English to Portuguese: A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English It was the year of Our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. Spiritual revelations were conceded to England at that favoured period, as at this. Mrs. Southcott had recently attained her five-andtwentieth blessed birthday, of whom a prophetic private in the Life Guards had heralded the sublime appearance by announcing that arrangements were made for the swallowing up of London and Westminster. Even the Cock-lane ghost had been laid only a round dozen of years, after rapping out its messages, as the spirits of this very year last past (supernaturally deficient in originality) rapped out theirs. Mere messages in the earthly order of events had lately come to the English Crown and People, from a congress of British subjects in America: which, strange to relate, have proved more important to the human race than any communications yet received through any of the chickens of the Cock-lane brood.
France, less favoured on the whole as to matters spiritual than her sister of the shield and trident, rolled with exceeding smoothness down hill, making paper money and spending it. Under the guidance of her Christian pastors, she entertained herself, besides, with such humane achievements as sentencing a youth to have his hands cut off, his tongue torn out with pincers, and his body burned alive, because he had not kneeled down in the rain to do honour to a dirty procession of monks which passed within his view, at a distance of some fifty or sixty yards. It is likely enough that, rooted in the woods of France and Norway, there were growing trees, when that sufferer was put to death, already marked by the Woodman, Fate, to come down and be sawn into boards, to make a certain movable framework with a sack and a knife in it, terrible in history. It is likely enough that in the rough outhouses of some tillers of the heavy lands adjacente to Paris, there were sheltered from the weather that very day, rude carts, bespattered with rustic mire, snuffed about by pigs, and roosted in by poultry, which the Farmer, Death, had already set apart to be his tumbrils of the Revolution. But that Woodman and that Farmer, though they work unceasingly, work silently, and no one heard them as they went about with muffled tread: the rather, forasmuch as to entertain any suspicion that they were awake, was to be atheistical and traitorous.
Translation - Portuguese Era o ano de Nosso Senhor, 1775. Revelações espirituais foram concedidas à Inglaterra naquele período privilegiado, assim como ocorre hoje em dia. A Sra. Southcott recentemente havia alcançado seu abençoado vigésimo quinto aniversário, data em que um profético soldado da Guarda Real assumira figura sublime de arauto para proclamar os rearranjos realizados para dominar Londres e Westminster. Até o fantasma de Cock Lane fora exorcizado há apenas uma dúzia de anos após rispidamente vociferar suas mensagens, gesto ainda reproduzido nos dias atuais pelos espíritos (sobrenaturalmente desprovidos de originalidade). Recentemente, meras mensagens na ordem terrena de eventos haviam chegado à Coroa Britânica e ao povo por meio de um congresso de súditos britânicos na América que, por incrível que pareça, provaram-se mais importantes à raça humana do que qualquer outra forma de comunicação já recebida por qualquer galinha da ninhada de Cock Lane.
A França, menos favorecida em geral no que tange a assuntos espirituais do que sua irmã de escudo e tridente, descia morro abaixo com extrema suavidade, fabricando papel-moeda e gastando-o. Sob influência de seus pastores cristãos, ela se entreteve, inclusive, com ações humanitárias, ao sentenciar um jovem a ter suas mãos decepadas, a língua arrancada com pinças e o corpo a arder em chamas por não ter se ajoelhado em meio à chuva para reverenciar uma lamacenta procissão de monges que ocorrera a uma distância de 40 a 60 metros. É muito provável que, no momento em que aquele sofredor se deparou com a morte, árvores enraizadas nas florestas da França e da Noruega já tivessem sido marcadas pelo Lenhador, o Destino, para serem serradas e transformadas em tábuas, formando uma estrutura móvel com um saco e uma faca, algo terrível para a História. É muito provável que, naquele exato dia, anexos rústicos de alguns lavradores de terras adjacentes a Paris abrigassem do clima carroças rudimentares cobertas de lodo, reviradas por porcos e empoleiradas por galináceos, que o Fazendeiro, a Morte, já havia reservado para servir de tumbrel na Revolução. Mas o Lenhador e o Fazendeiro, embora trabalhassem incessantemente, faziam-no em silencio para que ninguém pudesse ouvir enquanto caminhavam com passos abafados: do contrário, se levantassem qualquer suspeita de que estavam acordados, seriam julgados como ateus e traidores.
