spooning

Serbian translation: Vi ste, sto bi rekao dr Spuner, plac i cipka.

English to Serbian translations [PRO]
Linguistics / Expression, pun
English term or phrase: spooning
Rečenica glasi:

“You’re the sort of person Dr. Spooner would have called a shining wit.”

Na prvi pogled rečenica mi se ucinila kao šaljivo pominjanje nekog lika iz američkog programa za decu ili crtaća. Na moju sreću ili nesreću odlučih da proverim ko je Dr. Spuner…

Dr. Viliem Arčibald Spuner, bio je dekan oksfordskog Nju Koledža. Svoje ime pozajmio je igri reči koja mu je bila jako svojstvena, a u kojoj se zamenjuju odgovarajući suglasnici, samoglasnici i slogovi.

Kao na primeru date rečenice: Shining Wit=Whining Shit.

Bio bih jako zahvalan ukoliko neko ima ikakvu sugestiju koja bi se mogla primeniti na naš jezik i igre reči…

spoonerism
spunerizam


Explanation:
ovako bez ikakvog konteksta, ja bih to prevela kao:

"Ljudi bi rekli da kukash kao (neki) shonja" ili tome slicno.

termin "spooning" bi trebalo promeniti u "spoonerism" zato sto spooning ima drugo znacenje.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ljudi bi rekli da kukash kao (neki) shonja.

agree  Dragana Gavrilovic (X): prevod nije dobar ("whining shit" se trazi)

  -> hvala Dragana! Mislim da je bitnije prenesti igru reci nego bukvalno prevesti u ovom slucaju, bukvalam prevod uz igru reci nisam basla, doduse nas jezik i nije lak za tako nesto. iako i ovde "pari i zali" i nije nesto, priznajem!

Vi ste, sto bi rekao dr Spuner, jedno hrabro srce.


Explanation:
Trazi se prevod izraza whining shit (moja prva aasocijacija je placipicka). Cilj prevoda nije u igri reci (mogli bismo da se posluzimo satrovackim ciplacipka), vec u izbegavanju vulgarnosti i u ironicnoj karakterizaciji.

Sto bi rekao dr Spuner, vi sijate kao sunce.


Explanation:
Ako je tekst lingvisticke prirode i treba se skoncentrisati na igru recima, koju mi mozemo zameniti jedino idiomom ili nekim izrazom, dolazim do resenja da je whining shit neko ko cesto place ko kisa, te je antonim sijati kao sunce.
