Awake

Non-PRO English to Italian Social Sciences History
Salve.....Come tradurreste in questo caso il termine "Awake?"
"Its failures (Quelle di questa nazione,NDR) [...] must be bared remorselessly to its knowledge of self. But the knowledge of error must be the alarm to its ancient virtues that they, fully awake again, may raise America to the dignity and power of her inevitable mission". Grazie!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

una volta ridestate (o: "risvegliate", meno aulico)

perché "awake" lo intendo riferito alle virtù, anche se l'inglese mi pare un pochino fumoso...

oh, vedo ora che la mia risposta all'Asker, postata ore fa, non è apparsa. Dicevo: "Ottimo, ci confermiamo a vicenda" :-)
Note from asker:
Ma certo, anch'io rileggendolo più di una volta l'ho valutato riferito alle "Virtù". Altrimenti, non mi sarei posto il problema.

agree luskie : sì, la consapevolezza degli errori dovrebbe stimolare le vecchie virtù a ridestarsi e risollevare le sorti del mondo... ma quando mai!? :)

agree Lorraine Buckley (X) : e starei con 'ridestate', proprio per lo stile particolare dell'originale (le virtù che salvano una nazione?? - e le antiche virtù degli USA credo risalgano almeno a Teddy Roosevelt, se non fino ad Abramo Lincoln!)

concordo, anch'io trovo "ridestate" più calzante con il tono dell'originale. Grazie! :-)
