Ulysses — Page 2
he said sternly.
ele disse severamente.
He added in a preacher's tone:
Ele acrescentou em tom de pregador:
—For this, O dearly beloved, is the genuine Christine: body and soul and blood and ouns.
—Pois esta, ó caríssimos, é a genuína Cristina: corpo e alma e sangue e entranhas.
Slow music, please.
Música lenta, por favor.
Shut your eyes, gents.
Fechem os olhos, cavalheiros.
One moment.
Um momento.
A little trouble about those white corpuscles.
Um pequeno problema com aqueles glóbulos brancos.
Silence, all.
Silêncio, todos.
He peered sideways up and gave a long slow whistle of call, then paused awhile in rapt attention, his even white teeth glistening here and there with gold points.
Ele espreitou de soslaio para cima e soltou um longo e lento assobio de chamado, depois ficou parado por um momento em atenção absorta, seus dentes brancos e uniformes brilhando aqui e ali com pontos de ouro.
Chrysostomos.
Crisóstomo.
Two strong shrill whistles answered through the calm.
Dois assobios fortes e agudos responderam através da calmaria.
—Thanks, old chap, he cried briskly.
—Obrigado, velho amigo, ele gritou animadamente.

Isso servirá perfeitamente.
Switch off the current, will you?
Desligue a corrente, quer fazer isso?
He skipped off the gunrest and looked gravely at his watcher, gathering about his legs the loose folds of his gown.
Ele saltou do parapeito e olhou gravemente para o seu observador, reunindo em torno de suas pernas as dobras soltas de seu roupão.
The plump shadowed face and sullen oval jowl recalled a prelate, patron of arts in the middle ages.
O rosto rechonchudo e ensombrado e o maxilar oval e carrancudo evocavam um prelado, patrono das artes na Idade Média.
A pleasant smile broke quietly over his lips.
Um sorriso agradável aflorou suavemente em seus lábios.
—The mockery of it! he said gaily.
—Que zombaria! ele disse alegremente.
Your absurd name, an ancient Greek!
O seu nome absurdo, um grego antigo!
He pointed his finger in friendly jest and went over to the parapet, laughing to himself.
Ele apontou o dedo em brincadeira amigável e foi até o parapeito, rindo para si mesmo.
Stephen Dedalus stepped up, followed him wearily halfway and sat down on the edge of the gunrest, watching him still as he propped his mirror on the parapet, dipped the brush in the bowl and lathered cheeks and neck.
Stephen Dedalus aproximou-se, seguiu-o cansadamente até a metade do caminho e sentou-se na beira do parapeito, observando-o ainda enquanto ele apoiava o espelho no parapeito, mergulhava o pincel na tigela e ensaboava as bochechas e o pescoço.
Buck Mulligan's gay voice went on.
A voz alegre de Buck Mulligan continuou.
—My name is absurd too: Malachi Mulligan, two dactyls.
—Meu nome também é absurdo: Malachi Mulligan, dois dáctilos.
But it has a Hellenic ring, hasn't it?

We must go to Athens.
Devemos ir a Atenas.
