❑ TRADUĂĂO - TEXTO 1:
All things bright and beautiful, Todas as coisas brilhantes e bonitas,
All creatures great and small, Todas as criaturas grandes e pequenas,
All things wise and wonderful, Todas as coisas sĂĄbias e maravilhosas,
The Lord God made them all. O Senhor Deus fez todos elas.
Each little flower that opens, Cada florzinha que se abre,
Each little bird that sings, Cada passarinho que canta,
He made their glowing colours, Ele fez suas cores brilhantes,
He made their tiny wings. Ele fez suas pequenas asas.
He gave us eyes to see them, Ele nos deu olhos para vĂȘ-los,
And lips that we might tell, E lĂĄbios que poderĂamos contar,
How great is God Almighty, QuĂŁo grande Ă© o Deus Todo-Poderoso,
Who has made all things well. Quem fez todas as coisas bem.
por Cecil F. Alexander

High Marks for Clean Water
Ăgua potĂĄvel com nota mĂĄxima
Retrieve a discarded water bottle. Apanhe uma garrafa de ĂĄgua descartada.
Tear off the label and fill
it with any water that’s not too murky from a creek, standpipe or a
puddle. Rasgue o rótulo e encha-o com ågua que não seja muito turva de um riacho, cano ou um poço.
Place the bottle on a piece of metal in full sun. Coloque a garrafa sobre um pedaço de metal em pleno sol.
In six hours
the UVA radiation will kill viruses, bacteria and parasites in the water,
making it safe to drink. Em seis horas, a radiação UVA matarĂĄ vĂrus, bactĂ©rias e parasitas na ĂĄgua, tornando-a segura para beber.
SODIS, the acronym for this Swiss - pioneered water -
disinfection program, is now being used all over the world to provide
drinking water for some four million people. SODIS, a sigla para este programa pioneiro de desinfecção de ĂĄgua na SuĂça, estĂĄ agora sendo usado em todo o mundo para fornecer ĂĄgua potĂĄvel para cerca de quatro milhĂ”es de pessoas.
“It’s simple, it’s free, and
it’s effective,” says Ibelatha Mhelela, principal of the Ndolela Primary
School in Tanzania. “Ă simples, gratuito e eficaz”, afirma Ibelatha Mhelela, diretora da Escola PrimĂĄria Ndolela, na TanzĂąnia.
In 2006 her school started using SODIS to
disinfect its contaminated tap water, placing bottles on the building’s
corrugated metal roof. Em 2006, a escola dela começou a usar o SODIS para desinfectar a ågua contaminada da torneira, colocando garrafas no telhado de metal corrugado do prédio.
The result? Absenteeism due to diarrhea has
dropped considerably, and examination scores soared. O resultado? O absentismo devido Ă diarreia diminuiu consideravelmente e os resultados das provas dispararam.
“Before we
started SODIS, only ten to fifteen percent of the children passed the
national sixth grade exams,” says Mhelela, “Now ninety to ninety -
five percent of the students pass.” “Antes de começarmos o SODIS, apenas dez a quinze por cento das crianças passavam nas provas nacionais da sexta sĂ©rie”, diz Mhelela, “Agora noventa a noventa e cinco por cento dos alunos passam.”

❑ TEXTO C:
And man made life
To create life is a prerogative of gods [....] It may come as a shock, then, that mere mortals have now made artificial life. Craig Venter and Hamilton Smith, the two American biologists who unraveled the first DNA sequence of a living organism (a bacterium) in 1995, have made a bacterium that has an artificial genome - creating a living creature with no ancestor [….] It is now possible to conceive of a world in which new bacteria (and eventually, new animals and plants) are designed on a computer and then grown to order. That ability would prove mankind’s mastery over nature in a way more profound than even the detonation of the first atomic bomb. The bomb, however justified in the context of the second world war, was purely destructive. Biology is about nurturing and growth. Synthetic biology, as the technology that this and myriad less eye-catching advances are ushering in has been dubbed, promises much. In the short term it promises better drugs, less thirsty crops, greener fuels and even a rejuvenated chemical industry. In the longer term who knows what marvels could be designed and grown? On the face of it, then, artificial life looks like a wonderful thing. Yet that is not how many will view the announcement. For them, a better word than “creation” is “tampering”. Have scientists got too big for their boots? Will their hubris bring Nemesis in due course? What horrors will come creeping out of the flask on the laboratory bench?
Such questions are not misplaced - and should give pause even to those […] who normally embrace advances in science with enthusiasm. The new biological science does have the potential to do great harm, as well as good. “Predator” and “disease” are just as much part of the biological vocabulary as “nurturing” and “growth”. But for good or ill it is here. Creating life is no longer the prerogative of gods.
(The Economist, May 22nd, 2010)
❑ TRADUĂĂO - TEXTO C:
And man made life
E o homem criou a vida
To create life is a prerogative of gods [....] Criar vida Ă© uma prerrogativa dos deuses.
It may come as a shock, then, that mere mortals have now made artificial life. Por isso, pode ser um choque o fato de meros mortais terem agora criado vida artificial.
Craig Venter and Hamilton Smith, the two American biologists who unraveled the first DNA sequence of a living organism (a bacterium) in 1995, have made a bacterium that has an artificial genome - creating a living creature with no ancestor [….] Craig Venter e Hamilton Smith, os dois biĂłlogos americanos que desvendaram a primeira sequĂȘncia de ADN de um organismo vivo (uma bactĂ©ria) em 1995, criaram uma bactĂ©ria com um genoma artificial - criando uma criatura viva sem antepassados.
It is now possible to conceive of a world in which new bacteria (and eventually, new animals and plants) are designed on a computer and then grown to order. Ă agora possĂvel conceber um mundo em que novas bactĂ©rias (e, eventualmente, novos animais e plantas) sĂŁo concebidas num computador e depois cultivadas por encomenda.
That ability would prove mankind’s mastery over nature in a way more profound than even the detonation of the first atomic bomb. Essa capacidade provaria o domĂnio da humanidade sobre a natureza de uma forma mais profunda do que mesmo a detonação da primeira bomba atĂŽmica.
The bomb, however justified in the context of the second world war, was purely destructive. A bomba, embora justificada no contexto da segunda guerra mundial, era puramente destrutiva.
Biology is about nurturing and growth. A biologia tem a ver com nutrição e crescimento.
Synthetic biology, as the technology that this and myriad less eye-catching advances are ushering in has been dubbed, promises much. A biologia sintĂ©tica, como tem sido apelidada a tecnologia que estĂĄ a dar origem a este e a uma mirĂade de avanços menos apelativos, promete muito.
In the short term it promises better drugs, less thirsty crops, greener fuels and even a rejuvenated chemical industry. A curto prazo, promete melhores medicamentos, colheitas menos sedentas, combustĂveis mais ecolĂłgicos e atĂ© uma indĂșstria quĂmica rejuvenescida.
In the longer term who knows what marvels could be designed and grown? A longo prazo, quem sabe que maravilhas poderĂŁo ser concebidas e cultivadas?
On the face of it, then, artificial life looks like a wonderful thing. Ă primeira vista, a vida artificial parece ser uma coisa maravilhosa.
Yet that is not how many will view the announcement. No entanto, nĂŁo Ă© assim que muitos vĂŁo encarar o anĂșncio.
For them, a better word than “creation” is “tampering”. Para eles, uma palavra melhor do que "criação" Ă© "adulteração".
Have scientists got too big for their boots? SerĂĄ que os cientistas se tornaram demasiado grandes para as suas botas?
Will their hubris bring Nemesis in due course? SerĂĄ que a sua arrogĂąncia trarĂĄ a Nemesis a seu tempo?
What horrors will come creeping out of the flask on the laboratory bench? Que horrores sairĂŁo do frasco na bancada do laboratĂłrio?
Such questions are not misplaced - and should give pause even to those […] who normally embrace advances in science with enthusiasm. Estas questĂ”es nĂŁo sĂŁo descabidas - e devem fazer parar mesmo aqueles [...] que normalmente abraçam os avanços da ciĂȘncia com entusiasmo.
The new biological science does have the potential to do great harm, as well as good. A nova ciĂȘncia biolĂłgica tem, de facto, o potencial de causar grandes danos, bem como benefĂcios.
“Predator” and “disease” are just as much part of the biological vocabulary as “nurturing” and “growth”. "Predador" e "doença" fazem tanto parte do vocabulĂĄrio biolĂłgico como "nutrição" e "crescimento".
But for good or ill it is here. Mas, para o bem ou para o mal, estĂĄ aqui.
Creating life is no longer the prerogative of gods. Criar vida jĂĄ nĂŁo Ă© uma prerrogativa dos deuses.
