English to Portuguese: element - Student Accomodation General field: Other Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English Experience the best of it all at element, with college sports arenas, major music venues and museums all just a short walk from your door.
At element, you’re a stone’s throw from campus and surrounded by LA highlights. On game day, cheer for the USC Trojans basketball team from the Galen Center bleachers, and spend the rest of your downtime exploring nearby Exposition Park. Lose yourself amidst the fragrant Rose Garden, take a tour of NASA’s Space Shuttle Endeavour at the California Science Center, or marvel at the real dinosaur fossils on display at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. In the evening, catch a play at quirky arts space 24th Street Theatre, or get your live music fix with a concert at the Shrine Auditorium.
Whether you choose a private bedroom at element or one shared with a friend, getting up for early morning lectures doesn’t have to be a chore. Roll out of bed, choose an outfit from your spacious closet, then make the 12-minute stroll to the University of Southern California. If you’ve got time to spare, stop on the way for a fresh fruit smoothie and a gourmet bagel at Nature’s Brew café. On weekends, exploring the rest of the city is equally easy, whether you choose to keep a car in the covered parking or walk across the road to the nearest bus stop.
At the end of the day, come home to your fully furnished townhouse. Let the air conditioning breeze over you as you walk through the door, then curl up on the living room couch and use the high-speed internet to catch up on your emails. Later, grab your iPod and head to the fitness center for a re-energising workout, then rinse off with a shower in your bathroom before dressing in your swimsuit for a session by the pool. On your way downstairs, put a load on to wash in the apartment laundry facility.
After your swim, spend a moment working on your tan and swapping stories with your friends on the terrace lounge. Invite everyone over for a potluck dinner in your townhouse’s kitchen, then stack the plates in the dishwasher and get ready to watch the big game on your satellite TV. When you feel like going out for a meal instead, head to popular student hangout spot Bacaro L.A. for Italian small plates and grilled pizza, or to La Barca for authentic Mexican food.
Translation - Portuguese Na element, você terá tudo de bom e do melhor, com arenas esportivas, grandes casas de shows e museus a uma curta distância a pé.
Você também estará bastante próximo à universidade e às atrações de Los Angeles. Nos dias de jogos de basquete, torça pelo USC Trojans nas arquibancadas da arena Galen Center e, depois, passe o resto do dia passeando pelo Exposition Park. Sinta o cheiro agradável de um jardim de rosas; visite um ônibus espacial da NASA no California Science Center; ou admire fósseis de dinossauros no Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. À noite, assista a uma peça no 24th Street Theatre, um espaço de arte inusitado, ou desfrute de música ao vivo na casa de espetáculos Shrine Auditorium.
Independentemente de você escolher morar em um quarto particular ou compartilhar com um amigo, acordar cedo na element não será um sacrifício. Saia da cama e escolha uma roupa bacana no seu armário espaçoso e, depois, caminhe até a University of Southern California em 12 minutos. Se você tiver um tempinho sobrando, pare no caminho para tomar uma vitamina de frutas frescas e comer um bagel no Nature’s Brew café. Você também vai ver como é fácil explorar o resto da cidade nos fins de semana, seja com um carro, que pode ser guardado no estacionamento coberto da acomodação, ou de ônibus, que passa do outro lado da rua.
No fim do dia, volte para a sua acomodação e sinta-se confortável em um ambiente totalmente mobiliado. Tenha o prazer de chegar em casa e sentir o ar condicionado refrescando o seu corpo. Depois, sente-se no sofá da sala de estar e utilize a Internet de alta velocidade para ler seus e-mails. Mais tarde, pegue o seu iPod e vá malhar na academia da element. Quando terminar, tome um banho refrescante no seu banheiro, coloque a sua sunga ou maiô e vá nadar na piscina. Não se esqueça de colocar as suas roupas para lavar na lavanderia da acomodação quando descer para ir à piscina.
Depois de nadar, pegue um bronzeado enquanto bate um papo com seus amigos no lounge do terraço. Convide-os para uma festinha americana na cozinha da sua acomodação e, depois, coloque os pratos na máquina de lavar louça. Depois de todos estarem de barriga cheia, é chegada a hora de assistir a uma grande partida de futebol americano na sua televisão por satélite! Mas se você preferir comer fora, vá ao Bacaro L.A., um restaurante famoso entre os estudantes, para comer pizza e pequenos pratos de comida italiana. Alternativamente, confira o La Barca para comer uma autêntica comida mexicana.
