English → Pt CHAPTER I. Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Surprised Level 6/10

Rachel prided herself on always speaking her mind; she proceeded to speak it now, having adjusted her mental attitude to this amazing piece of news.

Rachel se orgulhava de sempre dizer o que pensava; ela passou a fazê-lo agora, tendo ajustado sua atitude mental a essa incrível notícia.

"Well, Marilla, I'll just tell you plain that I think you're doing a mighty foolish thing--a risky thing, that's what.

"Bem, Marilla, vou lhe dizer claramente que acho que você está fazendo uma coisa muito tola -- uma coisa arriscada, é isso.

You don't know what you're getting.

Você não sabe o que está recebendo.

You're bringing a strange child into your house and home and you don't know a single thing about him nor what his disposition is like nor what sort of parents he had nor how he's likely to turn out.

Você está trazendo uma criança estranha para a sua casa e não sabe absolutamente nada sobre ele, nem como é o seu temperamento, nem que tipo de pais ele teve, nem como ele provavelmente vai se sair.

Why, it was only last week I read in the paper how a man and his wife up west of the Island took a boy out of an orphan asylum and he set fire to the house at night--set it _on purpose_, Marilla--and nearly burnt them to a crisp in their beds.

Ora, foi só na semana passada que li no jornal como um homem e sua esposa no oeste da Ilha pegaram um menino de um orfanato e ele ateou fogo à casa à noite -- fez isso _de propósito_, Marilla -- e quase os queimou completamente em suas camas.

And I know another case where an adopted boy used to suck the eggs--they couldn't break him of it.

E eu conheço outro caso em que um menino adotado costumava chupar os ovos -- eles não conseguiam fazê-lo parar.

If you had asked my advice in the matter--which you didn't do, Marilla--I'd have said for mercy's sake not to think of such a thing, that's what."

Se você tivesse pedido meu conselho no assunto -- o que não fez, Marilla -- eu teria dito que, pelo amor de Deus, não pensasse em tal coisa, é isso."

This Job's comforting seemed neither to offend nor to alarm Marilla.

Esse consolo à maneira de Jó não pareceu ofender nem alarmar Marilla.

She knitted steadily on.

Ela continuou tricotando tranquilamente.

"I don't deny there's something in what you say, Rachel.

"Não nego que há algo no que você diz, Rachel.

I've had some qualms myself.

Eu mesma tive algumas dúvidas.

But Matthew was terrible set on it.

Mas Matthew estava terrivelmente decidido quanto a isso.

I could see that, so I gave in.

Eu pude ver isso, então cedi.
