Well, this post is not about actually washing your dirty laundry in publish. This is part of a book that a dear friend of mine wrote about similarities between Portuguese and English, and how we can benefit from them. So enjoy!<\/p>\n

Thanks Ron, for letting me share this chapter!<\/p>\n

Lavando a roupa suja (e outros assuntos da vida dom\u00e9stica)<\/strong><\/p>\n

O escritor e fil\u00f3sofo alem\u00e3o Johann von Goethe disse que “feliz \u00e9 aquele, rei ou campon\u00eas, que tem paz em casa”. Todos queremos paz em casa, mas nenhuma casa \u00e9 perfeita. H\u00e1 coisas que preferimos “varrer para debaixo do tapete”:<\/p>\n

varrer = sweep<\/em>
\n debaixo = under<\/em>
\n tapete = rug<\/em>
\n varrer para debaixo do tapete = sweep under the rug<\/em>
\n Tudo foi varrido para debaixo do tapete. = Everything was swept under the rug.<\/em><\/p>\n

N\u00f3s brigamos, geralmente em casa, mas \u00e0s vezes lavamos “a roupa suja” em p\u00fablico:<\/p>\n

sujo = dirty<\/em>
\n roupa suja = dirty laundry<\/em>
\n Estavam lavando a roupa suja em p\u00fablico. = They were airing their dirty laundry in public.<\/em><\/p>\n

Evite a tenta\u00e7\u00e3o de “jogar tudo fora”:<\/p>\n

jogar = throw<\/em>
\n tudo = it all \/ everything<\/em>
\n fora = away<\/em>
\n jogar tudo fora = throw it all away<\/em>
\n N\u00e3o jogue tudo fora por uma mulher que voc\u00ea mal conhece. = Don’t throw it all away for a woman you barely know.<\/em><\/p>\n

O que acontece “entre quatro paredes” \u00e9 assunto particular:<\/p>\n

entre = within<\/em>
\n quatro = four<\/em>
\n paredes = walls<\/em>
\n entre quatro paredes = within four walls<\/em>
\n O que acontece entre quatro paredes fica entre quatro paredes. = That which occurs within four walls stays within four walls.<\/em><\/p>\n

As pessoas precisam se sentir com vontade de fazer algo, e ser o que quiserem – como “sair do arm\u00e1rio”, por exemplo:<\/p>\n

sair = come out<\/em>
\n arm\u00e1rio = closet<\/em>
\n sair do arm\u00e1rio = come out of the closet<\/em>
\n Eu acho que ele ainda n\u00e3o saiu do arm\u00e1rio. = I think he still hasn’t come out of the closet.<\/em><\/p>\n

Em casa n\u00e3o h\u00e1 segredos. Mas, lembrem-se, “as paredes t\u00eam ouvidos”:<\/p>\n

ouvidos = ears<\/em>
\n as paredes t\u00eam ouvidos = the walls have ears<\/em>
\n Cuidado, as paredes t\u00eam ouvidos. = Careful, the walls have ears.<\/em><\/p>\n

Temos de cuidar, amar a fam\u00edlia e dar a ela todo o carinho que pudermos, sen\u00e3o tudo “vai para o ralo”:<\/p>\n

ralo = drain<\/em>
\n Tudo foi para o ralo. = Everything went down the drain.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00c0s vezes, mudan\u00e7as s\u00e3o necess\u00e1rias, mas cuidado para “n\u00e3o jogar fora o beb\u00ea junto com a \u00e1gua do banho”:<\/p>\n

jogar = throw<\/em>
\n beb\u00ea = baby<\/em>
\n fora = out<\/em>
\n banho = bath<\/em>
\n \u00e1gua = water<\/em>
\n Cuidado para n\u00e3o jogar o beb\u00ea fora junto com a \u00e1gua do banho. = Careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.<\/em><\/p>\n

Se voc\u00ea criou algum problema, ent\u00e3o “fez a sua cama, agora se deite nela”:<\/p>\n

fazer = make<\/em>
\n cama = bed<\/em>
\n deitar = lie<\/em>
\n Voc\u00ea fez sua cama, agora se deite nela. = You made oyur bed, now lie in it.<\/em><\/p>\n
