English to Portuguese: Eurozone growth revised upwards General field: Bus/Financial
Source text - English http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34184645
Eurozone growth revised upwards
Economic growth in the 19 countries that make up the eurozone has been revised upwards.
The second estimate of gross domestic product (GDP) for April to June put growth at 0.4%, up from the first estimate of 0.3%.
The European statistics agency Eurostat also revised growth in the first quarter, from 0.4% to 0.5%.
Also on Tuesday it was announced that German imports and exports had both reached record levels.
Boosted by the continuing weakness of the euro, exports rose 2.4% to €103.4bn ($115.5bn; £75.1bn) in July, the federal statistics office Destatis estimated, after adjusting for seasonal and calendar effects.
Imports also rose, but not by as much, meaning the trade surplus grew to a record €25.0bn.
The upward revision to GDP for the first quarter is a result of the inclusion of Ireland, which had not been counted in earlier estimates.
The Irish economy grew 1.4% in the first three months of 2015, compared with the previous quarter, making it the fastest-growing eurozone country.
With the Irish figures not yet included, the fastest-growing eurozone member in the second quarter was Latvia at 1.2%.

Translation - Portuguese Crescimento da Zona do Euro revisado para cima
O crescimento econômico nos 19 países que compõem a zona do euro foi revisado para cima.
A segunda estimativa do produto interno bruto (PIB) de abril para junho coloca o crescimento em 0,4%, subindo da primeira estimativa de 0,3%.
A Eurostat, agência europeia de estatística, também revisou o crescimento no primeiro trimestre, de 0,4% para 0,5%.
Além disso, na terça-feira foi anunciado que as importações e exportações alemãs haviam alcançado níveis recorde.
Impulsionadas pela contínua desvalorização do euro, as exportações aumentaram 2,4%, para €103.4 bilhões (U$115.5 bilhões; £75.1 bilhões) em julho, em estimativa do Destatis, escritório federal de estatísticas, depois do ajuste para efeitos sazonais e de calendário.
As importações também aumentaram, mas não tanto, o que resultou no crescimento do superávit da balança comercial para um recorde de 25 bilhões de euros.
A revisão para cima do PIB do pirmeiro trimestre é resultado da inclusão da Irlanda, que não havia sido contada em estimativas prévias.
A economia irlandesa cresceu 1,4% nos três primeiros meses de 2015, se comparado com o trimestre anterior, fazendo com que a Irlanda se tornasse o país que cresce mais rapidamente na zona do euro.
Com os números irlandeses ainda não incluídos, o membro da zona do euro que mais cresceu no segundo trimestre foi a Letônia, com 1,2%.

The Battle of Bretton Woods (Benn Steil, 2013)
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
In late 2008, with the world engulfed in the worst financial crisis
since the Great Depression, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown each called for a fundamental
rethinking of the world financial system. They were joined in early
2009 by Chinese central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan, who pointed a finger at the instability caused by the absence of a true international currency. Each invoked the memory of “Bretton Woods,” the remote New Hampshire town where representatives of forty-four nations gathered in July 1944, in the midst of the century’s second great war, to do what had never been attempted before: to design a global monetary system, to be managed by an international body.
The classical gold standard of the late nineteenth century, the organically formed foundation of the first great economic globalization, had collapsed during the previous world war, with efforts to revive it in the 1920s proving catastrophically unsuccessful. Economies and trade collapsed; cross-border tensions soared. Internationalists in the U.S.
Treasury and State Department saw a powerful cause and effect, and were determined in the 1930s to create, in the words of Treasury’s Harry Dexter White, a “New Deal for a new world.”
White, working in parallel and in frictional collaboration with
his British counterpart, the revolutionary economist John Maynard
Keynes, set out to create the economic foundations for a durable postwar global peace, one that would allow governments more power over markets, but fewer prerogatives to manipulate them for trade gains. Trade would in the future be harnessed to the service of political cooperation by ending shortages of gold and U.S. dollars. Speculators whostoked and profited from fears of such shortages would be shackled by strictures on the frenetic cross-border flows of capital. Interest rates would in each nation be set by government experts, schooled in the powerful new discipline of macroeconomics that Keynes had been instrumental in establishing. An International Monetary Fund (IMF) would ensure that exchange rates were not manipulated for competitive advantage. Most importantly, budding dictators would never again be able to use “economic aggression” to ruin their neighbors and fan the flames of war.
Robust economic recovery in the 1950s and ’60s served to make Bretton Woods synonymous with visionary, cooperative international economic reform. Seven decades on, at a time of great global financial and economic stress, it is perhaps not surprising that blueprints for revamping the international monetary system from the likes of hedge fund guru George Soros, Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz, and policy wonk Fred Bergsten all hark back to Bretton Woods, and the years of Keynes-White debate that defined it.

A BATALHA DE BRETTON WOODS
CAPÍTULO 1
Introdução
No final de 2008, com o mundo engolido na pior crise financeira desde a Grande Depressão, o Presidente francês, Nicolas Sarkozy e o Primeiro Ministro britânico, Gordon Brown pediram uma reformulação fundamental do sistema financeiro mundial. No início de 2009, juntou-se a eles o presidente do banco central chinês, Zhou Xiaochuan, que apontou para a instabilidade causada pela ausência de uma verdadeira moeda internacional. Cada um deles invocou a memória de “Bretton Woods,” a remota cidade de New Hampshire onde os representantes de quarenta e quatro nações se reuniram em julho de 1944, em meio à segunda grande guerra do século, para fazer o que nunca tinha sido feito antes: formular um sistema monetário global, a ser gerenciado por uma organização internacional.
A fundação organicamente formada da primeira grande globalização econômica, o clássico padrão-ouro do final do século dezenove, havia desmoronado durante a I Guerra Mundial, e os esforços para revivê-lo na década de 1920 provaram-se catastroficamente malsucedidos. Economias e o comércio ruíram; tensões internacionais aumentaram consideravelmente. Internacionalistas no Tesouro e no Departamento de Estado dos E.U.A. viram um poderoso efeito de causalidade, e, em 1930, estavam determinados a criar, nas palavras de Harry Dexter White, funcionário do Tesouro, um “New Deal (novo acordo) para um novo mundo”.
White, trabalhando em paralela e intensa colaboração com sua contraparte britânica, John Maynard Keynes, o revolucionário economista, se propôs a criar as fundações econômicas para uma durável paz global pós-guerra, que proporcionaria aos governos mais poder com relação aos mercados, mas menos prerrogativas para manipulá-los com a intenção de auferir ganhos com o comércio. Acabando com possíveis cenários de escassez de ouro e dólares, o comércio seria futuramente atrelado ao serviço de cooperação política. Especuladores que incentivavam e lucravam com o receio de tais carências seriam acorrentados por restrições nos frenéticos fluxos internacionais de capital. Em cada país, as taxas de juros seriam determinadas por especialistas do governo, versados na poderosa nova disciplina da macroeconomia, cujo estabelecimento tem Keynes como figura determinante. Um Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI) garantiria que as taxas de câmbio não fossem manipuladas para ganhos competitivos. Mais importante, ditadores debutantes nunca mais seriam capazes de usar a “agressão econômica” para acabar com seus vizinhos e espalhar as chamas da guerra.
A robusta recuperação econômica das décadas de 1950 e 1960 serviu para fazer com que Bretton Woods se tornasse sinônimo de reforma econômica visionária e cooperativa. Sete décadas mais tarde, em tempos de grande estresse econômico e financeiro, talvez não seja surpreendente que a base para a reformulação do sistema monetário internacional idealizada por figuras como o guru dos hedge funds, George Soro, o economista vencedor do prêmio Nobel, Joseph Stiglitz e o expert em política econômica, Fred Bergsten, retome os princípios do acordo de Bretton Woods e, consequentemente, os anos do debate entre Keynes e White que o definiram.

Bio
Português (Portuguese) -
Meu nome é João Augusto Ferreira Freire, tenho 20 anos, e apesar de nunca ter morado em países de Língua Inglesa, convivo com o idioma desde que consigo me lembrar. Sempre tive muita afinidade com o inglês e também, é claro, com o português. Minha mãe, que é formada em letras (português-inglês) e hoje é doutora em linguística, me proporcionou um nível de convivência e aprendizado profundo com as duas línguas. Além disso, procuro me manter sempre atualizado, leio artigos acadêmicos e livros da área de economia em inglês (no momento estou cursando ciências econômicas na UFRJ) e assisto a documentários e noticiários (CNN, BBC) sempre que posso. Apesar de nunca ter trabalhado com tradução, tenho confiança total nas minhas habilidades e disposição de sobra para aprender os métodos necessários à profissão e trabalhar com tradução em alto nível.
Tenho nota A no FCE: First Certificate in English, Cambridge University (2011)
English (Inglês) -
My name is João Augusto Ferreira Freire, I'm 20 years old, and although I never lived in countries where English is spoken as first language, English is in my everyday life for as long as I can remember. I feel that I have grown to have a deep understanding of the English language, as well as Portuguese. My mother has a PhD in linguistics, and she has provided me a solid education in both languages. In addition to that, I'm constantly looking to keep myself updated, by reading articles and books in English about economics (I'm currently majoring in economics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, UFRJ) and watching documentaries and the news (CNN, BBC). Though I never worked with translation, I have complete confidence in my skills and also a fierce willingness to learn the specifications needed by this profession to perform at the highest levels.
I've been awarded grade A in Cambridge's First Certificate in English, in 2011.
