Alice's Adventures in Wonderland — Page 2

English → Pt Preface Level 5/10

It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever: she sat down and began to cry again.

Era tudo o que ela conseguia fazer, deitando-se de lado, para olhar através para o jardim com um olho; mas passar pelo buraco era mais impossível do que nunca: ela sentou-se e começou a chorar de novo.

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself," said Alice, "a great girl like you," (she might well say this), "to go on crying in this way! Stop this moment, I tell you!" But she went on all the same, shedding gallons of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep and reaching half down the hall.

"Você devia ter vergonha de si mesma", disse Alice, "uma menina grande como você," (ela bem podia dizer isso), "continuar a chorar desta maneira! Pare agora mesmo, estou lhe dizendo!" Mas ela continuou do mesmo jeito, derramando rios de lágrimas, até que havia uma grande poça ao seu redor, com cerca de dez centímetros de profundidade e chegando até a metade do corredor.

After a time she heard a little pattering of feet in the distance, and she hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming.

Depois de algum tempo ela ouviu um leve barulho de passinhos ao longe, e ela apressadamente enxugou os olhos para ver o que estava vindo.

It was the White Rabbit returning, splendidly dressed, with a pair of white kid gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other: he came trotting along in a great hurry, muttering to himself as he came, "Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! Oh! won't she be savage if I've kept her waiting!"

Era o Coelho Branco que voltava, esplendidamente vestido, com um par de luvas brancas de pelica em uma mão e um grande leque na outra: ele veio trotando com grande pressa, resmungando consigo mesmo enquanto vinha, "Oh! a Duquesa, a Duquesa! Oh! ela vai ficar furiosa se eu a fiz esperar!"

Alice felt so desperate that she was ready to ask help of any one; so, when the Rabbit came near her, she began, in a low, timid voice, "If you please, sir—" The Rabbit started violently, dropped the white kid gloves and the fan, and skurried away into the darkness as hard as he could go.

Alice sentiu-se tão desesperada que estava pronta para pedir ajuda a qualquer pessoa; então, quando o Coelho se aproximou dela, ela começou, em voz baixa e tímida, "Se me faz o favor, senhor—" O Coelho assustou-se violentamente, deixou cair as luvas brancas de pelica e o leque, e correu para a escuridão o mais rápido que pôde.
