When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

ossos do ofício
"Quanto a constrangimentos que enfrentei no exercício do cargo, como o aqui relatado, penso que são os ossos do ofício de quem aceita uma função pública."
http://www.e-agora.org.br/arquivo/No-borboleta/
Em espanhol:
Gajes del oficio y occupational hazard son 2 conceptos completamente diferentes. La traducción más acertada de "gajes del oficio" sería "all in a day's work".
...Conozco ambos términos y siempre he pensado que son lo mismo:
all in a day's work - gajes del oficio
occupational hazard - gajes del oficio

Gajes del oficio
English: Part and parcel of a job

Ainda que existam "ossos do ofício", como em qualquer outra atividade, escrever sobre ciência é uma possibilidade de dar boas notícias aos leitores. E existem muitas para serem publicadas sem nenhuma necessidade de manipulação.
Para muitas pessoas que trabalham na construção, quer sejam trabalhadores ou empregadores, os acidentes nas obras ainda são “ossos do ofício”, como uma espécie de tributo a pagar a um deus estranho e senhor dos nossos destinos

: "All in a day's work" is the other one I was trying to think of!
