Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 5

English → Pt CHAPTER I. Level 5/10

(Dinah was the cat.) "I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time.

(Dinah era a gata.) "Espero que se lembrem de sua tigela de leite na hora do chá.

Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me!

Dinah, minha querida! Quem me dera que você estivesse aqui embaixo comigo!

There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that's very like a mouse, you know.

Não há ratos no ar, receio, mas você poderia pegar um morcego, e isso é muito parecido com um rato, você sabe.

But do cats eat bats, I wonder?"

Mas será que gatos comem morcegos, eu me pergunto?"

And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, "Do cats eat bats?

E aqui Alice começou a ficar bastante sonolenta, e continuou dizendo para si mesma, de um jeito sonhador, "Os gatos comem morcegos?

Do cats eat bats?"

Os gatos comem morcegos?"

and sometimes, "Do bats eat cats?"

e às vezes, "Os morcegos comem gatos?"

for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it.

pois, veja bem, como ela não conseguia responder a nenhuma das perguntas, não importava muito de que jeito ela a colocava.

She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, "Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?"

Ela sentiu que estava cochilando, e havia justamente começado a sonhar que estava caminhando de mãos dadas com Dinah, e dizendo a ela muito seriamente, "Agora, Dinah, me diga a verdade: você já comeu um morcego?"

when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

quando de repente, bum! bum! ela caiu sobre uma pilha de gravetos e folhas secas, e a queda havia terminado.

Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment:

Alice não se machucou nem um pouco, e ela pulou e ficou de pé em um instante:

she looked up, but it was all dark overhead;

ela olhou para cima, mas estava tudo escuro lá em cima;

before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it.

à sua frente havia outra longa passagem, e o Coelho Branco ainda estava à vista, apressando-se por ela.
