Poetry & Literature | | English term or phrase: survive the strain | Hola, estoy traduciendo LOUISE de SOMERSET MAUGHAM y tengo una duda en la última oración con "survive the strain". Mi confusión es porque el personaje tiene problemas de corazón y además acaba de sufrir la muerte de su marido, entonces, STRAIN ¿a qué hace referencia? ¿Es que no soportará la tensión?
¡Gracias! les mando la primer parte para que tengan algo de contexto pero el problema es la última frase.
He rejoined his regiment and three months later was
killed. It was a great shock to Louise.She felt, however, that in such a crisis she must not give way to a private grief; and if she had a heart attack nobody heard of it.In order to distract her mind, she turned her villa at Monte Carlo into a hospital for convalescent officers.
Her friends told her that she would never survive the strain.
Saludos,
Lucía Pacho |
