Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 9

English → Pt Preface Level 5/10

And it'll fetch things when you throw them, and it'll sit up and beg for its dinner, and all sorts of things—I can't remember half of them—and it belongs to a farmer, you know, and he says it's so useful, it's worth a hundred pounds!

E ele vai buscar as coisas quando você as joga, e vai sentar e implorar pelo seu jantar, e todo tipo de coisas — não consigo me lembrar nem da metade delas — e ele pertence a um fazendeiro, sabe, e ele diz que é tão útil que vale cem libras!

He says it kills all the rats and—oh dear!" cried Alice in a sorrowful tone, "I'm afraid I've offended it again!"

Ele diz que mata todos os ratos e — ai, meu Deus! — exclamou Alice em tom pesaroso, — temo ter ofendido ele de novo!

For the Mouse was swimming away from her as hard as it could go, and making quite a commotion in the pool as it went.

Pois o Rato estava nadando para longe dela o mais rápido que podia, e fazendo uma grande agitação na lagoa enquanto ia embora.

So she called softly after it, "Mouse dear! Do come back again, and we won't talk about cats or dogs either, if you don't like them!"

Então ela chamou baixinho atrás dele, — Ratinho querido! Volte, por favor, e não falaremos mais sobre gatos nem sobre cães, se você não gostar deles!

When the Mouse heard this, it turned round and swam slowly back to her: its face was quite pale (with passion, Alice thought), and it said in a low trembling voice, "Let us get to the shore, and then I'll tell you my history, and you'll understand why it is I hate cats and dogs."

Quando o Rato ouviu isso, virou-se e nadou lentamente de volta para ela: seu rosto estava bem pálido (de emoção, pensou Alice), e disse com voz baixa e trêmula, — Vamos chegar à margem, e então vou lhe contar minha história, e você vai entender por que odeio gatos e cães.

It was high time to go, for the pool was getting quite crowded with the birds and animals that had fallen into it: there were a Duck and a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet, and several other curious creatures.

Já era hora de sair, pois a lagoa estava ficando bastante cheia com os pássaros e animais que haviam caído nela: havia um Pato e um Dodô, um Lório e uma Águia jovem, e várias outras criaturas curiosas.

Alice led the way, and the whole party swam to the shore.

Alice abriu o caminho, e todo o grupo nadou até a margem.
