English to Spanish: Henry and Eliza (Jane Austen) General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English As Sir George and Lady Harcourt were superintending the Labours of their Haymakers, rewarding the industry of some by smiles of approbation, & punishing the idleness of others by a cudgel, they perceived lying closely concealed beneath the thick foliage of a Haycock, a beautifull little Girl not more than 3 months old.
Touched with the enchanting Graces of her face & delighted with the infantine tho' sprightly answers she returned to their many questions, they resolved to take her home &, having no Children of their own, to educate her with care & cost.
Being good People themselves, their first & principal care was to incite in her a Love of Virtue & a Hatred of Vice, in which they so well succeeded (Eliza having a natural turn that way herself) that when she grew up, she was the delight of all who knew her.
Translation - Spanish Mientras Sir George y Lady Harcourt estaban supervisando el trabajo de sus labradores, recompensando la laboriosidad de algunos con sonrisas de aprobación y castigando la holgazanería de otros con una porra, descubrieron a una hermosa niña pequeña de no más de tres meses, que yacía oculta bajo el grueso follaje de un montón de heno.
Conmovidos por las encantadoras gracias de su rostro y encantados con las pueriles pero enérgicas respuestas que daba a sus múltiples preguntas, decidieron llevarla a su casa y, como no tenían hijos propios, educarla con esmero y dedicación.
Ya que eran buenas personas, su primera y principal preocupación era despertar en ella el amor por la virtud y el odio por los vicios, algo en lo que tuvieron tanto éxito (porque Eliza tenía también una inclinación natural en este sentido) que cuando la niña creció, hacía las delicias de todo aquel que la conocía.
