Journalism / therapy | | Italian term or phrase: cervello va ripulito | "La prima cosa che devono capire ?che il cervello va ripulito come qualsiasi arma o veicolo da combattimento. Tutte le sere i soldati controllano lo stato del loro fucile; altrettanto devono fare col proprio cervello per esaminarne lo stato di salute."
The first thing they must understand is that the brain must be ****** just like any other weapon or fighting vehicle. Every evening the soldiers inspect the state of their guns; they should do the same with their own brains to examine its state of health. |
| | | looked after,tended to, cleansed | Explanation:
I think I would say mind as opposed to brain here. I think the article (if that's what it is) refers to a soldier's state of mind and the importance of staying sane and looking after one's mental health. |
