CHAPTER 13 - Dr. Seward's Diary, part 11

I am always anxious about Jonathan, for I fear that some nervous fit may upset him again. So I turned to him quickly, and asked him what it was that disturbed him.

He was very pale, and his eyes seemed bulging out as, half in terror and half in amazement, he gazed at a tall, thin man, with a beaky nose and black moustache and pointed beard, who was also observing the pretty girl. He was looking at her so hard that he did not see either of us, and so I had a good view of him. His face was not a good face. It was hard, and cruel, and sensual, and big white teeth, that looked all the whiter because his lips were so red, were pointed like an animal's. Jonathan kept staring at him, till I was afraid he would notice. I feared he might take it ill, he looked so fierce and nasty.

I asked Jonathan why he was disturbed, and he answered, evidently thinking that I knew as much about it as he did, "Do you see who it is?" "No, dear," I said. "I don't know him, who is it? " His answer seemed to shock and thrill me, for it was said as if he did not know that it was me, Mina, to whom he was speaking. "It is the man himself!" The poor dear was evidently terrified at something, very greatly terrified. I do believe that if he had not had me to lean on and to support him he would have sunk down. He kept staring. A man came out of the shop with a small parcel, and gave it to the lady, who then drove off. The dark man kept his eyes fixed on her, and when the carriage moved up Piccadilly he followed in the same direction, and hailed a hansom. Jonathan kept looking after him, and said, as if to himself,

"I believe it is the Count, but he has grown young. My God, if this be so! Oh, my God! My God! If only I knew! If only I knew! " He was distressing himself so much that I feared to keep his mind on the subject by asking him any questions, so I remained silent. I drew away quietly, and he, holding my arm, came easily. We walked a little further, and then went in and sat for a while in the Green Park.

I am always anxious about Jonathan, for I fear that some nervous fit may upset him again. |||ansioso||||||||nervoso|attacco nervoso|||| Estou sempre preocupada com o Jonathan, pois receio que algum ataque de nervos o volte a perturbar. So I turned to him quickly, and asked him what it was that disturbed him. ||mi girai|||||||||||| Então, virei-me rapidamente para ele e perguntei-lhe o que é que o perturbava.

He was very pale, and his eyes seemed bulging out as, half in terror and half in amazement, he gazed at a tall, thin man, with a beaky nose and black moustache and pointed beard, who was also observing the pretty girl. |||||||||||||||||||starrte||||||||schnabelartig|||||||||||||| ||||||||sporgenti|||||||||||||||||||a becco|||||||||||||| Era molto pallido e i suoi occhi sembravano sporgere, mentre, tra terrore e meraviglia, guardava un uomo alto e magro, con un naso adunco e un baffo nero e una barba appuntita, che stava anche osservando la bella ragazza. Estava muito pálido e os seus olhos pareciam esbugalhar-se enquanto, meio aterrorizado e meio espantado, olhava para um homem alto e magro, de nariz bicudo, bigode preto e barba pontiaguda, que também observava a rapariga bonita. He was looking at her so hard that he did not see either of us, and so I had a good view of him. La stava guardando così intensamente che non vide nessuno di noi, e così ebbi una buona visione di lui. Ele estava a olhar para ela com tanta intensidade que não viu nenhum de nós e, por isso, eu tinha uma boa visão dele. His face was not a good face. Il suo volto non era un bel volto. A sua cara não era uma boa cara. It was hard, and cruel, and sensual, and big white teeth, that looked all the whiter because his lips were so red, were pointed like an animal's. ||||||sinnlich|||||||||||||||||||| Era duro, cruel e sensual, e os grandes dentes brancos, que pareciam ainda mais brancos porque os seus lábios eram tão vermelhos, eram pontiagudos como os de um animal. Jonathan kept staring at him, till I was afraid he would notice. O Jonathan ficou a olhar para ele, até eu ter medo que ele reparasse. I feared he might take it ill, he looked so fierce and nasty. ||||||||||||gemein Receei que ele não gostasse, tinha um ar tão feroz e desagradável.

I asked Jonathan why he was disturbed, and he answered, evidently thinking that I knew as much about it as he did, "Do you see who it is?" Perguntei a Jonathan porque é que estava perturbado, e ele respondeu, pensando evidentemente que eu sabia tanto sobre o assunto como ele: "Vês quem é?" "No, dear," I said. "Não, querida", disse eu. "I don't know him, who is it? "Não o conheço, quem é? " His answer seemed to shock and thrill me, for it was said as if he did not know that it was me, Mina, to whom he was speaking. ||sembrava||sconvolgere||||||||||||||||||||||| " A sua resposta pareceu chocar-me e emocionar-me, pois foi dita como se ele não soubesse que era comigo, Mina, que estava a falar. "It is the man himself!" "É o próprio homem!" The poor dear was evidently terrified at something, very greatly terrified. A pobre coitada estava evidentemente aterrorizada com alguma coisa, muito aterrorizada. I do believe that if he had not had me to lean on and to support him he would have sunk down. Penso que, se não me tivesse tido como apoio e suporte, ter-se-ia afundado. He kept staring. Ele ficou a olhar. A man came out of the shop with a small parcel, and gave it to the lady, who then drove off. |||||||||||||||||||partì in auto| Un uomo è uscito dal negozio con un piccolo pacchetto e lo ha dato alla signora, che poi è partita. Um homem saiu da loja com um pequeno embrulho e entregou-o à senhora, que se pôs a andar. The dark man kept his eyes fixed on her, and when the carriage moved up Piccadilly he followed in the same direction, and hailed a hansom. |||||||||||||||||||||||||Hansom-Kutsche |||||||||||||||||||||||||horse-drawn cab L'uomo scuro teneva gli occhi fissi su di lei, e quando la carrozza si è mossa su Piccadilly, ha seguito nella stessa direzione e ha fermato un taxi. O homem moreno manteve os olhos fixos nela e, quando a carruagem subiu Piccadilly, seguiu na mesma direção e chamou uma carruagem. Jonathan kept looking after him, and said, as if to himself, ||sehen|||||||| Jonathan continuava a guardarlo e disse, come se parlasse a se stesso, Jónatas continuou a olhar para ele e disse, como que para si próprio,

"I believe it is the Count, but he has grown young. |||||||lui||diventato| "Credo sia il Conte, ma è ringiovanito. "Creio que é o Conde, mas ele é muito novo. My God, if this be so! Mio Dio, se è così! Meu Deus, se é assim! Oh, my God! Oh, mio Dio! My God! If only I knew! Se ao menos eu soubesse! If only I knew! " He was distressing himself so much that I feared to keep his mind on the subject by asking him any questions, so I remained silent. ||belastend|||||||||||||||||||||| " Ele estava tão angustiado que tive medo de o manter concentrado no assunto fazendo-lhe perguntas, por isso fiquei em silêncio. I drew away quietly, and he, holding my arm, came easily. ||||||||||con facilità Afastei-me calmamente e ele, segurando o meu braço, veio-se facilmente. We walked a little further, and then went in and sat for a while in the Green Park. Andámos mais um pouco e depois entrámos e sentámo-nos um pouco no Parque Verde.
