English → Pt PART ONE--The Old Buccaneer Level 6/10

He never wrote or received a letter, and he never spoke with any but the neighbours, and with these, for the most part, only when drunk on rum.

Ele nunca escreveu nem recebeu uma carta, e nunca falou com ninguém além dos vizinhos, e com estes, na maior parte das vezes, somente quando embriagado de rum.

The great sea-chest none of us had ever seen open.

O grande baú de marinheiro nenhum de nós jamais havia visto aberto.

He was only once crossed, and that was towards the end, when my poor father was far gone in a decline that took him off.

Ele só foi contrariado uma vez, e isso foi perto do fim, quando meu pobre pai estava muito adoentado com a enfermidade que o levou.

Dr. Livesey came late one afternoon to see the patient, took a bit of dinner from my mother, and went into the parlour to smoke a pipe until his horse should come down from the hamlet, for we had no stabling at the old Benbow.

O Dr. Livesey chegou numa tarde já avançada para ver o doente, aceitou um pouco de jantar da minha mãe e entrou na sala de visitas para fumar um cachimbo até que seu cavalo viesse do lugarejo, pois não tínhamos estrebaria no velho Benbow.

I followed him in, and I remember observing the contrast the neat, bright doctor, with his powder as white as snow and his bright, black eyes and pleasant manners, made with the coltish country folk, and above all, with that filthy, heavy, bleared scarecrow of a pirate of ours, sitting, far gone in rum, with his arms on the table.

Entrei atrás dele, e lembro-me de observar o contraste que o médico asseado e vivo, com seu pó de cabelo tão branco quanto a neve, seus olhos negros e brilhantes e seus modos agradáveis, formava com a gente rústica do campo, e sobretudo com aquele espantalho sujo, pesado e de olhos turvos que era o nosso pirata, sentado, completamente embriagado de rum, com os braços sobre a mesa.

Suddenly he--the captain, that is--began to pipe up his eternal song:

De repente ele — o capitão, isto é — começou a entoar sua eterna canção:

"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest-- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

"Quinze homens no baú do morto — Yo-ho-ho, e uma garrafa de rum! A bebida e o diabo acabaram com o resto — Yo-ho-ho, e uma garrafa de rum!"

At first I had supposed "the dead man's chest" to be that identical big box of his upstairs in the front room, and the thought had been mingled in my nightmares with that of the one-legged seafaring man.

A princípio eu havia suposto que "o baú do morto" fosse aquela mesma grande caixa dele lá em cima no quarto da frente, e esse pensamento havia se misturado em meus pesadelos com o do homem do mar de uma só perna.
