But I was worried that if I tell all of this to the teenager, it might sound either too abstract or perhaps too weird, and there wasn't enough time anyhow, because people were waiting in the queue, so it suddenly felt like what I was trying to convey was more complicated and detailed than what the circumstances allowed me to say.
Mas me preocupava que, se eu explicasse tudo isso à adolescente, poderia soar abstrato demais, ou, talvez, muito estranho, e, de todo jeito, não tinha tempo suficiente, pois havia outras pessoas na fila. De repente, senti que o que tentava transmitir era mais complicado e detalhado do que a circunstância me permitia explicar.
