oficio
EN My mother removed her studio to a wing of the factory building and my duties in connection with the business ceased; I was no longer required to dispose of the bodies of the small superfluous, and there was no need of alluring dogs to their doom, for my father discarded them altogether, though they still had an honorable place in the name of the oil.
GL Miña nai trasladou o gabinete a unha ala do edificio da fábrica, e as miñas obrigas en relación co oficio cesaron; xa non me requirían para que me desfixese dos corpos dos pequenos superfluos, e non había necesidade de atraer cans á súa condenación, pois meu pai renunciou a eles por completo, por máis que aínda ocupaban un honroso lugar no nome do aceite.

ocupación
EN And so then, she concluded, addressing herself by bending silently in his direction to William Bankes -- poor man! who had no wife and no children, and dined alone in lodgings except for tonight; and in pity for him, life being now strong enough to bear her on again, she began all this business, as a sailor not without weariness sees the wind fill his sail and yet hardly wants to be off again and thinks how, had the ship sunk, he would have whirled round and round and found rest on the floor of the sea.
GL E, daquela, inclinándose en silencio cara a William Bankes, concluíu: ¡malpocado!, que non ten muller nin fillos e sempre ten que cear el só nas pousadas, agás esta noite; e compadecéndose del, agora que a vida recuperara forza dabondo para seguir empurrándoa, volveu ás súas ocupacións, coma un mariñeiro que ve, non sen cansazo, como o vento enche a súa vela aínda que el non ten moitas ganas de partir outra vez, e pensa que, se o barco afundise, había caer dando voltas e voltas e había atopar acougo no fondo do mar.
