Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 1

English → Pt CHAPTER I. Level 6/10

You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; but that ain't no matter.

Você não sabe nada sobre mim a não ser que tenha lido um livro chamado As Aventuras de Tom Sawyer; mas isso não tem importância.

That book was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainly.

Esse livro foi escrito pelo Sr. Mark Twain, e ele contou a verdade, na maior parte.

There was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.

Havia coisas que ele exagerou, mas na maior parte ele contou a verdade.

That is nothing.

Isso não é nada.

I never seen anybody but lied one time or another, without it was Aunt Polly, or the widow, or maybe Mary.

Nunca vi ninguém que não tivesse mentido uma vez ou outra, exceto talvez a Tia Polly, ou a viúva, ou talvez Mary.

Aunt Polly—Tom's Aunt Polly, she is—and Mary, and the Widow Douglas is all told about in that book, which is mostly a true book, with some stretchers, as I said before.

A Tia Polly — a Tia Polly do Tom, ela mesma — e Mary, e a Viúva Douglas são todas mencionadas naquele livro, que é em sua maior parte um livro verdadeiro, com alguns exageros, como eu disse antes.

Now the way that the book winds up is this: Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich.

Agora, o jeito que o livro termina é assim: Tom e eu encontramos o dinheiro que os ladrões esconderam na caverna, e isso nos tornou ricos.

We got six thousand dollars apiece—all gold.

Conseguimos seis mil dólares cada um — tudo em ouro.

It was an awful sight of money when it was piled up.

Era uma quantidade assombrosa de dinheiro quando estava empilhado.

Well, Judge Thatcher he took it and put it out at interest, and it fetched us a dollar a day apiece all the year round—more than a body could tell what to do with.

Bem, o Juiz Thatcher ficou com ele e o colocou a render juros, e isso nos rendia um dólar por dia cada um durante o ano todo — mais do que alguém saberia o que fazer.

The Widow Douglas she took me for her son, and allowed she would sivilize me; but it was rough living in the house all the time, considering how dismal regular and decent the widow was in all her ways; and so when I couldn't stand it no longer I lit out.

A Viúva Douglas me adotou como filho, e resolveu que iria me civilizar; mas era difícil viver na casa o tempo todo, considerando o quão tediosamente regrada e decente a viúva era em todos os seus modos; e assim quando eu não aguentei mais, eu fugi.
