Ulysses — Page 9
He looked in Stephen's face as he spoke.
Ele olhou para o rosto de Stephen enquanto falava.
A light wind passed his brow, fanning softly his fair uncombed hair and stirring silver points of anxiety in his eyes.
Uma brisa leve passou por sua testa, agitando suavemente seu cabelo louro despenteado e despertando pontos prateados de ansiedade em seus olhos.
Stephen, depressed by his own voice, said:
Stephen, abatido pela própria voz, disse:
—Do you remember the first day I went to your house after my mother's death?
—Você se lembra do primeiro dia em que fui à sua casa depois da morte da minha mãe?
Buck Mulligan frowned quickly and said:
Buck Mulligan franziu o cenho rapidamente e disse:
—What? Where? I can't remember anything.
—O quê? Onde? Não me lembro de nada.
I remember only ideas and sensations.
Lembro-me apenas de ideias e sensações.
Why? What happened in the name of God?
Por quê? O que aconteceu, pelo amor de Deus?
—You were making tea, Stephen said, and went across the landing to get more hot water.
—Você estava fazendo chá, disse Stephen, e foi até o patamar buscar mais água quente.
Your mother and some visitor came out of the drawingroom.
Sua mãe e algum visitante saíram da sala de estar.
She asked you who was in your room.
Ela lhe perguntou quem estava no seu quarto.
—Yes? Buck Mulligan said. What did I say? I forget.
—Sim? disse Buck Mulligan. O que eu disse? Esqueci.
—You said, Stephen answered, _O, it's only Dedalus whose mother is beastly dead._
—Você disse, respondeu Stephen, _Oh, é só o Dedalus cuja mãe está podreíssima de morta._
A flush which made him seem younger and more engaging rose to Buck Mulligan's cheek.
Um rubor que o fazia parecer mais jovem e mais cativante subiu à face de Buck Mulligan.
—Did I say that? he asked. Well? What harm is that?
—Eu disse isso? ele perguntou. E daí? Que mal há nisso?
He shook his constraint from him nervously.
Ele afastou nervosamente o seu constrangimento.
—And what is death, he asked, your mother's or yours or my own?
—E o que é a morte, ele perguntou, a da sua mãe, a sua ou a minha?
You saw only your mother die.
Você só viu sua mãe morrer.
I see them pop off every day in the Mater and Richmond and cut up into tripes in the dissectingroom.
Eu os vejo bater as botas todo dia no Mater e no Richmond e ser cortados em pedaços na sala de dissecação.
It's a beastly thing and nothing else.
É uma coisa horrível e nada mais.
It simply doesn't matter.
Simplesmente não tem importância.
You wouldn't kneel down to pray for your mother on her deathbed when she asked you.
Você não quis ajoelhar para rezar pela sua mãe no leito de morte quando ela lhe pediu.
Why? Because you have the cursed jesuit strain in you, only it's injected the wrong way.
Por quê? Porque você tem a maldita veia jesuíta em você, só que injetada ao contrário.
