topsy-turvy
adjective
patas arriba
EN He would delight them equally by his anecdotes of witchcraft, and of the direful omens and portentous sights and sounds in the air, which prevailed in the earlier times of Connecticut; and would frighten them wofully with speculations upon comets and shooting stars; and with the alarming fact that the world did absolutely turn round, and that they were half the time topsy-turvy!
GL A cambio, el deleitábaas coas súas historias de bruxas e cos terribles augurios e os sons e visións proféticos do aire, que prevalecían nos primeiros tempos de Connecticut. Deste xeito, aterrábaas sen piedade con teorías sobre cometas e estrelas fugaces e coa espantosa idea de que o mundo dá voltas completas e de que durante a metade da vida estaban todos patas arriba.
