Pride and Prejudice — Page 4
Rushworth, a_ coup de théâtre; _it connects itself in the strictest way with the course of the story earlier, and brings about the denouement with complete propriety.
Rushworth, um_ coup de théâtre; _ele se conecta da maneira mais estrita com o curso da história anterior, e provoca o desfecho com completa propriedade.
All the minor passages--the loves of Jane and Bingley, the advent of Mr. Collins, the visit to Hunsford, the Derbyshire tour--fit in after the same unostentatious, but masterly fashion.
Todas as passagens menores -- os amores de Jane e Bingley, o advento do Sr. Collins, a visita a Hunsford, o passeio por Derbyshire -- encaixam-se da mesma maneira discreta, mas magistral.
There is no attempt at the hide-and-seek, in-and-out business, which in the transactions between Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax contributes no doubt a good deal to the intrigue of_ Emma, _but contributes it in a fashion which I do not think the best feature of that otherwise admirable book.
Não há nenhuma tentativa do jogo de esconde-esconde, do entra-e-sai, que nas transações entre Frank Churchill e Jane Fairfax contribui sem dúvida bastante para a intriga de_ Emma, _mas contribui de uma maneira que não considero a melhor característica desse livro de outro modo admirável.
Although Miss Austen always liked something of the misunderstanding kind, which afforded her opportunities for the display of the peculiar and incomparable talent to be noticed presently, she has been satisfied here with the perfectly natural occasions provided by the false account of Darcy's conduct given by Wickham, and by the awkwardness (arising with equal naturalness) from the gradual transformation of Elizabeth's own feelings from positive aversion to actual love.
Embora a srta. Austen sempre tivesse gostado de algo do tipo mal-entendido, que lhe proporcionava oportunidades para a exibição do talento peculiar e incomparável a ser observado em breve, ela se contentou aqui com as ocasiões perfeitamente naturais proporcionadas pelo relato falso da conduta de Darcy feito por Wickham, e pelo constrangimento (surgindo com igual naturalidade) da transformação gradual dos próprios sentimentos de Elizabeth, de aversão positiva para amor verdadeiro.
I do not know whether the all-grasping hand of the playwright has ever been laid upon_ Pride and Prejudice; _and I dare say that, if it were, the situations would prove not startling or garish enough for the footlights, the character-scheme too subtle and delicate for pit and gallery.
Não sei se a mão tudo-abarcante do dramaturgo já foi alguma vez posta sobre_ Orgulho e Preconceito; _e ouso dizer que, se fosse, as situações revelar-se-iam não suficientemente surpreendentes ou berrantes para as ribas do palco, o esquema de personagens demasiado sutil e delicado para a plateia e a galeria.
