peer agreement (net): +2Yikes! Explanation: Talk about vague writing! Well, if we start with the idea that "opacizzare" means "to make opaque", you've got something semi-opaque here, but it honestly doesn't make sense. I would probably get around this by considering the concept of "translucent". Otherwise, considering the juxtaposition of "semiopacizzante" and "candido", you could probably use something like "chiaroscuro", as the text seems to set idea of "dimness" against "light". For the "griglia" bit, do you have a photo? Does this refer to the face of the watch? I get the idea that the company has tried to represent the concept of time with a darker grid over a lighter color, particularly given that they say "che ne materializza il senso" [del tempo?]. |
