English to Portuguese: Megan's School Exams - A Sample of the First Chapter General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English First Chapter - The Pep Talk
Still, time ticked on, so she patted Grrr, who was lying beside her as ever, got up, showered, put on her school uniform and went downstairs to greet her parents and have breakfast.
“Good morning, how are you?” she said to anybody who was listening. Her father was reading the paper and her mother was frying something in the kitchen.
“Good morning, darling,” said her father, lowering the paper for a moment.
“Morning, Megan, here’s your breakfast. Did you sleep well?” asked her mother as she put two plates down, one for Megan and one for herself.
“Yes, thanks. And you?”
“Oh, like tops, as always. Your Dad and I always just fall fast asleep, as soon as our heads hit the pillow. You know what they say: ‘No sleep for the wicked!’ and that is not us, is it, Robert?... Robert!...”
“What’s that, my dear?”
“I said ‘No sleep for the wicked is there?’ and that is not us.”
“No, of course not, that is not us. Why, who can’t sleep now?”
“I'm not talking about anyone in particular, Robert, it was just a general observation.”
Translation - Portuguese Primeiro Capítulo - A Conversa Inspiradora
Ainda na cama, acariciou Grrr, acostumado a ficar deitada com ela, levantou, tomou banho, vestiu seu uniforme e desceu para dar um bom-dia aos seus pais e tomar o café da manhã.
– Bom dia. Tudo bem? Disse para qualquer um que a escutasse. Seu pai lia o jornal e sua mãe estava fritando alguma coisa na cozinha.
– Bom dia, querida. Disse seu pai, abaixando o jornal por um momento.
– Bom dia, Megan, aqui está seu café da manhã. Dormiu bem? Perguntou sua mãe que colocava dois pratos sobre a mesa, um para Megan e outro para si mesma.
– Sim, valeu. E você?
– Ah, dormi como uma pedra. Seu pai e eu sempre dormimos assim que encostamos no travesseiro. Você sabe o que dizem: “sem descanso para os malvados!”, e nós não somos malvados, não é, Robert?... Robert!...
– O que é, minha querida?
– Eu disse “sem descanso para os malvados”, e não somos malvados.
– Não, não somos, claro que não. Por quê? Quem é que não consegue dormir?
– Não estou falando de alguém em particular, Robert, foi apenas uma observação.
– Ah, entendo, querida, sim, bem lembrado.
English to Portuguese: Business Plan Sample General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English Mr Smith is confident that this relationship is very strong but as a safeguard the company is also looking at other suppliers in the Far East who have similar products and who would be cheaper to buy from. The technology is improving all the time and so other suppliers will very soon be available. The units are quite small and compact making import, transport and fitting quite straight forward.
The purpose of the company has always been to supply and fit fuel monitoring equipment to commercial vehicles. The equipment sends back data to the company’s server which produces reports on the driving and fuel efficiency of each vehicle. The ultimate aim is to save the customer money by cutting their fuel costs.
The company operates from rented offices in a West Midlands Business Park. There are currently two other members of employed staff, however this is expected to increase by at least one with the new order book.
Translation - Portuguese O sr. Smith está confiante que esse relacionamento é bem forte mas, por precaução, a empresa também está procurando outros fornecedores no Extremo Oriente que operam com produtos semelhantes e dos quais seria mais barato comprar. A tecnologia está melhorando o tempo todo e muito em breve outros fornecedores estarão disponíveis. As unidades são bem pequenas e compactas, o que facilita bastante a importação, o transporte e a preparação.
O propósito da empresa sempre foi suprir e adequar equipamentos de monitoramento de combustível para veículos comerciais. O equipamento retorna dados ao servidor da empresa, que gera relatórios sobre a eficiência da condução e do combustível de cada veículo. O objetivo final é fazer com que o cliente economize dinheiro cortando seus gastos com combustível.
A companhia opera por meio de escritórios alugados em um Complexo Empresarial em Midlands do Oeste. Há atualmente dois outros membros contratados, porém, com o novo livro de ordens, se espera contratar ao menos mais um.
English to Portuguese: The Dead by James Joyce - Sample General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Lily, the caretaker's daughter, was literally run off her feet. Hardly had she brought one gentleman into the
little pantry behind the office on the ground floor and helped him off with his overcoat than the wheezy
hall-door bell clanged again and she had to scamper along the bare hallway to let in another guest. It was
well for her she had not to attend to the ladies also. But Miss Kate and Miss Julia had thought of that
and had converted the bathroom upstairs into a ladies' dressing-room. Miss Kate and Miss Julia were there,
gossiping and laughing and fussing, walking after each other to the head of the stairs,
peering down over the banisters and calling down to Lily to ask her who had come.
This segment is a free sample from The Dead, by James Joyce
Translation - Portuguese Lily, a filha do zelador, estava muito ocupada. Com dificuldade acompanhava um senhor para a pequena copa atrás do escritório no térreo e o ajudava com seu sobretudo até que o ofegante sino da porta de entrada tocava novamente e ela tinha que sair em disparada ao longo da sala de entrada vazia para atender outro convidado. Pelo menos não precisava atender as garotas também. Mas a srta. Kate e a srta. Julia pensaram nisso e tinham transformado o banheiro do andar de cima no provador das senhoras. A senhorita Kate e a senhorita Julia estavam lá, fofocando e rindo e fazendo confusão, andavam uma após a outra até o topo da escadaria, olhavam o andar de baixo por cima do corrimão e pediam a Lily quem havia chegado.

I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and I translate financial and literary documents from English into Brazilian Portuguese.
My main goal in literary documents is to translate the exact content with the unique style of the author, from where beautiful are born and preserved. Personally, I've always read literature and really like the process of translating not only the story but also the aesthetic feeling. Recently I've translated a 11,000 words fiction book published by TekTime.
Meanwhile, in Finance the most crucial aspect for me is the terminology. All the content of a balance sheet, financial statement, or business plan can be misunderstood if the terminology is not correctly translated. I believe I can translate financial documents because I have a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, which I got in 2023.
