HUMOR
An elderly gent was invited to his old friends'
home for dinner one evening. He was impressed
by the way his buddy preceded every request to
his wife with endearing terms -- Honey, My Love,
Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin etc. The couple had
been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they
were still very much in love. While the wife was
in the kitchen, the man leaned over and said to
his host, "I think it's wonderful that, after
all these years, you still call your wife those
loving pet names." The old man hung his head.
"I have to tell you the truth.", he
said. "I forgot her name about 10 years ago."

DICA
DO MICHAEL (Tirando Dúvidas de Inglês)
Estou
ajudando um amigo com uma tradução
e há uma expressão, “take
a clean slate approach for the new age of services”,
que não entendi. Você a conhece?
“Clean
slate”, literalmente “ardósia,
chapa ou lousa limpas”, quer dizer “começar
do início”, “apagar o passado”,
“estaca zero”, “começar
de novo”, “não ter nada contra
você”. “A clean slate approach
fo the new age of services”, portanto, seria
“uma abordagem que marca a nova era da prestação
de serviços”. Como se vê, uma
linguagem exagerada, típica da propaganda.
