conceit
noun
seguridade
EN Such were the extremes of emotion that Mr Ramsay excited in his children's breasts by his mere presence; standing, as now, lean as a knife, narrow as the blade of one, grinning sarcastically, not only with the pleasure of disillusioning his son and casting ridicule upon his wife, who was ten thousand times better in every way than he was (James thought), but also with some secret conceit at his own accuracy of judgement.
GL Tales eran as emocións extremas que o señor Ramsay suscitaba no peito dos seus fillos só coa súa presencia; cando permanecía de pé, coma agora, estreito e afiado coma a folla dun coitelo, sorrindo sarcasticamente, non só polo pracer de desilusionar ó seu fillo e deixar en ridículo á súa muller, dez mil veces superior a el en todo (coidaba James), senón tamén pola súa íntima seguridade na propia precisión de xuízo.

fachenda
EN All his flippancy and conceit had evaporated; his hair, it is said, had nearly turned gray with affright, and he had a downcast, dogged look, as if he still felt the halter round his neck.
GL Toda a súa levidade e fachenda esvaeceran; o seu cabelo, disque, virara case que branco co medo, e tiña un aspecto acañado e a mirada fixa, coma se aínda sentise o barazo arredor do pescozo.
