The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 6

English → Pt Full Text Level 6/10

He said that after the wallpaper was changed it would be the heavy bedstead, and then the barred windows, and then that gate at the head of the stairs, and so on.

Ele disse que depois que o papel de parede fosse trocado seria a pesada armação da cama, e depois as janelas gradeadas, e depois aquele portão no topo das escadas, e assim por diante.

"You know the place is doing you good," he said, "and really, dear, I don't care to renovate the house just for a three months' rental."

"Você sabe que o lugar está lhe fazendo bem", ele disse, "e realmente, querida, não me interessa reformar a casa apenas por um aluguel de três meses."

"Then do let us go downstairs," I said, "there are such pretty rooms there."

"Então nos deixe ir para baixo", eu disse, "há quartos tão bonitos lá."

Then he took me in his arms and called me a blessed little goose, and said he would go down cellar if I wished, and have it whitewashed into the bargain.

Então ele me tomou nos braços e me chamou de um abençoado ganso pequenino, e disse que desceria até o porão se eu quisesse, e ainda o mandaria caiar por cima.

But he is right enough about the beds and windows and things.

Mas ele está certo o suficiente sobre as camas e as janelas e essas coisas.

It is as airy and comfortable a room as any one need wish, and, of course, I would not be so silly as to make him uncomfortable just for a whim.

É um quarto tão arejado e confortável quanto qualquer um poderia desejar, e, claro, eu não seria tão tola a ponto de deixá-lo desconfortável apenas por um capricho.

I'm really getting quite fond of the big room, all but that horrid paper.

Estou realmente ficando bastante encantada com o quarto grande, exceto por aquele papel horrível.

Out of one window I can see the garden, those mysterious deep-shaded arbors, the riotous old-fashioned flowers, and bushes and gnarly trees.

Por uma janela posso ver o jardim, aqueles arbustos misteriosos de sombra profunda, as flores antiquadas e exuberantes, e os arbustos e as árvores retorcidas.

Out of another I get a lovely view of the bay and a little private wharf belonging to the estate.

Por outra tenho uma vista encantadora da baía e de um pequeno cais privativo pertencente à propriedade.

There is a beautiful shaded lane that runs down there from the house.

Há uma bela alameda sombreada que desce dali da casa.

I always fancy I see people walking in these numerous paths and arbors, but John has cautioned me not to give way to fancy in the least.

Sempre imagino que vejo pessoas caminhando nessas numerosas veredas e caramanchões, mas John me advertiu para não ceder à imaginação nem um pouco.
