Olá queridos alunos,
Muitos me perguntam como dizer sítio em inglês. A melhor
tradução seria cottage ou explicar que é: a house in the country. Porém cuidado para
não dizer country house, que no inglês
britânico equivale a uma mansão no campo ou como dizemos aqui em minas, um
casarão.
Vamos ver algumas definições interessantes sobre o tema:
 |
| A cottage in Ireland. |
In North America, most buildings known as cottages are used for weekend
or summer getaways by city dwellers. It is also common for the owners of
cottages to rent their properties to tourists as a source of revenue. In England the legal definition of a cottage is a
small house or habitation without land. "Cottages" in Eastern
Canada are generally located next to lakes, rivers, or the ocean in forested
areas. They are used as a place to spend holidays with friends and family;
common activities including swimming, canoeing, waterskiing, fishing, hiking, and sailing. There are also many well-known summer colonies.
