English term or phrase: Stew of Fear
Como é que os colegas traduziam esta expressão? "O ébola cozinhado a medo"?
Parece-me muito decalcado e gostave de melhorar a tradução, já que o tema é sensível e sério.
Ebola in a Stew of Fear
“Bush meat?” I asked. The food in front of me smelled delicious, but the mention of bush meat in the stew evoked a twinge of fear. Could it be fruit bat? Chimpanzee? Both can harbor Ebola virus."

Parece que a pergunta continuou aqui em aberto para ser selecionada uma resposta. Optei pela tradução que já tinha referido, mas mesmo assim seria de bom tom escolher uma resposta. A que "fugiu" um pouco mais da tradução literal foi a do Mário. No entanto, agradeço a ajuda de todos os outros colegas.

bush meat in the stew evoked a twinge of fear.
Could it be fruit bat?
Chimpanzee?
Both can harbor Ebola virus."

They are obviously talking about a "stew" - "guisado" and the "fear" comes from the fact that it is wild "game" meat which could be infected with the Ebola virus.

A minha sugestão veio na sequência do texto original que encontrei no NEJM. Achei que fluía bem... http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1411244

Example sentence(s):
  • Porque quando é persistente a ansiedade é isso mesmo: um caldeirão de medos e inseguranças sempre pronto a transbordar,
  • A reflexão sobre os fantasmas do futuro é a âncora do cinema de ficção científica alimentando nosso caldeirão de medos.
