Art/Literary - Bio, film, tv, drama / film video | | Italienska term eller fras: Come un uragano piomba tra loro | contesto: nel testo di descrizione di un filmato ....scena in una piscina
Piscina termale, persone a bagno con gli occhi chiusi. *** Come un uragano piomba tra loro, *** proprio al centro della vasca, il nostro uomo.Il suo tuffo “a bomba” ha sollevato uno tsunami che ha inondato tutto e tutti.L’uomo emerge dall’acqua col più innocente dei sorrisi, tra gli sguardi attoniti degli altri ospiti, fradici e senza parole.
Come tradurre al meglio in inglese quest'espressione ?
grazie 1000! |

hi,
I can't think of any way to use the whirlwind/hurricane metaphor successfully in this context as the image conjured up just doesn't sound right to me. I'd keep away from the original in Italian and try changing it around with something like this:
Suddenly our man plummets into their midst with a dive bomb right in the middle of the pool, triggering a tidal wave that soaks them all...etc etc.
or something along those lines anyway :-)

Förklaring:
That's trying to keep the origanal text in tact - it might not be a great image in English, though....
