The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes — Page 4

English → Pt Full Text Level 6/10

With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner.

Sem praticamente dizer uma palavra, mas com um olhar amável, ele me acenou para uma poltrona, atirou sua cigarreira na minha direção e indicou um estojo de bebidas e um gasogênio no canto.

Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

Depois ficou de pé diante da lareira e me examinou com seu singular estilo introspectivo.

"Wedlock suits you," he remarked.

"O casamento lhe cai bem", ele comentou.

"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you."

"Acho que o senhor engordou sete quilos e meio desde que o vi, Watson."

"Seven!" I answered.

"Sete!" eu respondi.

"Indeed, I should have thought a little more.

"De fato, eu deveria ter pensado um pouco mais.

Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson.

Apenas um pouquinho mais, imagino, Watson.

And in practice again, I observe.

E de volta ao consultório, observo.

You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness."

O senhor não me disse que pretendia retomar o trabalho."

"Then, how do you know?"

"Então, como o senhor sabe?"

"I see it, I deduce it.

"Eu vejo, eu deduzo.

How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?"

Como eu sei que o senhor ficou muito molhado recentemente e que tem uma empregada extremamente desajeitada e descuidada?"

"My dear Holmes," said I, "this is too much.

"Meu caro Holmes", disse eu, "isso é demais.

You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago.

O senhor certamente teria sido queimado, se tivesse vivido alguns séculos atrás.

It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it.

É verdade que fiz uma caminhada no campo na quinta-feira e voltei para casa em um estado deplorável, mas como troquei de roupa não consigo imaginar como o senhor deduz isso.

As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice, but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out."

Quanto a Mary Jane, ela é incorrigível, e minha esposa já lhe deu aviso prévio, mas aí, novamente, não consigo entender como o senhor chegou a essa conclusão."

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

Ele riu baixinho para si mesmo e esfregou suas longas e nervosas mãos uma na outra.
