Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 7
Then Ben Rogers says:
Então Ben Rogers diz:
"Here's Huck Finn, he hain't got no family; what you going to do 'bout him?"
"Aqui está o Huck Finn, ele não tem família nenhuma; o que vocês vão fazer com ele?"
"Well, hain't he got a father?" says Tom Sawyer.
"Bem, ele não tem pai?" diz Tom Sawyer.
"Yes, he's got a father, but you can't never find him these days.
"Sim, ele tem um pai, mas você nunca consegue encontrá-lo hoje em dia.
He used to lay drunk with the hogs in the tanyard, but he hain't been seen in these parts for a year or more."
Ele costumava ficar bêbado com os porcos no curtume, mas não é visto por aqui há um ano ou mais."
They talked it over, and they was going to rule me out, because they said every boy must have a family or somebody to kill, or else it wouldn't be fair and square for the others.
Eles conversaram sobre o assunto, e iam me excluir, porque disseram que todo menino precisava ter uma família ou alguém para matar, senão não seria justo para os outros.
Well, nobody could think of anything to do—everybody was stumped, and set still.
Bem, ninguém conseguia pensar em nada a fazer — todo mundo estava perplexo e quieto.
I was most ready to cry; but all at once I thought of a way, and so I offered them Miss Watson—they could kill her.
Eu estava quase pronto para chorar; mas de repente pensei em uma saída, e então ofereci a eles a Miss Watson — eles podiam matá-la.
Everybody said:
Todo mundo disse:
"Oh, she'll do. That's all right. Huck can come in."
"Ah, ela serve. Está bem. O Huck pode entrar."
Then they all stuck a pin in their fingers to get blood to sign with, and I made my mark on the paper.
Então todos espetaram um alfinete nos dedos para tirar sangue para assinar, e eu fiz minha marca no papel.
"Now," says Ben Rogers, "what's the line of business of this Gang?"
"Agora," diz Ben Rogers, "qual é o ramo de negócios desta Gangue?"
"Nothing only robbery and murder," Tom said.
"Nada além de roubo e assassinato," disse Tom.
"But who are we going to rob?—houses, or cattle, or—"
"Mas quem vamos roubar? — casas, ou gado, ou —"
"Stuff! stealing cattle and such things ain't robbery; it's burglary," says Tom Sawyer.
"Bobagem! Roubar gado e essas coisas não é assalto; é furto," diz Tom Sawyer.
"We ain't burglars. That ain't no sort of style. We are highwaymen.
"Nós não somos ladrões. Isso não tem estilo nenhum. Nós somos salteadores.
