absolute


- adjective
- absoluto

EN The world by all means should have shared it, could Mr Bankes have said why that woman pleased him so; why the sight of her reading a fairy tale to her boy had upon him precisely the same effect as the solution of a scientific problem, so that he rested in contemplation of it, and felt, as he felt when he had proved something absolute about the digestive system of plants, that barbarity was tamed, the reign of chaos subdued.
PT Deveria o mundo, por todas as formas, ter partilhado dele, se Mr Bankes conseguisse ter dito por que razão lhe agradava tanto aquela mulher; por que razão o vê-la ler ao filho um conto-de-fadas sobre ele produzia, exactamente, o mesmo efeito que a resolução de um problema científico, de tal forma que ficava a contemplá-la, e sentia, à semelhança do que sentira ao haver provado algo de absoluto sobre o sistema digestivo das plantas, que a barbárie fora domesticada, o reino do caos dominado.
