behoove

- behove

- transitive verb
- competer

EN There is a code of behaviour she knew, whose seventh article (it may be) says that on occasions of this sort it behoves the woman, whatever her own occupation may be, to go to the help of the young man opposite so that he may expose and relieve the thigh bones, the ribs, of his vanity, of his urgent desire to assert himself; as indeed it is their duty, she reflected, in her old maidenly fairness, to help us, suppose the Tube were to burst into flames.
GL Sabía que existe un código de conducta que establece, no seu sétimo artigo (probablemente), que, en situacións desta índole, compete á muller, calquera que sexa a súa ocupación, acudir en axuda do mozo que ten enfronte de tal xeito que este poida poñer ó descuberto e dar desafogo ós fémures e costelas da súa vaidade, do seu desexo urxente de autoafirmarse; da mesma maneira que o deber deles, seguía a cavilar coa súa boa fe de solteirona, sería o de axudarnos a nós se, por exemplo, se declarase un incendio no metro.
