01 – (CESPE/CEBRASPE-2016-DIPLOMATA-CACD-1ªFASE)

➭     Gabarito -  EEEC   

Decide whether the following statements are right (C) or wrong (E) according to text I.

1 The author asserts that the Orient, as Europeans tend to see it, IS a culturally ancient creation. (ERRADO)

(O autor afirma que o Oriente, assim como os europeus tendem a vê-lo, é uma criação culturalmente antiga.)

➭ ERRADA – O autor afirma que o ORIENTE FOI QUASE (WAS ALMOST) UMA INVENÇÃO/CRIAÇÃO EUROPÉIA, conforme o trecho (linha 6):

• "[...] The Orient was almost a European invention...."

 ➭ ALMOST  = NOT COMPLETELY, synonym NEARLY, ABOUT, VIRTUALLY.

2 The Portuguese as well as other European peoples share the exact same Orientalist tradition as the British.

(Os portugueses, assim como outros povos europeus, compartilham exatamente a mesma tradição orientalista como os britânicos.)

➭ ERRADA – porque os portugueses compartilham  orientalismo DIFERENTE (MENOR GRAU) dos franceses e dos britânicos (que são povos europeus), conforme o trecho (linhas:14 a 16):

• "[...]  Unlike the Americans, the French and the British — less so the Germans, Russians, Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, and Swiss — have had a long tradition of what I shall be calling Orientalism, a way of coming to terms with the Orient that is based on the Orient’s special place in European Western experience."
• NÃO DA MESMA FORMA QUE os americanos, os franceses e os britânicos - MENOS AINDA os alemães, os russos, os espanhóis, os portugueses, os italianos e os suíços - que tiveram uma longa tradição do que chamarei de orientalismo,..)

➭ UNLIKE = Differently from; not in a like manner. 

➭ LESS SO = to a smaller degree - MENOS AINDA - indica um grau menor da qualidade de algo em questão.

3 Even though the Orient neighbours Europe, the peoples of this region are the most likely to appear as Europe's Other.

➭ ERRADA – porque não faz sentido o genitive case “Europe's Other” (Europa da Europa), tendo em vista que “Other” faz referência a “Europe”, conforme o trecho (linhas:18 a 22):

•  “[…] The Orient is not only adjacent to Europe; it (= the Orient) is also the place of Europe’s greatest and richest and oldest colonies, the source of its civilizations and languages, its cultural contestant, and one of its deepest and most recurring images of the Other.” (O Oriente não é apenas adjacente à Europa; é também o lugar das maiores, mais ricas e mais antigas colônias da Europa, a fonte de suas civilizações e línguas, seu concorrente cultural e uma de suas imagens mais profundas e recorrentes da Europa.)

4 It can be said that the French journalist quoted in the text was disappointed not to find the landscape once described by the referred writers.

(Pode-se dizer que o jornalista francês citado no texto ficou desapontado por não encontrar a paisagem outrora descrita pelos referidos escritores.)

➭ CORRETA – A questão 4 é do estilo INFERENCE QUESTION (It can be said that ...) onde se infere que o jornalista francês ficou desapontado por não encontrar a paisagem outrora descrita pelos referidos escritores.

Neste tipo de questão você tem que verificar se a inferência apresentada na questão é possível com base em algum trecho do texto,ou em outras palavras.

A inferência da questão 4 é possível por estar em conformidade com o trecho (linhas:1 a 4):

• "[...] On a visit to Beirut during the terrible civil war of 1975-1976 a French journalist wrote regretfully of the gutted downtown area that “it had once seemed to belong to the 4 Orient of "Chateaubriand and Nerval"."
• Em uma visita a Beirute durante a terrível guerra civil de 1975-1976, um jornalista francês escreveu COM PESAR sobre o centro da cidade devastado que “uma vez parecia pertencer ao Oriente de Chateaubriand e Nerval”

➭ REGRETFULLY = used to talk about a situation that you wish was different. – synonym REGRETTABLY – LAMENTAVELMENTE, COM PESAR.

Considering the grammatical and semantic aspects of text I, decide whether the following items are right (C) or wrong (E).

1 The word "Orientalist" (R.49) could be correctly replaced by Orientalists.

➭ STYLE OF QUESTION = VOCABULARY & GRAMMAR. 

➭ ERRADA – porque contextualmente, "Orientalist" funciona como ADJETIVO e sabemos que, em inglês, os adjetivos não se flexionam.

Mas você pode perguntar: por que "Orientalist" é adjetivo no contexto?

Vamos ao trecho:

• Out of that closeness, whose dynamic is enormously productive even if it always demonstrates the comparatively greater strength of the Occident (British, French, or American), comes the large body of texts I call Orientalist.

2 The texts defined by E. W. Said as Orientalist, albeit numerous, always suggest the Occident's superiority.

(Os textos são definidos por E. W. Said como orientalistas, ainda que numerosos, sempre sugerem a superioridade do Ocidente.)

➭ STYLE OF QUESTION = INFERENCE QUESTION (....suggest the...).

➭ O gabarito oficial é CORRETA, no entanto, consideramos a questão ERRADA por motivo explicado a seguir. 

➭ ERRADA – O autor usa o verbo TO DEMONSTRATE (to show or prove something clearly) que carrega um sentido semântico diferente do verbo TO SUGGEST (to make someone think that a particular thing is true) utilizado na questão.

• “[...] Out of that closeness, whose dynamic is enormously productive even if it always demonstrates the comparatively greater strength of the Occident (British, French, or American), comes the large body of texts I call Orientalist.”
• Fora dessa proximidade, cuja dinâmica é enormemente produtiva, mesmo que sempre DEMONSTRE a força comparativamente maior do Ocidente (britânico, francês ou americano), vem o grande corpo de textos que chamo de orientalistas.
