenas um estudante na sala, que se debruçava sobre uma mesa distante, absorto em seu trabalho.

At the sound of our steps he glanced round and sprang to his feet with a cry of pleasure.

Ao som de nossos passos, ele olhou em volta e saltou de seus pés com um grito de prazer.

"I've found it! I've found it," he shouted to my companion, running towards us with a test-tube in his hand.

"Encontrei! Encontrei", gritou ele para o meu companheiro, correndo em nossa direção com um tubo de ensaio na mão.

"I have found a re-agent which is precipitated by hæmoglobin, and by nothing else."

"Encontrei um reagente que é precipitado pela hemoglobina, e por nada mais."

Had he discovered a gold mine, greater delight could not have shone upon his features.

Se tivesse descoberto uma mina de ouro, maior alegria não poderia ter brilhado em seu rosto.

"Dr. Watson, Mr. Sherlock Holmes," said Stamford, introducing us.

"Dr. Watson, Sr. Sherlock Holmes", disse Stamford, nos apresentando.

"How are you?

"Como vai?
