Lição 1- Céus Turbulentos
Lesson 1 – Turbulent Skies
Em poucos segundos, o avião estava no ar em alta velocidade.
Within seconds, the speeding plane was airborne.
Meus olhos brilharam e meu coração cantou quando eu olhei pela pequena janela com as cenas pitorescas de vales, montes, casas, e o campo nitidamente definidos.
My eyes beamed and my heart sang as I looked through the small window at the picturesque scenes of valleys, hills, houses, and the neatly laid out countryside.
Mas logo nós estavamos acima das nuvens e eu fechei os olhos e relaxei minha cabeça para trás no assento.
But soon we were way above the clouds and I closed my eyes and relaxed my head backward on the seat.
O vôo durou cerca de uma hora e meia; mas não foi de todo bom velejar.
The flight lasted about one and a half hours; but it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
Em cerca de 45 minutos de vôo nós batemos céus turbulentos.
At around 45 minutes into flying we hit turbulent skies.
O avião começou a tremer violentamente e eu comecei a rezar ainda mais violentamente.
The plane started to shake violently and I started to pray even more violently.
A maioria das pessoas não sabia como reagir.
Most of the people didn’t know how to react.
Alguns se entreolharam e sorriram, alguns ficaram estupefactos, enquanto outros ficaram desconfortáveis.
Some looked at each other and smiled, some appeared dumbfounded, while others were uneasy.
Só então, meus olhos vislumbraram as instruções na minha frente “use o assento como um dispositivo de flutuação em caso de um acidente em um rio ou no mar”.
Just then, my eyes glanced the instructions in front of me to “use the seat as a flotation device in the event of a crash into a river or ocean”.
Embora eu adorasse voar, durante esta experiência, eu prometi a mim mesmo ficar no chão por tanto tempo quanto possível.
Even though I loved flying so much, during this experience, I promised myself to stay on the ground for as long as possible.
Mas depois do desembarque, eu não pensei muito nessa promessa: minha mente recaiu em seu estado aventureiro original.
But after the landing, I didn’t think much of this promise: my mind relapsed into its old adventurous state.
