Word for today:
Booming Voice
A shipwreck survivor
Náufrago
washes up on the beach
Jogado na praia pelo mar
of an island and is immediately surrounded
Cercado
by a group of native warriors.
“I’m done for
With no means of escape
Perdido, sem saída
!” he cries in despair. “No, you are NOT!” – comes a booming voice
Vozeirão
from all around him. “Listen carefully, son, and do exactly what I say. Grab
the spear
Lança
from the man on your left and pierce
Perfurar
it right through
Adjetivo: findo, terminado, pronto: I’m through! (terminei)
the heart of the chief.”
The man grabbed
the spear and shoved
Empurrar
it right through the chief, who collapses, dead. The remainder
Restante
of the tribe stare
at him in disbelief.
“Now what?” – the man asked. And the booming voice answers: “NOW, my son, you’re done for.”
