Deveria & é melhor
Carregando traduções...
Os três conselhos do inglês têm temperaturas diferentes, e o português não marca isso. Should é a sugestão neutra, a que cabe em qualquer conversa. Had better parece mais brando por causa do "better", mas é o mais duro dos três: ele carrega uma ameaça implícita, do tipo "faça isso, ou você vai se arrepender" — usá-lo com um desconhecido soa agressivo. Ought to é o mais formal e praticamente sumiu da fala. Guarde ainda o conselho tarde demais: quando a estrutura vem seguida de have mais particípio, ela deixa de recomendar e passa a lamentar algo que já não tem volta.
Traduzir frase inteira ensina o que traduzir palavra não ensina: a ordem, o tempo verbal e a preposição só aparecem quando a frase existe. Cada uma destas aceita 10.5 formas diferentes em média — porque quase nunca há uma resposta única, e reconhecer as variantes é metade do trabalho de entender quem fala.
