Clothing played a large role in Renaissance society, as clothing in the Renaissance was all about defining and showing off one's social status.	Les vêtements ont eu un rôle très important dans la société de la Renaissance, puisque à cette époque l'habillement définissait à lui seul le rang social d'une personne et en montrait son status..
Germanic, Italian and French fashions heavily influenced the rest of Europe in the period.	Les modes germanique, italienne et française ont influencé fortement le reste de l'Europe à cette époque là.
Clothing was one of the main ways that the wealthy displayed their wealth to the world, and so it was the wealthy that set the fashions and trends that were to be followed.	Les habits étaient une des principales façons pour les riches de montrer leur richesse au monde, donc ce sont les riches qui ont établi les modes et les tendances qui devraient être suivies.
Because of the great difference in wealth and class in Renaissance Europe there are several different fashions, ranging from what the wealthiest would wear to what peasants might wear.	À cause de la grande différence de richesses et de classes à la Renaissance en Europe, il y a plusieurs modes différentes, allant de ce que les riches porteraient à ce que les paysans porteraient.
Because of the ever-changing times of the Renaissance, fashions also changed more rapidly in this era than in eras before it.	À cause des temps constamment changeants de la Renaissance, les modes aussi changeaient plus vite à cette époque qu'auparavant.
The wealthy displayed their wealth by wearing expensive fabrics such as silk, brocade, velvet, and cotton (Cotton was at this time in history kind of hard to come by in and was thus a 'wealthy' fabric).	Les riches déployaient leur richesse en portant des tissus chers, comme la soie, le brocart, le velours et le coton (le coton était à ce point de l'histoire assez difficile de trouver et c'était donc un tissu 'riche').
Furs were also popular among those who could afford them, and oftentimes furs were used by the wealthy as lining on the inside of their garments.	Les fourrures étaient aussi populaires entre ceux qui pouvaient en payer, et très souvent elles étaient portées par les riches comme une doublure à l'intérieur de leurs vêtements.
Darker colors were the fashion as elaborate embroidery and jewels were often sewn into the fabrics, and dark colors were able to show those features off more.	Les couleurs sombres étaient de mode, ainsi que des broderies élaborées, aussi les bijoux étaient souvent vus dedans les tissus, et les couleurs sombres pouvaient montrer davantage ces pièces.
For the wealthy, style was much more important than function.	Pour les riches le style comptait beaucoup plus que la fonction.

Ever since Pierre-Simon Laplace envisioned the Hypothetical "Laplace's Demon" in 1814, an entity with infinite computing power that knows the exact location and velocity of every particle in the universe, there has been speculation that if one had such abilities, the past, present, and future of the universe can be predicted.	Desde que Pierre-Simon Laplace teve o vislumbre do hipotético "Demônio de Laplace" em 1814, uma entidade com infinito poder computacional que sabe a localização e a velocidade exatas de cada partícula no universo, tem havido especulação de que se alguém tivesse essas habilidades, o passado, o presente e o futuro do universo poderia ser previsto.
However, there are limits to even this kind of knowledge, and it may very well be impossible for mankind to ever find the much sought-after "Theory of Everything".	No entanto, há limites até para este tipo de conhecimento, e pode muito bem ser impossível para a humanidade algum dia descobrir a muito buscada "Teoria de Tudo".
Does Laplace's Demon hold proof of Predestination?	Será que o Demônio de Laplace tem a prova da Predestinação?
Could it even exist?	Ele poderia existir?
We will examine these questions shortly.	Vamos examinar essas questões rapidamente.
Let us assume, for one moment, that Laplace's Demon not only could exist, but it is real.	Vamos imaginar, por um momento, que o Demônio de Laplace pudesse não só existir, como ser real.
The entity is sitting in a laboratory, doing computations, and feeding scientists data about the future of the universe.	A entidade está sentada em um laboratório, fazendo computações e alimentando os cientistas com dados sobre o futuro do universo.
This scenario could be thought of as absolute proof that free will is an illusion, and that predestination rules the universe.	Este cenário poderia ser pensado como uma prova absoluta de que o livre arbítrio é uma ilusão, e que a predestinação governa o universo.
As the Demon simulates particles ricocheting off of each other, forming atoms, cooling down, then gradually forming stars several billion years ago, it watches matter spin, gravity attract material; Earth forms, then life forms, then Humans slowly evolve, it predicts the chemical reactions going on inside our brains, it knows what we will do, what we will think, and what we will feel.	Como o Demônio simula partículas ricocheteando umas nas outras, formando átomos, esfriando, depois gradativamente formando estrelas muitos bilhões de anos atrás, ele observa a matéria girar, a gravidade atrair a matéria; a Terra se forma, depois a vida se forma, os humanos evoluem lentamente, ele prevê as reações químicas entrando nos nossos cérebros, sabe o que faremos, o que pensaremos e o que sentiremos.
For the processes of our brain are no different, no less certain than the boiling of water or the constant flickering of minute switches in the circuitry of a computer.	Pois o processo do nosso cérebro não é diferente, não menos certo do que a água fervendo ou o piscar constante do passar dos minutos no circuito de um computador.
Neurons fire, some adrenaline is released there, some dopamine here, and you get a human thought.	Os neurônios pegam fogo, alguma adrenalina é liberada ali, alguma dopamina aqui, e você tem um pensamento humano.
What we perceive as free will is merely routine chemical processes occurring within our brains, and we are no more than clumps of matter floating around in the universe like the coldest space rock, as time moves only forward, and the universe expands outward.	O que percebemos como livre arbítrio é apenas uma rotina do processo químico ocorrendo dentro dos nossos cérebros, e não somos mais que agrupamentos de matéria flutuando em torno do universo como a pedra espacial mais fria, pois o tempo só anda para frente, e o universo se expande para fora.
and nothing- nothing is uncertain in the mind of the Demon.	e nada-nada é incerto na mente do Demônio.

Origen (English)	Destino (French)
Psychology is the study of behavior and mind, embracing all aspects of conscious and unconscious experience as well as thought.	La psychologie est l'étude du comportement et de la tête, s'occupant de tous les aspects de l'expérience consciente et inconsciente, ainsi que de la pensée.
It is an academic discipline and an applied science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases.	C'est une discipline académique et une science appliquée qui cherche à comprendre les individus et les groupes en établissant des principes généraux et en recherchant des cas spécifiques.
In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist.	Dans ce champ, un pratiquant ou un chercheur professionnel est appelé un psychologue et peut être classifié comme un scientifique social, comportemental ou cognitif.
Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors.	Les psychologues essayent de comprendre le rôle des fonctions mentales dans les individus et le comportement social, tandis qu'ils exploitent les processus psychologiques et biologiques qui sont à la base de ces fonctions cognitives et de ces comportements.
Psychologists explore concepts such as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships, including psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas.	Les psychologues exploitent des concepts comme la perception, la cognition, l'attention, l'émotion, l'intelligence, la phénoménologie, la motivation, le fonctionnement cérébral, la personnalité, le comportement et les relations interpersonnelles, y compris la résilience psychologique, la résilience familiale et autres aires.
Psychologists of diverse orientations also consider the unconscious mind.	Les psychologues de plusieurs orientations considèrent aussi la tête inconsciente.
Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables.	Les psychologues emploient des méthodes empiriques pour découvrir des relations de cause et de corrélation entre les variables psycho-sociales..
In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, some—especially clinical and counseling psychologists—at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques.	En plus, ou bien, au contraire, d'employer des méthodes empirique ou déductive, quelques uns -- spécialement les psychologues cliniques ou conseillers -- quelquefois s'appuient sur des symboles d'interprétation et d'autres techniques inductives.
Psychology has been described as a "hub science", with psychological findings linking to research and perspectives from the social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, humanities, and philosophy.	La psychologie est souvent décrite comme une "science de centre", avec des découvertes psychologiques liées à la recherche et aux perspectives des sciences sociales, des sciences naturelles, à la médecine, aux humanités et à la philosophie.

Origen (English)	Destino (French)
Music is a supporting component of many kinds of entertainment and most kinds of performance.	La musique est un composant d'appuy de beaucoup d'espèces de divertissements et de la plupart des performances.
For example, it is used to enhance storytelling, it is indispensable in dance and opera, and is usually incorporated into dramatic film or theatre productions.	Par exemple, elle est utilisée pour souligner une histoire racontée, elle est indispensable dans la dance et dans l'opéra, et elle est visuellement incorporée dans les productions du cinéma et du théâtre.
Music is also a universal and popular type of entertainment on its own, constituting an entire performance such as when concerts are given.	La musique est aussi un type de divertissement universel et populaire par elle-même, constituant une performance tout entière telle que jouée dans les concerts.
Depending on the rhythm, instrument, performance and style, music is divided into many genres, such as classical, jazz, folk, rock, pop music or traditional.	Selon le rythme, les instruments, la performance et le style, la musique est divisée en plusieurs genres, comme la classique, le jazz, la folk musique, le rock, la pop musique ou la traditionnelle.
Since the 20th century, performed music, once available only to those who could pay for the performers, has been available cheaply to individuals by the entertainment industry which broadcasts it or pre-records it for sale.	Depuis de 20ème siècle, la musique jouée qui n'était accessible que pour ceux qui pouvaient payer pour les spectacles, est devenue accessible à bon marché pour les individus par l'industrie du divertissement qui les joue sur les radios ou les enregistre d'avance pour vendre.
The wide variety of musical performances, whether or not they are artificially amplified, all provide entertainment irrespective of whether the performance is from soloists, choral or orchestral groups, or ensemble.	L'ample variété des performances musicales, amplifiées artificiellement ou pas, procure le divertissement indistinct, n'importe si la performance a été de solistes, d'un coeur ou de groupes d'orchestre, ou d'ensembles.
Live performances use specialized venues, which might be small or large; indoors or outdoors; free or expensive.	Les performances en direct utilisent des endroits spéciaux, qui peuvent être petits ou grands; à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur; gratis ou chers.
The audiences have different expectations of the performers as well as of their own role in the performance.	Les publics ont des expectatives différentes sur les artistes performatifs, ainsi que sur leur rôle dans les spectacles.
For example, some audiences expect to listen silently and are entertained by the excellence of the music, its rendition or its interpretation.	Par exemple, quelques publics attendent pour entendre en silence et sont entretenus par l'excellence de la musique, sa reddition ou son interprétation.
Other audiences of live performances are entertained by the ambience and the chance to participate.	Autres publics de spectacles en direct sont entretenus par l'ambiance et par la chance d'y participer.
Even more listeners are entertained by pre-recorded music and listen privately.	De plus en plus d'audiences sont entretenues par des musique pré-enregistrées et les entendent en particulier.

The Lord of the Flies contains many examples of symbolism which Golding has incorporated to show a deeper level to the main, mostly straightforward, storyline that reveals his thoughts on the nature of humanity and evil.	O Senhor das Moscas contém muitos exemplos de simbolismo que Golding incorporou para mostrar um nível mais profundo em relação à principal e mais franca linha da história, que revela suas ideias sobre a natureza da humanidade e do mal.
Below are some of the main symbols used in the book, but there are plenty more for you to discover yourself.	Abaixo estão alguns dos principais símbolos usados no livro, mas ainda existem muitos outros para você descobrir por si mesmo.
Among such symbols may be included such small or natural seeming events like the coral reef, (Submarine warfare, surrounding of Britain by German U-boats?) or the "great fire", which may represent the first world war, ("We shall never commit to this savagery again").	Entre tais símbolos podem ser incluídos pequenos acontecimentos aparentemente naturais, como o recife de coral (Armas de guerra submarinas, cercando o Britain por barcos submarinos alemães, os "U"- bot?), ou o "grande fogo", que pode representar a Primeira Guerra Mundial ("Nunca mais compactuaremos com tal selvageria").
Blood is another symbol Golding uses extensively, although what he uses it for is open to interpretation.	O sangue é outro símbolo que Golding usa extensamente, embora o uso que faça dele esteja aberto a interpretações.
The different styles of leadership shown by Jack and Ralph symbolize democracy and dictatorship, much like as depicted in George Orwell's Animal Farm where he used pigs to symbolize the USSR's communist leaders.	Os diferentes estilos de liderança mostrados por Jack e Ralph simbolizam democracia e ditadura, muito como foi descrito na Fazenda de Animais de George Orwell, em que ele usava porcos para simbolizar os líderes comunistas da URSS.
The imaginary beast that frightens all the boys stands for the primal instinct of savagery that exists within all human beings.	A besta imaginária que assusta todos os meninos tem a ver com o instinto primal de selvageria que existe dentro de todos os seres humanos.
The boys are afraid of the beast, but only Simon reaches the realization that they fear the beast because it exists within each of them.	Os meninos temem a besta, mas apenas Simon tem consciência de que eles a temem porque ela existe dentro de cada um deles.
As the boys grow more savage, their belief in the beast grows stronger.	À medida que os meninos ficam mais selvagens, sua crença na besta fica mais forte.
By the end of the novel, the boys are leaving it sacrifices and treating it as a totemic god.	No final do romance, os meninos estão deixando a besta se sacrificar e tratando-a como um deus totêmico.
The boys’ behavior is what brings the beast into existence, so the more savagely the boys act, the more real the beast seems to become.	O comportamento dos meninos é o que traz a besta à existência, por isso quanto mais selvagens os meninos são, mais real a besta se torna.
The boys "become" the beast when they kill Simon.	Os meninos "tornam-se" a besta quando matam Simon.
Golding describes the savages' behavior as animal like; the savages dropped their spears (man's tool) and "screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws."	Golding descreve o comportamento selvagem como animal; os selvagens deixaram cair suas lanças (ferramentas de homem) e "gritaram, bateram, morderam e rasgaram. Não havia palavras e nenhum movimento a não ser o rasgar dos dentes e dos maxilares".

Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.	L'art est une rangée d'activités humaines qui crée des artefacts visuels, auditifs ou performatifs (des oeuvres d'art), qui expriment l'imagination de l'auteur selon sa capacité technique, qui a pour but être apprécié par sa beauté ou par son pouvoir émotionnel.
In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art, the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.	Dans ses rangées les plus générales, ces activités incluent la production d'oeuvres d'art, de la critique d'art, de l 'étude de l'histoire de l'art et de la dissémination esthétique de l'art.
The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts, which include creation of images or objects in fields including today painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media.	Les formes d'art les plus anciennes sont les arts visuels, qui incluent la création d'images ou d'objects dans des champs qui comprennent aujourd'hui la peinture, la sculpture, la gravure, la photographie et d'autres champs de média visuelle.
Music, theatre, film, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of art or the arts.	Musique, théâtre, cinéma, dance et d'autres arts performatifs, ainsi que la littérature et d'autres médias, telles que la média interactive, sont inclus dans une définition plus ample des arts.
In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts.	Dans l'usage moderne, après le 17ème siècle, quand les considérations esthétiques avaient une grande importance, les beaux arts sont séparées et différenciés des habiletés acquises en général, tels les arts décoratifs ou appliqués.
Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), narrative (storytelling), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities.	L'art peut être caractérisé en termes de mimèsis ( sa représentation de la réalité), narrative (narration d'histoires), expression, communication d'émotion, ou autres qualités.
