Source text - English The city that Sunday morning whas quiet. Those millions of New Yorkers who, by need or preference, remain in town over a summer week-end had been crushed spiriteless by humidity. Over the island hung a fog that smelled and felt like water in which too many sodawater glasses have been washed. Sitting at my desk, pen in hand, I treasured the sense that among those millions, only I, Waldo Lydecker, was up and doing.
Translation - Portuguese Naquele domingo de manhã a cidade estava calma. Os milhões de nova iorquinos que ficam em casa num fim-de-semana de verão, por necessidade ou por preferência, tinham acabado por serem dominados pelo torpor da huminade. Sobre a ilha pairava um nevoeiro que sabia e cheirava a água lavar pratos muito usada. Sentado na minha secretária, de caneta na mão, deliciava-me com a ideia de que, de entre todos estes milhões, apenas eu, Waldo Lydecker, estava activo.

Bio
I have a degree in Foreign Languages and Literature (French and English) and I worked several years for a Book Publisher as Copyrights manager and internal manager of the editorial process. During that time I did some extra job work as a translator and also as proof revisor. I translated some novels, a book about leadership and a boulletin about agriculture which was distributed in some African regions.
Presently I work in an insurance company in the Business Intelligence area. During the last years I have completed a specialization in Data Analysis and a post graduation in Business Intelligence.
I wish to continue working as a translator and decided that ProZ is the best platform to help me accomplish that goal.
