peer agreement (net): +2| casarões de fachada colonial style houses Explanation: I would translate this as one of the follwing: colonial style houses colonial facades* large colonial houses * the "houses" is implied and obvious and the point of the writer is made clear - ie the contrast between this image and the image of skyscrapers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2005-09-27 18:35:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think the "casarao" is implied in the word "colonial" - the original reader knows that a casarao de fachada implies the colonial style in Manaus. The same image will be seen by the reader of the English in "colonial style" (in my opinion...). |
