תרגום - פורטוגזית ברזילאית-אנגלית - O que é bom e pra si, o que sobra é do outro.

I can see that it's "pra" and "do" in the original, but does this make sense in Portuguese? It definitely doesn't in English.

A free parafrase could be:

"The good things are for myself and the rest is for the others"

I think that Rodrigues meant

"What's good is for oneself, what's left is FOR the others."

The only thing, what irritates is, that there is written "é do outro" <=> "is from the other" instead of "é para o outro" <=> "is for the other" ??

That's what I meant - I don't think we can change the original that drastically.

then this is still better..:
"e" => "and".
or written w/ error? "é" = "is", "e" = "and".

This makes absolutely no sense in English. Could someone ask rodrigo148 (in Portuguese) to confirm what he meant?

I've written to him. I would now like to wait for his answer.

If what's left is from the others, what's good is for oneself.

Se o que sobra é para o outro, o que é bom é para si...

Rodrigues wrote:
"é do outro" <=> "is from the other"

But in this context this equivalence isn't true.

The "do" here means "belongs to". What is left belongs to or will be left to the other after oneself have taken what he believes are the good things.

This sounds like a good explanation, Borges, but since Rodrigues has written to the requester, let's wait until we hear back from him.

I've decided to make the correction as Borges suggested and accept the translation.

The requester didn't answer till today...
The correction was done fine by kafetzou.
