Puzzo di sudore

#1984 #Orwell #reading #BigBrother #novel #SciFi #dystopia #politic #totalitarianism #TateoBlog #TILLL

Un insopprimibile puzzo di sudore, 

quasi un’inconscia testimonianza della sua (signor Parsons) infaticabile attività, 

lo seguiva ovunque andasse 

e restava sospesa dietro di lui quando se ne andava.

_____ English _____

Stench of sweat

An irrepressible stench of sweat, 

almost an unconscious testimony to his (Mr. Parsons) tireless activity, 

followed him wherever he went 

And hung suspended behind him when he left.

(La signora Parsons)
Era una donna di circa trent’anni 

anche se ne dimostrava molti di più.

Guardandola bene 

si aveva l’impressione 

che le righe del suo volto 

fossero piene di polvere.

_____ English _____

(Mrs. Parsons) 

She was a woman in her early thirties 

although she looked much older.

Looking at her closely 

one had the impression 

that the lines on her face 

were full of dust.

Big Brother

Non appena toccò la maniglia della porta, 

Winston si rese conto di aver lasciato il diario aperto sul tavolo. 

Le parole 

ABBASSO IL GRANDE FRATELLO! 

ricoprivano le pagine a lettere così grosse 

che chiunque avrebbe potuto leggerle dall’altro capo della stanza.

_____ English _____

As soon as he touched the door handle, 

Winston realized he had left the diary open on the table. 

The words 

DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER! 

covered the pages in such large letters 

that anyone could have read them from across the room.
