lorgnette


- noun
- impertinente

EN Well, you can imagine how it was with a young fellow who had never been taken notice of before, and now all of a sudden couldn't say a thing that wasn't taken up and repeated everywhere; couldn't stir abroad without constantly overhearing the remark flying from lip to lip, "There he goes; that's him!" couldn't take his breakfast without a crowd to look on; couldn't appear in an operabox without concentrating there the fire of a thousand lorgnettes.
GL Ben, podedes imaxinar o que lle ocorre a un suxeito novo ó que nunca antes se lle prestou atención e que agora, de repente, non pode dicir nin unha cousa soa que non se recolla e non se repita en tódalas partes; non pode saír da casa sen oír constantemente o seguinte comentario pasando de boca en boca: "Velo aí vai, ¡é el!" ; non pode toma-lo almorzo sen unha multitude que olle para el; non pode aparecer nun palco da ópera sen reunir nel o ardor de miles de impertinentes.
