Portuguese term

deve confirmar-se

Em um texto de um livro aparece a frase que fala que " a hipótese que haverá um resfriamento deve confirmar-se." Coloquei "he hypothesis that there will some cooling has been expected. " Depois pensei que toda hipótese é esperada. Que tal "is expected to be confirmed"?

Hypothesis "hypotheses" need to be verified
Maria Cristina Vasconcelos (asker) Mar 5, 2012:
should? O sentido do texto é o que André detectou, uma hipótese que deve ser realmente confirmada, todavia estou em dúvida se "should" é o verbo modal a ser usado aqui. Por isso, sugeri "is expected to be confirmed".

is likely/expected to be confirmed

At this point, the process is already under way, so the scientists have become mere observers.

One way to translate the sentence would therefore be: The hypothesis that cooling will occur is likely/expected to be confirmed. Consequently, you, Maria Cristina, were right all along.

should be confirmed

should be confirmed
Note from asker:
Minha dúvida está justamente aí. (DEVE X DEVERIA).Do you think that "is expected to be confirmed" conveys this idea?
Peer comment(s):
neutral Andrew Bramhall : Definitely possible, but more likely if the original had said "deveria".//'deveria' carries greater moral authority in my view, 'deve' is weaker, like 'is to' or 'ha de' in Spanish, just outlining something simply as a matter of course (that is expected).

'haverá' is future tense, therefore 'there is to be' or 'there will be'.
