10 August 2007 19:56 | | | casper, this is good - you got "phoenix rising from the ashes", which is the usual expression, but "overcoming" should not be preceded by "the", and "mystique" doesn't sound right. What is meant here? | | |
10 August 2007 20:10 | | | First time I wrote rising, then I changed to arising (is the verb I saw on wikipedia once).
'Superação' is when one reach a goal.
That's the reason for my note on 'overcoming', as noun, that's why I put the article.
'A mÃstica' is like 'the magic'.
Anyway, this a silly text, because they try to use 'hard' words to look more important, but 'representatividade' has nothing to do with all this. Is a word used on business, etc. | | |
10 August 2007 20:20 | | | Maybe "magic" would be better than "mystique" then. | | |
10 August 2007 20:22 | | | Abstract nouns, like "love", "hate", "war", "winning", and "overcoming" are not preceded by the definite article (when they are being used in the abstract sense) in English. | | |
10 August 2007 20:38 | | | I knew this, but not that overcoming would be there too.
Thanks.
I've changed.
But in portuguese, we put comma on the sentence between other two, like a parentesys:
The phoenix is the magic of overcoming.
and an explanation about the phoenix (rising from the ashes) between the subject and the object.
I don't know why do people write 'phoenix bird'. Is there a 'phoenix horse' or a 'phoenix echidna'? |
