- adjective
- absurdo

EN It embarrassed her; for in a cooler, quieter moment it appeared to her absurd that she should have taken his action so seriously, so dramatically.

- ridículo

EN There was always a conflict in Rollo Martins --between the absurd Christian name and the sturdy Dutch (four generations back) surname.
GL Sempre houbo un enfrontamento en Rollo Martins: entre o ridículo nome de pía e o sólido apelido holandés, que xa se remontaba a catro xeracións.

- risible, · risíbel

EN It is as accurate as I can make it --I haven't invented a line of dialogue, though I can't vouch for Martins' memory; an ugly story if you leave out the girl: grim and sad and unrelieved if it were not for that absurd episode of the British Cultural Relations Society lecturer.
GL É o máis exacto posible, intentei non inventar nin unha soa liña de diálogo, pero o que non podo é responder da memoria de Martins. Se non fose pola rapaza sería unha fea historia, lóbrega e aburrida, a non ser por ese risible episodio do conferenciante no British Council.
