They had waited their whole lives for this moment, just as their medieval predecessors had longed for the end of the world, and just as my grandmother waited for the Oprah Winfrey Show to come on Channel 8 every day at 4 o'clock.
Eles esperaram toda a vida por esse momento, assim como seus antepassados medievais  aguardaram pelo fim do mundo, e assim como minha avó aguardava  pelo show da Oprah no Canal 8, todos os dias às 4h da tarde.
