overshoe
 noun
 chanco
EN Life, my old shipmate, life, at any moment and in any view, is as dangerous as a sinking ship; and yet it is man's handsome fashion to carry umbrellas, to wear indiarubber over-shoes, to begin vast works, and to conduct himself in every way as if he might hope to be eternal.
GL A vida, meu vello compaņeiro, a vida, de calquera xeito, en calquera lugar, é igual de perigosa que nun barco que vai calando, e, sen embargo, o home gusta de levar paraugas, calzar chancos de caucho, comezar traballos de envergadura, e actuar en cada caso coma se esperase ser eterno.
