English to Portuguese: 10 things Brazil does better than anywhere else
Source text - English One of the world's most spirited lands, Brazil has made its mark on soccer fields and Carnival extravaganzas, but what it really leads the planet in are exuberance and passion for living.
As the world descends on Rio de Janeiro for the XXXI Olympiad, Brazilians are ready to help the world take a load off and experience something missing for a while: fun.
Here are 10 things Brazil does better than anywhere else:
• Play
Research shows that playfulness creates a kind of charisma that others want in on.
It's a key part of the Brazilian personality: a willingness to laugh at themselves, their predicaments and political absurdities and to welcome others in on the joke.
A few years back, Brazilians voted a clown into Congress. What was unusual was that he was a real clown by profession. Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, known by his stage name of "Grumpy" in Portuguese, won on a slogan, "It can't get any worse."
It did. Despite their problems, Brazilians can put them aside and live in the moment, something the rest of the world could learn from.
Whether it's volleyball, cycling, soccer, playing music or hanging out at the beach, Brazilians work to live.
Playfulness yields clear signs of positive affect -- a twinkle in the eye, enthusiasm, a wry grin -- that are widespread in Brazil. It's highly contagious, and visitors are happy to catch it.
Translation - Portuguese 10 coisas que o Brasil se sai melhor do que qualquer outro país
Um dos países mais alegres do mundo, o Brasil é conhecido pelo futebol e pelos desfiles de carnaval. Porém, nesse país o que ganha destaca mesmo é sua exuberância e paixão pela vida.
À medida que o mundo desembarca no Rio de Janeiro para a 31ª Olimpíada, os brasileiros provam que estão prontos para ajudar o mundo a descontrair e vivenciar algo que estava faltando a um bom tempo: diversão.
Veja a lista das dez coisas que o Brasil se destaca mais do que qualquer outro país.
• DIVERSÃO
Pesquisas mostram que a alegria cria uma espécie de carisma do qual todo o mundo quer participar.
Uma das partes marcantes da personalidade dos brasileiros é a disposição de sorrir deles mesmos, dos percalços e absurdos políticos e agora eles convidam outros povos a fazer parte dessa brincadeira.
Pouco tempo atrás os brasileiros elegeram um humorista. O mais interessante é que ele era palhaço profissional e bem renomado na área do humor: Francisco Everardo Oliveira Silva, conhecido pelo apelido de “Tiririca”, foi, então, eleito com o slogan: “Pior do que tá não fica”. Bom, isso deu certo. E apesar dos problemas do país, os brasileiros conseguem deixa-los de lado e aproveitar o momento festivo, algo que o resto do mundo devia aprender.
Sejam envolvidos em atividades esportivas como: vôlei, ciclismo, futebol, ou mesmo cantando ou curtindo as praias, os brasileiros sabem que têm que trabalhar para seguir a vida.
A diversão é o passaporte certo para o bom humor. Características comuns dos brasileiros como: o entusiasmo, o sorriso irônico ou mesmo o conhecido “jeitinho brasileiro”, são muito contagiosas, e os visitantes ficam loucos para ver isso de perto.
