Wuthering Heights — Page 2

English → Pt CHAPTER II Level 8/10

Vinegar-faced Joseph projected his head from a round window of the barn.

Joseph, de cara amarrada, projetou a cabeça por uma janela redonda do celeiro.

"What are ye for?" he shouted. "T' maister's down i' t' fowld. Go round by th' end o' t' laith, if ye went to spake to him."

"O que deseja?" ele gritou. "O patrão está lá embaixo no curral. Dê a volta pelo fim do celeiro, se quiser falar com ele."

"Is there nobody inside to open the door?" I hallooed, responsively.

"Não há ninguém lá dentro para abrir a porta?" respondi aos gritos.

"There's nobbut t' missis; and shoo'll not oppen 't an ye mak' yer flaysome dins till neeght."

"Só tem a patroa; e ela não vai abrir mesmo que você faça esse barulho assustador até a noite."

"Why? Cannot you tell her whom I am, eh, Joseph?"

"Por quê? O senhor não pode dizer a ela quem sou eu, hem, Joseph?"

"Nor-ne me! I'll hae no hend wi't," muttered the head, vanishing.

"Isso não é comigo! Não me envolvo nisso," murmurou a cabeça, desaparecendo.

The snow began to drive thickly.

A neve começou a cair intensamente.

I seized the handle to essay another trial; when a young man without coat, and shouldering a pitchfork, appeared in the yard behind.

Agarrei a maçaneta para fazer mais uma tentativa; quando um jovem sem casaco, carregando um forcado no ombro, apareceu no pátio atrás.

He hailed me to follow him, and, after marching through a wash-house, and a paved area containing a coal-shed, pump, and pigeon-cot, we at length arrived in the huge, warm, cheerful apartment where I was formerly received.

Ele me chamou para segui-lo e, após passarmos por uma lavanderia e uma área pavimentada contendo um depósito de carvão, uma bomba d'água e um pombal, chegamos finalmente ao enorme, quente e alegre aposento onde eu fora recebido anteriormente.

It glowed delightfully in the radiance of an immense fire, compounded of coal, peat, and wood; and near the table, laid for a plentiful evening meal, I was pleased to observe the "missis," an individual whose existence I had never previously suspected.

O aposento resplandecia deliciosamente com o brilho de um imenso fogo, composto de carvão, turfa e lenha; e perto da mesa, posta para uma farta refeição noturna, tive o prazer de observar a "patroa", uma pessoa cuja existência eu jamais suspeitara anteriormente.

I bowed and waited, thinking she would bid me take a seat.

Fiz uma reverência e esperei, pensando que ela me convidaria a sentar.

She looked at me, leaning back in her chair, and remained motionless and mute.

Ela me olhou, recostada em sua cadeira, e permaneceu imóvel e muda.

"Rough weather!" I remarked. "I'm afraid, Mrs.

"Tempo horrível!" observei. "Receio, senhora.
