English to Portuguese: The Last Kingdom - Bernard Cornwell General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English “I shall expect your presence at the negotiations,” he said, but did not explain why, nor wait for any response, but just walked on. He and Guthrum were talking. A canopy had been raised between Alfred’s camp and Werham’s western wall, and it was beneath that shelter that a truce was being hammered out. Alfred would have liked to assault Werham, but the approach was narrow, the wall was high and in very good repair, and the Danes were numerous. It would have been a very risky fight, and one that the Danes could expect to win, and so Alfred had abandoned the idea. As for the Danes, they were trapped. They had been relying on Halfdan coming to attack Alfred in the rear, but Halfdan was dead in Ireland, and Guthrum’s men were too many to be carried away on their ships, big as their fleet was, and if they tried to break out by land they would be forced to fight Alfred on the narrow strip of land between the two rivers, and that would cause a great slaughter. I remembered Ravn telling me how the Danes feared to lose too many men for they could not replace them quickly. Guthrum could stay where he was, of course, but then Alfred would besiege him and Alfred had already ordered that every barn, granary, and storehouse within raiding distance of the Poole was to be emptied. The Danes would starve in the coming winter.
Translation - Portuguese - Espero sua presença nas negociações - ele disse.
Mas não explicou por quê, nem esperou resposta. Apenas foi andando. Ele e Guthrum estavam conversando. Uma cobertura fora montada entre o acampamento de Alfredo e a muralha oeste de Werham, e era sob aquele abrigo que uma trégua estava sendo elaborada. Alfredo gostaria de ter atacado Werham, mas a rota de aproximação era estreita, a muralha alta e em muito bom estado, e os dinamarqueses eram numerosos. Haveria sido uma luta muito arriscada, uma luta que os dinamarqueses poderiam ter vencido, por isso Alfredo abandonara a ideia. Quanto aos dinamarqueses, estavam encurralados. Tinham contado com a chegada de Halfdan para atacar a retaguarda de Alfredo, mas Halfdan estava morto na Irlanda, e os homens de Guthrum eram muito numerosos para serem levados nos navios, por maior que fosse a frota. E, se tentassem sair por terra, seriam obrigados a lutar contra Alfredo na estreita tira de terra entre os dois rios, o que causaria grande carnificina. Lembrei-me de Ravn dizendo como os dinamarqueses temiam perder homens demais porque não podiam substituí-los rapidamente. Guthrum podia ficar onde estava, claro, mas Alfredo iria sitiá-lo e já ordenara que cada celeiro, depósito de grãos ou armazém a distância de ser atacado a partir do Poole fosse esvaziado. Os dinamarqueses morreriam de fome no próximo inverno.
