chisco

EN "Well, I hope you left some suitable excuse," said her husband, somewhat appeased, as he added a dash of cayenne pepper to the soup.
GL --Ben, espero que deixases unha escusa satisfactoria --dixo o seu home, calmado, en certo modo, mentres que engadía un chisco de caiena á sopa.

raia

EN Thus signed off with dots and dashes the era of Morse telegraphy, a medium which in the 19th century had created a revolution in world communications, serving virtually every aspect of human activity: government, diplomacy, business, industry, railways, newspapers, military, and more, plus the needs of ordinary people who wished to send telegrams.
GL Con numerosos puntos e raias chegou pois á súa fin a era da telegrafía en morse. No século XIX dera orixe a unha revolución das comunicacións mundiais en case tódolos ámbitos: administración, diplomacia, negocios, industria, fenocarris, xomais, exército, sen esquece-lo telegrama do simple particular.

botar a correr

EN He would be lying in camp, dozing lazily in the heat of the day, when suddenly his head would lift and his ears cock up, intent and listening, and he would spring to his feet and dash away, and on and on, for hours, through the forest aisles and across the open spaces where the niggerheads bunched.
GL Outras veces estaba deitado no campamento, durmiñando preguizosamente á luz do día, e de súpeto erguía as orellas como se sentise algo e botaba a correr horas e horas polos sombrizos camiños da fraga ou os espacios abertos onde medraban as flores silvestres.
