Mesmo que & embora
Carregando traduções...
O tropeço mais comum aqui não é escolher o conectivo errado — é usar dois. Português aceita "embora estivesse caro, mas comprei" na fala corrente; inglês recusa: ou entra although, ou entra but, nunca os dois na mesma frase. O segundo cuidado é gramatical. Despite e in spite of pedem substantivo ou verbo terminado em -ing, então "despite it was raining" está quebrado e "despite the rain" está certo. Repare, ao traduzir, que a frase costuma ter duas partes de peso desigual: uma reconhece o obstáculo, a outra o atropela. Quem inverte a ordem das duas muda quem ganha a discussão.
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 12.9 formas diferentes em média — porque quase nunca há uma resposta única, e reconhecer as variantes é metade do trabalho de entender quem fala.
