English to Italian: The Shadow Line, Conrad General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English One goes on. And the time, too, goes on--till one perceives ahead a
shadow-line warning one that the region of early youth, too, must be
left behind. This is the period of life in which such moments of which I have spoken are likely to come. What moments? Why, the moments of boredom, of weariness, of dissatisfaction. Rash moments. I mean moments when the still young are inclined to commit rash actions, such as getting married suddenly or else throwing up a job for no reason. This is not a marriage story. It wasn't so bad as that with me. My action, rash as it was, had more the character of divorce--almost of desertion. For no reason on which a sensible person could put a finger I threw up my job--chucked my berth--left the ship of which the worst that could be said was that she was a steamship and therefore, perhaps, not entitled to that blind loyalty which...
Translation - Italian Si va avanti. E il tempo con noi – finché all'orizzonte compare una linea d'ombra che ci avverte: anche la regione della prima gioventù va lasciata alle spalle. Questo è il periodo della vita in cui è probabile accadano i momenti di cui parlavo. Quali? Beh, i momenti di noia, di stanchezza, di insoddisfazione. E di impulsività. Momenti in cui l'ancora giovane tende a compiere azioni avventate, come sposarsi all'improvviso o piantare un lavoro senza alcun motivo. Questa non è la storia di un matrimonio. Non fu così grave La mia azione, pur impulsiva, assomigliava più a un divorzio – una diserzione, quasi. Per ragioni incomprensibili a chiunque fosse dotato di senno piantai il mio lavoro – sciolsi gli ormeggi – e abbandonai una nave di cui si poteva criticare, al massimo, che fosse a vapore e per questo non meritevole, forse, di quella fedeltà cieca che...

Experience
Years of experience: 7. Registered at ProZ.com: Jul 2014.
I am an English to Italian translator with a knack for words.
My studies in Classic History gave me experience in both writing and
translating academic papers, while my personal interests and previous job in the Purchase Department of a farming equipment company gave me perfect insight in Information Technology and mechanics.
I combine this two apparently opposite faces to craft affordable, CAT Tool-assisted translations that still heed the beauty of the Italian language.
