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

But by this time we had all long ceased to pay any particular notice to the song; it was new, that night, to nobody but Dr. Livesey, and on him I observed it did not produce an agreeable effect, for he looked up for a moment quite angrily before he went on with his talk to old Taylor, the gardener, on a new cure for the rheumatics.

Mas a essa altura já fazia muito tempo que todos nós havíamos deixado de prestar qualquer atenção especial à canção; ela era nova, naquela noite, apenas para o Dr. Livesey, e nele observei que não produziu um efeito agradável, pois ele ergueu os olhos por um momento com bastante irritação antes de retomar sua conversa com o velho Taylor, o jardineiro, sobre um novo remédio para o reumatismo.

In the meantime, the captain gradually brightened up at his own music, and at last flapped his hand upon the table before him in a way we all knew to mean silence.

Entretanto, o capitão foi aos poucos se animando com sua própria música, e por fim bateu a mão sobre a mesa à sua frente de um jeito que todos nós sabíamos significar silêncio.

The voices stopped at once, all but Dr. Livesey's; he went on as before speaking clear and kind and drawing briskly at his pipe between every word or two.

As vozes pararam imediatamente, todas exceto a do Dr. Livesey; ele continuou como antes, falando de modo claro e gentil e tragando vigorosamente seu cachimbo a cada uma ou duas palavras.

The captain glared at him for a while, flapped his hand again, glared still harder, and at last broke out with a villainous, low oath, "Silence, there, between decks!"

O capitão fitou-o com um olhar furioso por um momento, bateu a mão novamente, olhou ainda mais furioso, e por fim irrompeu com um palavrão baixo e infame: "Silêncio, aí, entre os conveses!"

"Were you addressing me, sir?" says the doctor; and when the ruffian had told him, with another oath, that this was so, "I have only one thing to say to you, sir," replies the doctor, "that if you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel!"

"O senhor estava se dirigindo a mim?" diz o doutor; e quando o rufião lhe disse, com outro palavrão, que sim, "Tenho apenas uma coisa a lhe dizer, senhor," responde o doutor, "que se o senhor continuar bebendo rum, o mundo em breve se verá livre de um patife muito imundo!"

The old fellow's fury was awful.

A fúria do velho foi terrível.

He sprang to his feet, drew and opened a sailor's clasp-knife, and balancing it open on the palm of his hand, threatened to pin the doctor to the wall.

Ele saltou de seus pés, sacou e abriu um canivete de marinheiro, e equilibrando-o aberto na palma da mão, ameaçou pregar o doutor na parede.
