(Originais Teachy 2023) - Questão Muito Difícil de Inglês

In English, false friends are pairs of words from different languages that are similar in form but have different meanings. For example, the English word 'library' is not a place to buy books, as the Portuguese 'livraria', but a place to borrow them, as 'biblioteca' in Portuguese. This phenomenon can cause confusion and misunderstandings in language learning and translation. Read the following excerpt from a short story and answer the questions below: 'As she walked through the vast corridors of the college, she couldn't help but notice the 'fabric' of history embedded in the walls. Each brick seemed to tell a story, and she felt like a 'craftsman' putting together the pieces of an ancient puzzle.' Based on the context provided, identify and explain the meaning of the false friends 'fabric' and 'craftsman' as they are used in the story, providing the correct translation of the words in Portuguese. Additionally, discuss the potential consequences of misinterpreting these words in a different context, such as a professional translation or a language learning exercise.
