A importância da Língua Inglesa:

Sabe-se, hoje em dia, a importância do Inglês como um diferencial na tomada de decisões. O peso de uma língua estrangeira na hora de arranjar um emprego é muito grande! A quantidade de manuais, catálogos e etc em Inglês, são grandiosos. Então, pensando em adequar os alunos ao mundo concorrido de trabalho, vamos aprimorar o Skimming (leitura superficial de algo) e o Scanning (leitura mais aprofundada de algo) através do Inglês Instrumental. Para tanto, vamos ter algumas aulas de gramática antes de entrar nas aulas de tradução de texto.

Antes de tudo, gostaria que respondessem algumas perguntas:

3. FIRST TEXT

Agora que já estamos sabendo um pouco da gramática da Língua Inglesa, vamos traduzir o texto a seguir:

Leia o texto abaixo e responda às questões de 1 a 4:

3.1 .One Man in a Boat

Fishing is my favorite Sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But yhis does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything – not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. “You must give up fishing¹” my friends say. “It’s a waste of time.” But they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

4. SECOND TEXT

4.1. Tips - Pay attention in this text and look the tips: (Preste atenção no texto e olhe as dicas)

“ The fast changes in the logic levels of CMOS ICs cause current spikes that propagate throughout the

circuit. If the sensitive elements of this circuit are not decoupled, these spikes can affect their operation, which

causes them to go to undeterminated states. When designing printed circuit board for CMOS applications, the

designer must take care with the trails that supply power for the Ics and, when necessary, must decouple the

devices.”

(Do livro CMOS Sourcebook – Newton C. Braga – Prompt Publications)

VocabulárioFast changes – mudanças rápidas

Spikes – picos

Throughout – através

Sensitive – sensível, sensiveis

Decoupled – desacoplado, desacoplados

Printed Circuit Board – Placa de circuito impresso

Supply Power – tensão de alimentação

Devices – dispositivos, componentes

 Diversos são os termos técnicos utilizados em eletrônica que merecem um comentário mais profundo neste

texto.

O termo “fast changes” normalmente é indicado para expressar mudanças rápidas de tensão num circuito, quer

seja, uma mudança de nível lógico como também transientes. De qualquer forma, o termo “fast” (rápido) se

15

aplica nos casos em que os fenômenos envolvidos ocorrem num intervalo de tempo muito curto. O termo “spike”

é definido como “objetos ou pontas de metal agudas”, o verbo “spike” significa “picar”.

No entanto, na literatura técnica, principalmente relacionada com a eletrônica o termo spike se refere aos picos

de corrente ou tensão muito agudos, como por exemplo os transientes.

O termo Printed Circuit Board, significando placa de circuito impresso e que na literatura técnica em inglês é

abreviado por PCB, não deve ser confundido com Integrated Circuit (Circuito Integrado) que é abreviado por IC.

Assim, se levarmos em conta as abreviações em português para os dois termos (Circuito Impresso = CI) e

(Circuito Integrado = CI), a confusão não é muito difícil de se estabelecer.

Finalmente temos o termo “supply power” que envolve o termo “power” que já comentamos em outro artigo

desta série. Em inglês o termo “power” é usado para designar a alimentação dos circuitos, e “supply” significa

fornecer, prover, suprir quando na forma de verbo. Assim, “power supply” pode ser traduzido tanto como “fonte

de alimentação” como na forma inversa “supply power” como “suprimento de energia ou alimentação”, como é o

caso de nosso texto. Outro termo que aparece neste circuito é “sensitive” para designar “sensível”, devendo não ser confundido com

o termo “sensible” que indica “sensato”. As duas frases abaixo mostram a diferença no uso dos dois termos:

“I think that the most sensible thing to do is ask him what had happened”

“The author is sensitive to criticism...”

Com todas essas dicas, vamos agora traduzir o texto:

6. THIRD TEXT

6.1. Reverse Logistics

Retail and returns online The volume of returns made by the online North American consumers will total 90 million in 2005 - representing approximately 5.8 billion dollars. These numbers were estimated by the new research infrastructure, retail performed by Jupiter Media Metrix, the market intelligence company with international operations, which also shows that as you increase the volume of discards, lost significant opportunities for cost savings those retailers that focus solely on improving the processes associated with those returns. According to analysts at Jupiter, to realize the financial benefits, companies must maximize the value of returned products, improving all their reverse logistics systems, including collection and analysis of consumption data. "Several third-party solutions have emerged to address consumer concerns about the convenience and speed up the processing of returns," said Darren Bien, an analyst at Jupiter. "While these solutions address the grievances and desires of consumers, retailers must look beyond the process of returning to see the significant potential for cost reduction. They should focus on the benefits in cost reduction of an enhanced reverse logistics system, including three main elements: data collection, distribution of products and effective reporting. " The main findings of the latest research and forecasts of retail infrastructure conducted by Jupiter were discussed at the Jupiter Retailing Forum in Chicago, 21-22 May, which concentrated on the problems faced by online retailers, a sector of U.S. $ 36 billion, and Ground Zero 5 Conference in Boston, 22-24 May, which examined how the corporate world is developing and expanding its B2B strategy to capture the full power of the digital

17

revolution. Below are some important items:

The first step in creating an effective reverse logistics program is to collect the data needed to understand the reason why the consumer to make the return of the product. Even when the return policy is "do not ask questions", according to Jupiter analysts, retailers must collect data consistent and well structured with regard to the reason for the return and the condition of the product. Companies that fail to do this also fails to analyze trends in product categories and specific consumer segments, or correct the source of the problem by reducing or eliminating certain types of returns.

Jupiter analysts warn companies to maintain policies that address all returns uniformly, otherwise run the risk of jeopardizing the quality of data collected. For example, Jupiter analysts have found that after a well known retailer changed its return policy, restricting the payment of the freight only to damaged goods, damaged product returns have risen significantly, while the returns associated with consumer behavior decreased proportionally.

The effective reporting and analysis of data provided by consumers is critical to quickly identify trends in reverse logistics process and are a way to reduce the number of returns.

"Companies need to better understand the reasons that lead consumers to return their products," said Bien. "Data collection is the only alternative for these companies to reduce discards, identify trends and, more importantly, redistribute faster products."

7. FOURTH TEXT

7.1. Logistics

Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and often security. Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which adds the value of time and place utility.[clarification needed]

Today the complexity of production logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized and optimized by plant simulation software, but is constantly changing. This can involve anything from consumer goods such as food, to IT materials, to aerospace and defense equipment.

7.2. Origins and definition

The term logistics comes from the Greek logos (λόγος), meaning "speech, reason, ratio, rationality, language, phrase", and more specifically from the Greek word logistiki (λογιστική), meaning accounting and financial organization[citation needed].

Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, military officers with the title Logistikas were responsible for financial and supply distribution matters[citation needed].

The Oxford English Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting materiel, personnel and facilities." Another dictionary definition is "the time-related positioning of resources." As such, logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering that creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems". When talking in terms of human resources

19

management, logistics means giving inputs, i.e. "recruiting manpowers", which ultimately work for the final consumer or to delivery.

According to the Council of Logistics Management, logistics contains the integrated planning, control, realization and monitoring of all internal and network-wide material-, part- and product flow including the necessary information flow in industrial and trading companies along the complete value-added chain (and product life cycle) for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.

7.3. Main logistics targets

Logistics is one of the main functions within a company. The main targets of logistics can be divided into performance related and cost related. They are high due date reliability, short delivery times, low inventory level and high capacity utilization. But when decisions need to be made, there is always a trade off between these targets. This is what makes being a logistician challenging and interesting.
