Papo furado

French translation: conversation de circonstance

Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / papo furado
Portuguese term or phrase: Papo furado
Olá pessoal,

Contexto : um primeiro encontro entre uma mulher e um homem que não da certo, as pessoas não conseguem puxar assunto.

“Pois então, a lua sempre parece mais bonita aqui na praia, não é?” Maria sabia que o papo era furado, e pensou: Porque
sempre falamos da lua quando não temos nada para falar?"

"Des craques, des bobards" pode ser ? Et le "pois então" ?

Mille merci,

French translation:conversation de circonstance
Explanation:
Plus que faire la conversation ou engager la conversation, le fait de parler du temps ou de la lune ressemble plutôt à une conversation de circonstances.
"Pois então" pourrait se traduire par "de fait".

Autre solution: Marie savait qu'il s' agissait là de futilités et se demandait pourquoi parlons-nous toujours de la lune lorsque nous n'avons pas d'autre sujet de conversation.

Selon le style de l'auteur, bobards pourrait remplacer futilités mais dans l'extrait que vous avez mis à notre disposition, papo furado n'est pas, selon moi, un mensonge.

Asker: Juste une petite question en plus : Le "papo furado" a-t-il à voir aussi avec des mensonges dans ce cas là ?

Asker: C'est vrai que c'est vraiment "une conversation de circonstances" dans ce cas-là, merci beaucoup, bien à vous !
