Querida lectora o lector,<\/p>\n

La semana pasada, nos ocupó un pequeño rompecabezas: cómo traducir el sustantivo inglés fish<\/em> al  español.  Resultó que en español importa si la criatura se encuentra vivito y coleando en el agua, o, por lo contrario, yaciendo en un plato.  Es decir: “pez” o “pescado”.<\/p>\n

Esta diferenciación no encuentra ningún eco en el inglés, donde a fish is a fish.<\/em> Sin embargo, una ojeada a una serie de otros vocablos nos mostró que no debemos caer en estereotipos, que por cada caso como el de pez\/pescado, hay otro en que le toca el turno al inglés diferenciar donde el español agrupa sentidos (fingers\/toe <\/em>vs “dedos”).<\/p>\n

Consideremos ahora otro rompecabezas: cómo traducir al inglés una expresión como “¡Dios me la bendiga!”  El desafío, claro, está en ese pequeño objeto indirecto, “me”, sin el cual, se obtiene simplemente “May God bless you”.<\/em><\/p>\n

¡Pero vaya si el “me” no complica el asunto!<\/p>\n

En expresiones parecidas, como “Se me murió el perro”, el “me” está transmitiendo lo personal del asunto, de qué manera la persona quedó afectado por esa pérdida. En inglés informal, hay cómo expresar ese matiz: My dog died on me.<\/em>  Ese on me<\/em> da la nota personal equivalente al “me” español.<\/p>\n

Pero en la invocación a la bendición divina, no cabe esa nota. Linda con lo intraducible. Eso sí, podríamos refrasear: “My prayer is that God bless you”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Good words!<\/em><\/p>\n

Pablo<\/p>\n
