Linha 172:
A minha preocupação era de tal ordem que nem retirava consolo do meu cachimbo. Mas o Billy chegou; e foi como um padre Católico a acalmar um tumulto Irlandês.
<font color=red>Not that he preached to them or said or did anything in particular; but a virtue went out of him, sugaring the sour ones.
Não que ele lhes pregasse ou dissesse ou fizesse algo especial; mas emanava dele uma virtude que adoçava os comportamentos mais ácidos.
<font color=red>They took to him like hornets to treacle; all but the buffer of the gang, the big shaggy chap with the fire-red whiskers. ▼

<font color=red>He indeed out of envy, perhaps, of the newcomer, and thinking such a 'sweet and pleasant fellow,' as he mockingly designated him to the others, could hardly have the spirit of a game-cock, must needs bestir himself in trying to get up an ugly row with him. ▼
Eram atraídos por ele como vespas a xarope de cana-de-açúcar; todos excepto o mais escuro do grupo, o grande homem peludo com as patilhas vermelho-fogo.
<font color=red>Billy forebore with him and reasoned with him in a pleasant way- he is something like myself, Lieutenant, to whom aught like a quarrel is hateful- but nothing served. ▼

<font color=red>So, in the second dog-watch one day the Red Whiskers in presence of the others, under pretence of showing Billy just whence a sirloin steak was cut- for the fellow had once been a butcher- insultingly gave him a dig under the ribs. Quick as lightning Billy let fly his arm. ▼
Ele mesmo que, talvez, por inveja do recém chegado, e pensando que um tal 'rapaz doce e agradável,' como ele o designava aos outros gozando, dificilmente podia ter o espírito de galo de combate, sentia a obrigação de sobressair tentando atear uma discussão feia com ele.
<font color=red>I dare say he never meant to do quite as much as he did, but anyhow he gave the burly fool a terrible drubbing. It took about half a minute, I should think. And, lord bless you, the lubber was astonished at the celerity. And will you believe it, Lieutenant, the Red Whiskers now really loves Billy- loves him, or is the biggest hypocrite that ever I heard of. But theyall love him. Some of 'em do his washing, darn his old trousers for him; the carpenter is at odd times making a pretty little chest of drawers for him. Anybody will do anything for Billy Budd; and it's the happy family here. But now, Lieutenant, if that young fellow goes- I know how it will be aboard the Rights. Not again very soon shall I, coming up from dinner, lean over the capstan smoking a quiet pipe- no, not very soon again, I think. Ay, Lieutenant, you are going to take away the jewel of 'em; you are going to take away my peacemaker!" And with that the good soul had really some ado in checking a rising sob.▼

Billy resistia-lhe e argumentava com ele de forma agradável- ele é parecido comigo, Tenente, para quem qualquer coisa parecida com uma briga é odiosa- mas de nada servia.

Então, uma vez, no segundo turno da noite, o Red Whiskers<ref>Patilhas Vermelhas</ref> na presença dos outros, e a pretexto de mostrar a Billy de que parte se cortava um bife de lombo- pois o tipo tinha em tempos sido um talhante- insultuosamente deu-lhe um soco abaixo das costelas. Rápido como um relâmpago Billy disparou o braço.
<font color=red>I dare say he never meant to do quite as much as he did, but anyhow he gave the burly fool a terrible drubbing.</font>
Atrevo-me a dizer que ele nunca pretendeu fazer tanto quanto fez, mas de qualquer modo deu ao fortalhaço tolo um terrível castigo.

Penso que durou cerca de meio minuto. E, abençoado seja, o trapalhão ficou assombrado com a celeridade. E acredite, Tenente, o Red Whiskers agora adora realmente o Billy- adora-o ou é o maior hipócrita que eu já vi.

<font color=red>"Well," said the officer who had listened with amused interest to all this, and now waxing merry with his tipple; "Well, blessed are the peacemakers, especially the fighting peacemakers! And such are the seventy- four beauties some of which you see poking their noses out of the port-holes of yonder war-ship lying-to for me," pointing thro' the cabin window at the Indomitable.
