chivalrously
adverb
por cortesía
EN The Russian was just doing his duty and watched the girl all the time, without a flicker of sexual interest; the American stood with his back chivalrously turned, but aware, I am sure, of every movement; the Frenchman smoked his cigarette and watched with detached amusement the reflection of the girl dressing in the mirror of the wardrobe; and the Englishman stood in the passage wondering what to do next.
GL O ruso só cumpría co seu deber e miraba todo o tempo a rapaza, sen o menor interese sexual; o americano, por cortesía, deulle a espalda, aínda que atento ao máis mínimo movemento; o francés fumaba o seu cigarro e ollaba, con animada despreocupación, a imaxe da rapaza tratando de vestirse que se reflectía no espello do armario; o inglés quedara no corredor a preguntarse cal era o seu deber.
