Olá, qual seria a tradução de "ill-wind"? Muito obrigada.
I spoke to Shelly earlier, he wants her at the tables. The floorman nods, walks off. Bernie makes for the rowdy gaming tables. Takes his time about it. His approach brings an ill-wind to the area. The players appear to sense it. It's in their reactions. A slight hesitation of the dice. Fingers tensing over a pile of chips.

: No, Michael. You're mistaking it for "'it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good'., which can mean "há males que vêm para o bem.

Acho que é isto que o texto original quer dizer. Quando Bernie entra em cena, o clima fica pesado.

vento de mau agouro
Sorry
Explanation:
A idéia é que ele vai trazer azar para os jogadores. Ele é considerado um cooler. Um "pé-frio" É por isso que ficam nervosos os jogadores:
The players appear to sense it. It's in their reactions. A slight hesitation of the dice. Fingers tensing over a pile of chips.
O texto depois continua assim:
BERNIE
Do you know what I do at the Shangri-
la?
NATALIE
I asked around. You're a "cooler."
You turn winners into losers.
BERNIE
And do you know how I do that?
NATALIE
I know there's stuff that goes on in
casinos all the time --
BERNIE
I do it by being myself. People get
next to me and their luck turns.
It's always been that way.
