Talvez você me considere burra por não saber a data exata da revolução francesa, mas ignorância não é burrice nem ofensa, é uma condição. Por exemplo, acho que você deve ser ignorante sobre movimento nuclear de partículas aceleradas, mas não saber algo tão especifico não torna alguém "burro".


Eu não lembrava a data, mas isso pouco importaria se eu não soubesse o que representou a revolução francesa, e eu sabendo, pouco importaria se eu não soubesse utilizar isso para coisas efetivamente questionáveis, ou seja, a data fica para trás nas importâncias.

Target language: English

Perhaps you think I'm stupid for not knowing the exact date of the French Revolution, but ignorance is not stupidity or offense, it's a condition. For example, I think you must be ignorant about nuclear motion of accelerated particles, but not knowing something so specific does not make someone "stupid".

I did not remember the date, but that would have little importance if I did not know what the French Revolution meant, and if I knew, that would have little importance if I didn't know how to use it on effectively questionable things, therefore, the date is left behind in importance.

Maybe you could put "left way behind" in the last sentence?

As usual, the rest is perfect

I know it may sound a bit weird in English (so does it in Portuguese), but the original says that "the date is left behind in importance" (not left behind as forgotten or overcome, but in a lower degree of importance)

bem, eu trocaria o termo stupid por dunce, pois aqui no Brasil usamos a palavra burro como adjetivo para pessoas com baixa ou nenhuma capacidade intelectual, então acredito que a tradução sairia mais fiel a intenção do autor se no correspondente em inglês fosse usado um termo mais específico.

laudanno, please give your motivation in English, although I can manage quite a bit of Brazilian Portuguese, I'm not THAT good at it
