\"\"<\/a>O verbo to waste<\/strong> quer dizer desperdi\u00e7ar, perder, n\u00e3o usar adequadamente. Voc\u00ea pode:<\/p>\n

waste time<\/strong> = perder tempo<\/p>\n

A great deal of time<\/strong> was wasted<\/strong> arguing over the details of the contract.<\/em> [Desperdi\u00e7ou-se muito tempo discutindo os detalhes do contrato.]
\nI wouldn’t talk to her about it anymore. You’re just wasting your time<\/strong>.<\/em> [Eu n\u00e3o falaria mais com ela sobre isso. Voc\u00ea est\u00e1 perdendo seu tempo.]<\/p>\n

Don’t waste your money<\/strong> on that junk!<\/em> [N\u00e3o gaste seu dinheiro nessa tranqueira!]
\nWhy do you waste your money<\/strong> on lottery tickets?<\/em> [Por que voc\u00ea gasta seu dinheiro em bilhete de loteria?]<\/p>\n

Quando algo goes to wast<\/strong>e, esse algo n\u00e3o \u00e9 usado adequadamente e \u00e9 desperdi\u00e7ado. Essa express\u00e3o me chamou muita aten\u00e7\u00e3o pois eu estava vendo um epis\u00f3dio do seriado Scandal<\/em> e tal express\u00e3o apareceu duas vezes. Num dos di\u00e1logos, o assessor imediato do presidente americano diz:<\/p>\n

Never let a crisis go to waste<\/strong>.<\/em> [Nunca deixe uma crise ser desperdi\u00e7ada.]<\/p>\n

Num outro di\u00e1logo, dois homens envolvidos com o crime conversam e ironicamente um diz ao outro:<\/p>\n

Talent like yours should not go to waste<\/strong>.<\/em> [Talento como o seu n\u00e3o pode ser desperdi\u00e7ado.]<\/p>\n

Vemos ent\u00e3o que podemos traduzir go to waste<\/strong> por “ser desperdi\u00e7ado”. Vejamos mais alguns exemplos:<\/p>\n

We have no intention of letting your efforts go to waste<\/strong>.<\/em> [N\u00e3o temos inten\u00e7\u00e3o de deixar seus esfor\u00e7os serem desperdi\u00e7ados.]
\nIt’s the sunniest part of the yard, so why let it go to waste<\/strong>?<\/em> [\u00c9 onde bate mais sol no quintal, ent\u00e3o por que desperdi\u00e7ar?]
\nWe shouldn’t let all these good books go to waste<\/strong>. Let’s donate them to a public library.<\/em> [N\u00e3o dever\u00edamos deixar tantos livros bons serem desperdi\u00e7ados. Vamos do\u00e1-los para uma biblioteca p\u00fablica.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
