Scholastyka napisał(a):to jeszcze jedna prośba o konsultację: bohaterka spiewa na przyjęciu "Moon River" [ze 'Śniadania u Tiffany'ego] ku ogólnemu zachwytowi. Autorka cytuje kilka oderwanych zdań z piosenki. Tłumaczyc je, czy zostawic? Mimo wszystko chyba bardziej jest u nas znana wersja angielska, nawet nie wiem, czy poza telewizyjnem spektaklem [z Jędrusik], był śpiewana po polsku?

Np w Nie powiesz nikomu? Sophie Kinselli bylo napisane, ze na lampie wisial telefon komorkowy. W oryginale wisiala ozdoba w ksztalcie rybek poruszajacych sie swobodnie na sznurkach. Nie wiem jak sie takie cos nazywa po polsku, ale to jest cos w rodzaju dzwoneczkow znanych z feng shui. Polska tlumaczka nie zauwazyla roznicy miedzy wyrazami mobile i fish mobile.
Na koncu ksiazki byl dialog:
Rodzice: Kupilismy ci auto.
Bohaterka: Naprawde mi kupiliscie?
Rodzice: Tak, ale male.
A zgodnie z oryginalem ich odpowiedz powinna brzmiec: Nie, to maly zart.
Teraz juz przestalam byc taka drobiazgowa. Jestem szczesliwa, ze w ogole istnieja ksiazki po polsku, ze rynek sie nie zawalil. Z tej drobiazgowosci wyleczyly mnie harlequiny, bo w nich nie zgadza sie prawie nic z oryginalem. I szkoda mi juz nerwow na wyszukiwanie pojedynczych drobiazgow w powiesciach, ktore w sumie sa dobrze tlumaczone.
Jaja dzięcioła przeżyłam. Przy wciskaniu, myszkach, falach i Monice Rosie się skrzywiłam. Ale przy grzmoceniu domku po prostu musiałam się roześmiać.
"Jeśli chodzi o Jankę (Andrews) to lata walki o męża nie zwarzyły w niej mleka zwykłej ludzkiej życzliwości"
Nie przypominam sobie, żeby Janka walczyła o męża. A "mleko ludzkiej życzliwości" - co to jest???
A TERAZ UWAGA. PRZEŁKNIJCIE TO CO MACIE W USTACH!
"Jeszcze dalej był (...) stary sad, a w nim jabłonie, jeszcze nie pozbawione swoich obfitych, rumianych płodów"
Urzekły mnie te obfite, rumiane płody....
"Robin to rzeczywiście raszka, czyli rudzik, ale w Europie. W Ameryce ich nie ma, tam "robin" to właściwie "American robin", czyli właśnie drozd! I to on ma takie niebieskie jajeczka. Rudzik ma brązowawe, a dzięcioł białe."
No nareszcie rozumiem - mogły się te robiny tłumaczce pomylić, nie musiała wiedzieć jakie ptaki występują w Ameryce, a jakie w Europie. Czyli chodziło o jajeczka drozda.
A swoją drogą, i tak dobrze, że nowa tłumaczka napisała "jaja dzięcioła" a nie "jaja Robina". Mogłoby się skojarzyć z Robinem Hoodem albo Williamsem.
Hrabia ujął w dłoń czarny lok
dziewczyny i złożył na nim pocałunek. - Nigdy cię nie
opuszczę. Jesteś moja. Moja. A ja jestem twój. Na zawsze.
Eliza wiedziała, że mówił prawdę. Czuła to w głębi serca.
Nie potrzebowali obrączek, by stać się jednością. Od tej
chwili należała do Magnusa. I tak już miało pozostać.
Gdyby mogli połączyć się na zawsze... ale to nigdy nie
miało nastąpić. Eliza bardzo chciała wierzyć w świat taki,
jakim widział go Magnus. Świat, w którym pieniądze i pozycja
nie decydowały o wyborze małżonka. I w którym głupie
zasady towarzyskie nie determinowały losu kobiety.
Przez jedną jedyną noc pragnęła wierzyć w wizję wspólnego
życia.
I kiedy usta Magnusa ponownie przywarły do jej ust, nie
odrzuciła tej pieszczoty.
- Jesteśmy dla siebie stworzeni - powiedział Magnus.
Na ustach Elizy pojawił się uśmiech szczęścia. Przez kilka
chwil leżeli w zupełnym milczeniu, ona zaś gładziła ukochanego
po włosach.
I nagle zasuwka przy frontowych drzwiach zaskrzypiała
głośno. Eliza drgnęła gwałtownie, a na jej twarzy odmalowało
się przerażenie. Jęknęła.
Magnus zakrył dłonią usta Elizy, starając się ją uciszyć.
Ciotki i Grace wróciły do domu!
He lifted a long dark curl from her shoulder and drew it to his lips as he leaned closer to kiss her. “I will never leave ye. Ye’re mine. Mine.” He raised his mouth from hers and gazed deeply into her eyes. “And I am yers. Forever.”
And she knew it was true. It would not take a ring of gold to bind her to him. Eliza knew in her heart, from this moment, she was his, and would always be. A sob began working its way up her throat.
If only they could be together, the way he envisioned. But it was impossible. How she wanted to believe in his world. A world where money and position didn’t dictate who you must marry. Where Society’s fickle rules didn’t determine a woman’s destiny.
For one night, just one, she wanted to believe in the possibility of a life together.
This time, when Magnus’s mouth came ravenously down upon hers, she did not pull away. Instead, she opened her mouth to him.
Magnus slipped his right hand along the carpet then upward into the small of her back. He pulled her solidly against him. His lips left her mouth and swept across her cheek to the hollow behind her ear. He kissed her, again, lower still.
When he lifted his lips from her, Eliza plunged her fingers into the dark tumbles of his hair, not wanting his kisses to stop, trying to urge his mouth back to hers.
His breath came faster as he rose up from her, leaving her laying before him on the carpet as he loosened his cravat and unwound it with unbearable slowness. He dropped it to the floor, then leaned close and nipped her mouth teasingly with a quick kiss.
She chased his lips with her own, but he sat back on his heels, out of her reach, as he eased off his coat, then his waistcoat, and dropped them both to the floor.
Eliza reached out and grasped his shirt to pull him close, but instead his shirttails slipped from his breeches.
A dark smile lifted Magnus’s lips. Taking her boldness as an invitation, he peeled his shirt over his head and cast it to the carpet as well.
In the glow of the candlelight, his body appeared hard and angular, his skin golden and smooth. My God. She’d never seen anyone formed so perfectly.
Hesitantly, she reached out her hands to touch him, needing to feel the suppleness of his warm skin beneath her eager fingertips.
He sighed with approval as her bare hands met his rippled stomach and rode its cut plane upward to the muscled curves of his chest.
“Magnus,” she whispered as her fingertips brushed over his nipples. She watched them harden and tighten under her touch, and felt a pleasurable twinge between her legs.
Magnus leaned over her and once more he kissed her, harder this time. More urgently.
She moaned against him, knowing at that moment that tonight she would give everything. Take everything. Feel no regrets.
Magnus seemed to read her thoughts and his seduction became ever bolder.
Eliza watched his appreciative eyes twinkle as he boldly slipped her dress off her shoulders and pressed it down until it bunched about her middle; its sleeves wringing her wrists like bracelets. He looked into her eyes as he bit the tie that cinched her shift and tugged it loose. Slowly, his fingers drew back the linen until her half bare breasts rested atop her corset.
Eliza swallowed hard. This time there was no darkness to quell her modesty, and she struggled to cross her arms over her breasts to conceal her nakedness.
“Nay.” He ran his fingers lightly over her skin, drawing goose bumps to the surface. “Ye’re beautiful.”
Eliza said nothing, only stared up at him, her breath coming in short pants as her excitement mounted.
One after the other, he took her hands in his and pulled them from the rumpled sleeves of her dress. Slowly, he pressed a kiss into each of her palms, then drew her arms up and laid her hands near her shoulders, pinning them there in silent command.
He leaned down over her, and suddenly his lips were upon her throat, sending her heart pulsing madly as he kissed her. His hand slid up over her corset, over her ribs and higher still.
He pulled down the thin chemise covering her breasts and cupped one in his hand, making her groan with pleasure as he trailed a path of kisses across her chest. He stopped at last, allowing her only one scant breath before he closed his lips slowly, tantalizingly, over her nipple.
The sensation sent her mind spinning, and she reached out to grasp him in order to remind herself this was not a dreamthis was really happening. She sucked in a breath and clasped her hands to his head, running her fingers through his hair as he devoured her, driving her ever closer to delirium.
Just when she thought she could take no more, his hand moved slowly down her body to her ankle. Without a word, he trailed his fingers slowly up her silk stocking, nudging upward her chemise and gown, leaving it bunched at her waist. His hand stopped only when it touched her lightly between her thighs, making her body quiver with anticipation.
Eliza clung to Magnus as he kissed her, touched her. She pulled her mouth from him. “Magnus,” she panted. “Now.”
Magnus looked deep into her eyes, questioning, yet wanting.
“Yes.” Her courage soaring, she wedged her hand between their bodies and fumbled unsurely at the buttons of his breeches until the flap opened and she felt him. His erection stirred and pulsed against her palm, exciting her wildly as she led him to her center. She didn’t know for sure what she was doing. All she knew is that she wanted him there, needed him there.
Magnus stared at her, his eyes dark and primal.
She nodded slowly. “Forever,” she said, knowing this was what he wanted to hear. “Forever,” she repeated, her breath uneven, but her words sure.
Magnus kissed her deeply, then moved his body between her legs, parting them with his knees. He leaned over her and put his hand between her legs, touching her, stroking her. She arched beneath him.
Her fingers splayed, she clung to the broad plane of his back, urging him onward as he moved between her thighs.
Magnus closed his eyes and groaned as he skimmed her wetness, filling Eliza with exhilaration, with a female power she’d never before known.
This was it. After this moment, there would be no turning back. Ever. Her life would be forever changed. She would be ruined in the eyes of the world, but she would not stop now. For her heart was already his.
“Forever,” he whispered as he positioned himself over her then pressed his hardness slowly into her.
Eliza whimpered softly and tensed as he filled her. Deeper, he moved and soon the initial burn and sting of his claiming of her subsided.
He rocked against her, slowly at first, then faster.
She felt her body stretching, tightening around him, drawing him deeper. Surprising rivulets of tingling warmth urged her to move her hips, to meet him thrust for thrust. The drugging sensation grew, intensified, and she closed her eyes, allowed herself to be consumed by the core of heat emanating from the place where their bodies met.
Magnus drew up on his arms and watched her as he moved within her. He drove into her again and again.
Eliza bit her lower lips and thrashed her head against the carpet. She locked her legs around Magnus’s waist and held him tightly to her, controlling the pressure as he drove onward. Bucking against him, she cried out as something inside her ignited, then flared, sending liquid flames shooting from her center to every part of her body.
Magnus arched up suddenly and she felt him strain.
“Eliza” With a groan, he rested atop of her.
She clutched him to her. Not wanting to move. Not wanting to let the moment end.
Magnus kissed her. “We are right for each other, lass.”
A smile of contentment lifted her lips. For several minutes more, she stroked her fingers through his hair, down his back, and lower still, until, to her surprise, she felt his arousal again.
Wholly confused, she looked up and saw that he watched her intently. Suddenly the front door’s latch clicked loudly. Eliza’s eyes snapped wide. She gasped.
Magnus cupped his hand over her mouth to quiet her.
Her family had come home!
