Phrasal verbs<\/em> s\u00e3o a jun\u00e7\u00e3o entre um verbo e uma preposi\u00e7\u00e3o, e que t\u00eam um significado diferente do verbo isoladamente. \u00c9 como se o verbo mudasse de sentido por causa da preposi\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n

Uma coisa a ser considerada \u00e9 que alguns deles s\u00e3o separ\u00e1veis, enquanto outros n\u00e3o.

Today, as always, we\u2019ll present to you three of the week’s biggest news stories,100% in English, for you to train your listening and comprehension. After each story, we\u2019ll also hone in and teach in Portuguese a few key points of interest taken from the stories.<\/p>\n

Enough of me talking! Let\u2019s get started with the news! Our first story today is about the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman.<\/p>\n

Chadwick Boseman, who played Black American icons Jackie Robinson and James Brown with searing intensity before inspiring audiences worldwide as the regal Black Panther in Marvel\u2019s blockbuster movie franchise, died Friday of cancer. He was 43.<\/p>\n

Boseman died at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, his family said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cA true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much,\u201d his family said. \u201cFrom Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson\u2019s Ma Rainey\u2019s Black Bottom and several more – all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T\u2019Challa to life in Black Panther.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boseman had not spoken publicly about his diagnosis. He is survived by his wife and a parent and had no children, Fioravante said.<\/p>\n

Born in South Carolina, Boseman graduated from Howard University and had small roles in television before his first-star turn in 2013. His striking portrayal of the stoic baseball star Robinson opposite Harrison Ford in 2013\u2032s \u201c42\u201d drew attention in Hollywood and made him a star.<\/p>\n

A year later, he wowed audiences as Brown in the biopic \u201cGet On Up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boseman died on a day that Major League Baseball was celebrating Jackie Robinson day. \u201cHis transcendent performance in \u201842\u2019 will stand the test of time and serve as a powerful vehicle to tell Jackie\u2019s story to audiences for generations to come,\u201d the league wrote in a tweet.<\/p>\n

Expressions of shock and despair poured in late Friday from fellow actors, athletes, musicians, Hollywood titans, fans and politicians. Viola Davis, who acted alongside Boseman in \u201cGet On Up\u201d and an upcoming August Wilson adaptation, tweeted: \u201cChadwick…..no words to express my devastation of losing you. Your talent, your spirit, your heart, your authenticity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a crushing blow\u201d actor and director Jordan Peele said on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Disney executive chairman Bob Iger called Boseman \u201can extraordinary talent, and one of the most gentle and giving souls I have ever met. He brought enormous strength, dignity and depth to his groundbreaking role of Black Panther.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCaptain America\u201d actor Chris Evans called Boseman \u201ca true original. He was a deeply committed and constantly curious artist. He had so much amazing work still left to create.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden tweeted that Boseman \u201cinspired generations and showed them they can be anything they want \u2014 even superheroes.\u201d<\/p>\n

His T\u2019Challa character was first introduced to the blockbuster Marvel movies in 2016\u2032s \u201cCaptain America: Civil War,\u201d and his \u201cWakanda Forever\u201d salute reverberated around the world after the release of \u201cBlack Panther\u201d two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think the world was ready for a \u2018Black Panther\u2019 movie before this moment. Socially and politically, it wasn\u2019t ready for it,\u201d he told AP at the time.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s vision of Afrofuturism and the technologically advanced civilization of Wakanda resonated with audiences, some of whom wore African attire to showings and helped propel \u201cBlack Panther\u201d to more than $1.3 billion in global box office. It is the only Marvel Studios film to receive a best picture Oscar nomination.<\/p>\n

Boseman said he more easily identified with the film\u2019s antagonist, played by Michael B. Jordan, who had been cut off from his ancestral roots: \u201cI was born with some Killmonger in me, and I have learned to T\u2019Challa throughout my studies,\u201d he said while promoting the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the place where you start. All African Americans, unless they have some direct connection, have been severed from that past. There\u2019s things that cannot be tracked,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou were a product, sold. So it\u2019s very difficult as an African American to connect at some points directly to Africa. I have made that part of my search in my life. So those things were already there when I got into the role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even at the outset of his Hollywood career, Boseman was clear-eyed about \u2014 and even skeptical of \u2014 the industry in which he would become an international star.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have the same exact experience as a Black actor as you do as a white actor. You don\u2019t have the same opportunities. That\u2019s evident and true,\u201d he told AP while promoting \u201c42.\u201d \u201cThe best way to put it is: How often do you see a movie about a black hero who has a love story … he has a spirituality. He has an intellect. It\u2019s weird to say it, but it doesn\u2019t happen that often.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Robinson and Brown, Boseman portrayed the future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall in 2017\u2032s \u201cMarshall.\u201d He humanized the larger-than-life historical figures with the same reserved dignity \u2014 interrupted by flashes of sparkling wit \u2014 that he would later bring to T\u2019Challa.<\/p>\n

Asked about his own childhood heroes and icons, Boseman cited Black political leaders and musicians: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Bob Marley, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest and Prince. Deeply private and often guarded in his public appearances and interviews, he made clear that he understood the significance of his work and its impact on the broader culture.<\/p>\n

At the 2019 Screen Actors Guild Award, \u201cBlack Panther\u201d won best ensemble, electrifying the room. Before an auditorium full of actors, Chadwick Boseman stepped to the microphone. He quoted Nina Simone: \u201cTo be young, gifted and black,\u201d and put the moment in context.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know what it\u2019s like to be told there isn\u2019t a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to be featured on. … We know what\u2019s like to be beneath and not above. And that is what we went to work with every day,\u201d said Boseman. \u201cWe knew that we could create a world that exemplified a world we wanted to see. We knew that we had something to give.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enquanto eu falava sobre essa hist\u00f3ria, eu usei algumas express\u00f5es que talvez voc\u00ea n\u00e3o conhe\u00e7a. Como \u201ccut off\u201d e \u201cgot into\u201d. Essas express\u00f5es s\u00e3o exemplos de phrasal verbs, uma estrutura MUITO comum em ingl\u00eas. Ela \u00e9 formada por um verbo e uma preposi\u00e7\u00e3o, que muda o significado do verbo. Por exemplo, o verbo \u201cstand\u201d significa \u201cficar em p\u00e9\u201d, mas quando acrescido da preposi\u00e7\u00e3o \u201cby\u201d, fica \u201cstand by\u201d, que significa \u201cem espera\u201d. Na descri\u00e7\u00e3o deste epis\u00f3dio voc\u00ea vai encontrar outros exemplos de phrasal verbs e como us\u00e1-los. Al\u00e9m disso, o Rhavi tem alguns v\u00eddeos e um dicion\u00e1rio de Phrasal Verbs falando dessas estruturas, e os links v\u00e3o estar l\u00e1 no descri\u00e7\u00e3o no Fleuncytv.com tamb\u00e9m.<\/p>\n

Voltando aos dois exemplos que eu mencionei. \u201cCut\u201d significa \u201ccortar\u201d, e \u201coff\u201d significa \u201cfora\u201d, mas o phrasal verb significa \u201cinterromper\u201d, \u201cterminar\u201d. Legal, n\u00e9? Voc\u00ea n\u00e3o precisa memorizar essas estruturas, n\u00e3o se preocupe. Com o contato com a l\u00edngua, esses phrasal verbs v\u00e3o aparecer naturalmente no seu vocabul\u00e1rio.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s continue! Our second story of the day comes from North-East Africa, as Sudan signs a peace deal with rebel groups from Darfur.<\/p>\n

The agreement provides for the dismantling of rebel forces and the integration of their fighters into the national army.<\/p>\n

Sudan’s government and the main rebel alliance agreed on a peace deal on Monday to end 17 years of conflict.<\/p>\n

The Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF), a coalition of rebel groups from the western region of Darfur and the southern states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, signed the peace agreement at a ceremony in Juba, the capital of neighboring South Sudan, which has hosted and helped mediate the long-running talks since late 2019.<\/p>\n

The final agreement covers key issues around security, land ownership, transitional justice, power-sharing, and the return of people who fled their homes because of war.<\/p>\n

It also provides for the dismantling of rebel forces and the integration of their fighters into the national army.<\/p>\n

The deal is a significant step in the transitional leadership’s goal of resolving multiple, deeply rooted civil conflicts.<\/p>\n

The US, UK, and Norway in a joint statement on Monday said they welcomed the peace agreement as a first step in rebuilding stability in the country.<\/p>\n

“It is an important step in restoring security, dignity, and development to the population of Sudan’s conflict-affected and marginalized areas. We believe the formal agreement must be followed up with local peace and reconciliation efforts in the conflict-affected areas,” the countries said in the statement.<\/p>\n

About 300,000 people have been killed in Darfur since rebels took up arms there in 2003, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Nile erupted in 2011, following unresolved issues from bitter fighting there in Sudan’s 1983-2005 civil war.<\/p>\n

Two rebel factions refused to take part in the deal.<\/p>\n

Leaders of the SRF raised their fists in celebration after signing the agreement.<\/p>\n

Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok and several ministers flew to Juba on Sunday, the official news agency SUNA reported, where he met South Sudan President Salva Kiir.<\/p>\n

Hamdok said finding a deal had taken longer than first hoped after an initial agreement in September 2019.<\/p>\n

Both military chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Hamdok were in attendance on Monday, while Kiir oversaw the ceremony.<\/p>\n

The rebel forces took up arms against what they said was the economic and political marginalization by the government in Khartoum.<\/p>\n

They are largely drawn from non-Arab minority groups that long railed against Arab domination of successive governments in Khartoum, including that of toppled President Omar al-Bashir.<\/p>\n

The rebel groups that signed the agreement include the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) and Minni Minawi’s Sudan Liberation Army (SLA), both of the western region of Darfur.<\/p>\n

Rebel members of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) had provisionally initialed the agreement with the government late on Saturday.<\/p>\n

However, an SLM faction led by Abdelwahid Nour and a wing of the SPLM-N headed by Abdelaziz al-Hilu refused to take part.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan, reporting from Khartoum, said the peace talks were a long arduous process.<\/p>\n

“It looks like the rebel groups got most of what they wanted. The negotiations have been very complicated, they were halted several times. But it looks like for now they have a deal.”<\/p>\n

Se voc\u00ea escutou os epis\u00f3dios anteriores, j\u00e1 me ouviu falar sobre o Present Perfect. Nessa not\u00edcia, n\u00f3s temos exemplos de outro tempo verbal, o Past Perfect. Essa estrutura \u00e9 formada usando \u201chad\u201d, que \u00e9 o verbo \u201chave\u201d no passado, e a terceira forma do verbo que segue. Esse tempo \u00e9 usado, normalmente, para dizer que algo aconteceu antes de outra a\u00e7\u00e3o no passado. Preste aten\u00e7\u00e3o neste exemplo: quando Jason chegou na festa, eu j\u00e1 tinha ido embora. Em ingl\u00eas, isso ficaria \u201cwhen Jason arrived at the party, I HAD already LEFT. Aqui, n\u00f3s temos o passado de have, que \u00e9 had, e a terceira forma do verbo leave, que \u00e9 left.<\/p>\n

Quando o que vem depois de “I had” \u00e9 um verbo na ‘terceira forma’, voc\u00ea vai saber que estamos falando do Past Perfect.<\/p>\n

And, moving to our last story of the day. Again, we\u2019re talking about the coronavirus cases, as the number in the US reaches six million.<\/p>\n

The number of coronavirus cases in the United States topped 6 million Sunday, according to NBC News data collected from health departments nationwide. The country has recorded more than 183,000 deaths due to the virus since the outbreak gained global attention in February.<\/p>\n

Although case numbers have continued to rise in waves, many states have chosen to reopen their economies and schools. Universities and colleges that board students have particularly struggled to keep cases under control as young adults move back to campuses and nearby residences to begin in-person courses.<\/p>\n

The University of Alabama reported that more than 550 people \u2014 the majority of them students \u2014 have tested positive for the coronavirus since classes began just over a week ago. The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of Notre Dame converted to virtual learning after influxes of new cases within a few weeks of the return of students.<\/p>\n

Educators told NBC News’ Social Newsgathering team last month that they had serious anxieties about returning to in-person learning. Laura Crary, an art history professor at a liberal arts college in South Carolina, said she is a single parent who also cares for her parents.<\/p>\n

“All it’s going to take is one really bad case \u2014 student, faculty or staff \u2014 and the whole house of cards is going to come crashing down,” Crary said. “And I don’t want that case to be me.”<\/p>\n

The response to the pandemic has also been heavily politicized as the virus becomes a dominant issue in the run-up to the presidential election. Both parties mentioned the pandemic during their conventions this month, although the candidates offered dueling perspectives on the matter.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump boasted of the country’s response in his speech during the Republican National Convention last week, claiming that scientists would have a vaccine by the end of the year. He offered no evidence to support the statement.<\/p>\n

Four vaccine candidates are in clinical trials in the United States, with one from Moderna being furthest along, but it’s impossible to know whether they will prove effective, according to NBC News’ fact check.<\/p>\n

Democratic nominee Joe Biden called the U.S. response “the worst performance of any nation on Earth” at the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n

“The president keeps telling us the virus is going to disappear,” Biden said. “He keeps waiting for a miracle. Well, I have news for him: No miracle is coming.”<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of the pandemic, some have said mixed messages from the federal government and its agencies on safety guidance have hurt Americans.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance saying healthy people who have been exposed to COVID-19 “do not necessarily need a test” as long as they don’t have symptoms. Previously, guidance suggested testing for all close contacts of infected people because asymptomatic carriers could still spread the virus.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, led Dr. Anthony Fauci, said Fauci had some concerns about the new guidance.<\/p>\n

Dr. Brett Giroir, the assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services, told reporters that the decision to change the testing guidance was made Aug. 20, the day Fauci had surgery to remove a noncancerous polyp on his vocal cords.<\/p>\n

“Now, reading them carefully, he has some concern that the revised guidelines could be interpreted as lessening the importance of asymptomatic spread of virus in the community,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The CDC’s director, Dr. Robert Redfield, walked back the guidance Thursday, saying “all close contacts of confirmed or probable COVID-19 patients” may consider testing.<\/p>\n

Em algumas not\u00edcias sobre pol\u00edtica nos Estados Unidos, voc\u00ea deve ter notado que usamos a palavra \u201cparty\u201d ou \u201cparties\u201d com frequ\u00eancia. Talvez isso te tenha deixo confuso, ou confusa. Al\u00e9m de significar \u201cfesta\u201d, a palavra \u201cparty\u201d tamb\u00e9m se refere \u00e0 partido pol\u00edtico. Quando eu digo, por exemplo, the \u201cRepublican party\u201d, eu estou dizendo \u201co partido republicano\u201d.<\/p>\n

And, before we go, how about hearing some good news? Check this out. Beachgoers form a human chain to rescue man in sea by Durdle Door.<\/p>\n

Witnesses have described the moment beachgoers formed a human chain to rescue a man in danger in the sea by the Durdle Door.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on Thursday, as large waves crashed in around the popular tourist attraction on the Jurassic coast.<\/p>\n

They described the man swimming in the sea and being pulled out away from the coastline. At first, they said, beachgoers were unsure whether or not he was waving or in trouble. But, when it became obvious it was the latter, beachgoers mounted their rescue by forming the human chain.<\/p>\n

Jennie Bell, who was on holiday in the area with her family, said she had been worried from the moment they arrived because of the size and strength of the waves.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne man went in and swam. He was towed along by the undercurrent across the beach but managed to swim back in with some effort. Then, some while later, I spotted another person in the water and, after a while, it became apparent to me and the other beachgoers that he couldn\u2019t get back to shore.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was being towed along by the undercurrent. Everyone eventually had stood up watching what was happening. There was a man on the shoreline who was beckoning him in but he wasn\u2019t able to get back to shore.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, we saw a group of people along the beach shouting to the person in the sea, to swim in on certain waves, this brought him closer but not enough to get out of the water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen lots of people joined hands to form a chain leading directly into the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily Foote was also on the beach. She said: \u201cBecause the sea was so strong it was literally just crashing into them so they were two or three people deep huddled together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey threw in a body board and what appeared to be a buoyancy aid \u2026 but both were blown back. One guy ran straight into the sea but wasn\u2019t able to get near the man as \u2026 [it] was so strong.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter what seemed an eternity the man got closer to him and then the rest of the people were able to pull him up the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Lulworth Coastguard rescue team both the first casualty and one of the rescuers had got into trouble in the water but each had been rescued and were able to walk away.<\/p>\n

That story could have ended badly, but we\u2019re glad it didn\u2019t. And it\u2019s always amazing to see people getting together to help each other, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
