Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World — Page 2
Bates, to be surgeon to the Swallow, Captain Abraham Pannel, commander; with whom I continued three years and a half, making a voyage or two into the Levant, and some other parts.
Bates, para ser cirurgião do Swallow, comandado pelo Capitão Abraham Pannel; com quem continuei por três anos e meio, fazendo uma ou duas viagens ao Levante, e a algumas outras partes.
When I came back I resolved to settle in London; to which Mr. Bates, my master, encouraged me, and by him I was recommended to several patients.
Quando voltei, resolvi estabelecer-me em Londres; para o que o Sr. Bates, meu mestre, me encorajou, e por ele fui recomendado a vários pacientes.
I took part of a small house in the Old Jewry; and being advised to alter my condition, I married Mrs. Mary Burton, second daughter to Mr. Edmund Burton, hosier, in Newgate-street, with whom I received four hundred pounds for a portion.
Aluguei parte de uma pequena casa na Old Jewry; e sendo aconselhado a mudar minha condição, casei-me com a Sra. Mary Burton, segunda filha do Sr. Edmund Burton, meeiro, na Newgate-street, com quem recebi quatrocentas libras de dote.
But my good master Bates dying in two years after, and I having few friends, my business began to fail; for my conscience would not suffer me to imitate the bad practice of too many among my brethren.
Mas meu bom mestre Bates tendo morrido dois anos depois, e tendo eu poucos amigos, meu negócio começou a declinar; pois minha consciência não me permitia imitar as más práticas de muitos dos meus colegas.
Having therefore consulted with my wife, and some of my acquaintance, I determined to go again to sea.
Tendo, portanto, consultado minha esposa e alguns dos meus conhecidos, decidi voltar ao mar.
I was surgeon successively in two ships, and made several voyages, for six years, to the East and West Indies, by which I got some addition to my fortune.
Fui cirurgião sucessivamente em dois navios, e fiz várias viagens, durante seis anos, às Índias Orientais e Ocidentais, com as quais obtive algum acréscimo à minha fortuna.
My hours of leisure I spent in reading the best authors, ancient and modern, being always provided with a good number of books; and when I was ashore, in observing the manners and dispositions of the people, as well as learning their language; wherein I had a great facility, by the strength of my memory.
Minhas horas de lazer eu passava lendo os melhores autores, antigos e modernos, estando sempre provido de um bom número de livros; e quando estava em terra, observando os costumes e as disposições dos povos, além de aprender a sua língua; no que tinha grande facilidade, graças à força da minha memória.
