English to Portuguese: Excerpt from "Brownies" by ZZ Packer General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English But nature lessons were not Mrs. Margolin’s top priority. She saw the position of troop leader as an evangelical post. Back at the A.M.E. church where our Brownie meetings were held, Mrs. Margolin was especially fond of imparting religious aphorisms by means of acrostics—“Satan” was the “Serpent Always Tempting and Noisome”; she’d refer to the “Bible” as “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.” Whenever she quizzed us on these, expecting to hear the acrostics parroted back to her, only Arnetta’s correct replies soared over our vague mumblings. “Jesus?” Mrs. Margolin might ask expectantly, and Arnetta alone would dutifully answer, “Jehovah’s Example, Saving Us Sinners.”
Translation - Portuguese Só que aulas sobre a natureza não eram a maior prioridade da Sra. Margolin. Ela via a posição de líder da tropa como um posto evangélico. De volta à Igreja Metodista Episcopal Africana, onde ocorriam nossos encontros das brownies, a Sra. Margolin partilhava aforismas religiosos através de acrósticos — "Satã" era a "Serpente Ardilosa, Tentadora e Azeda", enquanto a "Bíblia" era o "Breviário Indispensável de Boas Lições para Ingressar no Além." Sempre quando ela nos questionava sobre os aforismas, esperando ouvir de volta os acrósticos papagueados, só as respostas certas da Arnetta se elevavam sobre nosso vago burburinho. "Jesus?", poderia perguntar ansiosa a Sra. Margolin, e a aplicada Arnetta sozinha responderia: "Jeová Encarnado, Sejamos Ungidos pelo Senhor."
Italian to Portuguese: Un estratto del racconto "Le Leggende del Castello Nero", di Iginio Ugo Tarchetti General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - Italian Una sera - lo ricordo come fosse ieri - eravamo riuniti, secondo il solito, in quella sala: era d'inverno, ma non vi era neve; il suolo gelato e imbiancato di brina rifletteva i raggi della luna in guisa da produrre una luce bianca e viva come quella di un'aurora. Tutto era silenzio, e non si udiva che il martellare alternato di qualche goccia che stillava dai ghiacciuoli delle gronde. Ad un tratto un rumore sordo e improvviso di un oggetto gettato nel cortile dal muracciuolo di cinta, viene ad interrompere la nostra conversazione; mio padre si alza, esce e si precipita fuori della porta che mette sulla via, ma non ode rumore alcuno di passi, nè vede per tutto quel tratto di strada che si distende d'innanzi a lui, alcuna persona che si allontani.
Translation - Portuguese Em uma dessas noites — lembro como se fosse ontem —, estávamos reunidos, como de costume, naquela sala. Era inverno, mas não nevava. A terra congelada e esbranquiçada da geada refletia os raios da lua de forma a produzir uma luz branca e viva como a da aurora. Tudo estava em silêncio, e só se ouvia as marteladas alternadas de algumas gotas que caíam dos pingentes de gelo formados no beiral do telhado. De repente, nossa conversa foi interrompida por um ruído surdo e inesperado de um objeto jogado no pátio por cima da mureta do cercado . Meu pai se levantou, saiu e se lançou porta afora pela entrada que levava à rua, mas não ouviu nenhum ruído de passos nem viu ninguém andando pela rua que se estendia diante dele.

Experience
Years of experience: 6. Registered at ProZ.com: Dec 2018.
I do not know if I am a translator who studies Medicine or a medical student who translates. I think I do a pretty good job in both fields and I suspect it is so because I love what I do.
Before I entered the translation world, I was already familiar with that kind of practice. When I was a child, my oldest brother used to translate the subtitles from the games he played on our beloved PlayStation 1 so I could follow the stories while he played them. In my teenage years, watching movies, series, interviews, and a lot of NBA basketball made learning the English language a natural experience. All of a sudden I could not only read the subtitles from the games my brother used to play but also whole books written in English. So translation and I go a long way back, but now we are tied together in a professional way.
