patín

EN Matthewson's sledge loaded with a thousand pounds of flour, had been standing for a couple of hours, and in the intense cold (it was sixty below zero) the runners had frozen fast to the hard-packed snow.
GL O trineo de Matthewson, coas mil libras de fariña enriba, levaba máis dun par de horas alí parado, e, co intenso frío que facía (sesenta grados baixo cero), os patíns estaban apegados á neve.

corredor

EN Though he had heard his father say that Mike Flynn had put some of the best runners of modern times through his hands Stephen often glanced at his trainer's flabby stubble-covered face, as it bent over the long stained fingers through which he rolled his cigarette, and with pity at the mild lustreless blue eyes which would look up suddenly from the task and gaze vaguely into the blue distance while the long swollen fingers ceased their rolling and grains and fibres of tobacco fell back into the pouch.
GL Aínda que Stephen sentira dicir ao seu pai que polas mans de Mike Flynn pasaran os mellores corredores dos tempos modernos, a miúdo botaba unha olladela sobre o rostro hirsuto do seu adestrador, mentres se dobraba sobre os dedos longos e descoloridos a través dos que enrolaba o cigarro, e sentía piedade dos ollos azuis, brandos e esvaecidos que, de súbito, erguían a vista da tarefa e botaban vagas olladelas na distancia azul, mentres os dedos longos e inzados deixaban de enrolar e os grans e as febras de tabaco volvían a caer na bolsa.
