Wuthering Heights — Page 2
" even the gate over which he leant manifested no sympathising movement to the words; and I think that circumstance determined me to accept the invitation: I felt interested in a man who seemed more exaggeratedly reserved than myself.
Selbst das Tor, auf das er sich stützte, zeigte keine mitfühlende Regung auf seine Worte; und ich glaube, dass mich dieser Umstand bewog, die Einladung anzunehmen: Ich fühlte mich zu einem Mann hingezogen, der noch übertriebener verschlossen schien als ich selbst.
Joseph was an elderly, nay, an old man, very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy.
Joseph war ein älterer, ja sogar ein alter Mann, vielleicht sehr alt, obwohl er rüstig und sehnig war.
