peaceful interactions Explanation: This is a strange word in this context, but given the grammar problems in the rest of the sentence, it is probably due to an affectation on the part of the writer. The sentence would then be: "Commerce is responsible for peaceful interactions with urban centers from Monday to Sunday." |

contact among people Explanation: It is business that creates contact among people from Monday through Sunday in city centers. or "Business creates contact among people etc." or "Business makes city centers people friendly from Monday through Sunday." or "Business breathes life into city centers Monday through Sunday. Depends of discourse of message: who is the text designed for, who is the audience/recipient? Good luck! |

Trade humanizes cities all week long. Explanation: Business or trade (either) is responsible for the humanization of = humanizes centros urbanos = cities Monday to Sunday = all week long. Agreed that there are typos in the Portuguese as cited. Also agree with the thrust of other recommendations. The issue is to what extent you want to make the English sound overblown, as a more literal translation would. |
