valente

EN The soul of the gallant venal city which his elders had told him of had shrunk with time to a faint mortal odour rising from the earth and he knew that in a moment when he entered the sombre college he would be conscious of a corruption other than that of Buck Egan and Burnchapel Whaley.
GL A alma da cidade valente e venal da que lle falaran os seus devanceiros, fora reducida polo tempo a este cheiro feble e mortal da terra, e sabía que nun intre, en canto entrase na sombría universidade, sería consciente dunha corrupción ben distinta á de Buck Egan e Burnchapel Whaley.

refinado

EN The gallant Ichabod now spent at least an extra half hour at his toilet, brushing and furbishing up his best, and indeed only suit of rusty black, and arranging his looks by a bit of broken looking-glass, that hung up in the schoolhouse.
GL O refinado Ichabod pasou alomenos outra media hora no seu cuarto de aseo cepillando e limpando o seu mellor (e único) traxe negro descolorido, e tamén acicalándose coa axuda do anaco dun espello roto que había colgado na escola.

galante

EN And that reduced their relationship to something neutral, without that element of sex in it which made his manner to Minta so gallant, almost gay.
GL E iso reducía as súas relacións a algo neutro, sen aquel ingrediente sexual que había na actitude tan galante, case xovial, que mantiña con Minta.
