Ulysses — Page 14

English → Spanish Full Text Level 9/10

Two shafts of soft daylight fell across the flagged floor from the high barbacans: and at the meeting of their rays a cloud of coalsmoke and fumes of fried grease floated, turning.

Dos haces de suave luz diurna caían sobre el suelo empedrado desde las altas barbacanas: y en el encuentro de sus rayos flotaba, girando, una nube de humo de carbón y vapores de grasa frita.

—We'll be choked, Buck Mulligan said. Haines, open that door, will you?

—Nos vamos a ahogar, dijo Buck Mulligan. Haines, abre esa puerta, ¿quieres?

Stephen laid the shavingbowl on the locker.

Stephen depositó el cuenco de afeitar sobre la taquilla.

A tall figure rose from the hammock where it had been sitting, went to the doorway and pulled open the inner doors.

Una figura alta se levantó de la hamaca donde había estado sentada, fue hasta la entrada y abrió de un tirón las puertas interiores.

—Have you the key? a voice asked.

—¿Tienes la llave? preguntó una voz.

—Dedalus has it, Buck Mulligan said. Janey Mack, I'm choked!

—La tiene Dedalus, dijo Buck Mulligan. ¡Dios mío, me estoy ahogando!

He howled, without looking up from the fire:

Aulló, sin apartar la vista del fuego:

—Kinch!

—¡Kinch!

—It's in the lock, Stephen said, coming forward.

—Está en la cerradura, dijo Stephen, avanzando.

The key scraped round harshly twice and, when the heavy door had been set ajar, welcome light and bright air entered.

La llave giró raspando ásperamente dos veces y, cuando la pesada puerta quedó entreabierta, entraron la bienvenida luz y el aire fresco.

Haines stood at the doorway, looking out.

Haines se quedó en la entrada, mirando hacia afuera.

Stephen haled his upended valise to the table and sat down to wait.

Stephen arrastró su maleta volcada hasta la mesa y se sentó a esperar.

Buck Mulligan tossed the fry on to the dish beside him.

Buck Mulligan echó la fritura en el plato que tenía a su lado.

Then he carried the dish and a large teapot over to the table, set them down heavily and sighed with relief.

Luego llevó el plato y una tetera grande hasta la mesa, los depositó con un golpe y suspiró aliviado.

—I'm melting, he said, as the candle remarked when... But, hush! Not a word more on that subject! Kinch, wake up! Bread, butter, honey. Haines, come in. The grub is ready. Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts. Where's the sugar? O, jay, there's no milk.

—Me derrito, dijo, como observó la vela cuando... ¡Pero, silencio! ¡Ni una palabra más sobre ese asunto! ¡Kinch, despierta! Pan, mantequilla, miel. Haines, entra. La comida está lista. Bendícenos, Señor, y estos tus dones. ¿Dónde está el azúcar? Ay, no hay leche.

Stephen fetched the loaf and the pot of honey and the buttercooler from the locker.

Stephen trajo el pan y el tarro de miel y la mantequera de la taquilla.

Buck Mulligan sat down in a sudden pet.

Buck Mulligan se sentó de repente con un berrinche.
