 TRADUÇÃO - TEXT 1:
How do you know what an English teenager is saying?
Como é que se sabe o que um adolescente inglês está dizendo?
Teen jargon changes so often that it can be hard to keep up.
O jargão dos adolescentes muda com tanta frequência que pode ser difícil de acompanhar.
But a survey of school children by Oxford Dictionaries has uncovered some of their usage. If you are "eggy", it means you're stressed, if you are "chonged", you are tired.       
Mas uma pesquisa realizado pela Oxford Dictionaries a crianças em idade escolar revelou algumas das suas utilizações. Se estiveres "eggy", significa que estás stressado, se estiveres "chonged", estás cansado. 
When asked how you are "hanging", you are being asked about how you arefeeling. The correct reply would be either "high"(happy) or "low"(sad). If you have had a good time, then you are "bonkers" and your day will have been "buzzing" or "dogs"! (excellent).
Quando lhe perguntam como está "hanging", estão a perguntar-lhe como se sente. A resposta correcta seria "high" (feliz) ou "low" (triste). Se se divertiu, então está "bonkers" e o seu dia terá sido "buzzing" ou "dogs"! (excelente).
Some words, such as "bogging"(horrible), "boyf"(boyfriend) and "top banana"(excellent) that were popular last year, are already out favour.
Algumas palavras, tais como "bogging" (horrível), "boyf" (namorado) e "top banana" (excelente), que foram populares no ano passado, já estão fora de moda.

A NEW PARK THEME: GLUT

Welcome to troubleland. With seven large parks on the ground and more on the way, industry analysts are issuing dire warnings: “Orlando is now a zero-sum game”, says a media analyst. The theme-park glut promises a brutal shakeout that could pound the earnings of park owners Disney, Seagram (Universal) and Anheuser-Busch (Busch Gardens, Sea World).

Disney alone has built at least one park every decade since the Magic Kingdom appeared in 1971. Last year the company not only opened the gates to Animal Kingdom (reported cost: 
$800 million) but also launched the Disney Magic ($350 million), its first cruise ship in Florida. A second ship, the Disney Wonder, is on its way.

Analysts see so little economic rationale for these expenditures that they've begun to label the ships “Tragic” and “Blunder”. Disney has enough land in central Florida to add three more parks. Indeed there are rumors that a sports-themed park is on the drawing board.

Determined to loosen Disney's choke on hold area tourism, Seagram's Universal division bought an additional 770 hectares. That's enough for two more parks. Anheuser-Busch's Sea World, the third big player in central Florida, is adding a splashy new park in which visitors will be able to swim with the residents. That interactive attraction is scheduled to open next year.

The “can-you-top-this?” mentality has not only raised the ante for thrill rides but also driven up the cost of construction. Finding workers to operate the parks is another headache. Disney, Universal and Sea World have had to raise their starting hourly pay to more than $6 an hour (the U.S. minimum is $5.15) to attract and retain employees.

This building boom is happening just when consumer demand for theme parks is softening. The economic slump overseas slashed tourism to Orlando. But experts wonder whether the whole theme-park business is maturing, as the children of U.S. baby boomers get older and hence reduce the number of repeat trips. “I just don't think it makes a lot of sense to build more parks in Orlando”, says a media analyst.

“They've reached the saturation point, and profits are going to come down.”

So will prices. The typical family spends about five days and more than $1000 in Orlando's parks. It's nearly impossible to see everything. As a result, every park is feverishly baiting tourists away from rivals. If you've ever had to spend an ungodly amount of money to wait two hours for a six-minute ride, this may be your chance to get even.
