Hello PPAULO. Indeed, the sentence in the OP was something I made up myself, not a true excerpt from the text. The sentence is not quite correct. Instead of "a 4% content of chromium is, as a general rule, exhibits the best compromise between toughness and hardness" it should read somethign like " a 4% content of chromium The problem with the translation still remains. I do not feel confident that using the word "compromisso" to mean compromise. Professors here in Brazil, in my experience, are not very well versed in the English language, and it is not uncommon to see translations to go from just a little weird sounding to plain wrong. |
