Prefácio
Quando um brasileiro usa o inglês como segunda língua, é quase
inevitável que haja uma "contaminação" linguística, isto é, uma interferên-
cia do português na estrutura e no léxico da língua inglesa, gerando, por
conta disso, situações às vezes embaraçosas.Deixemos, no entanto, a estru-
tura do inglês de lado. Este livro visa tão somente identificar e corrigir os
erros mais frequentes que se cometem no vastíssimo campo do léxico, sem
a preocupação de enveredar pelas regras gramaticais. Que tipos de erros?
Vejamos alguns exemplos:

• Quando alguém faz aniversário, os familiares e amigos

não se reúnem em torno do bolo e cantam "Happy
anniversary to you ..:', porque birthday e anniversary
devem ser usados em contextos diferentes;

• Horse significa cavalo, mas numa partida de xadrez você não

toma o horse do seu adversário, mas sim o knight dele;

• Se você acha que o árbitro está prejudicando seu time, não

xingue o arbiter ou o judge. Dirija sua ira contra o referee;

• Se alguém espirra, convém não dizer health: não

diga nada ou então diga "God bless you",

• Aquela tia que você não vê há muito tempo é sua aunt

e não ant, que, por sinal, quer dizer formiga;

• Num restaurante, se você quiser um bife, não peça beef

Prefira steak, já que beef significa carne bovina;

• Uma pessoa inteligente, espirituosa e esperta não é,

necessariamente, um expert e sim smart, uma vez que essas
palavras pertencem a classes gramaticais diferentes;

• Se, infelizmente, você for vítima de um assalto, não grite

"I've been stolen!" e sim "I've been robbed!', porque
rob se refere a pessoas ou lugares e steal a coisas;

• Se o seu trabalho é exaustivo, não reclame que ele é exhaustive,

diga exhausting, pois exhaustive quer dizer meticuloso, minucioso;

5
 • Se alguém lhe dá algum disinterested advice, não pense que o
conselho não seja interessante. Considere que a pessoa deu
o conselho sem nenhum interesse pessoal da parte dela;

• Se você pretend to do something, cuidado: as pessoas poderão

achá-lo falso, já que pretend é fingir e não pretender;

• Por fim, se tiver alguma dúvida, raise your hand, em vez de

rise your hand, uma vez que rise é um verbo intransitivo.

Quando um brasileiro faz uso da língua inglesa está sujeito
a contaminações linguisticas, devido a interferências do
português, gerando por conta disso alguns erros, às vezes
grosseiros, e situações embaraçosas. Veja alguns exemplos:
• Utilizar happy annivesary em vez de happy birthday
• Em uma partida de xadrez usar a palavra horse para
designar cavalo,quando o correto seria knight
• Em um restaurante pedir um beef em vez de steak.
• Achar que pretend é pretender quando na
verdade é fingir; ou achar que uma pessoa
esperta é expert quando na verdade é smart.
Os exemplos são inúmeros, e o que este livro pretende
é identificar e corrigir esses erros tão comuns, de forma
prática e objetiva, sem enveredar pelas regras gramaticais.
O livro contém exemplos de frases comparando
palavras que confundem acompanhadas de tradução,
além de inúmeros exercícios com respostas.
