Theme Thursday - Números

Theme Thursdays é uma rubrica semanal, que funciona de quinta a quinta, organizada pela kavyen do blog Reading between Pages. 

Todos podem participar! Estas são as regras:
  • Um tema será colocado online todas as semanas (à quinta)
  • Pegar no livro que estamos a ler e escolher uma conversa/fragmento/frase
  • Mencionar o autor e o título do livro no post
  • É importante que o tema seja mencionado na frase (embora esta não tenha, necessariamente, de conter a palavra)

O tema desta semana é - NÚMEROS

"A Smithsonian Institution, apesar de ter mais de uma dúzia de grandes museus no National Mall, tinha uma colecção tão extensa que só podia exibir dois por cento dela ao mesmo tempo. Os outros noventa e oito por cento da colecção tinham de ser armazenados algures. E esse algures... era ali."
~ p. 50, “O Símbolo Perdido” de Dan Brown

  1. Translated by me:
    "The Smithsonian Institution, even though it had more than a dozen big museums in the National Mall, had a collection so extensive it could only display two percent of it at the same time. The other ninety nine percent of the colection had to be stored somewhere. And that somewhere... was there."

  5. Really?? Just 2%.. Since we have numbers this week I am sure something is amiss here. If 2% is displayed should'nt 98% be stored.. How did it become 99%??? Hmmm!!!

  6. That's what I get for trying to post this on my lunch break... I get late to work and I screw up the translation...

    Of course it should be 98% and not 99%. Sorry.
