English term or phrase: dependable
Commento di Szarkowski a una fotografia di Robert Frank (qui potete vedere l'immagine, è la quarta: http://www.atgetphotography.com/The-Photographers/Robert-Fra... “The photograph reproduced here is a perfect specimen of what was at the time a new genus of picture. The human situation described is not merely faceless, but mindless. From the fine shiny sousaphone rises a comicstrip balloon that pronounces once more the virtue of ritual patriotism. On either side of the tuba-player stand his fellows, as anonymous and as ***dependable*** as he.”

Grazie.

leali


Explanation:
dato che dependable vuol dire fidato, affidabile, qui direi leali, dato che il critico cita la virtù del patriottismo.
