happy with their own life / well-balanced Explanation: "Happy with one's own life" é uma expressão comum que passa uma ideia mais abrangente: a pessoa não está meramente satisfeita consigo mesma e as coisas à sua volta, mas também tem os fatores do relaxamento e da determinação na medida certa, conforme sejam necessários para ela. "Well-balanced" costuma puxar mais para o sentido de que a pessoa é "centrada", "equilibrada" e/ou "sensata" mas, dependendo do contexto, também pode dar certo, como aparece no Thesaurus do Merriam-Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/well-balanced Alguns adjetivos na linha de "confident", como "self-assured", podem variar conforme o contexto (neste caso, pode ser interpretado como algo similar a "metido", por exemplo), mas também funcionam se a intenção é dizer que a pessoa é segura de si. "Comfortable in one's own skin" também remete a autoconfiança. https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/another-word-for/self-assu... |

very sensible Explanation: I think we need more context for each instance of this term. There's a wide range of meaning for "bem resolvido". I don't believe there is a one-size-fits-all translation. The correct translation will depend on the specific meaning depending on each context. Below is a summary of the definitions found in three different dictionaries: Definições de "resolvido": Pop. Que não traz problemas, que é tranquilo, sensato, equilibrado: Agora namorava um homem resolvido. (Aulete) (serene, sensible, balanced) [Popular] Disposto a tudo; atrevido; temerário. (Priberam) (risk-taker, bold, brave) [Informal] Que se dispõe a fazer qualquer coisa; que é corajoso: presidente resolvido. (Dício) (risk-taker, courageous,) Of all qualifiers, I would probably go with "very sensible". sensible: (of a person) possessing or displaying prudence. (Lexico.com) See if these make sense: "She was very sensible." "People who are very sensible don't cause trouble." "He was a bit of a handful, especially when compared to those who were more sensible." |
