Hi, there!

Gostaria de agradecer a você, meu leitor, pelo seu apoio durante todo o ano tanto aqui no meu blog, quanto no English Experts e no blog da Transparent Language.

Sem mais delongas, desejo você um lindo Natal e um novo ano repleto de conquistas, em todos os âmbitos da sua vida. Desejo sim, de coração, que você consiga tudo o que almeje e muito mais.

Para terminar deixo o especial de Natal com Michael Bublé!

Até 2012! (Sim, o blog vai tirar uns dias de férias, ok?)

Os dois!

Usamos boss com o sentido de “patrão”.

My boss is traveling on business and I think he’ll be back on Monday.
Meu chefe está viajando a negócios e acho que ele vai voltar na segunda-feira.

Temos o advérbio bossy:

Stop being so bossy!
Pára de ser tão mandão!

A expressão to be one’s own boss:

I’d like to be my own boss.
Gostaria de ser meu próprio chefe / autônomo.

O phrasal verb to boss around:

He’s used to bossing his little brother around.
Ele está acostumado a ficar mandando no seu irmãozinho.

Usamos a palavra chef com o sentido de “chefe de cozinha, cozinheiro-mestre, mestre-cuca”.

My compliments to the chef. The meal was delicious.
Meus elogios ao chefe. A refeição estava deliciosa.

This is it for today, see you next time!

Hi, there!

Sabe quando algo está funcionando perfeitamente, alguém sugere alguma mudança e você diz: Não se mexe em time que está ganhando?

Em inglês temos uma expressão correspondente: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Literalmente quer dizer, “se não está quebrado, não conserte”. A expressão supostamente vem de T. Bert (Thomas Bertram) Lance, o diretor de Gerência e Orçamento na administração de Jimmy Carter em 1977.

Alguns exemplos:

We’re happy with our exam system in Scotland, and as they say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Estamos felizes com nossos sistema de provas na Escócia, e como dizem, não se mexe em time que está ganhando.

He hasn’t made a lot of changes to the team since taking over as head coach, figuring if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Ele não fez muitas mudanças no time desde que passou a ser capitão, pensando que não se mexe em time que está ganhando.

See you tomorrow!
