The Yellow Wallpaper — Page 10

English → Pt Full Text Level 6/10

I had a friend who was in his hands once, and she says he is just like John and my brother, only more so!

Eu tive uma amiga que esteve nas mãos dele uma vez, e ela diz que ele é exatamente como John e meu irmão, só que mais ainda!

Besides, it is such an undertaking to go so far.

Além disso, é uma tarefa tão grande ir tão longe.

I don't feel as if it was worth while to turn my hand over for anything, and I'm getting dreadfully fretful and querulous.

Não sinto como se valesse a pena mover um dedo sequer, e estou ficando terrivelmente irritadiça e resmungona.

I cry at nothing, and cry most of the time.

Choro por nada, e choro a maior parte do tempo.

Of course I don't when John is here, or anybody else, but when I am alone.

Claro que não quando John está aqui, ou qualquer outra pessoa, mas quando estou sozinha.

And I am alone a good deal just now. John is kept in town very often by serious cases, and Jennie is good and lets me alone when I want her to.

E estou sozinha bastante agora. John é retido na cidade com muita frequência por casos graves, e Jennie é bondosa e me deixa em paz quando eu quero.

So I walk a little in the garden or down that lovely lane, sit on the porch under the roses, and lie down up here a good deal.

Então caminho um pouco pelo jardim ou por aquela linda alameda, sento na varanda sob as rosas, e me deito aqui em cima bastante.

I'm getting really fond of the room in spite of the wallpaper. Perhaps because of the wallpaper.

Estou ficando realmente encantada com o quarto apesar do papel de parede. Talvez por causa do papel de parede.

It dwells in my mind so!

Ele ocupa tanto a minha mente!

I lie here on this great immovable bed—it is nailed down, I believe—and follow that pattern about by the hour. It is as good as gymnastics, I assure you. I start, we'll say, at the bottom, down in the corner over there where it has not been touched, and I determine for the thousandth time that I will follow that pointless pattern to some sort of a conclusion.

Deito aqui nesta grande cama imóvel — ela está pregada no chão, eu acredito — e sigo aquele padrão durante horas. É tão bom quanto ginástica, eu lhe asseguro. Começo, digamos, pela parte de baixo, lá no canto ali onde não foi tocado, e determino pela milésima vez que seguirei aquele padrão sem sentido até algum tipo de conclusão.
