The seven-decade journey to an expanded Panama Canal is coming to a close, despite one last obstacle

A viagem de sete décadas para a expansão do Canal do Panamá está chegando ao fim, apesar de um último obstáculo

(by David Z. Morris / April 17, 2015)

The Panama Canal is getting a major overhaul, and despite an unresolved lawsuit that has delayed the project, it's poised to transform global trade dramatically.

O Canal do Panamá está passando por uma grande reforma e, apesar de um processo judicial por resolver que atrasou o projeto, está pronto a transformar drasticamente o comércio mundial.

• "overhaul" – revisão, reforma, inspeção, recondicionamento, vistoria.
• "a major overhaul" – uma grande reforma.

The original Panama Canal remains of the most ambitious public works projects of all time.

O Canal do Panamá original continua sendo um dos projetos de obras públicas mais ambiciosos de todos os tempos.

• "remains" – continua sendo, se mantém .
• "public works projects" – projetos de obras públicas.
• "of all time" – de todos os tempos, da história, em todos os tempos.

But it wasn't quite ambitious enough: within a few years of its opening in 1914, it was too small for many military and cargo ships.

Porém não era suficientemente ambicioso: poucos anos após a sua abertura em 1914, era demasiado pequeno para muitos navios militares e de carga. 

The U.S. authorities then in control began excavation for larger locks in 1939 — but that work came to a standstill as America entered World War II, and no effective progress was made on the project for the remainder of the 20th century.

Em 1939, as autoridades norte-americanas que então controlavam o projeto iniciaram a escavação de eclusas maiores, mas os trabalhos foram interrompidos com a entrada dos Estados Unidos na Segunda Guerra Mundial e o projeto não progrediu durante o restante do século XX.

• "locks" – eclusas.
• Eclusas são obras de engenharia hidráulica que permitem que embarcações subam ou desçam rios, mares ou oceanos em locais com desníveis. Elas funcionam como elevadores para navios, com duas comportas que separam os dois níveis do curso d'água.
• "for the remainder of" – pelo o restante de, durante o restante de.
• "the 20th century" – o século XX.

That changed swiftly when the canal transitioned to full Panamanian control in 1999.

Esta situação mudou rapidamente quando o canal passou a ser totalmente controlado pelo Panamá em 1999.

By 2006, a detailed expansion plan had been drafted and approved by Panamanian voters in a 77% landslide.

Em 2006, foi elaborado um plano de expansão pormenorizado, que foi aprovado pelos eleitores panamianos com uma vitória esmagadora de 77%.

• "in a 77% landslide" (idiom) – com uma vitória esmagadora de 77%.

With a total budget of $5.2 billion, completion was initially projected for 2014.

Com um orçamento total de 5,2 bilhões de dólares, a conclusão estava inicialmente prevista para 2014.

Last year, the canal netted $2.6 billion, roughly half of Panama’s national revenue.

No ano passado, o canal rendeu 2,6 bilhões de dólares, cerca de metade das receitas nacionais do Panamá.

• "netted" – rendeu, marcou, gerou.
• "roughly half of" / ˈrʌfli hæfəv / – aproximadamente metade de.
• "revenue" /'rev.ən.juː/ – receita, arrecadação, faturamento.

The Panama Canal Authority has projected that the expansion will increase that revenue eightfold by 2025.

A Autoridade do Canal do Panamá projetou que a expansão aumentará essa receita oito vezes até 2025.

• "eightfold" /'eɪtfəʊld/ – oito vezes.

There’s been a hitch in the expansion effort, however.

No entanto, houve um obstáculo no esforço de expansão.

• "hitch" (= a problem, a temporary difficulty).

A group of mostly European contractors known as the Grupo Unidos por el Canal has filed claims totaling more than a half billion dollars against the Panama Canal Authority, alleging that misinformation led to cost overruns.

Um grupo de empreiteiros maioritariamente europeus, conhecido como Grupo Unidos pelo Canal, apresentou queixas no valor total de mais de 500 milhões de dólares contra a Autoridade do Canal do Panamá, alegando que a desinformação levou a custos excessivos.

But according to Dr. J. David Rogers, a professor of geological engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, who has worked closely with the Panamanians for more than a quarter-century, the real problem is that contractors knowingly underbid the job.

Mas, de acordo com o Dr. J. David Rogers, professor de engenharia geológica na Universidade de Ciência e Tecnologia do Missouri, que trabalha em estreita colaboração com os panamianos há mais de um quarto de século, o verdadeiro problema é que os empreiteiros fizeram, conscientemente, uma proposta inferior à proposta.

The canal expansion is about more than money to the Panamanians, according to Dr. Rogers.

A expansão do canal é mais do que dinheiro para os panamenhos, de acordo com o Dr. Rogers.

“It’s a national pride project for them. It’s their lifeblood,” he says of the Panamanians’ feelings about the canal.

"É um projeto de orgulho nacional para eles. É a sua força vital", diz ele sobre os sentimentos dos panamenhos em relação ao canal.

“It’s what makes them go.”

"É o que os faz andar."

The same seriousness didn’t characterize Americans’ approach to canal expansion.

A mesma seriedade não caracterizou a abordagem dos americanos à expansão dos canais.

Of a series of false starts and fizzled plans, the most amazing came as part of Operation Plowshare, the “Atoms for Peace” program of the U.S. Atomic Energy Agency (now the Department of Energy).

De uma série de falsos começos e planos fracassados, o mais espantoso surgiu como parte da Operação Plowshare, o programa "Átomos para a Paz" da Agência de Energia Atómica dos EUA (agora Departamento de Energia).

Intended to highlight the peacetime usefulness of atomic warheads, Plowshare spent more than a decade exploring the possibility of widening the canal by detonating a string of nuclear warheads.

Com o objetivo de realçar a utilidade das ogivas atômicas em tempo de paz, a Plowshare passou mais de uma década a explorar a possibilidade de alargar o canal através da detonação de uma série de ogivas nucleares.

Rising awareness of environmental risks in the 1960s scuttled the idea.

A crescente consciencialização dos riscos ambientais na década de 1960 fez com que a ideia fosse abandonada.

Under the current, nuke-free plan, new approach channels and locks are being excavated alongside the existing entrances, allowing operations to continue normally during construction.

De acordo com o plano atual, livre de armas nucleares, estão a ser escavados novos canais de acesso e eclusas ao lado das entradas existentes, permitindo que as operações continuem normalmente durante a construção.

The new locks and channels will be about three times bigger, allowing the passage of more of today’s huge container ships.

As novas eclusas e canais serão cerca de três vezes maiores, permitindo a passagem de um maior número dos enormes navios porta-contentores atuais.

The maximum load will increase from about 5,000 containers to 12,000 — though the very largest ships, which currently balloon up to 19,000 containers and primarily work routes between Europe and Asia through the Suez Canal, still won’t fit.

A carga máxima aumentará de cerca de 5.000 contentores para 12.000 - embora os navios de maiores dimensões, que atualmente transportam até 19.000 contentores e que fazem principalmente rotas entre a Europa e a Ásia através do Canal do Suez, continuem a não caber.

The expansion will provide cheaper shipping between Asia and the American Gulf Coast.

A expansão proporcionará um transporte marítimo mais barato entre a Ásia e a costa americana do Golfo.

Traffic that currently flows through West Coast ports such as Los Angeles and Long Beach—including huge amounts of Midwestern grain and coal—will soon move more directly through ports including Houston and Savannah.

O tráfego que atualmente passa por portos da Costa Oeste, como Los Angeles e Long Beach - incluindo grandes quantidades de cereais e carvão do Midwest - em breve passará mais diretamente por portos como Houston e Savannah.

Ports along the U.S. Gulf and East coasts have been expanding to accommodate increased ship size and traffic.

Os portos ao longo das costas do Golfo e Leste dos EUA têm-se expandido para acomodar o aumento do tamanho e do tráfego de navios.

The ongoing court battle means that even the Panama Canal Authority’s recently-updated 2016 target for completion may be missed.

A batalha judicial em curso significa que mesmo a meta de conclusão da Autoridade do Canal do Panamá, recentemente atualizada para 2016, pode não ser cumprida.

But a bigger canal is finally coming—and with it, a host of new possibilities.

Mas um canal maior está finalmente chegando - e com ele, uma série de novas possibilidades.

Pidgin Languages

Idiomas Pidgin     

A pidgin is a system of communication which has grown up among people who do not share a common language, but who want to talk to each other, for trading or other reasons. Pidgins have been variously called ‘makeshift’, ‘marginal’, or ‘mixed’ languages.

Um pidgin é um sistema de comunicação que se desenvolveu entre pessoas que não partilham uma língua comum, mas que querem falar umas com as outras, por razões comerciais ou outras. Os pidgins têm sido designados por línguas "improvisadas", "marginais" ou "mistas".

They have a limited vocabulary, a reduced grammatical structure, and a much narrower range of functions, compared to the languages which gave rise to them. They are the native language of no one, but they are nonetheless a main means of communication for millions of people, and a major focus of interest to those who study the way languages change.

Têm um vocabulário limitado, uma estrutura gramatical reduzida e um leque de funções muito mais restrito do que as línguas que lhes deram origem. Não são a língua materna de ninguém, mas são, no entanto, o principal meio de comunicação de milhões de pessoas e um importante foco de interesse para aqueles que estudam a forma como as línguas mudam.

It is essential to avoid the stereotype of a pidgin language, as perpetrated over the years in generations of children’s comics and films. The ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane’ image is far from the reality. A pidgin is not a language which has broken down; nor is it the result of baby talk, laziness, corruption, primitive  thought processes, or mental deficiency.

É essencial evitar o estereótipo de uma língua pidgin, tal como foi perpetrado ao longo dos anos em gerações de banda desenhada e filmes para crianças. A imagem "Eu Tarzan, tu Jane" está longe de ser a realidade. Um pidgin não é uma língua que se tenha decomposto; nem é o resultado de conversa de bebé, preguiça, corrupção, processos de pensamento primitivos ou deficiência mental.

On the contrary: pidgins are demonstrably creative adaptations of natural languages, with a structure and rules of their own. Along with creoles, they are evidence of a fundamental process of  linguistic change, as languages come into contact with  each other, producing new varieties whose structures and uses contract and expand.

Pelo contrário: os pidgins são adaptações comprovadamente criativas das línguas naturais, com uma estrutura e regras próprias. Juntamente com os crioulos, são a prova de um processo fundamental de mudança linguística, quando as línguas entram em contacto umas com as outras, produzindo novas variedades cujas estruturas e usos se contraem e expandem.

They provide the clearest evidence of language being created and shaped by society for its own ends, as people adapt to new social circumstances. This emphasis on processes of change is reflected in the terms pidginization and creolization.
São a prova mais clara de que a língua é criada e moldada pela sociedade para os seus próprios fins, à medida que as pessoas se adaptam a novas circunstâncias sociais. Esta ênfase nos processos de mudança reflecte-se nos termos pidginização e crioulização.

Most pidgins are based on European languages – English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese – reflecting the history of colonialism.  However, this observation may be the result only of our ignorance of the languages used in parts of Africa, South America, or South-east Asia, where situations of language contact are frequent.

A maioria dos pidgins baseia-se em línguas europeias - inglês, francês, espanhol, holandês e português - reflectindo a história do colonialismo.  No entanto, esta observação pode ser apenas o resultado da nossa ignorância das línguas utilizadas em partes de África, da América do Sul ou do Sudeste Asiático, onde são frequentes as situações de contacto linguístico.

One of the best-known non-European pidgins is Chinook Jargon, once used for trading by American Indians in north-west USA. Another is Sango, a pidginized variety of Ngbandi, spoken widely in west-central Africa.
Um dos pidgins não europeus mais conhecidos é o Chinook Jargon, outrora utilizado para o comércio pelos índios americanos no noroeste dos EUA. Outro é o Sango, uma variedade pidginizada do Ngbandi, falado em grande escala na África centro-ocidental.

Because of their limited function, pidgin languages usually do not last for very long – sometimes for only a few years, and rarely for more than a century. They die when the original reason for communication diminishes or disappears, as communities move apart, or one community learns the language of the other. (Alternatively, the pidgin may develop into a creole.)

Devido à sua função limitada, as línguas pidgin não duram normalmente muito tempo - por vezes apenas alguns anos e raramente mais de um século. Morrem quando a razão original da comunicação diminui ou desaparece, quando as comunidades se afastam ou quando uma comunidade aprende a língua da outra. comunidades se afastam ou uma comunidade aprende a língua da outra. (Em alternativa, o pidgin pode evoluir para um crioulo).

The pidgin French which was used in Vietnam all but disappeared when the French left; similarly, the pidgin English which appeared during the American  Vietnam campaign virtually disappeared as soon as the war was over. But there are exceptions. The pidgin known as Mediterranean Lingua Franca, or Sabir, began in the Middle Ages and lasted until the 20th century.
O pidgin francês que era utilizado no Vietname praticamente desapareceu quando os franceses partiram; do mesmo modo, o pidgin inglês que surgiu durante a campanha americana no Vietname praticamente desapareceu assim que a guerra terminou. Mas há excepções. O pidgin conhecido como Mediterranean Lingua Franca, ou Sabir, começou na Idade Média e durou até ao século XX.

Some pidgins have become so useful as a means of communication between languages that they have developed a more formal role, as regular auxiliary languages. They may even be given official status by a community, as lingua francas.

Alguns pidgins tornaram-se tão úteis como meio de comunicação entre línguas que desenvolveram um papel mais formal, como línguas auxiliares regulares. Podem mesmo ser considerados oficiais por uma comunidade, como línguas francas.

These cases are known as ‘expanded pidgins’, because of the way in which they have added extra forms to cope with the needs of their users, and have come to be used in a much wider range of situations than previously. In time, these languages may come to be used on the radio, in the press, and may even develop a literature of their own.

Estes casos são conhecidos como "pidgins expandidos", devido à forma como acrescentaram formas adicionais para responder às necessidades dos seus utilizadores e passaram a ser utilizados numa gama muito mais vasta de situações do que anteriormente. Com o tempo, estas línguas podem vir a ser utilizadas na rádio, na imprensa e podem mesmo desenvolver uma literatura própria.

Some of the most widely used expanded pidgins are Krio (in Sierra Leone), Nigerian Pidgin English, and Bislama (in Vanuatu). In Papua New Guinea, the local pidgin (Tok Pisin) is the most widely used language in the country.

Alguns dos pidgins expandidos mais utilizados são o Krio (na Serra Leoa), o inglês pidgin nigeriano e o Bislama (em Vanuatu). Na Papua Nova Guiné, o pidgin local (Tok Pisin) é a língua mais utilizada no país.
