- HAGAR:
- Good for you!
- Bom para você!
- HAGAR:
- If you love me, you'll marry him!
- Se você me ama, você casará com ele!
01 – According to the comic strip, it is possible to infer that:
(A) Hagar comes to terms with his daughter.
(B) Hagar's daughter takes love for granted.(C) Hagar proved to be a greedy man.
(D) Hagar's daughter is afraid of being left on the shelf.

• Gabarito C
According to the comic strip, it is possible to infer that:
De acordo com a tirinha, é possível inferir que:
(A) Hagar comes to terms with his daughter.
>> INCORRETA: Hagar chega a um acordo com sua filha.
- Não há um consenso na história: a filha é motivada por amor e o pai é motivado por dinheiro.
(B) Hagar's daughter takes love for granted.
>>INCORRETA: A filha de Hagar não valoriza o amor.
- A filha de Hagar é motivada por amor e não é por dinheiro, caso contrário, ela teria aceitada a proposta de casamento.
(1) A conjunção coordenativa de contraste BUT expressa um contra-ponto ao foi dito anteriormente:
- SENTENÇA 1: the richest prince in the known world proposed to me. (PROPOSTA DE CASAMENTO)
- SENTENÇA 2: But I will only marry for love! (IDEIA DE CASAMENTO SÓ SE FOR POR AMOR)
(2) Uso da expressão idiomática "TAKE LOVE FOR GRANTED", no sentido contextual de "NÃO VALORIZAR O AMOR, DESPREZAR O AMOR".
- "TAKE SOMETHING FOR GRANTED" - to believe something to be the truth without even thinking about it. (Cambridge Dictionary)
- "TAKE SOMETHING FOR GRANTED" é uma expressão que não encontra uma perfeita tradução em português, porque assume diferentes sentidos dependendo dos seus usos.
- Poderíamos traduzir como algo entre “assumir que” e “não dar o devido valor”.
- One of the problems with relationships is that after a while you just take each other for granted. (Cambridge Dictionary)
- Um dos problemas dos relacionamentos é que, depois de um tempo, vocês simplesmente não dão valor um ao outro.
(C) Hagar proved to be a greedy man.
>>CORRETA: Hagar provou ser um homem ganancioso.
- Em "If you love me, you'll marry him!", Hagar sugeriu que pelo o amor que filha tem por ele, ela deveria se casar com o príncipe extremamente rico.
(D) Hagar's daughter is afraid of being left on the shelf. (A filha de Hagar tem medo de ser deixada na prateleira, tem medo de ficar solterona.)
>>INCORRETA: A filha de Hagar tem medo de ser deixada na prateleira, tem medo de ficar solterona.
- Infere-se que: Se ela tivesse medo de ficar solteirona, ela teria aceitada a proposta de casamento do príncipe.
(E) Hagar's daughter is highly delighted with the proposal.
>>INCORRETA: A filha de Hagar está muito satisfeita com a proposta.
- Infere-se que: se ela estivesse satisfeita, ela teria aceitada a proposta de casamento do príncipe.

Como está o tempo?
Of all human activities, transport is probably one of the most influenced by the weather.De todas as atividades humanas, o transporte é provavelmente uma das mais influenciadas pelas condições meteorológicas.
From deciding wheather or not to go for a walk in the park to cancelling or delaying intercontinental passenger flights, the weather influences our movements all the time.
Desde a decisão de dar ou não um passeio no parque até ao cancelamento ou atraso de voos intercontinentais de passageiros, as condições meteorológicas influenciam os nossos movimentos a toda a hora.
Extreme weather conditions can cause accidents, death and destruction.
Condições climáticas extremas podem causar acidentes, morte e destruição.
So, predicting the weather is a priority when people and goods are moved from one place to another.
Portanto, prever o tempo é uma prioridade quando pessoas e mercadorias são deslocadas de um lugar para outro.
Today man has developed some very sophisticated means for predicting the weather, but despite this, our predictions are not always accurate because weather conditions can change very suddenly.
Hoje o homem desenvolveu alguns meios muito sofisticados para prever o tempo, mas, apesar disso, nossas previsões nem sempre são precisas porque as condições meteorológicas podem mudar repentinamente.

Language, brain and disability
Linguagem, cérebro e deficiência
Vem sido frequentemente observado que chegamos a apreciar a complexidade e função únicas da linguagem apenas quando ela começa a dar errado.
This happens daily in many small ways - when we detect ambiguity, express ourselves incoherently, or speak at cross-purposes.
Isto acontece diariamente de muitas formas pequenas - quando detectamos ambiguidade, nos exprimimos de forma incoerente ou falamos de forma contraditória.
Less commonly, it happens in _____ dramatic and devastating manner, in _____ form of language disability.
Menos frequentemente, acontece de uma forma dramática e devastadora, sob a forma de deficiência linguística.
Those who find it difficult or impossible to communicate, on account of some physical, psychological, or other disability, face _____ frustrating, isolated, and uncertain future, in which their disability is often not recognized, and community support services may be inaccessible or absent.
As pessoas com dificuldade ou impossibilidade de comunicar, devido a uma deficiência física, psicológica ou outra, enfrentam um futuro frustrante, isolado e incerto, em que a sua deficiência não é frequentemente reconhecida e os serviços de apoio da comunidade podem ser inacessíveis ou inexistentes.
Drawing attention to ______ existence and extent of language disability is thus _____important role for any encyclopedia of language.
Chamar a atenção para a existência e a extensão da deficiência linguística é, portanto, um papel importante para qualquer enciclopédia da linguagem.

The Radar
Radar
The word RADAR stands for Radio Detection and Ranging.A palavra RADAR significa Radio Detection and Ranging (Detecção e Medição por Rádio).
It is a technology which was properly used for the first time during the Second World War by the allied troops against the Germans.
Trata-se de uma tecnologia que foi corretamente utilizada pela primeira vez durante a 2ª Guerra Mundial pelas tropas aliadas contra os alemães.
Basically, a radar is an anti-collision tool and can measure the bearing and the distance of a selected target.
Basicamente, um radar é uma ferramenta anti-colisão e pode medir o rumo e a distância de um alvo selecionado.
It is therefore a vital aid on ships and airplanes, especially in case of low or blind-visibility navigation.
É, portanto, uma ajuda vital em navios e aviões, especialmente em caso de navegação com pouca ou nenhuma visibilidade.
To detect a target’s position, the radar dish or antenna sends out pulses of electromagnetic waves.
Para detectar a posição de um alvo, o prato de radar ou antena envia pulsos de ondas eletromagnéticas.
When these waves hit the target their echo is returned to the aerial and transformed into visual signals shown on a screen called PPI (Plan Position Indicator) or display.
Quando essas ondas atingem o alvo, seu eco é devolvido à antena e transformado em sinais visuais mostrados em uma tela chamada PPI (Plan Position Indicator) ou display.
The capacity of the antenna to concentrate the irradiation energy in the dish is called gain.
A capacidade da antena para concentrar a energia de irradiação na antena é chamada de "ganho".
The whole process is based on the principle that radio waves bounce off solid surfaces.
Todo o processo se baseia no princípio de que as ondas de rádio rebatem[ricocheteiam] em superfícies sólidas.
It is therefore possible to determine the bearings and distances of far away targets and deduce infonnation about potential hazards.
Assim, é possível determinar as orientações e as distâncias de alvos distantes e deduzir informações sobre potenciais perigos.
The Radar can also be used to find out the position of a ship at sea, but only in the case in which a fix (a fixed point of reference on the land) is available.
O Radar também pode ser utilizado para determinar a posição de um navio no mar, mas apenas no caso de se dispor de um ponto fixo (um ponto de referência fixo em terra).
For this, other more precise, handy and faster tools, like the GPS, are used.
Para tal, são utilizadas outras ferramentas mais precisas, práticas e rápidas, como o GPS.

Russian jet intercepts US Navy plane
Jato russo intercepta avião da Marinha dos EUA
A Russian Su-27 fighter jet performed an "unprofessional" intercept of a US Navy P-8 surveillance plane while it was flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea Tuesday, two defense officials told CNN.Um caça russo Su-27 interceptou de forma "pouco profissional" um avião de vigilância P-8 da Marinha dos Estados Unidos, quando este voava no espaço aéreo internacional sobre o Mar Báltico, disseram dois oficiais da defesa à CNN.
The Russian jet came within about 20 feet of the US aircraft, one official said, adding that the encounter lasted about nine minutes.
O jato russo aproximou-se cerca de 6 metros do avião americano, disse um dos oficiais, acrescentando que o encontro durou cerca de nove minutos.
The intercept was described by officials as safe but unprofessional, though a US Navy official told CNN that the Navy does not officially classify aerial encounters that way. The Navy classifies aviation intercepts simply as either safe or unsafe.
A interceptação foi descrita pelos oficiais como segura mas pouco profissional, embora um oficial da Marinha dos EUA tenha dito à CNN que a Marinha não classifica oficialmente os encontros aéreos dessa forma. A Marinha classifica as interceptações aéreas simplesmente como seguras ou inseguras.
Lt. Cdr. Zach Harrell, a spokesman for US Naval Forces Europe, declined to comment on the specific incident, saying, "US Navy ships and aircraft routinely interact with military units from other countries.". He added that the Navy would provide information on unsafe interactions.
O tenente-coronel Zach Harrell, porta-voz das Forças Navais dos EUA na Europa, recusou-se a comentar o incidente específico, afirmando que "os navios e aviões da Marinha dos EUA interagem habitualmente com unidades militares de outros países". Acrescentou ainda que a Marinha forneceria informações sobre interceptações inseguras.
The last unsafe intercept of a US Navy aircraft by a Russian jet occurred in January when a Russian Su-27 jet flew within five feet of a US Navy EP-3, forcing the Navy plane to fly through its jet wash. The US Navy deemed that intercept unsafe and unprofessional.
A última interceptação insegura de um avião da Marinha dos EUA por um jato russo ocorreu em janeiro, quando um Su-27 russo voou a menos de cinco metros de um EP-3 da Marinha dos EUA, forçando o avião da Marinha a voar através do seu jato de lavagem. A Marinha dos EUA considerou essa interceptação insegura e pouco profissional.
Following that incident, the US State Department issued a statement accusing the Russians of "flagrantly violating existing agreements and international law."
Na sequência desse incidente, o Departamento de Estado dos EUA emitiu uma declaração acusando os russos de "violarem de forma flagrante os acordos existentes e o direito internacional".

The female voice.
A voz feminina.
The vast majority of projects in speech synthesis have used male voices.
A grande maioria dos projetos de síntese de fala tem usado vozes masculinas.
The early synthesizers of the 1980s were very limited in the kind of speech they could cope with.
Os primeiros sintetizadores da década de 1980 eram muito limitados no tipo de fala que podiam suportar.
The Haskins Laboratories Pattern Playback, for example, could only produce a fundamental frequency of 120Hz.
O Haskins Laboratories Pattern Playback, por exemplo, só poderia produzir uma frequência fundamental de 120 Hz.
Moreover, very little information was available on the acoustics of female speech.
Além disso, havia muito pouca informação disponível sobre a acústica da fala feminina.
Although several efforts were made to produce female-sounding speech, none of them was convincing.
Embora vários esforços tenham sido feitos para produzir uma fala com som feminino, nenhum deles foi convincente.
However, since the 1980s, the use of more sophisticated acoustic analyses and equipment has led to the synthesis of several utterances with an acceptable female quality.
No entanto, desde os anos 80, a utilização de análises acústicas e de equipamentos mais sofisticados permitiu a síntese de vários enunciados com uma qualidade feminina aceitável.
