Atentie totodata si la sensurile lui "git" in engleza britanica. Nu pare a fi prostanac. Marturisesc ca nu cunosc serialul asta si deci nu inteleg in profunzime textul dar am facut ceva cercetari in sensul asta si de aceea am ridicat obiectiile astea.

N-am facut decat sa mentionez cum s-a mai tradus "slip of a girl"; asta nu inseamna ca e valabil aici. Ideea era de "nevinovatie". Doar o sugestie de a considera si alte sensuri.

Da, poate ca "silfida" nu e tocmai indicat, mai ales ca e vorba de Elisabetha I, cea care are "a stomach of a concrete elephant", :P dar nici "fata cu chibrituri" nu poate fi. :) Cat despre "git" / "geat" / "gate" etc, l-am adaptat mai demult ca "prostanac". Or, capitanul "Barbarosie" Rum nu e vreun ticalos, ci doar un prostanac, mai ales avand in vedere remarcile lui "originale" de mai inainte la adresa lui Edmund:


"Rum: Aaaaaaahrrrrr Aaaaaaahrrrrr Aaaaaaaaaaahrrrrr. Me laddy.

Blackadder: Ah-haah-ah, indeed. So, Rum, I wish to hire you and
your ship. Can we shake on it? [holds out hand]


Rum: Aah-ahhh! [strokes his hand] You have a woman's hand, milord!
I'll wager these dainty pinkies never weighed anchor
in a storm.

Blackadder: Well, you're right there.


Rum: Ha ha ha. -Aah! Your skin milord. I'll wager it ne'er
felt the lash of a cat ['o' nine tails], been rubbed
with salt, and then flayed off by a pirate chief to make
fine stockings for his best cabin boy.

Blackadder: How canny, I don't know how you do it, but you're right
again.


Rum: Why should I let a stupid cockerel like you aboard me boat?

Blackadder: Perhaps for the money in my purse [holding it up]


Rum: Ha. -Aah! You have a woman's purse! [takes it from him and
examines it daintily] I'll wager that purse has never been
used as a rowing-boat. I'll wager it's never had sixteen
shipwrecked mariners tossing in it.

Blackadder: Yes, right again, Rum. I must say when it comes to tales of
courage I'm going to have to keep my mouth shut.


Rum: Oh! You have a woman's mouth, milord! I'll wager that
mouth never had to chew through the side of a ship
to escape the dreadful spindly killer fish.

Blackadder: I must say, when I came to see you, I had no idea I was going
to have to eat your ship as well as hire it. And since you're
clearly as mad as a mongoose I'll bid you farewell


Rum: Aaah, courtiers to the Queen, you're nothing but lapdogs to a
slip of a girl.

Blackadder: Better a "lapdog to a slip of a girl", than a... Git." :)

nevinovata' dar se poate rafina traducerea asta.

girl" are doua sensuri : 1) slender( asa cum ai spus) si 2) en lille pige( tradus in daneza ca "fetita cu chibrituri'; pot sa-ti dau link-uri pentru "git"si ref. cele doua sensuri ale "slip of a girl". Nu m-as grabi cu "silfida". Ideea e, cred, de "fetita

Inclin sa cred ca n-ai dreptate: apare undeva in text 'better a lapdog to the slip of a girl than a Git' meaning "better be submissive/meek than a scoundrel'.( mai degraba un catelus/pudel cuminte/nevinovat al unei fetite decat un ticalos). "Slip of a
