outline
 noun
 perfil

GL Pero ese era un dos xeitos de coñece-la xente, pensaba: coñece-lo perfil, non o detalle, sentar no xardín e mirar como as ladeiras dun outeiro se van tinguindo de morado conforme descenden cara ós distantes breixos.

contorno
EN When the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their bold outlines on the clear evening sky; but, sometimes, when the rest of the landscape is cloudless, they will gather a hood of gray vapors about their summits, which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will glow and light up like a crown of glory.
GL Cando o tempo é bo e estable, as montañas vístense de azul e violeta, e pintan os seus contornos pronunciados no ceo azul da tardiña. Mais outras veces, cando o resto da paisaxe está despexada, acumulan unha nube de vapores grises sobre o cumio que, gracias ós últimos raios do solpor, brillan e resplandecen formando unha auréola luminosa.
