English to Portuguese: Extract from "Japanese Girls and Women", by Alice Mabel Bacon General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Anthropology
Source text - English With the close of her childhood, the happiest period in the life of a Japanese woman closes. The discipline that she has received so far, repressive and constant as it has often been, has been from kind and loving parents. She has freedom, to a certain degree, such as is unknown to any other country in Asia. In the home she is truly loved, often the pet and plaything of the household, though not receiving the caresses and words of endearment that children in America expect as a right, for love in Japan is undemonstrative. But just at the time when her mind broadens, and the desire for knowledge and self-improvement develops, the restraints and checks upon her become more severe. Her sphere seems to grow narrower, difficulties one by one increase, and the young girl, who sees life before her as something broad and expansive, who looks to the future with expectant joy, may become, in a few years, the weary, disheartened woman.
Translation - Portuguese Com o término de sua infância, o período mais feliz na vida de uma mulher japonesa se encerra. A disciplina que recebeu até o momento, repressiva e constante como não raro tem sido, foi recebida de pais gentis e amáveis. Ela possui liberdade, até certo grau, tal como não se conhece em qualquer outro país da Ásia. No lar ela é realmente amada, frequentemente a protegida e joguete da residência, embora não receba as carícias e palavras carinhosas que crianças na América esperam por direito, vez que o amor no Japão não se demonstra. Mas justo no momento em que sua mente se expande, e o desejo por conhecimento e desenvolvimento pessoal cresce, as restrições e fiscalizações sobre ela se tornam mais severas. Sua esfera parece se estreitar, dificuldades aumentam uma a uma, e a jovem, que vê a vida à sua frente como algo amplo e expansivo, que vê o futuro com expectativa alegre, pode se tornar, em poucos anos, a mulher cansada e desiludida.

Bio
I am a freelance translator working from and into English / Portuguese, focusing on creative translations.
Although my academic background is in Law, my ultimate passion has always been languages, and it has ingrained my whole life: I actually started translating when I was 13 years old. I was curious about the meaning of the songs I liked. Little did I know, doing that would develop my creative translation skills.
I have some experience translating legal and financial texts, as well as general documents, such as:
- University/School transcripts and diplomas;
- Personal identification documents;
- Resumés, CVs, cover letters;
- Income Tax papers.
Translating literature is a particular interest of mine, but whether it is a book or a contract, I believe that every text tells a story, and my goal is to help people spread it.
