  -> glad you can interpret
disagree  Donna Sandin: I think this is a little too specific if you AS TRANSLATOR are not entirely sure of the situation - does the writer want to come right out and say "we're not sleeping together?" Or worse?

  -> If you're not entirely sure, how can you disagree? If it's the case, it's the perfect translation. Read the text and interpret it. "como as pessoas pensam" Without the proper context, who is to disagree?
