English to Portuguese: Fertile Crescent General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: History
Source text - English The Neo-Assyrian Empire was ruled by some of the best-known kings from antiquity including Tiglath Pileser III (745-727 BCE),Sargon II (722-705 BCE), Sennacherib (705-681 BCE), Esarhaddon (681-669 BCE) and Ashurbanipal (668-627 BCE). Ashurbanipal prized knowledge highly and ordered all the literary works of the region copied and stored in his great library.
When the Neo-Assyrian Empire fell in 612 BCE, the invading forces set fire to the libraries of the cities but, since the works were written on clay tablets, they were only baked harder, not destroyed. The invaders, inadvertently, were responsible for the preservation of the very culture they sought to destroy.
Translation - Portuguese O Império Neoassírio foi governado por alguns dos reis mais conhecidos da antiguidade, incluindo Tiglate Pileser III (745-727 AEC), Sargão II (722-705 AEC), Senaqueribe (705-681 AEC), Assaradão (681-669 AEC), e Assurbanípal (668-627 AEC). Assurbanípal valorizava bastante o conhecimento e determinou que todos os trabalhos literários da região fossem copiados e guardados em sua grande biblioteca.
Quando o Império Neoassírio caiu em 612 AEC, as forças invasoras atearam fogo nas bibliotecas das cidades. Porém, uma vez que os trabalhos eram escritos em placas de argila, eles apenas se endureceram mais, ao invés de serem destruídos. Os invasores, inadvertidamente, foram responsáveis pela preservação da própria cultura que eles buscavam destruir.
English to Portuguese: Similarities Between Eastern & Western Philosophy General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Philosophy
Source text - English The similarities between eastern and western philosophy are greater than any differences cited by modern-day writers and lecturers on the topic. The most often cited difference is that western philosophy is 'fragmentary' while eastern philosophy is 'holistic'.
The popular writer Sankara Saranam, author of the book "God Without Religion", is one example of this when he claims that eastern philosophy is concerned with general knowledge while western philosophy aims at specific knowledge. This refers to the popular understanding that eastern philosophy - specifically Chinese philosophy - addresses the whole of human existence while western philosophy - beginning with the Greeks - only focuses on certain aspects of the human condition.
Translation - Portuguese As semelhanças entre as filosofias oriental e ocidental são maiores que qualquer diferença mencionada por escritores e acadêmicos contemporâneos sobre o assunto. A diferença mais comumente citada é a de que a filosofia ocidental é ‘fragmentada’, enquanto a filosofia oriental é ‘holística’.
O conhecido escritor Sankara Saranam, autor do livro "Deus Sem Religião", é um exemplo disso, ao dizer que a filosofia oriental preocupa-se com conhecimentos gerais enquanto a filosofia ocidental dirige-se a conhecimentos específicos. Isso se refere ao entendimento popular de que a filosofia oriental - especialmente a filosofia chinesa - aborda a existência humana como um todo, enquanto a filosofia ocidental - a começar com os gregos - é apenas focada em certos aspectos da condição humana.

Experience
Years of experience: 5. Registered at ProZ.com: Sep 2020. Became a member: Oct 2020.
I am a Professional Translator with more than 12 years of
experience translating from English to Portuguese, on multiple specialties. I
started out translating content for news websites on Fiction literature works,
and soon enough I branched out to other fields, such as publications on Finance,
Business and also on Public Healthcare, during my time working as a translator
to a WHO Collaborating Centre at a Nursing College.
After getting my Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and Economics
at University of Sao Paulo (USP) – the leading university in my country – I
worked with a Real Estate development company, and, most recently, at a Banking
institution, becoming familiar with the ins and outs of both these industries.
I am a native Brazilian and I have always been motivated to
make foreign content available to people within my country – and that is what I
love about being a translator.
Main specialties:
Accounting & Finance, Business, Marketing
Literature, Arts, Philosophy
Other subjects:
Real Estate, Insurance
Gaming, computers/IT
Entertainment, miscellaneous
I can translate:
Business and commercial documents (reports, contracts, correspondence,
etc.)
