❑ TRADUÇÃO-TEXTO:

Until the 1960's, team sports were not played on a global scale. In Europe, people ______ European games, and in North America we played American games. The only real "global" sports ______ individual sports, such as golf and tennis.

Até a década de 1960, esportes de equipe não eram praticados em escala global. Na Europa, as pessoas ______ jogos europeus, e na América do Norte, jogávamos jogos americanos. Os únicos esportes "globais" reais ______ esportes individuais, como golfe e tênis.

At that time, rich Americans could travel to Europe on holiday, and play these two games; but whole teams of sportsmen did not often travel around the world, it was too complicated and slow!

Naquela época, os americanos ricos podiam viajar para a Europa nas férias e jogar esses dois jogos; mas equipes inteiras de esportistas não costumavam viajar pelo mundo, era muito complicado e lento!   

The first worldwide sports competition was the Olympic Games; but originally the Olympics were only concerned with athletics; they did not include the wide variety of sports that they now cover.

A primeira competição esportiva mundial foram os Jogos Olímpicos; mas originalmente as Olimpíadas se preocupavam apenas com o atletismo; elas não incluíam a grande variedade de esportes que abrangem hoje.
So as far as team sports are concerned, America has grown up with its own tradition; we love our "football" and our baseball and our basketball. We don't mind if these sports are not popular in other countries. That way, we can organise the “World Series” baseball championship, knowing that a US team will almost always win.

Então, no que diz respeito aos esportes de equipe, a América cresceu com sua própria tradição; nós amamos nosso "futebol", nosso beisebol e nosso basquete. Não nos importamos se esses esportes não são populares em outros países. Dessa forma, podemos organizar o campeonato de beisebol "World Series", sabendo que um time dos EUA quase sempre vencerá.

Embora a doença para a qual Lubitz procurou tratamento não tenha sido revelada, o fato de ele ter sido declarado inapto para o trabalho é um detalhe importante, dizem analistas de aviação.

❑ TRADUÇÃO:

Germanwings and its parent company, Lufthansa, are still reeling from the disaster. Senior managers are facing a

barrage of questions about Lubitz and the company's policies.

Lubitz passed his annual pilot recertification medical examination in summer 2014, a German aviation source told CNN. An official with Lufthansa said that the exam only tests physical health, not psychological health. The company was never given any indication Lubitz was depressed, the official said, and if he went to a doctor on his own he would have been required to self-report if he had been deemed unfit to fly.

The company has already changed its rules following the crash to ensure that two crew members are in the cockpit at all times. Many other airlines have taken similar steps or been advised by authorities to do so.

More and more information is coming to light about the lives of the passengers and crew members on Flight 9525. They include Iranian sports journalists who had been working at covering a big Spanish soccer game between Barcelona and Real Madrid; a group of young students from a German town who were returning from a school trip; two successful German opera singers who had performed at a Barcelona theater; and an American mother and daughter from Virginia.

Most of the people on the flight were from Germany or Spain, officials have said. Searchers at the mountainside crash site are continuing with their precarious mission to recover the remains of the dead.

❑ TRADUÇÃO:

Radiotelephone communications lack the facial cues, body language, and listening cues found in usual faceto-face situations. Communications without such cues are considered to be more difficult and challenging, requiring a higher degree of language proficiency, than face-to-face interactions. In addition, other features of radiotelephone communications make it a unique kind of communicative event, for example:

- The sound quality may be poor, with distracting sounds.

- The communicative workload of the air traffic controller or a pilot may be heavy, with a corresponding need for efficiency and brevity.
- In addition to their communicative tasks, pilots must also attend to all of the tasks involved in operating their aircraft.
