Italian to English translations [PRO]
Advertising / Public Relations / press release | | Italian term or phrase: compagno di avventura | This is a press release on a promotional stunt involving three girls who travelled across Europe on a riding mower (yes, you heard it right). Here's the sentence:
2000 Kilometri percorsi a bordo di un trattorino rasaerba, compagno di avventura che, nonostante le condizioni meteorologiche avverse (impensabili per un mese di Luglio), non ha mai smesso sostenerle fino alla meta.
All I can come up with is "brother-on-arms", but that's not quite appropriate. Any ideas?
Thanks. |

Although, trusty steed is a good translation in this specific context, it will not work if an attempt is made to use it more generally. |
