PAGE 58 (Four panels)
Panel 1: Daphne, leaning back a bit.
Daphne (1): So what gives? Is it that they were men and I’m a woman who should be staying home in the kitchen and popping out babies?
Comment (1): “So what gives?” Colloquial American English expression that means something like “What are you trying to say?” but with an edge of skepticism or even hostility.
Translation (1): E daí? Será que é porque eram homens e eu sou uma mulher que deveria ficar em casa, na cozinha ou cuidando do seu bebê?
Daphne (2): If that’s what you think, go fuck yourself, you sexist piece of shit.
Translation (2): Se é isto que você pensa, vai se fuder, seu bosta sexista.
Panel 2: Daphne, with a finger raised.
Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (3): Perhaps there’s a difference between a chance of death and what looks like a certainty of…
Translation (3): Talvez haja uma diferença entre a probabilidade de morte e o que parece ser uma certeza de…
Daphne (4): Yes, well I have an answer to that as well.
Translation (4): Sim, eu também tenho uma resposta para isso.
Panel 3: An abstract representation showing Daphne, wearing a classical toga, holding a line in space which is labeled at its endpoints “0” and “1.”
CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (5): “Certainty” isn’t metaphysically special. It’s just the endpoint of a continuum of probabilities.
Translation (5): “Certeza” não é uma especialidade metafísica. É apenas o ponto final de uma sequência de probabilidades.
CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (6): So where does “insanity” begin? At p = 0.5? 0.7? 0.999? Can you defend any principled answer to that question?
Translation (6): Então, onde começa a “insanidade”? Em p = 0,5? 0,7? 0,999? Você consegue defender qualquer princípio que responda a essa pergunta?
Panel 4: Close-in on Daphne’s determined-looking face.
Daphne (7): If not, then shut up and let me get on with what I need to do.
Translation (7): Se não conseguir, então cale a boca e deixe eu fazer o que vim fazer.

Panel 1: Daphne, sitting in a cabin on the RV Seagoon (porthole visible behind her), being interviewed.
Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (1): You have to know that there’s been a lot of mail, and a lot of chatter on social media, to the effect that you’re crazy, that you’re unstable, that you’re suicidal, that someone should stop you, and so on.
Translation (1): Unseen interviewer (out-of-panel balloon) (1): Você precisa saber que há muitos e-mails, muita conversa nas redes sociais, no sentido de que você está louca, que está instável, que é uma suicida, que alguém deveria impedir isto, e por aí vai.
Daphne (2): Yes, I know about all that. And I have something to say.
Translation (2): Sim, estou ciente de tudo isto. E eu tenho mais algo a dizer.
Panel 2: Adapted photograph of the Scott Antarctic party. A version can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_Nova_Expedition#/media/File:Scottgroup.jpg (Accessed March 5, 2017)
CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (3): For centuries, men have set out on expeditions to advance human knowledge.
Translation (3): Por séculos, os homens têm se empenhado em expedições para o avanço do conhecimento humano.
CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (4): Some of these expeditions were extraordinarily dangerous. They had to know in some cases that the odds that they would survive were quite poor.
Translation (4): Algumas dessas expedições foram extraordinariamente perigosas. Eles precisavam saber que em alguns casos as probabilidades de sobrevivência são muito baixas.
Panel 3: Adapted photograph of the crew of Apollo 1. A version can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1#/media/File:Apollo1_Crew_im_Simulator.jpg (Accessed March 5, 2017).
CAPTION – DAPHNE NARRATING (5): Even in more modern times, men have undertaken exploratory ventures that they knew posed a lethal risk.
Translation (5): Mesmo nos tempos modernos, homens assumem missões exploratórias cientes dos riscos mortais que elas representam.
Panel 4: Daphne leaning forward, intently.
Daphne (6): And do you know what? No one wrote about how these men were crazy unstable bitches who needed to be stopped for their own good.
Translation (6): E sabe do que mais? Ninguém escreveu sobre o quanto esses homens eram cretinos, loucos e instáveis que deveriam ser impedidos de agir para o seu próprio bem.
Daphne (7): Instead, they were celebrated as heroes.
Translation (7): Na verdade, foram homenageados como heróis.

Panel 1: Turpentine at the head of the table, looking grumpy.
Turpentine (1): Yes. That may well be.
Translation (1): É. Pode muito bem ser isso mesmo.
Panel 2: Hiram, with a crooked grin.
Hiram (2): Well, we could always set it higher and try again.
Translation (2): Bom, podemos regular outro em nível mais alto e tentar de novo.
Panel 3: Daphne, who is sitting at the table, with a wide-eyed expression.
Panel 4: Daphne again, with a slightly calmer expression.
Daphne (3): So, I guess I’m going in after all.
Translation (3): Então acho que vou acabar mergulhando também, no final das contas.
