TEXTO Demonstrative Adjectives The demonstrative adjectives ``this,'' ``these,'' ``that,'' ``those,'' and ``what'' are identical to the demonstrative pronouns, but are used as adjectives to modify nouns or noun phrases, as in the following sentences: When the librarian tripped over that cord, she dropped a pile of books. In this sentence, the demonstrative adjective ``that'' modifies the noun ``cord'' and the noun phrase ``that cord'' is the object of the preposition ``over.'' This apartment needs to be fumigated. Here ``this'' modifies ``apartment'' and the noun phrase ``this apartment'' is the subject of the sentence. Even though my friend preferred those plates, I bought these. In the subordinate clause, ``those'' modifies ``plates'' and the noun phrase ``those plates'' is the object of the verb ``preferred.'' In the independent clause, ``these'' is the direct object of the verb ``bought.'' Note that the relationship between a demonstrative adjective and a demonstrative pronoun is similar to the relationship between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun, or to that between a interrogative adjective and an interrogative pronoun. Written by Heather MacFadyen http://www.arts.uottawa.ca/writcent/hypergrammar/adjectve.html Business this week Jul 3rd 2008 From The Economist print edition UBS made some changes to its corporate-governance procedures and announced that four directors would leave its board in October. The Swiss bank has been hit hard by the problems in subprime markets, writing down some $38 billion so far; its management has been criticised by shareholders and regulators for failing to spot the crisis. The bank’s troubles are not over yet. Investors expect further write-downs and American authorities are investigating allegations that UBS helped wealthy clients to evade taxes. http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=11671636&CFID=12755023&CFTOKEN =43000888 Página 1 WWW.ADINOEL.COM Adinoél Sebastião Inglês – tradução livre 07/07/2008 – Tradução No. 407 TRADUÇÃO LIVRE No. 407 Demonstrative Adjectives Adjetivos Demonstrativos The demonstrative adjectives ``this,'' ``these,'' ``that,'' ``those,'' and ``what'' are identical to the demonstrative pronouns, but are used as adjectives to modify nouns or noun phrases, as in the following sentences: Os adjetivos demonstratives “this”, “these”, “that”, “those” e “what” são idênticos aos pronomes demonstratives, mas são usados como adjetivos para modificar substantivos ou frase substantivas, como as sentenças seguintes: This = este, esta, isto. These = estes, estas, isto. That = esse, essa, aquele, aquela, aquilo. Those = esses, essas, aqueles, aquelas. What = que, qual, quais. When the librarian tripped over that cord, she dropped a pile of books. Quando a bibliotecária tropeçou sobre aquela corda, ela deixou cair uma pilha de livros. In this sentence, the demonstrative adjective ``that'' modifies the noun ``cord'' and the noun phrase ``that cord'' is the object of the preposition ``over.'' Nesta sentença, o adjetivo demonstrativo “that” (aquela) modifica o substantivo “corda” e a frase substantiva “that cord” (aquela corda) é o objeto da preposição “over” (sobre). This apartment needs to be fumigated. Este apartamento necessita ser fumigado. Here ``this'' modifies ``apartment'' and the noun phrase ``this apartment'' is the subject of the sentence. Aqui “this” (este) modifica “apartament” (apartamento) e o a frase substantivo “this apartment” (este apartamento) é o sujeito da sentença. Even though my friend preferred those plates, I bought these. Embora meu amigo preferisse aquelas gravuras, eu comprei estas. In the subordinate clause, ``those'' modifies ``plates'' and the noun phrase ``those plates'' is the object of the verb ``preferred.'' In the independent clause, ``these'' is the direct object of the verb ``bought.'' Na oração subordinada, “those” (aquelas) modifica “plates” (gravuras) e a frase substantiva “those plates” (aquelas gravuras) é o objeto do verbo “preferred”. Na oração independente, “these” (esta) é o objeto direto do verbo “bought”. Note that the relationship between a demonstrative adjective and a demonstrative pronoun is similar to the relationship between a possessive adjective and a possessive pronoun, or to that between a interrogative adjective and an interrogative pronoun. Note essa a relação entre um adjetivo demonstrativo e um pronome demonstrativo é parecida com a relação entre um adjetivo possessivo e um pronome possessivo, ou aquela entre um adjetivo interrogativo e um pronome interrogativo.

UBS fez algumas mudanças em seus procedimentos do corpo diretivo e anunciou que quatro diretores deixariam seu grupo em outubro. The Swiss bank has been hit hard by the problems in subprime markets, writing down some $38 billion so far; its management has been criticised by shareholders and regulators for failing to spot the crisis. O banco suiço tem sido golpeado forte pelos problemas nos mercados “subprime”, baixando 38 bilhões de dólares; sua direção tem sido criticada pelos acionistas e reguladores por falhar em reconhecer a crise. The bank’s troubles are not over yet. Investors expect further write-downs and American authorities are investigating allegations that UBS helped wealthy clients to evade taxes. Os problemas do banco não acima ainda. Os investidores esperam ajuda e as autoridades americanas estão investigando alegações que o UBS ajudou clientes ricos para evadir tributos. Página 3
