Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
In your mind you have capacities you know
To telepath messages through the vast unknown
Please close your eyes and concentrate
With every thought you think
Upon the recitation we’re about to sing
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary most extraordinary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft
You’ve been observing our earth
And we’d like to make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft
Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries
We’ve been observing your earth
And one night we’ll make a contact with you
We are your friends
Calling occupants of interplanetary quite extraordinary craft
And please come in peace, we beseech you
Only a landing will teach them
Our earth may never survive
So do come, we beg you
Please interstellar policeman
Oh won’t you give us a sign
Give us a sign that we’ve reached you
With your mind you have ability to form
And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm
You close your eyes, you concentrate
Together that’s the way
To send the message
We declare world contact day
Calling occupants
Calling occupants
Calling occupants of interplanetary, anti-adversary craft
We are your friends

Gabarito comentado
Gabarito: E
O que precisava saber: Era necessário identificar o sentido lexical das palavras no contexto da letra: unknown = desconhecido; beseech = suplicar/implorar; survive = sobreviver; interstellar = interestelar. A questão também envolve reconhecimento de cognatos e atenção a confusões de sentido.
Critério decisivo: Identificar, no contexto, a correspondência correta entre as palavras em inglês e seus equivalentes em português: unknown = desconhecido; beseech = suplicar/implorar; survive = sobreviver; interstellar = interestelar.
- Verifique o sentido lexical exato da palavra no contexto, em vez de escolher uma tradução apenas parecida.
- Diferencie termos espaciais: interstellar refere-se a estrelas, não a planetas.
- Tenha atenção a palavras que podem induzir por semelhança sonora ou visual, como beseech, cujo sentido é "suplicar/implorar".
