Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Testo teatrale | | English term or phrase: pickle up his bum | monologo teatrale. Lei ha appena scoperto di essere incinta dopo un rapporto occasionale con un uomo.
SHE: I can see the picture. The two of us are lying on this bed and we’re crying. Both of us. We're holding each other and crying. Because of the baby. Because it's so sad. We're saying things we would never ordinarily say. We' re revealing amazing things from the depths of our beings. But he's sitting there with a pickle up his bum and I’ve got a pickle up my bum and there's a new kind of Berlin Wall between us.
Non so proprio come tradurre quel "pickle up his bum". Cerco soluzioni appropriate. Grazie! |

| | Italian translation:seduto sulle spine | Explanation:
Come puoi vedere dal link, l'espressione vuol dire essere teso, nervoso, in ansia. Ho cercato un'espressione simile in italiano e mi è venuta in mente questa, che ci sta anche perché nel tuo testo c'è "sitting". |
