| A música é uma forma de arte que se constitui na combinação de vários sons e ritmos, seguindo uma pré-organização ao longo do tempo. | Music is a form of art that constitutes the combination of various sounds and rhythms, following a preorganization over time. |

| A criação, a performance, o significado e até mesmo a definição de música variam de acordo com a cultura e o contexto social. | The creation, the performance, the meaning and up until now even the definition of music varies according to the culture and social context. |
| A música vai desde composições fortemente organizadas (e a sua recriação na performance), música improvisada até formas aleatórias. | The music ranges from the highly organized compositions (and its recreation at the performance), to improvised music of random forms. |
| Pode ser dividida em gêneros e subgêneros, contudo as linhas divisórias e as relações entre géneros musicais são muitas vezes sutis, algumas vezes abertas à interpretação individual e ocasionalmente controversas. | It can be divided into genres and subgenres, however the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation and occasionally controversy. |

The Industrial Revolution Sample Translation

| Lo sviluppo dell'abbigliamento era andato di pari passo con quello della tecnologia tessile, in particolare con lo sviluppo dei telai: nel 1790, nell'ambito della Rivoluzione industriale, Joseph-Marie Jacquard inventa l'omonimo telaio, che permette di aumentare sia la precisione sia la velocità di produzione dei tessuti. | The clothing development went hand in hand with that of textile technology, in particular with the development of the loom: In 1790, as part of the Industrial Revolution, Joseph-Marie Jacquard invented the Jacquard Loom, which allows the increase in both the accuracy and the production speed of fabrics. |
| L'evoluzione tecnologica si estende anche ai filatoi: tutto ciò attribuisce il primato nell'industria tessile ai paesi che per primi sono investiti dal fenomeno della rivoluzione industriale, tra tutti l'Inghilterra. | The technological evolution is also extended to spinning: everything gives primacy in the textile industry to countries that were first hit by the phenomenon of the Industrial Revolution, throughout all of England. |
| Il mercato del vestiario conosce una crescita continua: la produzione tessile si meccanicizza e razionalizza assumendo notevoli dimensioni, rendendo l'industria dell'abbigliamento la più sviluppata del periodo. | The clothing market is experiencing a steady growth: the mechanical textile production and rationalization taking considerable size, making the clothing industry the most developed of the period. |
| Tra le fine del Settecento e l'Ottocento l'industria tessile è in grado si soddisfare le richieste, oltre che delle classi più abbienti, anche della media e bassa borghesia. | Between the late eighteenth and nineteenth century the textile industry is able to meet the demands of the wealthier class, as well as the middle and lower classes. |
| Durante il XIX secolo cominciano ad apparire quelle tipologie di vestiti che sono utilizzate tutt'oggi: aderenti al corpo, con le maniche, leggeri o pesanti, con stoffe prevalentemente scure. | During the nineteenth century begins the appearance of the types of clothing that are used throughout today: close to the body, with sleeves, light or heavy, with predominantly dark fabrics. |
| Il miglioramento delle condizioni igieniche, assieme a quelle economiche, permette ad una buona parte della popolazione europea e nord-americana di indossare la biancheria. | The improvement of hygienic conditions, along with economic ones, allows a large part of the European and North American population to wear the linen. |
| Il 1842 è un'altra data fondamentale: John J. Greenough brevetta la macchina per cucire, con la quale gli indumenti possono essere confezionati con grande velocità, ed il risparmio di denaro che ne deriva fa sì che la produzione può assumere dimensioni ancora più vaste. | 1842 is another important date: John J. Greenough patents the sewing machine, with which clothing can be manufactured with great speed, and the saving of money that results causes the production to take an even larger size. |
| L'industria dell'abbigliamento può adesso realizzare la produzione in serie dei vestiti, favorendo la creazione di centri industriali tessili e di grandi magazzini per la vendita dei loro prodotti. | The garment industry can now accomplish the mass production of clothing, encouraging the creation of industrial textile centers and department stores for the sale of their products. |
| Successivamente, sia nell'Ottocento che nel secolo successivo, il perfezionamento della macchina per cucire permetterà di meccanizzare anche altre operazioni (ricamo, soprafilo, rammendo, cucitura dei bottoni, ecc.). | Subsequently, both the nineteenth century and into the next century, the perfection of the sewing machine also allows the mechanization of other operations (embroidery, knitting, mending, button sewing, etc.). |

| En Estados Unidos, el cine tuvo un éxito arrollador, por una peculiar circunstancia social: al ser un país de inmigrantes, muchos de los cuales no hablaban el inglés, tanto el teatro como la prensa o los libros les estaban vedados por la barrera idiomática, y así el cine mudo se transformó en una fuente muy importante de esparcimiento para ellos. | In the United States, the cinema had an overwhelming success, by a peculiar social circumstance: as a country of immigrants, many of whom do not speak English, both the theater as well as the press were closed off to them by the language barrier, and so the silent film became a major source of recreation for them. |
