Quando eu trabalhava como tradutora em uma grande empresa de seminários e recursos humanos no Brasil, o presidente norte-americano costumava dizer a cada notícia boa: “I am excited! These are exciting news!”
Um estudante de inglês desavisado poderia ficar chocado com esse “Formidável! Ótimas notícias”.
Brasileiros já foram apresentados na Venezuela como “aquele pessoal que come abacate com açúcar”!
Em Londres, uma brasileira resolveu incrementar o churrasco caseiro com alguns espetos de coração de frango. Foi um escândalo! Os ingleses ficaram chocados ao ver alguém comer coração de galinha!
Pois é: choque cultural é isso!

FIVE THOUSAND WORDS
(Lyrics and music © by Sharon Neeman)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9KbQyrxSIo
The clock showed close to quitting time;
my desk was almost clear;
I thought perhaps I'd slip
around the corner for a beer -
But the phone rang - and I answered -
and a friendly voice said "Hi!"
It was the secretary of a legal firm nearby.
She said "Oh, please excuse me
But the phone rang - and I answered -
and a friendly voice said "Hi!"
It was the secretary of a legal firm nearby.
She said "Oh, please excuse me
for calling this late in the day,
But we have a new petition
But we have a new petition
in a case that's under way;
Can you translate it by tomorrow?
Any time by five will do -
'Cause we wouldn't want to give the work
Can you translate it by tomorrow?
Any time by five will do -
'Cause we wouldn't want to give the work
to anyone but you:
It's: only: Five thousand words
It's: only: Five thousand words
for tomorrow at five;
I thought "I'll do that easily;
I'll scarcely have to strive,
" So I smiled and said
I thought "I'll do that easily;
I'll scarcely have to strive,
" So I smiled and said
"No problem;
I'll just add it to my bill,
And you'll send a check on Friday?"
And she said "You know we will."
I set to work at eight AM;
And you'll send a check on Friday?"
And she said "You know we will."
I set to work at eight AM;
I cut my lunch date short;
By five the stuff was ready
By five the stuff was ready
to be filed before the Court;
I sent it off by email and
I sent it off by email and
I poured a cup of tea -
And the phone rang -
And the phone rang -
and I answered -
and a lawyer asked from me:
and a lawyer asked from me:
"I've just leafed through your translation,
and I think it's very good,
And I'd like you to translate an affidavit,
And I'd like you to translate an affidavit,
if you could;
It's the size of that petition -
It's the size of that petition -
well, perhaps a little more -
And you know that I'd be grateful if
And you know that I'd be grateful if
you'd have it in by four;
It's: only: Six thousand words
It's: only: Six thousand words
for tomorrow at four;"
I thought "I'll get up early;
I thought "I'll get up early;
I've a longish day in store,"
And I shrugged and said
And I shrugged and said
"No problem;
I'll just add it to my bill
And you'll send a check on Friday?"
And he said "You know we will."
I'll just add it to my bill
And you'll send a check on Friday?"
And he said "You know we will."
I hit the desk at seven and
I ate my lunch alone;
I never touched the Solitaire or
I never touched the Solitaire or
gossiped on the phone;
At four o'clock I sent it off and
At four o'clock I sent it off and
shook my weary head -
And the phone rang -
And the phone rang -
and I answered -
and the junior partner said:
"I really have to thank you
and the junior partner said:
"I really have to thank you
for a job superbly done,
And I'm sure you'll be delighted,
And I'm sure you'll be delighted,
'cause we've got another one:
I've just finished my summation,
I've just finished my summation,
and you know how glad I'd be
If your excellent translation
could be on my desk by three:
It's: only: Eight thousand words
It's: only: Eight thousand words
for tomorrow at three;"
I thought, "It won't be easy:
I thought, "It won't be easy:
but I'll have the evening free,"
So I sighed and said
So I sighed and said
"No problem; I'll just add it to my bill,
And you'll send a check on Friday?"
And she said "You know we will."
I started at five-thirty,
And she said "You know we will."
I started at five-thirty,
and my lunch was just a snack;
At three I typed the last few words
At three I typed the last few words
and sent the email back;
I flexed my aching fingers
I flexed my aching fingers
and I silently rejoiced -
And the phone rang - and I answered -
and the senior partner's voice said:
"You really are a wonder,
And the phone rang - and I answered -
and the senior partner's voice said:
"You really are a wonder,
and your talents are unique -
In fact, that's why
In fact, that's why
we've kept you very busy all this week;
Now, I know that it's short notice,
Now, I know that it's short notice,
but I have to count on you -
For the Judge needs my rebuttal
to be on her desk at two:
It's: only: Ten thousand words
It's: only: Ten thousand words
for tomorrow at two;"
I thought, "How can I tell him that
I thought, "How can I tell him that
it's just too much to do?"
But I groaned and said
"No problem; I'll just add it to my bill,
And you'll send a check on Friday?"
And he said "You know we will."
I staggered in at four AM;
And he said "You know we will."
I staggered in at four AM;
I never ate a bite;
But I got it done by two,
But I got it done by two,
although it was a trifle tight;
I was dizzy, I was queasy,
I was dizzy, I was queasy,
and I thought I'd never budge -
But the phone rang - and I answered -
and by God, it was the Judge!
She said, "I know you're tired,
But the phone rang - and I answered -
and by God, it was the Judge!
She said, "I know you're tired,
and I really hate to ask,
But there's no one in the city
But there's no one in the city
that can do this one last task:
For I've handed down my ruling,"
For I've handed down my ruling,"
and she gave a modest cough, "
And at one PM tomorrow,
And at one PM tomorrow,
the courier takes off:
It's: only: Twelve thousand words
It's: only: Twelve thousand words
for tomorrow at one;
" My mind screamed "No, Your Honor!
There are things that can't be done!"
But the words came out "No problem;
I'll just add it to my bill"
And it's been four months since Friday,
and the bastards owe me still!
" My mind screamed "No, Your Honor!
There are things that can't be done!"
But the words came out "No problem;
I'll just add it to my bill"
And it's been four months since Friday,
and the bastards owe me still!
