English to Italian: GHOST TRAIN TO THE EASTERN STAR - P. Theroux General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English You think of travelers as bold, but our guilty secret is that travel is one of the laziest ways on earth of passing the time. Travel is not merely the business of being bone-idle, but also an elaborate bumming evasion, allowing us to call attention to ourselves with our conspicuous absence while we intrude upon other people’s privacy — being actively offensive as fugitive freeloaders. The traveler is the greediest kind of romantic voyeur, and in some well-hidden part of the traveler’s personality is an unpickable knot of vanity, presumption, and mythomania bordering on the pathological. This is why a traveler’s worst nightmare is not the secret police or the witch doctors or malaria, but rather the prospect of meeting another traveler.
Translation - Italian Si pensa che i viaggiatori siano coraggiosi, ma il nostro inconfessabile segreto è che il viaggiare è uno dei modi più pigri che esistano di trascorrere il tempo. Viaggiare non è solo questione di vivere nell’ozio, ma è anche una complicata fuga da scrocconi, che ci permette di puntare l’attenzione su di noi per la nostra evidente assenza, mentre ci intrufoliamo nella vita degli altri, fastidiosi come fuggiaschi profittatori. Il viaggiatore è il tipo più avido di guardone sentimentale e, in qualche parte ben nascosta della sua personalità, vi è un’inafferrabile punta di vanità, di presunzione e di mitomania che rasenta il patologico. Ecco perché il peggior incubo del viaggiatore non è la polizia segreta o gli stregoni o la malaria, ma piuttosto la possibilità di incontrare un altro viaggiatore.
