Portuguese to English translation
ABBOTT, M. E. (2011). The End of Everything. Reagan Arthur Books.
| English | Portuguese |
| One She, light-streaky out of the corner of my eye. It’s that game, the one called Bloody Murder, the name itself sending tingly nerves shooting buckshot in my belly, my gut, or wherever nerves may be. It’s so late and we shouldn’t be out at all, but we don’t care. | Um Ela espreitava pelo canto do olho. É aquele jogo chamado Bloody Murder, apenas o nome da brincadeira já faz com que eu sinta pontadas e formigamento nos nervos da barriga, estômago ou onde quer que seja que os nervos fiquem. Está tão tarde e, realmente, não deveríamos estar andando pela rua, mas não nos importamos. |
