Question 3

pick up steam

Answer 3

Assim, por exemplo, pick up steam é usada com frequência para falarmos de uma melhora na economia. A economia está acelerando – it’s picking up steam. Mas esse é só um exemplo – o inglês jornalístico está cheio de outros mais!

Traduzimos pick up steam como “ganhar força”, “dar uma acelerada/animada”, “acelerar o passo”, etc.

  (Estou tentando juntar força suficiente para terminar de escrever esse livro, mas não é fácil.)
