peer agreement (net): +1| sometimes shattered, never open a veces confundido, nunca claro Explanation: shattered: trastornado, destrozado, abrumado, confundido Creo que por la situación que cuentas, usaría "confundido", pero te dejo las otras opciones, por si las ves más adecuadas. Creo que quedaría así: A veces confundido, nunca claro (abierto) También podrías decir "confuso", pero me gusta menos. Uso claro, en "open", porque me da más idea de que lo que ella percibe de él es falta de claridad. No es abierto, no es claro, no es sincero, según ella. Saludos |

| sometimes shattered, never open a veces destrozado, nunca abierto. Explanation: I just don't like the way the others translated "open". I know that you're supposted to be oppe-minded when it comes to poetry but come'on I just don't see how could open be translated as clear, protected or safe! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 114 days (2007-07-03 01:44:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (screw webster!) protected? really? open seems more like un-proteccted to me -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 114 days (2007-07-03 01:49:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- wait, now I se how "claro" could work, but I don't think it applies in this case. ... (Screw webster!) Protected?, really? "open" seems more like un-protected to me. |
