English term or phrase: It could be done
Unica battuta teatrale (senza altro contesto). Una donna si chiede come è potuto succedere che sia rimasta incinta di un uomo appena conosciuto.

SHE: I thought it would never happen to me. It could be done, it could actually be done

La mia proposta:

Pensavo che non potesse mai succedere a me. Si poteva fare, si poteva fare davvero.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!

Explanation:
io lo renderei così lasciando il personaggio con una battuta coi puntini di sospensione per rendere un pò l'incredulità per ciò che non pensava potesse mai accadere.

neutral  Fabrizio Zambuto: ...scusa, ma non capisco il senso della tua traduzione//intendevo nel senso che "it could be done" significa che era possibile, non che è successo (aldilà che sia successo o meno), non so se mi spiego.

  -> Credo che sia più che chiaro..
agree  DrSeuss: Io invece la trovo una buona alternativa. Forse anche "e' successo, e' successo per davvero"
