Harrigan — Page 4

English → Pt CHAPTER 2 Level 4/10

McTee," he said, "I came on your ship by chance an' saw you.

McTee," ele disse, "vim ao seu navio por acaso e o vi.

If you _can_ use an extra hand, let me stay.

Se o senhor _pode_ usar uma mão extra, deixe-me ficar.

I'm footfree an' I need to be movin' on."

Estou livre e preciso continuar seguindo em frente."

Even through the gloom he caught the glint of the Scotchman's eye.

Mesmo através da escuridão, ele captou o brilho do olhar do escocês.

"Get off the bridge!" thundered McTee.

"Saia da ponte de comando!" trovejou McTee.

"But I'm Harrigan, and--"

"Mas eu sou Harrigan, e--"

McTee turned to his first and second mates.

McTee virou-se para seu primeiro e segundo imediatos.

"Throw that man off the bridge!" he ordered.

"Joguem esse homem para fora da ponte de comando!" ele ordenou.

Harrigan didn't wait.

Harrigan não esperou.

He retreated down the steps to the deck and went to the rail.

Ele recuou descendo os degraus até o convés e foi até a amurada.

A wide gap of swarthy water now extended between the ship and the dock, but he placed his knee on the rail ready to dive.

Uma grande extensão de água escura se estendia agora entre o navio e o cais, mas ele apoiou o joelho na amurada, pronto para mergulhar.

Then he turned and stood with folded arms looking up to the bridge, for his mind was dark with many doubts.

Então ele se virou e ficou de braços cruzados olhando para a ponte de comando, pois sua mente estava sombria com muitas dúvidas.

He tapped a passing sailor on the shoulder.

Ele deu um toque no ombro de um marinheiro que passava.

"What sort of an old boy is the captain?"

"Que tipo de sujeito é o capitão?"

He made up his mind that according to the answer he would stay with the ship or swim to the shore, but the sailor merely stared stupidly at him for a moment and then grinned slowly.

Ele decidiu que, dependendo da resposta, ficaria no navio ou nadaria até a costa, mas o marinheiro apenas o encarou estupidamente por um momento e então sorriu lentamente.

There might be malice, there might be mere ridicule in that smile.

Poderia haver malícia, poderia haver mero escárnio naquele sorriso.

He passed on before another question could be asked.

Ele foi embora antes que outra pergunta pudesse ser feita.

"Huh!" grunted Harrigan.

"Hã!" grunhiu Harrigan.

"I stay!"

"Eu fico!"

He kept his eyes fixed on the bridge, remaining motionless at the rail for an hour while the glow of Honolulu grew dimmer and dimmer past the stern.

Ele manteve os olhos fixos na ponte de comando, permanecendo imóvel na amurada por uma hora enquanto o brilho de Honolulu ficava cada vez mais fraco além da popa.
