Italian term or phrase: superiorità
Salve, sto aiutando un ragazzo a tradurre la tesi, e c'è un sostantivo che secondo me va tradotto in un modo completamente diverso da quello creduto corretto. Metto la frase intera con il sostantivo fra virgolette, e a seguire per chiarezza la frase tradotta per intero con la mia proposta di traduzione fra virgolette.


''La superiorità'' delle cose brutte é una di quelle realtà oggettive con cui loro potrebbero esserne lucrosi.

Secondo me quel ''superiorità'' si riferisce alla gente che si sente superiore agli altri. Poichè quel '' loro'' potrebbe risultare ambiguo nel significato, specifico che si riferisce alla ''nuova generazione degli uomini che nascerà''.

''Arrogant people'' do bad things and this is one of those objective realities of which the next generation of humans could benefit from.

Explanation:
" The superiority/arrogance" of bad people is one of those objective realities with which they might be in a profitable situation.


As per the context, the " loro" here should be "they", however if the complete context is known , the meaning may differ.

"Secondo me quel ''superiorità'' si riferisce alla gente che si sente superiore agli altri. Poichè quel '' loro'' potrebbe risultare ambiguo nel significato, specifico che si riferisce alla ''nuova generazione degli uomini che nascerà''.

As per the context and information given by you, I am not too sure if "loro" would mean a new generation of men to come. In simple terms, it should mean, " they".
