Art/Literary - Music | | English term or phrase: toffering | Nie mam zielonego pojęcia jak to przetłumaczyć, może ktoś pomoże?
Jedyne co udało mi się znaleźć w Internecie, to słówko "toffer":
"A lazy, useless worker exhibiting signs of mental deficiency and will most likely injure the people who are actually working around him even if he tried to help. They will sometimes try to scrutinize the people who are actually working by coming up with some bullshit theorem they heard to make themselves seem smarter when in actuality they are proving their worthlessness."
Poniżej kontekst (fragment tekstu piosenki):
No sound but the wind in the bare and blackened trees
She rose and stood toffering in that
Cold autistic dark with her arms
Z góry dziękuję. |

Piosenka jest polskiego zespołu śpiewającego po angielsku, a sam tekst jest zaczerpnięty z powieści „Droga” Cormaca McCarthy'ego. Tam jest "he" zamiast "she", a poza tym jest tak samo. U McCarthy'ego jest "tottering" i wyraźnie - o dziwo - słychać to też w piosence na 3:09: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYZGFRytBs4&feature=related. Prawdopodobnie ktoś to w Polsce źle napisał i zostało to powielone. |
