Portuguese to English: Don’t Take an Elderly Lady for a Fool! General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Other
Source text - Portuguese Há muito humor em Agatha Christie. Seja nas esquisitices do detetive Hercule Poirot ou na sátira quase maldosa ao comportamento das classes mais abastadas da sociedade britânica. Mas é com a personagem Miss Marple que a autora parece insistir em ironia e sarcasmo.
“Um Corpo na Biblioteca”, sexto volume da Coleção Folha O Melhor de Agatha Christie, chega às bancas no próximo domingo (30) com a obra que mais agradou os fãs da detetive amadora, lançada em 1942.
Da mesma forma que Agatha Christie viveu a dificuldade de ser mulher ao começar a publicar romances policiais na década de 1920, ela repassou a Miss Marple as agruras de uma figura feminina num mundo tão masculino quanto o dos policiais e investigadores.
Na trama, uma jovem de 18 anos é encontrada morta às sete horas da manhã, na biblioteca da mansão Gossington, dos Bantry, um casal de aposentados que não tem nenhuma relação aparente com a vítima. A polícia vai cuidar do caso, mas a senhora Bantry conhece há tempos Miss Marple e trata de chamar a amiga.
Ao mesmo tempo em que os indícios para a resolução do mistério aparecem nas investigações, o humor refinado da escritora surge dos homens no caso, o coronel Melchett e o capitão Slack, descrentes de qualquer valor na colaboração de Miss Marple.
É divertido ver como a simpática velhinha vai deitar e rolar em cima dos marmanjos. Mais uma vez Agatha Christie mostra seu carinho por Miss Marple, sua personagem favorita, apesar do maior sucesso de Poirot.
Translation - English Agatha Christie is very humorous. In the work of this best-selling author, hints of humor are evident in the characterization of Hercule Poirot, one of Agatha’s world-renowned characters, and in the social satire that portrays the wealthy society in Britain. However, it is in the characterization of Miss Marple that the author seems to further the use of dramatic irony and sarcasm.
“The Body in the Library,” one the most crowd-pleasing books released in 1942, is now the sixth book of a collection - The Best of Agatha Christie Books - released by Grupo Folha, a Brazilian media conglomerate. This lovely publication will be available to aficionados next Sunday, June 30. In this fiction, Miss Marple inherits from the author, a leading female figure in the 20s, the same adversities that any female figure acting as a detective in a male-predominant field would encounter.
In the plot, a young 18-year-old teenage girl is found dead at 7:00 am in in the library of Gossington Hall, home to a retired couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bantry, who shows no apparent relationship with the victim. As the police start the investigation, Mrs. Bantry makes a clear request that Miss Marple, an old trusted friend, takes over the case.
As the investigation seems to come closer to a resolution, the refined humor of the author focuses on the male figures in the plot, Colonel Melchett and Inspector Slack, whose skepticism about Miss Marple’s abilities to solve the case grows overtime. Both ill-mannered male figures are constantly disregarding any contribution provided by Miss Marple in relation to the case.
As the plot unfolds, it is satisfying seeing how the elderly amateur sleuth outsmarts the ill-mannered men. Once again Agatha Christie shows her love for Miss Marple, her favorite character, even when the public claims that Miss Marple is overshadowed by Poirot’s success.

Bio
Since 2008, I've proudly embraced my identity as a New Yorker, starting with my Master's Degree at the City College of New York. I'm currently a full-time educator and part-time translator in NYC, with roots tracing back to Brazil, where I specialized in translation and interpreting in 2002.
Having obtained certification in Medical, Law, Finance, and Tech/Engineering translation from NYU in 2011, I furthered my commitment with a two and a half-year professional translator/interpreter training, completing it in June 2023.
My translation expertise spans Literature, Legal, Medical, Law, Finance, and Tech/Engineering, and I now offer Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) for Market Research Interviews, AI Tools & Fraud Detection, and Exploratory Meetings.
Recently, I've pursued a Medical Interpreter training with AALB, recognized by IMIA. Now I'm a Core Certified CCHI Health Care Interpreter. In Medical Interpretation, I bring diverse experience, ensuring culturally competent communication, adherence to ethical standards, and compliance with healthcare regulations.
Beyond healthcare, I provide interpretation services for AI & Fraud Detection clients and excel in Market Research Interviews across various industries. Additionally, my translation services cater to Brazilian clients with an average processing speed of 400 words per hour.
Trained in RSI and remote consecutive interpretation in finance, civil society, and government, I guarantee accurate and effective communication. My commitment to excellence is reflected in a 100% satisfaction rate, delivering timely and accurate translations. Specializing in PT-EN/EN-PT, I uphold grammar, clarity, and tone standards, employing advanced search engines and specialized dictionaries for technical term research.
Whether in conferences or classrooms, I build effective work relationships through exceptional communication and problem-solving skills, maintaining the meaning and fluency of messages in the target language.
When I am not working I enjoy traveling, going to restaurants, swimming and hiking. I also enjoy DJing and at times I get a gig every now and then.
