rent-a-cop

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: rent-a-cop Portuguese translation: segurança Entered by: Alexandre Reis

23:25 Feb 17, 2009

English to Portuguese translations [PRO] Human Resources
English term or phrase: rent-a-cop Qual é o termo correspondente a "rent-a-cop"? Zeringue had lived, that a new rent-a-cop - a glum, somewhat toadlike gent named Scramuzza, wearing the uniform and shoulder patch of the Junkyard Dog Protective Service - reluctantly counted his trailers, and came up with one extra. " Now how the hell that got in here? " he demanded. Fournet might have said something about fishermen who like to return to spots where they've had a bite before, but instead decided to get rid of the guard.

polícia de aluguer Explanation: "rent-a-cop" é um termo pejorativo que designa um segurança contratado, vigilante noturno, etc. Já vi esta tradução várias vezes, e para mim é a mais adequada, pois pelos vistos trata-se de um texto literário.	José Henrique Moreira Portugal Local time: 01:43 Native speaker of: Portuguese
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) agree  Mike (de Oliveira) Brady: Sim. Não sei, "cop" pode ser "cana"? 9 hrs   -> "cop" pode ser "chui", "bófia", etc. "cana", normalmente é a cadeia, como em: "ir de cana"... neutral  Floriana Leary: este termo pode ser confundido com um policia (GNR ou PSP) que são contratados para fazer gratificados, e estes são mesmo polícias dos quais um 'rent a cop' não é. 10 hrs   -> SIm, se calhar tem razão, Floriana... Mas tb não optaria simplesmente por "segurança"... perde o tom trocista do original... Mas enfim, não tem grande importância! Uma boa noite!

truta/cana-de-aluguer Explanation: Concordo com o José Henrique Moreira: "rent-a-cop" é um termo pejorativo. Talvez um gíria pode ser utilizado.
