Social Sciences - Anthropology / comportamento alimentare: obesità | | English term or phrase: urge | Sto traducendo un articolo sui fattori sociali che hanno portato alla diffusione dell'obesità nelle società moderne e ho un dubbio sulla traduzione del termine "urge". La frase in cui il termine appare è:
The urge to eat too much is wired into our heads, in several complicated and overlapping ways.
Consultando diversi dizionari, la traduzione più diffusa è "voglia", ma io sarei più incline ad utilizzare "impulso" o "bisogno" (www.wordreference.com)
Voi che ne pensate? |
| | | impulso, pulsione, forte desiderio | Explanation:
sì convengo, "voglia" non è abbastanza forte nel tuo caso. Se nel tuo testo scoprono qualcosa per eliminare questo "urge" dimmelo!
