to give
Si podíeu venir en una corredora per assistir al vostre funeral, hauríeu pogut deixar-vos caure aquí i dar-me una entresenya o altra que no éreu mort, sinó que us havíeu escapat només.
If you could come over on a log to go to your funeral, you could have come over and give me a hint some way that you warn't dead, but only run off."
-El Senyor va dar-lo i el Senyor l'ha pres. Beneit sigui el nom del Senyor!
"The Lord giveth and the Lord hath taken away--Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Tom, mai no m'hauria vist en aquest tribull si no hagués estat per aquells diners: ja podeu pendre la meva part amb la vostra, i dar-me de tant en tant deu centims (no pas moltes vegades, perque jo no dono una malla per cap cosa sinó quan és d'allo més difícil d'haver); i vós aneu i em feu quedar com una persona amb la vídua. -O Huck!
Tom, I wouldn't ever got into all this trouble if it hadn't 'a' ben for that money; now you just take my sheer of it along with your'n, and gimme a ten-center sometimes--not many times, becuz I don't give a dern for a thing 'thout it's tollable hard to git--and you go and beg off for me with the widder."
Huck es sentia en lloc estret: l'esguard inquisitiu era al seu damunt: hauria dat qualsevol cosa per tenir el material d'una plausible resposta.
Huck was in a close place--the inquiring eye was upon him--he would have given anything for material for a plausible answer--nothing suggested itself--the inquiring eye was boring deeper and deeper--a senseless reply offered--there was no time to weigh it, so at a venture he uttered it--feebly:
Fa deu anys van fer-me aquesta ferida, mai es curarà del tot.
This mark was given me ten years ago, and it will never heal.
Creus que algú deu haver-li donat un nom.
You'd think someone would have given that a name.
Abandona tota això, i et donaré deu dòlars.
Drop this whole thing, and I'll give you ten bucks.
No deu pas parlar seriosament. Doncs almenys doni'm una aspirina anglesa!
Oh, well, give me some decent english aspirin.
Et donaré deu francs per tot això.
I'll give you all of 10 francs
