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.
" até mesmo o portão sobre o qual ele se apoiava não manifestou nenhum movimento de simpatia às palavras; e creio que essa circunstância me determinou a aceitar o convite: senti-me interessado em um homem que parecia mais exageradamente reservado do que eu mesmo.
When he saw my horse's breast fairly pushing the barrier, he did put out his hand to unchain it, and then sullenly preceded me up the causeway, calling, as we entered the court,—"Joseph, take Mr. Lockwood's horse; and bring up some wine."
Quando ele viu o peito do meu cavalo empurrando a barreira, ele estendeu a mão para desacorrentá-la, e então, de mau humor, precedeu-me pela calçada, chamando, ao entrarmos no pátio: — "José, leve o cavalo do Sr. Lockwood; e traga um pouco de vinho."
"Here we have the whole establishment of domestics, I suppose," was the reflection suggested by this compound order.
"Aqui temos todo o quadro de domésticos, suponho", foi a reflexão sugerida por essa ordem composta.
"No wonder the grass grows up between the flags, and cattle are the only hedge-cutters."
"Não é de admirar que a grama cresça entre as pedras, e que o gado seja o único cortador de sebes."
Joseph was an elderly, nay, an old man, very old, perhaps, though hale and sinewy.
José era um homem idoso, ou melhor, um velho, muito velho talvez, embora robusto e musculoso.
"The Lord help us!" he soliloquised in an undertone of peevish displeasure, while relieving me of my horse: looking, meantime, in my face so sourly that I charitably conjectured he must have need of divine aid to digest his dinner, and his pious ejaculation had no reference to my unexpected advent.
"Deus nos ajude!" ele soliloquiou em voz baixa de desprazer irritadiço, enquanto me aliviava do meu cavalo: olhando, entretanto, para o meu rosto de forma tão azeda que caritativamente conjecturei que ele devia precisar de auxílio divino para digerir o jantar, e sua piedosa exclamação não tinha referência à minha chegada inesperada.
