Ulysses — Page 14

English → Pt 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.

Dois feixes de luz suave do dia caíram sobre o chão de lajes pelas altas ameias: e no encontro dos seus raios uma nuvem de fumaça de carvão e vapores de gordura frita flutuava, girando.

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

—Vamos sufocar, disse Buck Mulligan. Haines, abra essa porta, faz favor?

Stephen laid the shavingbowl on the locker.

Stephen pousou a tigela de barbear no armário.

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

Uma figura alta levantou-se da rede onde estava sentada, foi até a entrada e abriu as portas internas.

—Have you the key? a voice asked.

—Você tem a chave? perguntou uma voz.

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

—Dedalus a tem, disse Buck Mulligan. Raios me partam, estou sufocando!

He howled, without looking up from the fire:

Ele berrou, sem levantar os olhos do fogo:

—Kinch!

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

—Está na fechadura, disse Stephen, avançando.

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

A chave girou asperamente duas vezes e, quando a pesada porta foi entreaberta, uma bem-vinda luz e um ar fresco entraram.

Haines stood at the doorway, looking out.

Haines ficou parado na entrada, olhando para fora.

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

Stephen arrastou sua mala virada para a mesa e sentou-se para esperar.

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

Buck Mulligan jogou a fritura no prato ao seu lado.

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

Depois levou o prato e um grande bule até a mesa, pousou-os com um baque e suspirou 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.

—Estou derretendo, disse ele, como observou a vela quando... Mas, silêncio! Nem mais uma palavra sobre esse assunto! Kinch, acorda! Pão, manteiga, mel. Haines, entre. A comida está pronta. Abençoa-nos, ó Senhor, e estas tuas dádivas. Onde está o açúcar? Ó, droga, não há leite.

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

Stephen foi buscar o pão e o pote de mel e a manteigueira no armário.

Buck Mulligan sat down in a sudden pet.

Buck Mulligan sentou-se num repentino acesso de mau humor.
