Vocabulario


"Climbed" is the past tense of the verb "to climb" in English. In Portuguese, it can be translated as "escalou" or "subiu". When someone says "I have climbed Mount Everest," it means that person climbed or ascended Mount Everest at some point in the past. In this context, "climbed" refers to the action of climbing or ascending a mountain, such as Mount Everest.

"Climbed" é o passado do verbo "to climb" em inglês. Em português, ele pode ser traduzido como "escalou" ou "subiu".

Baltimore rescuers lose hope for more survivors from bridge collapse

Baltimore rescuers lose hope for more survivors from bridge collapse
Equipes de resgate de Baltimore perdem a esperança de mais sobreviventes do colapso da ponte


BALTIMORE, March 27 (Reuters) - U.S. federal safety investigators recovered the black box from the freight ship that crashed into a Baltimore bridge, the agency chief said on Wednesday as rescuers looked for the remains of six workers missing in the bridge collapse.
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - Investigadores de segurança federais dos Estados Unidos recuperaram a caixa preta do navio cargueiro que caiu em uma ponte de Baltimore, disse o chefe da agência nesta quarta-feira, enquanto equipes de resgate procuravam os restos mortais de seis trabalhadores desaparecidos no desabamento da ponte.

A highway team also will be looking at the twisted remains of the Francis Scott Key bridge as they try to determine how and why a container ship smashed into a pillar of the 1.6-mile (2.6 km) span in early morning darkness on Tuesday.
Uma equipe rodoviária também examinará os restos retorcidos da ponte Francis Scott Key enquanto tenta determinar como e por que um navio porta-contêineres se chocou contra um pilar do vão de 2,6 km na escuridão da manhã de terça-feira.

Investigators from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board recovered the data recorder after boarding the ship late on Tuesday, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said. They will interview the ship's crew, she said.
Investigadores do Conselho Nacional de Segurança nos Transportes dos EUA recuperaram o gravador de dados após embarcar no navio na noite de terça-feira, disse a presidente do NTSB, Jennifer Homendy. Eles entrevistarão a tripulação do navio, disse ela.

The disaster forced the indefinite closure of the Port of Baltimore, one of the busiest on the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, and created a traffic quagmire for Baltimore and the surrounding region.
O desastre forçou o fechamento indefinido do porto de Baltimore, um dos mais movimentados da costa leste dos EUA, e criou um atoleiro de tráfego para Baltimore e região circundante.

Rescuers pulled two construction workers from the water alive on Tuesday. One was hospitalized. The six presumed to have perished included immigrants from Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, said the Mexican Consulate in Washington.
As equipes de resgate retiraram dois trabalhadores da construção civil da água com vida na terça-feira. Um foi hospitalizado. Os seis supostamente mortos incluíam imigrantes do México, Guatemala e El Salvador, disse o Consulado Mexicano em Washington.

Officials said the eight were part of a work crew repairing potholes on the road surface when the Singapore-flagged container vessel Dali, leaving Baltimore bound for Sri Lanka, plowed into a support pylon.
Autoridades disseram que os oito faziam parte de uma equipe de trabalho que consertava buracos na superfície da estrada quando o navio porta-contêineres Dali, com bandeira de Cingapura, saindo de Baltimore com destino ao Sri Lanka, bateu em um poste de apoio.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it was looking for their bodies 18 hours after they were thrown from the bridge into the frigid waters at the mouth of the Patapsco River.
A Guarda Costeira dos EUA disse que estava procurando seus corpos 18 horas depois de terem sido jogados da ponte nas águas geladas da foz do rio Patapsco.

Divers resumed their search in the 50-foot-deep waters surrounding the twisted ruins.
Os mergulhadores retomaram a busca nas águas de 15 metros de profundidade que cercam as ruínas retorcidas.

"We do not believe that we're going to find any of these individuals alive," Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath said at a briefing.
“Não acreditamos que encontraremos nenhum desses indivíduos vivo”, disse o contra-almirante da Guarda Costeira Shannon Gilreath em um briefing.

Maryland State Police and U.S. Coast Guard officials said diminished visibility and increasingly treacherous currents in the wreckage-strewn channel made continued search efforts on the river too risky to continue overnight.
Autoridades da Polícia Estadual de Maryland e da Guarda Costeira dos EUA disseram que a visibilidade reduzida e as correntes cada vez mais traiçoeiras no canal repleto de destroços tornaram os esforços contínuos de busca no rio muito arriscados para continuar durante a noite.

A trestled section of the bridge almost immediately crumpled into the water, sending vehicles and workers into the river.
Uma seção da ponte com cavaletes quase imediatamente desabou na água, jogando veículos e trabalhadores no rio.

The 948-foot (289 m) ship had reported a loss of propulsion shortly before impact and dropped anchor to slow the vessel, giving transportation authorities time to halt traffic on the bridge before the crash. That move likely prevented a higher death toll, authorities said.
O navio de 948 pés (289 m) relatou uma perda de propulsão pouco antes do impacto e lançou âncora para desacelerar o navio, dando às autoridades de transporte tempo para interromper o tráfego na ponte antes do acidente. Essa medida provavelmente evitou um número maior de mortos, disseram as autoridades.

It was unclear whether authorities also tried to alert the work crew ahead of the impact.
Não ficou claro se as autoridades também tentaram alertar a equipe de trabalho antes do impacto.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore said at a Tuesday news briefing the bridge was up to code with no known structural issues. There was no evidence of foul play, officials said.
O governador de Maryland, Wes Moore, disse em uma coletiva de imprensa na terça-feira que a ponte estava de acordo com o código, sem problemas estruturais conhecidos. Não houve evidência de crime, disseram as autoridades.

SHIP'S SAFETY RECORD
REGISTRO DE SEGURANÇA DO NAVIO

The Baltimore wreck drew attention to the vessel's safety record. The same ship was involved in an incident in the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016, hitting a quay as it tried to exit the North Sea container terminal.
O naufrágio de Baltimore chamou a atenção para o histórico de segurança da embarcação. O mesmo navio esteve envolvido num incidente no porto de Antuérpia, na Bélgica, em 2016, ao bater num cais ao tentar sair do terminal de contentores do Mar do Norte.

An inspection in 2023 carried out in Chile found "propulsion and auxiliary machinery" deficiencies, according to data on the public Equasis website, which provides information on ships.
Uma inspeção em 2023 realizada no Chile constatou deficiências em “máquinas de propulsão e auxiliares”, segundo dados do site público Equasis, que fornece informações sobre navios.

But Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority said in a statement that the vessel passed two separate foreign-port inspections in June and September 2023. It said a faulty fuel pressure gauge was rectified before the vessel departed the port following its June 2023 inspection.
Mas a Autoridade Marítima e Portuária de Singapura disse num comunicado que o navio passou por duas inspeções separadas em portos estrangeiros em junho e setembro de 2023. Afirmou que um medidor de pressão de combustível defeituoso foi corrigido antes de o navio partir do porto após a inspeção de junho de 2023.

Video footage on social media showed the vessel slamming into the 47-year-old Key Bridge in darkness, the headlights of vehicles visible on the span as it crashed into the water and the ship caught fire.
Imagens de vídeo nas redes sociais mostraram o navio batendo na Key Bridge, de 47 anos, na escuridão, os faróis dos veículos visíveis no vão quando ele caiu na água e o navio pegou fogo.

All 22 crew members on the ship, owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, were accounted for, its management company, Synergy Marine Pte Ltd, reported.
Todos os 22 tripulantes do navio, de propriedade da Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, foram contabilizados, informou sua empresa gestora, Synergy Marine Pte Ltd.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said closure of the port would have a "major and protracted impact to supply chains." The Port of Baltimore handles more automobile freight than any other U.S. port - more than 750,000 vehicles in 2022, according to port data, as well as container and bulk cargo ranging from sugar to coal.
O secretário de Transportes dos EUA, Pete Buttigieg, disse que o fechamento do porto teria um "impacto grande e prolongado nas cadeias de abastecimento". O Porto de Baltimore movimenta mais carga automóvel do que qualquer outro porto dos EUA – mais de 750.000 veículos em 2022, de acordo com dados portuários, bem como contentores e carga a granel que vão desde açúcar a carvão.

Still, economists and logistics experts said they doubted the port closure would unleash a major U.S. supply chain crisis or major spike in the price of goods, due to ample capacity at rival shipping hubs along the Eastern Seaboard.
Ainda assim, economistas e especialistas em logística afirmaram duvidar que o encerramento do porto desencadearia uma grande crise na cadeia de abastecimento dos EUA ou um grande aumento no preço dos bens, devido à ampla capacidade em centros marítimos rivais ao longo da Costa Leste.

The loss of the bridge also snarled roadways across Baltimore, forcing motorists onto two other congested harbor crossings and raising the specter of nightmarish daily commutes and regional traffic detours for months or even years to come.
A perda da ponte também prejudicou as estradas de Baltimore, forçando os motoristas a passar por outras duas travessias portuárias congestionadas e aumentando o espectro de deslocamentos diários de pesadelo e desvios de tráfego regionais durante meses ou até anos.

The bridge, named for the author of the Star-Spangled Banner, carries about 31,000 vehicles across the harbor daily and serves as the main route for motorists between New York and Washington seeking to avoid downtown Baltimore. It opened in 1977.
A ponte, batizada em homenagem ao autor do Star-Spangled Banner, transporta diariamente cerca de 31 mil veículos pelo porto e serve como principal rota para motoristas entre Nova York e Washington que buscam evitar o centro de Baltimore. Foi inaugurado em 1977.

Tuesday's disaster may be the worst U.S. bridge collapse since 2007, when the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis plunged into the Mississippi River, killing 13 people.
O desastre de terça-feira pode ser o pior colapso de uma ponte nos EUA desde 2007, quando a ponte I-35W em Minneapolis mergulhou no rio Mississippi, matando 13 pessoas.

7 Signs Your EX Wants You Back

7 Signs Your EX Wants You Back


Have you ever broken off things with your partiner only to find out that they wanted to get back together with you all along?
Você já terminou com seu parceiro apenas para descobrir que ele queria voltar com você o tempo todo?

Maybe this is good news and you wanted to repair things with your ex and get back together too.
If you had known they felt the same way, you could have talked through your problems earlier and stayed together.
Or, maybe you didn't want to get back together.
If you had noticed the hints they were dropping about their lingering feelings for you, you could have made it clear to them that things wouldn't be able to work out again.
Whichever the case may be, here's seven proven signs your ex wants you back.

One, you receive drunk calls and/or texts from them.
You're resting cozy in you bed, settle down after a long and busy day, when suddently you phone lights up.
You reach out to find a new text from your ex.
Turns out their 3:00 am text may be more than just a drunk stupor.
Their drunk text show they're they're tinking of you, and being under the influence junst gives them more courage toexpress what they're feeling.
According to a 2011 study, the most common reason people make drunken phone calls is to confess their feelings, especialy those of love.
Your ex's true feelings in those drunken calls could be true and their drinking gave them the liquid courage to tell you, confident enough to confess their unconditional love for you through a slurred speech and hiccup at 3:00 am.

Two, theu mirror you and show open body language.
Oftentimes when you mimic another's behavior and gestures, it means you like them.
This mmicry of others is called the chamelen effect, and this can be a more subconscious way to show someone that you favor them.
People like people like themselves.
If your ex is still showing very open body language, holding eye contact and mimicking you behaviors as well, it could be a sign they subsconsciously still have feelings for you.

Three, they often bring up fondly shared memories.
Let's say youmeet up with your ex or run into them at a bar, what do you two find yourself talking about?
If your ex continously bringsup fondly shared memories, it could be a hint that they not only miss those moments spent with you, but in turn, they miss you as well.
By highlinghting the good times you spent together, they are trying to get you to remember what made you relationship work and what was great about the both of you.
Perhaps it's a way for them to try and win you back.

Four, they maintain a friendship after your breakup.
Yeas, some couples can still be friends agter a breakup, but if you find yourself talking to them more than your other firends, maybe your're than firends, or at least heading there.
Your ex may be trying to reconnect with you as a friend first, before trying to get back together.
If you work as friends and were once attached to each other, what's to stop you from getting together in the future.

Five, they ask others about you.
If you hear from your family and friends, that your ex has been asking about you, there may be a good reason.
Odds are your ex is trying to find out your relationship status or more likely they're to gauge if you still miss them or not.
If your friends and family tell them that you do miss them, don't be suprised if they come knocking on your door in hopes of a reconciliantion.

Six, liking and commenting more on your social media.
Did you and your ex decide to be friends after a breakup?
Perhaps you still comment and like each other's posts on social media.
If you find your ex is commenting more than they did when you were together, it may mean they're throwing some hints at you.
If they're complimenting your social media posts, it may mean they want to be more than just friends.

Seven, tey're taking action to change and they let you know.
Is your ex suddenly taking action after you breakup?
They're making some noticeable changes in their life that draw you in and going out of their way to let you know they're changed.
