Falamos aqui ontem sobre o sufixo “wise” , seu uso e significado, clique aqui para ler o post. E como prometido, vamos falar da palavra “otherwise”.
Em português, a equivalência mais comum para “otherwise” é “senão” ou “caso contrário”. Veja estes exemplos:
You should tell her the true story. Otherwise, she’ll get upset with you. Você deveria contar-lhe a verdadeira história. Caso contrário, ela ficará chateada com você.
Gee, I think you should see a doctor about it. Otherwise, it’ll just get worse and worse. Xiii, eu acho que você devia procurar um médico a respeito disso. Caso contrário, só ficará cada vez pior.
Pay attention. Otherwise, you’ll make a mistake. Preste atenção. Caso contrário você cometerá um erro.
Watch your step. Otherwise, you’ll get hurt. Tome cuidado. Caso contrário você vai se machucar.
Have a break. Otherwise, you’ll get sick. Faça uma pausa. Caso contrário você ficará doente.
Write it down, otherwise, you’ll forget it. Anote, senão você vai esquecer.
Go home; otherwise, your mother will worry. Vá pra casa; senão, sua mãe vai ficar preocupada.
Finish your dinner. Otherwise, you won’t get any dessert. Termine seu jantar. Senão você não vai ganhar sobremesa.
Veja como “otherwise” pode também ser utilizado no final da frase.
Thank you for reminding me; I might have missed the meeting otherwise. Obrigado por me lembrar. Caso contrário, eu poderia ter perdido a reunião (se você não tivesse me avisado).
The test helps identify problems that might go unnoticed otherwise. O teste ajuda a identificar problemas que passariam despercebidos, se o teste não tivesse acontecido.
Outra equivalência comum para “otherwise” é “o contrário”. Para compreender melhor, veja estes exemplos:
He claims to be innocent, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Ele diz ser inocente mas as evidências indicam o contrário.
Although her political rivals would have us believe otherwise, she would be an excellent President. Apesar dos rivais políticos terem nos convencido do contrário, ela seria uma excelente presidente.
You know what happened, so don’t try to pretend otherwise. Você sabe o que aconteceu, não tente fingir o contrário.
