English to Portuguese: Bear attack!
Source text - English It was a pleasant, sunny day in August in a coastal village in New Brunswick, Canada. Damian and Danny both 16, decided to go for a walk on one of the woodland trails near the village. The thought of danger on that trail never crossed their minds, but within minutes they found themselves in an unusual and terrifying three-hour ordeal!
Life is often like that, isn’t it? Things seem to be going quite smoothly, but then suddenly, without warning, there is a serious accident or disease which changes everything. God’s Word, the holy Bible, says in Proverbs 27:1 “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.”
Very soon Danny and Damian saw an osprey nest in a tree in a blueberry field and stopped on the trail to look at it. They became aware that everything was strangely quiet – too quiet. When they looked around, there, about 30 feet behind them, was a large, black bear! It gave the boys quite a start, but they weren’t too afraid because they had read that black bears were shy and passive. They began to slowly walk away.
Suddenly the bear charged them! The boys knew there was no chance of outrunning the bear, and due to a recent forest fire there were no trees to climb. They hit the dirt and played dead, tucking in their arms and legs. They desperately hoped the bear would lose interest in them and go away. However, for some unknown reason, this bear was not reacting like most black bears.
Translation - Portuguese Era um agradável e ensolarado dia de agosto em um vilarejo na costa de New Bruswick, Canadá. Damian e Danny, ambos com dezesseis anos, resolveram dar uma caminhada em uma das trilhas da floresta próxima à aldeia. Nunca lhes passou pela cabeça que pudesse existir qualquer perigo em andar por aquelas trilhas, mas não demorou para que se achassem envolvidos nas mais aterradoras três horas de suas vidas.
Geralmente a vida é assim. As coisas parecem estar bem tranquilas até que, de repente, sem nenhum aviso, acontece um acidente sério ou surge uma doença grave que muda tudo. A Palavra de Deus, a Bíblia sagrada, nos diz em Provérbios 27.1: “Não presumas do dia de amanhã, porque não sabes o que ele trará”.
Logo Danny e Damian encontraram um ninho de águia-pescadora sobre uma árvore em meio a um campo de amoreiras, e pararam para observá-lo. Eles notaram que tudo estava estranhamente quieto – quieto até demais. Quando olharam para trás, a menos de dez metros deles havia um enorme urso negro! Aquilo causou um imenso susto nos rapazes, mas não tiveram muito medo, pois haviam lido que os ursos negros costumam evitar as pessoas. Eles começaram então a se afastar vagarosamente.
Mas, de repente, o urso começou a correr em direção a eles. Os rapazes sabiam que é impossível se escapar de um urso correndo, e bem no lugar onde estavam não havia uma árvore baixa onde pudessem subir. Valendo-se de um último recurso, usado por caçadores em situações semelhantes, os dois se jogaram no chão e fingiram estar mortos, encolhendo-se para protegerem os braços e as pernas. Eles esperavam desesperadamente que o urso perdesse o interesse neles e fosse embora. Porém, por alguma razão desconhecida, o urso não estava reagindo como a maioria dos ursos negros.
