Burglar caught by clever cartoonist
LadrĂŁo Ă© pego por cartunista esperto
William Ellis Green, 82, was making his breakfast
when he heard somebody in his garden. “I went out the
back door, and suddenly I saw this guy running toward
me.
William Ellis Green, 82 anos, estava preparando seu cafĂ© da manhĂŁ quando ouviu alguĂ©m em seu jardim. “SaĂ pela porta dos fundos e de repente vi um cara correndo em minha direção.
He pushed me out of the way and took my bicycle from the garden shed.” Mr. Green did not resist, as he
knew he would end up second-best in a fight with the
intruder.
Ele me empurrou para fora do caminho e pegou minha bicicleta no galpĂŁo do jardim.” Green nĂŁo resistiu, pois sabia que acabaria em segundo lugar na briga com o intruso.
The burglar tried to cycle away, but the tires on
the bike were flat, making it difficult to ride. “He kept
falling off the bicycle,” said Mr. Green, “at least three or four times.” After the man fled, Mr. Green called the local
police.
When they arrived, officers asked him to describe
the man, but instead he offered to draw them a picture.
O ladrĂŁo tentou fugir de bicicleta, mas os pneus da bicicleta estavam furados, dificultando a condução. “Ele continuou caindo da bicicleta”, disse Green, “pelo menos trĂȘs ou quatro vezes”. Depois que o homem fugiu, o Sr. Green chamou a polĂcia local. Quando chegaram, os policiais pediram-lhe que descrevesse o homem, mas em vez disso ele se ofereceu para fazer um desenho para eles.
“When Mr. Green started drawing,” said one of the police
15 officers, “I knew right away who the burglar was.” Actually,
Mr. Green had worked for more than 20 years in daily
newspapers doing caricatures of Australian soccer
players. “I had no difficulty in remembering the man’s
face because he was so close to me,” he said.
“Quando o Sr. Green começou a desenhar”, disse um dos policiais, “eu soube imediatamente quem era o ladrĂŁo”. Na verdade, Green trabalhou por mais de 20 anos em jornais diĂĄrios fazendo caricaturas de jogadores de futebol australianos. “NĂŁo tive dificuldade em lembrar o rosto do homem porque ele estava muito perto de mim”, disse ele.
Police cruised the neighborhood in a patrol car with
the sketch in search of the alleged burglar and found
him within half an hour. “The cartoon was a perfect
likeness of the burglar,” said another police officer.
A polĂcia percorreu o bairro em uma viatura com o desenho em busca do suposto ladrĂŁo e o encontrou em meia hora. “O desenho era uma semelhança perfeita do ladrĂŁo”, disse outro policial.
The police believe that this is the first time they have ever caught a suspect by using a cartoon sketch.
Phil Rushford, a senior police officer, said that in the
past some victims had used their cell phones to take
photographs at crime scenes, but they had not been as
effective.
A polĂcia acredita que esta Ă© a primeira vez que prende um suspeito usando um desenho animado. Phil Rushford, um oficial sĂȘnior da polĂcia, disse que no passado algumas vĂtimas usaram seus celulares para tirar fotos em cenas de crimes, mas nĂŁo foram tĂŁo eficazes.
A 34-year-old man is expected to be charged with
theft, burglary, and assault. The missing bike was later
found on a nearby street.
Um homem de 34 anos deve ser acusado de roubo, roubo e agressĂŁo. A bicicleta desaparecida foi encontrada posteriormente em uma rua prĂłxima.

to help companies that build electric cars.
O governo alemão aprovou mais dinheiro para ajudar empresas que constroem carros elétricos.
There are
only around 2,500 electric vehicles registered on German
roads at present.

The plan is to increase this figure to a
5 million by 2020.
O plano Ă© aumentar este nĂșmero para 5 milhĂ”es atĂ© 2020.
Germany plans to double financial aid, particularly
to develop better, lighter batteries, which remain the brake
on the technology’s mass appeal.
A Alemanha planeia duplicar a ajuda financeira, especialmente para desenvolver baterias melhores e mais leves, que continuam a ser o travĂŁo ao apelo de massa da tecnologia.

It now aims to change this, but attitudes may be hard to
change.
Pretende agora mudar esta situação, mas as atitudes podem ser difĂceis de mudar.
It is a country where ‘no speed limits on the
motorway’ is seen as sacrosanct.

And it is the country of the BMW (car), though the

to make its vehicles greener.
E Ă© o paĂs do BMW (automĂłvel), embora o fabricante de automĂłveis de luxo esteja agora a tentar desenvolver materiais mais leves para tornar os seus veĂculos mais ecolĂłgicos.

Japanese garbage island moves towards US
Ilha de lixo japonesa avança em direção aos EUA
The debris is floating towards the west coast of America Following the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami disasters, a massive amount of rubbish has washed into the
Pacific Ocean.
Os destroços estĂŁo flutuando em direção Ă costa oeste da AmĂ©rica ApĂłs os recentes desastres do terremoto e do tsunami no JapĂŁo, uma enorme quantidade de lixo foi lançada no Oceano PacĂfico.
The US Navy is watching the garbage with interest as it floats towards Hawaii and the west coast of the
United States.
Entire houses, bodies, car parts, tractors and many upturned boats have amassed off the east coast of Japan on an
5 epic scale.
A Marinha dos EUA observa com interesse o lixo enquanto ele flutua em direção ao Havaà e à costa oeste dos Estados Unidos. Casas inteiras, corpos, peças de automóveis, tratores e muitos barcos virados se acumularam na costa leste do Japão em uma escala épica de 5.
The floating objects have been declared a maritime danger by the American Navy, which warned they could
pierce the body of a boat, or destroy engines in the Pacific’s shipping lanes.
Os objetos flutuantes foram declarados um perigo marĂtimo pela Marinha americana, que alertou que poderiam perfurar o corpo de um barco ou destruir motores nas rotas marĂtimas do PacĂfico.
The island of debris of most concern, 110
kilometers long, is being closely monitored by the US Navy’s seventh fleet, as experts predict it could hit Hawaii’s shores
in two years and the American west coast a year later. Hawaiian scientists put it honestly.
A ilha de destroços mais preocupante, com 110 quilĂłmetros de comprimento, estĂĄ a ser monitorizada de perto pela sĂ©tima frota da Marinha dos EUA, jĂĄ que os especialistas prevĂȘem que poderĂĄ atingir a costa do Havai dentro de dois anos e a costa oeste americana um ano depois. Os cientistas havaianos sĂŁo sinceros.
They warned that a vast mass
that originated in a few moments of destruction in Japan, could eventually foul beaches and reefs off the Eastern North Pacific and kill marine life.
Eles alertaram que uma vasta massa que se originou em alguns momentos de destruição no JapĂŁo poderia eventualmente sujar praias e recifes ao largo do leste do PacĂfico Norte e matar a vida marinha.
The American Navy’s working with civilian construction companies from the earthquake-hit
