Poetry & Literature / descrizione di un casco per aviogetti | | Italian term or phrase: nato per sfidare i cieli | Buon sabato a tutti,
devo tradurre questa frase all'interno di un catalogo prodotti, e sinceramente dal mio cappello non esce nulla di esaltante! Si parla di cuffie per caschi per scopi aeronautici e la frase è riferita in particolare, a un *top level helmet*...
Qualche anima buona a zonzo di sabato mattina meno addormentata di me?
Grazie mille in anticipo,
Valeria |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseValeria Faber: 08:35 Sep 8, 2007: *born to fly high*? fa ribrezzo?
rfmoon: 17:49 Sep 8, 2007: No non fa ribezzo pero' non mantiene la connotazione di "sfida"("born to dare" maybe??) che e' nell'originale.
Alessandra Renna: 09:42 Sep 9, 2007: ops! mi scuso con brigitte! leggo solo ora la sua risposta fino in fondo! Sono contenta però di aver avuto cmq una idea utile e apprezzata da alcune colleghe.
Brava, Brigitte

" Eight hundred youths, of heart and sinew bold,
Mount up her shrouds, or to her tops ascend,
Some haul her braces, some her foresail bend; 40
Full ninety brazen guns her port-holes fill,
Ready with nitrous magazines to kill;
From dread embrazures formidably peep,
And seem to threaten ruin to the deep:
On pivots fix'd, the well-ranged swivels lie,
Or to point downward, or to brave the sky;
While peteraroes swell with infant rage,
Prepared, though small, with fury to engage"

"I learned to fly in the winter, Minnesota’s winter. When we finally had a clear day I would brave the sky, attempting to navigate the airspace staring at the aerial chart. Blue for lakes, green for trees, brown for dirt… down below it was all white, lots o white."
