Taking a taxi
"Olá. Eu gostaria de ir à Avenida Churchill número 51, por favor.""Hello. I would like to go to 51 Churchill Avenue, please."
"Claro madame. Esse é o endereço de um hospital, não é?"Of course, madam. That is a hospital, isn't it?"
"Sim, é sim. Vou visitar a minha sogra. Ela caiu da escada e quebrou o quadril.""Yes, it is. I am going to visit my mother-in-law. She fell down some stairs and broke her hip."
"Sinto muito. Você faz bem em visitá-la. As pessoas em geral não gostam das sogras"."I am sorry to hear that. It is nice of you to go and see her. People usually don't like their mothers-in-law."
"Isso é verdade, mas a minha sogra é uma mulher muito boa e gosto muito dela.""That's true, but my mother-in-law is a very nice woman, and I like her very much."
"Eu queria que a minha sogra fosse assim. Ela é sempre tão desagradável comigo.""I wish my mother-in-law was like that. She is always very unpleasant to me."
"Que pena. Por que você acha que ela não gosta de você?"That's a shame. Why do you think she doesn't like you?"
"Eu não sei. Sou sempre muito simpático com ela. Talvez ela não goste de taxistas.""I don't know. I am always nice to her. Maybe she just does not like taxi drivers."
"É possível. Muitas pessoas não gostam de taxistas.""That is possible. Many people dislike taxi drivers."
"Sim, é verdade. Mas não entendo o porquê.""Yes, that is true. But I don't understand why."
"Eu também não.""I don't either."
