Peter Pan — Page 3

English → Pt Chapter I. Level 4/10

She wanted to risk it, come what might, but that was not his way; his way was with a pencil and a piece of paper, and if she confused him with suggestions he had to begin at the beginning again.

Ela queria arriscar, acontecesse o que acontecesse, mas esse não era o jeito dele; o jeito dele era com um lápis e um pedaço de papel, e se ela o confundisse com sugestões ele tinha que começar do começo de novo.

"Now don't interrupt," he would beg of her.

"Agora não interrompa", ele lhe implorava.

"I have one pound seventeen here, and two and six at the office; I can cut off my coffee at the office, say ten shillings, making two nine and six, with your eighteen and three makes three nine seven, with five naught naught in my cheque-book makes eight nine seven—who is that moving?—eight nine seven, dot and carry seven—don't speak, my own—and the pound you lent to that man who came to the door—quiet, child—dot and carry child—there, you've done it!—did I say nine nine seven? yes, I said nine nine seven; the question is, can we try it for a year on nine nine seven?"

"Tenho uma libra e dezessete aqui, e duas e seis no escritório; posso cortar meu café no escritório, digamos dez xelins, fazendo duas e nove e seis, com suas dezoito e três dá três e nove e sete, com cinco zero zero no meu talão de cheques dá oito e nove e sete — quem é que está se mexendo? — oito e nove e sete, vírgula e transporta sete — não fale, meu bem — e a libra que você emprestou àquele homem que veio à porta — silêncio, criança — vírgula e transporta criança — pronto, você fez isso! — eu disse nove e nove e sete? sim, eu disse nove e nove e sete; a questão é: podemos tentar por um ano com nove e nove e sete?"

"Of course we can, George," she cried.

"Claro que podemos, George", ela exclamou.

But she was prejudiced in Wendy's favour, and he was really the grander character of the two.

Mas ela era parcial em favor de Wendy, e ele era realmente o de caráter mais nobre dos dois.

"Remember mumps," he warned her almost threateningly, and off he went again.

"Lembre-se da caxumba", ele a advertiu de forma quase ameaçadora, e lá foi ele de novo.
