portentoso

EN The thing to be, with the one person who knew, was easy and natural --to make the reference rather than be seeming to avoid it, to avoid it rather than be seeming to make it, and to keep it, in any case, familiar, facetious even, rather than pedantic and portentous.
GL Coa única persoa que o sabía, como tiña que ser era tranquilo e natural, referirse ó tema en vez de parecer querer evitalo, evitalo en vez de parecer querer falar del e mantelo, en calquera caso, familiar, mesmo divertido, en vez de pedante e portentoso.
