Estava segura que havíeu fet el plaga i havíeu anat a nedar. | I'd made sure you'd played hookey and been a-swimming. |
-Sabeu? me'n vaig a nedar, jo. | "Say--I'm going in a-swimming, I am. |
Dormia als llindars de les portes quan feia bon temps, i en bótes buides quan plovia; no havia d'anar a l'escola ni a la capella, ni reconeixer ningú per senyor, ni obeir a ningú: podia anar a pescar o a nedar, quan i on li plagués, i romandre-hi tanta d'estona com li fos escaient. Ningú li prohibia de tenir batusses; podia vetllar fins a l'hora que li semblés bé; era sempre el primer noi que anava amb els peus nus en primavera, i el darrer en tornar a adoptar el cuiro en la tardor; mai no s'havia de rentar o posar-se roba neta; podia renegar prodigiosament. | He slept on doorsteps in fine weather and in empty hogsheads in wet; he did not have to go to school or to church, or call any being master or obey anybody; he could go fishing or swimming when and where he chose, and stay as long as it suited him; nobody forbade him to fight; he could sit up as late as he pleased; he was always the first boy that went barefoot in the spring and the last to resume leather in the fall; he never had to wash, nor put on clean clothes; he could swear wonderfully. |
Abans que l'aigua li arribés a la cintura havia fet cosa de mig camí: el corrent ja no permetia més gual aleshores: així és que es llança a nedar confiadament per la resta de cent yardes. | Before the depth reached his middle he was halfway over; the current would permit no more wading, now, so he struck out confidently to swim the remaining hundred yards. |
Aleshores Joe i Huck van tornar a nedar, pero Tom no volgué arriscar-s'hi, perque descobrí que en dar una guitza a sos pantalons havia engegat l'enfilall de cascavells de serpent que duia a l'anca, i s'estranyava d'haver-se pogut escapar de rampes, per tant de temps, sense la protecció de aquest encís misteriós. | Then Joe and Huck had another swim, but Tom would not venture, because he found that in kicking off his trousers he had kicked his string of rattlesnake rattles off his ankle, and he wondered how he had escaped cramp so long without the protection of this mysterious charm. |
Pilars que reposen a les espatlles d'un geni colossal que està a sobre d'un àliga i l'àliga sobre un bou que cavalca sobre un peix que neda al mar de l'Eternitat. | Pillars that rest on the shoulders of a huge genius who is standing on an eagle hung to a bull who overlaps a fish who swims in the sea of the eternity. |
Tom nedava en felicitat. | Tom was swimming in bliss. |
Es va fer famós quan va passar l'eliminatòria tot i que mai no havia fet 50m abans de l'etapa de classificació prèvia i nedava tot sol quan els dos altres nedadors que competien amb ell van ser eliminats per sortida nul·la. | He gained fame when he won the heat although he had never raced more than 50m before the preliminaries, and was swimming by himself when the two other swimmers in his heat were eliminated for false starts. |
Tant estimula sos sentiments amb l'aire patetic d'aquest somni, que hagué de vetllar per seguir empassant-se la saliva, perque estava arran d'escanyar-se; i sos ulls nedaren en un enterboliment aquós, que el parpelleig féu sobreeixir, i davalla i goteja per l'extrem de son nas. | He so worked upon his feelings with the pathos of these dreams, that he had to keep swallowing, he was so like to choke; and his eyes swam in a blur of water, which overflowed when he winked, and ran down and trickled from the end of his nose. |
Estaves nedant de veritat. | You actually went swimming. |
Cridar com un adolescent nedant en un llac d'aigua gelada és la resposta idònia per veure'ls. | Screaming like a teenage girl swimming in a freezing-cold lake is the appropriate response to face time. |
L'últim cop que la vaig veure, estava nedant amb dues de les meves noies als Jardins de l'Aigua. | The last time I saw her, she was swimming with two of my girls in the Water Gardens. |
Recordo molt que els meus fills gaudien nedant quan eren petits. | Oh, I remember how much my children enjoyed swimming when they were young. |
En Michael Phelps no guanyà 18 medalles nedant en una piscina d'escorces de porc? | Michael Phelps did not win 18 gold medals by swimming through a pool of pork rinds! |
