1 hr confidence: 
through association / transfer Explanation: I do not know if these can be the right English words. "Per trasposizione" means that we transfer the meaning or the essence of something/someone to something/someone else. We hate the man because we place ourselves in Giorgio's shoes, so we transfer our feelings onto Giorgio's, we associate our feelings with his -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-11-14 12:27:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Esempio: PERCHE' CON UN GATTO SI VIVE MEGLIO Capire che le emozioni sono più preziose delle cose, e che le sole cose preziose sono quelle capaci di dare emozioni. È seccante trovare il proprio maglione preferito pieno di peli, ma l’abitudine del gatto di dormire sulle nostre cose personali non è casuale, in quanto i luoghi che sceglie sono quelli che noi amiamo di più, quindi occupando questi luoghi con il suo corpo rivolge alle nostre cose, e quindi, per trasposizione, a noi, delle manifestazioni d’affetto, delle coccole. |

leave it out Explanation: It doesn't add anything to the sentence. To transpose is to change position, so the text is saying the same thing twice: posizione, trasposizione. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2013-11-14 18:46:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We hate him because we put ourselves in Giorgio's shoes, and feel the same anger and incredulity. |
