sensato

EN I have even talked with Rip Van Winkle myself, who, when last I saw him, was a very venerable old man, and so perfectly rational and consistent on every other point, that I think no conscientious person could refuse to take this into the bargain; nay, I have seen a certificate on the subject taken before a country justice and signed with a cross, in the justice's own handwriting.
GL Eu mesmo falei con Rip Van Winkle, que, a derradeira vez que o vin, era un vello digno de todo respecto que razoaba con tal perfección e que era tan coherente en tódalas súas afirmacións, que penso que ningunha persoa sensata habería dubidar de que todo aquilo ocorreu realmente. Ademais, eu vin un certificado sobre o asunto levado ante o xulgado, e asinado cunha cruz, co puño e letra do propio xuíz.

meticuloso

EN Truth to say, he was a conscientious man, and ever bore in mind the golden maxim, "Spare the rod and spoil the child".
GL A verdade é que era un home bastante meticuloso, que sempre lembraba o famoso refrán: "non hai razón coma a do bastón".
