World Cup 2014: Brazil still facing problems with 100 days to go

Published by The Guardian

(The text below has been slightly modified to better suit the exam)

1

The Arena de São Paulo will not be delivered until mid-May leaving FIFA with a race against time for the required fitting.
2
In 100 days, Brazil will kick off the World Cup against Croatia in the gleaming new Arena de São Paulo. Assuming, that is, the stadium is finished in time.
3
Amid growing excitement at the World Cup returning to the home of the beautiful game, there is concern at the extent to which deadlines have been repeatedly missed before being torn up altogether. "I am not a World Cup specialist but I will say this has not been easy, for sure," said the FIFA secretary general, Jérôme Valcke, one man who you might hope would be exactly that, in Zurich this weekend.
4
"I think things will work well but it is also true that whenever you receive something late it becomes a challenge to make it ready in time."
5
Every major sporting event has to face down doomsday predictions that typically reach a crescendo around 100 days out before being drowned out by sporting drama and emotion. But Brazil faces a unique cocktail of serious issues that have left FIFA's president, Sepp Blatter, claiming he was praying to "God or Allah" that nothing else goes wrong.
6
The biggest outstanding concern remains the readiness of four of the twelve stadiums that are scattered throughout the vast country. Despite being awarded the World Cup in 2007, host cities were not decided until two years later amid political wrangling.
7
A series of delays followed, as Valcke and other FIFA executives attempted to hurry things along. Even so, the stadiums in São Paulo – where work was delayed by the deaths of two construction workers – and Curitiba will not be delivered until mid-May. Even some of those that are finished appear to be falling apart – chunks of the roof fell into the stands in a storm-lashed Belo Horizonte at the weekend, hours before a match. That will leave FIFA and organisers facing a race against time to fit them out with the necessary IT, media, catering and ticketing facilities required. And that is before the debate over what will happen to them afterwards begins in earnest.

Mr. Vargas Llosa, 74, is one of the most celebrated writers of the Spanish-speaking world, an anti-totalitarian intellectual whose work covers the range of human experience, whether it is ideology or eros. He is frequently mentioned with his contemporary Gabriel García Márquez, who won the literature Nobel in 1982, the last South American to do so. Mr. Vargas Llosa has written more than 30 works of nonfiction, plays and novels, including ―The Feast of the Goat‖ and ―The War of the End of the World."

O Sr. Vargas Llosa, 74, é um dos escritores mais celebrados do mundo de língua espanhola, um intelectual antitotalitário cujo trabalho abrange o alcance da experiência humana, seja ideologia ou eros. Ele é frequentemente mencionado com seu contemporâneo Gabriel García Márquez, que ganhou o Nobel de literatura em 1982, o último sul-americano a fazê-lo.

The prize is the first for a writer in the Spanish language in two decades, after Octavio Paz of Mexico won in 1990. It renews attention on the Latin American writers who gained renown in the 1960s, like Julio Cortázar of Argentina and Carlos Fuentes of Mexico, who formed the region’s "boom generation".

O prêmio é o primeiro para um escritor de língua espanhola em duas décadas, depois que Octavio Paz, do México, venceu em 1990. Ele renova a atenção sobre os escritores latino-americanos que ganharam renome na década de 1960, como Julio Cortázar, da Argentina, e Carlos Fuentes, do México, que formaram a "geração boom" da região.

During a news conference at the Instituto Cervantes in Manhattan on Thursday, Mr. Vargas Llosa, an elegant, dashing figure with silvery hair, appeared in front of a crowd of giddy journalists, mostly Spanish-speaking, and Alejandro Toledo, the former president of Peru, who sat in the front row. Mr. Vargas Llosa is currently spending the semester in the United States, teaching Latin American studies at Princeton.

Durante uma coletiva de imprensa no Instituto Cervantes em Manhattan na quinta-feira, o Sr. Vargas Llosa, uma figura elegante e vistosa com cabelos prateados, apareceu diante de uma multidão de jornalistas eufóricos, a maioria falando espanhol, e Alejandro Toledo, o ex-presidente do Peru, que estava sentado na primeira fila. O Sr. Vargas Llosa está atualmente passando o semestre nos Estados Unidos, ensinando estudos latino-americanos em Princeton.

>> "news conference" - uma coletiva de imprensa.

>> "is currently spending the semester" - está atualmente passando o semestre.

Answering questions in English, Spanish and a bit of French, Mr. Vargas Llosa called the Nobel a recognition of the importance of Latin American literature and of the Spanish language, which has acquired "a sort of citizenship in the world," he said.

Respondendo a perguntas em inglês, espanhol e um pouco de francês, o Sr. Vargas Llosa chamou o Nobel de um reconhecimento da importância da literatura latino-americana e da língua espanhola, que adquiriu "uma espécie de cidadania no mundo", disse ele.

>> "citizenship"(noun) -  cidadania.

The announcement of the prize was greeted largely with enthusiasm in Latin America, where Mr. Vargas Llosa is widely admired for his literary greatness but is a divisive figure because of his conservative politics. He has frequently criticized leftist governments in the region, including those of Cuba and Venezuela.

O anúncio do prêmio foi recebido amplamente com entusiasmo na América Latina, onde o Sr. Vargas Llosa é amplamente admirado por sua grandeza literária, mas é uma figura divisiva por causa de sua política conservadora. Ele frequentemente critica governos de esquerda na região, incluindo os de Cuba e Venezuela.

>> "leftist governments" - governos de esquerda.

In Peru, members of Congress took to the floor to praise him. People celebrated in Arequipa, the provincial city where he was born, with Peruvian television showing a band playing the national anthem in the streets.

No Peru, membros do Congresso começaram elogiá-lo. As pessoas celebraram em Arequipa, a cidade provincial onde ele nasceu, com a televisão peruana mostrando uma banda tocando o hino nacional nas ruas.

>> "TO TAKE THE FLOOR" - to start speaking or to stand and begin to dance:

Felipe Calderón, Mexico’s president, wrote in a Twitter message that the prize was cause for "Latin American pride."

Felipe Calderón, presidente do México, escreveu em uma mensagem no Twitter que o prêmio era motivo de "orgulho latino-americano".

In selecting Mr. Vargas Llosa, the Swedish Academy has once again made a literary choice tinged with politics, though this time from the right instead of the left.

Ao selecionar o Sr. Vargas Llosa, a Academia Sueca mais uma vez fez uma escolha literária com um toque político, mas desta vez da direita em vez da esquerda.

Recent winners of the literature Nobel include Herta Müller, the Romanian-born German novelist; Orhan Pamuk of Turkey; and Harold Pinter of Britain.

Os vencedores recentes do Nobel de Literatura incluem Herta Müller, a romancista alemã nascida na Romênia; Orhan Pamuk, da Turquia; e Harold Pinter, da Grã-Bretanha.

"It’s very difficult for a Latin American writer to avoid politics," Mr. Vargas Llosa said on Thursday. "Literature is an expression of life, and you cannot eradicate politics from life."

"É muito difícil para um escritor latino-americano evitar a política", disse o Sr. Vargas Llosa na quinta-feira. "A literatura é uma expressão da vida, e você não pode erradicar a política da vida."

The previous Nobel laureate of the "boom generation," Mr. García Márquez of Colombia, won the prize after wide acclaim for his masterpiece, "One Hundred Years of Solitude." In a twist worthy of one of Mr. Vargas Llosa’s subplots, Mr. García Márquez and Mr. Vargas Llosa, at one point close friends, had a violent falling out in 1976 in Mexico City, which they have yet to patch up.

O anterior ganhador do prêmio Nobel da "geração boom", o Sr. García Márquez da Colômbia, ganhou o prêmio após grande aclamação por sua obra-prima, "Cem Anos de Solidão". Em uma reviravolta digna de uma das subtramas do Sr. Vargas Llosa, o Sr. García Márquez e o Sr. Vargas Llosa, em um ponto amigos próximos, tiveram uma briga violenta em 1976 na Cidade do México, que eles ainda não reconciliaram.

>> "TO PATCH UP" - to repair a relationship, to reconcile.

The news that Mr. Vargas Llosa had won the prize reached him early on Thursday morning, when he was working in his apartment in Manhattan, preparing to set out on a walk through Central Park, he told a radio station in Peru. Initially, he thought it was a prank. ―It was a grand surprise,‖ he said.

A notícia de que o Sr. Vargas Llosa havia ganhado o prêmio chegou até ele na manhã de quinta-feira, quando ele estava trabalhando em seu apartamento em Manhattan, preparando-se para sair para uma caminhada pelo Central Park, ele contou a uma estação de rádio no Peru. Inicialmente, ele pensou que fosse uma brincadeira. "Foi uma grande surpresa", disse ele.

"It’s a good way to start a New York day."

"É uma boa maneira de começar um dia em Nova York."
