Aspetta qua, - disse il Bandi al D'Andrea.
wait|here|he said|the|Bandi|to the|D'Andrea
Wait here, - said Bandi to D'Andrea.
- Vado a prevenirla.
I go|to|to prevent her
- I'm going to warn her.
Se s'ostina ancora, entrerai per forza.
if|she insists|still|you will enter|by|force
If she insists again, you will have to enter.
Miopi tutti e due, parlavano vicinissimi, in piedi, l'uno di fronte all'altro.
nearsighted|both|and|two|they were talking|very close|in|standing|each other|of|front|
Both myopic, they spoke very close to each other, standing face to face.
Parevano fratelli, della stessa età, della stessa corporatura: alti, magri, rigidi, di quella rigidezza angustiosa di chi fa tutto a puntino, con meticolosità.
they seemed|brothers|of the|same|age|||build|tall|thin|rigid|of|that|rigidity|distressing|of|who|does|everything|in|precise|with|meticulousness
They looked like brothers, of the same age, of the same build: tall, thin, stiff, with that anxious stiffness of someone who does everything meticulously, with precision.
Ed era raro il caso che, parlando così tra loro, l'uno non aggiustasse all'altro col dito il sellino delle lenti sul naso, o il nodo della cravatta sotto il mento, oppure, non trovando nulla da aggiustare, non toccasse all'altro i bottoni della giacca.
and|it was|rare|the|case|that|speaking|so|between|them|one|not|he adjusted|to the other|with|finger|the|saddle|of the|lenses|on the|nose|or|the|knot|of the|tie|under|the|chin|or|not|finding|nothing|to|to adjust|not|he touched|to the other|the|buttons|of the|jacket
And it was rare that, while talking like this, one did not adjust the other's glasses on their nose with a finger, or the knot of their tie under the chin, or, finding nothing to adjust, did not touch the buttons of the other's jacket.
Parlavano, del resto, pochissimo.
they were talking|of the|rest|very little
Besides, they spoke very little.
E la tristezza taciturna della loro indole si mostrava chiaramente nello squallore dei volti.
and|the|sadness|silent|of the|their|nature|themselves|it showed|clearly|in the|squalor|of the|faces
And the taciturn sadness of their nature was clearly shown in the bleakness of their faces.
Cresciuti insieme, avevano studiato ajutandosi a vicenda fino all'Università, dove poi l'uno s'era laureato in legge, l'altro in medicina.
grown|together|they had|studied|helping each other|to|mutual|until|to the University|where|then|one|he had|graduated|in|law|the other|in|medicine
Having grown up together, they had studied helping each other until university, where one graduated in law and the other in medicine.
Divisi ora, durante il giorno, dalle diverse professioni, sul tramonto facevano ancora insieme quotidianamente la loro passeggiata lungo il viale all'uscita del paese.
divided|now|during|the|day|by the|different|professions|at the|sunset|they used to do|still|together|daily|the|their|walk|along|the|avenue|at the exit|of the|village
Now divided during the day by their different professions, at sunset they still took their daily walk together along the avenue at the edge of town.
Si conoscevano così a fondo, che bastava un lieve cenno, uno sguardo, una parola, perché l'uno comprendesse subito il pensiero dell'altro.
themselves|they knew|so|to|depth|that|it was enough|a|slight|gesture|one|glance|a|word|because|the one|he understood|immediately|the|thought|of the other
They knew each other so well that a slight gesture, a glance, a word was enough for one to immediately understand the other's thoughts.
Dimodoché quella loro passeggiata principiava ogni volta con un breve scambio di frasi e seguitavano poi in silenzio, come se l'uno avesse dato all'altro da ruminare per un pezzo.
so that|that|their|walk|it began|every|time|with|a|short|exchange|of|phrases|and|they continued|then|in|silence|as|if|the one|he had|given|to the other|to|to ponder|for|a|while
So that their walk always began with a brief exchange of phrases and then continued in silence, as if one had given the other something to ponder for a while.
E andavano a testa bassa, come due cavalli stanchi; entrambi con le mani dietro la schiena.
and|they went|at|head|down|as|two|horses|tired|both|with|the|hands|behind|the|back
And they walked with their heads down, like two tired horses; both with their hands behind their backs.
A nessuno dei due veniva mai la tentazione di volgere un po' il capo verso la ringhiera del viale per godere la vista dell'aperta campagna sottostante, svariata di poggi e di valli e di piani, col mare in fondo, che s'accendeva tutto agli ultimi fuochi del tramonto: vista di tanta bellezza, che pareva perfino incredibile che quei due vi potessero passar davanti così, senza neppure voltarsi a guardare.
to|no one|of the|two|it came|never|the|temptation|to|to turn|a|little|the|head|towards|the|railing|of the|avenue|to|to enjoy|the|view|of the open|countryside|underlying|varied|of|hills|and|of|valleys|and|of|plains|with|sea|in|background|that|it lit up|all|to the|last|fires|of the|sunset|view|of|so much|beauty|that|it seemed|even|incredible|that|those|two|to them|they could|to pass|in front|like this|without|even|to turn|to|to look
Neither of them ever felt the temptation to turn their heads a bit towards the railing of the avenue to enjoy the view of the open countryside below, varied with hills and valleys and plains, with the sea in the distance, which was all lit up by the last embers of the sunset: a sight of such beauty that it seemed almost incredible that those two could pass by it like that, without even turning to look.
Giorni addietro il Bandi aveva detto al D'Andrea:
days|ago|the|Bandi|he had|said|to the|D'Andrea
Days ago, Bandi had said to D'Andrea:
- Eleonora non sta bene.
Eleonora|not|she is|well
- Eleonora is not well.
Il D'Andrea aveva guardato negli occhi l'amico e compreso che il male della sorella doveva esser lieve:
the|D'Andrea|he had|looked|in the|eyes|the friend|and|understood|that|the|illness|of the|sister|it had to be|to be|mild
D'Andrea had looked into his friend's eyes and understood that his sister's illness must be mild:
- Vuoi che venga a visitarla?
do you want|that|I come|to|to visit her
- Do you want me to come visit her?
- Dice di no.
he/she says|to|no
- She says no.
E tutti e due, passeggiando, s'erano messi a pensare con le ciglia aggrottate, quasi per rancore, a quella donna che aveva fatto loro da madre e a cui dovevano tutto.
and|all|and|two|walking|they had|put|to|to think|with|the|eyelashes|furrowed|almost|for|resentment|to|that|woman|who|she had|done|to them|as|mother|and|to|whom|they owed|everything
And both of them, walking, had begun to think with furrowed brows, almost out of resentment, about that woman who had acted as their mother and to whom they owed everything.
Il D'Andrea aveva perduto da ragazzo i genitori ed era stato accolto in casa d'uno zio, che non avrebbe potuto in alcun modo provvedere alla riuscita di lui.
the|D'Andrea|he had|lost|as|boy|the|parents|and|he was|been|welcomed|in|house|of an|uncle|that|not|he would|could|in|any|way|to provide|to the|success|of|him
D'Andrea had lost his parents as a boy and had been taken in by an uncle, who could not in any way provide for his success.
Eleonora Bandi, rimasta orfana anch'essa a diciotto anni col fratello molto più piccolo di lei, industriandosi dapprima con minute e sagge economie su quel po' che le avevano lasciato i genitori, poi lavorando, dando lezioni di pianoforte e di canto, aveva potuto mantenere agli studii il fratello, e anche l'amico indivisibile di lui.
Eleonora|Bandi|remained|orphan|also|at|eighteen|years|with|brother|very|more|small|than|her|working hard|at first|with|small|and|wise|economies|on|that|little|that|to her|they had|left|the|parents|then|working|giving|lessons|of|piano|and|of|singing|she had|been able|to maintain|to the|studies|the|brother|and|also|the friend|inseparable|of|him
Eleonora Bandi, who also became an orphan at eighteen with her much younger brother, initially managing with small and wise economies on what little their parents had left them, then working, giving piano and singing lessons, had been able to support her brother's studies, and also his inseparable friend.
- In compenso però, - soleva dire ridendo ai due giovani - mi son presa tutta la carne che manca a voi due.
in|compensation|however|she used|to say|laughing|to the|two|young|myself|I am|taken|all|the|meat|that|missing|to|you|two
- In return though, - she used to say laughing to the two young men - I have taken all the meat that is missing for both of you.
Era infatti un donnone che non finiva mai; ma aveva tuttavia dolcissimi i lineamenti del volto, e l'aria ispirata di quegli angeloni di marmo che si vedono nelle chiese, con le tuniche svolazzanti.
it was|in fact|a|big woman|that|not|it ended|ever|but|she had|however|very sweet|the|features|of the|face|and|the air|inspired|of|those|big angels|of|marble|that|themselves|they see|in the|churches|with|the|tunics|fluttering
She was indeed a big woman who seemed never-ending; but she still had the sweetest features of her face, and the inspired air of those marble angels that are seen in churches, with their fluttering tunics.
E lo sguardo dei begli occhi neri, che le lunghe ciglia quasi vellutavano, e il suono della voce armoniosa pareva volessero anch'essi attenuare, con un certo studio che le dava pena, l'impressione d'alterigia che quel suo corpo così grande poteva destare sulle prime; e ne sorrideva mestamente.
and|the|gaze|of the|beautiful|eyes|black|that|to her|long|eyelashes|almost|they softened|and|the|sound|of the|voice|harmonious|it seemed|they wanted|also|to soften|with|a|certain|effort|that|to her|it gave|pain|the impression|of arrogance|that|that|her|body|so|big|it could|to arouse|on the|first|and|of her|she smiled|sadly
And the gaze of her beautiful black eyes, which her long eyelashes almost softened, and the sound of her harmonious voice seemed to also want to mitigate, with a certain effort that caused her pain, the impression of haughtiness that her large body could initially evoke; and she smiled sadly.
Sonava e cantava, forse non molto correttamente ma con foga appassionata.
it sounded|and|it sang|perhaps|not|very|correctly|but|with|fervor|passionate
She played and sang, perhaps not very correctly but with passionate fervor.
Se non fosse nata e cresciuta fra i pregiudizii d'una piccola città e non avesse avuto l'impedimento di quel fratellino, si sarebbe forse avventurata alla vita di teatro.
if|not|she was|born|and|raised|among|the|prejudices|of a|small|town|and|not|she had|had|the impediment|of|that|little brother|she|she would|perhaps|ventured|to the|life|of|theater
If she had not been born and raised among the prejudices of a small town and had not had the hindrance of that little brother, she might have ventured into a life in the theater.
Era stato quello, un tempo, il suo sogno; nient'altro che un sogno però.
it was|been|that|a|time|the|his|dream|nothing else|that|a|dream|however
That had once been his dream; nothing more than a dream, however.
Aveva ormai circa quarant'anni.
he/she had|now|about|forty years
He was now about forty years old.
La considerazione, del resto, di cui godeva in paese per quelle sue doti artistiche la compensava, almeno in parte, del sogno fallito, e la soddisfazione d'averne invece attuato un altro, quello cioè d'avere schiuso col proprio lavoro l'avvenire a due poveri orfani, la compensava del lungo sacrifizio di se stessa.
the|consideration|of the|rest|of|which|he/she enjoyed|in|village|for|those|his/her|talents|artistic|the|it compensated|at least|in|part|of the|dream|failed|and|the|satisfaction|of having|instead|realized|a|another|that|namely|of having|opened|with|own|work|the future|to|two|poor|orphans|the|it compensated|of the|long|sacrifice|of|herself|
The consideration, after all, that he enjoyed in the village for his artistic talents compensated him, at least in part, for the failed dream, and the satisfaction of having instead realized another one, that is, of having opened the future for two poor orphans with his work, compensated him for the long sacrifice of himself.
Il dottor D'Andrea attese un buon pezzo nel salotto, che l'amico ritornasse a chiamarlo.
the|doctor|D'Andrea|he waited|a|good|while|in the|living room|that|the friend|he returned|to|to call him
Doctor D'Andrea waited a good while in the living room for his friend to come back and call him.
Quel salotto pieno di luce, quantunque dal tetto basso, arredato di mobili già consunti, d'antica foggia, respirava quasi un'aria d'altri tempi e pareva s'appagasse, nella quiete dei due grandi specchi a riscontro, dell'immobile visione della sua antichità scolorita.
that|living room|full|of|light|although|from the|roof|low|furnished|with|furniture|already|worn|ancient|style|it breathed|almost|an air|of other|times|and|it seemed|it satisfied itself|in the|quiet|of the|two|large|mirrors|at|facing|of the immobile|vision|of the|its|antiquity|faded
That living room full of light, although with a low ceiling, furnished with already worn furniture of ancient style, almost breathed an air of other times and seemed to be satisfied, in the quiet of the two large mirrors facing each other, with the immobile vision of its faded antiquity.
I vecchi ritratti di famiglia appesi alle pareti erano, là dentro, i veri e soli inquilini.
the|old|portraits|of|family|hanging|to the|walls|they were|there|inside|the|true|and|only|tenants
The old family portraits hanging on the walls were, in there, the true and only tenants.
Di nuovo, c'era soltanto il pianoforte a mezzacoda, il pianoforte d'Eleonora, che le figure effigiate in quei ritratti pareva guardassero in cagnesco.
of|again|there was|only|the|piano|at|grand|the|piano|of Eleonora|that|the|figures|depicted|in|those|portraits|it seemed|they were looking|in|angrily
Again, there was only the grand piano, Eleonora's piano, which the figures depicted in those portraits seemed to look at with disdain.
Spazientito, alla fine, dalla lunga attesa, il dottore si alzò, andò fino alla soglia, sporse il capo, udí piangere nella camera di là, attraverso l'uscio chiuso.
impatient|to the|end|from the|long|wait|the|doctor|himself|he stood up|he went|until|to the|threshold|he leaned|the|head|he heard|to cry|in the|room|of|there|through|the door|closed
Impatient, finally, from the long wait, the doctor stood up, went to the threshold, leaned his head out, and heard crying in the room beyond, through the closed door.
Allora si mosse e andò a picchiare con le nocche delle dita a quell'uscio.
then|himself|he moved|and|he went|to|to knock|with|the|knuckles|of the|fingers|to|that door
Then he moved and went to knock with his knuckles on that door.
- Entra, - gli disse il Bandi, aprendo.
enter|to him|he said|the|Bandi|opening
- Come in, - said Bandi, opening.
- Non riesco a capire perché s'ostina così.
not|I can|to|to understand|why|he insists|like this
- I can't understand why he insists so much.
- Ma perché non ho nulla!
but|why|not|I have|anything
- But because I have nothing!
- gridò Eleonora tra le lagrime.
she shouted|Eleonora|between|the|tears
- Eleonora shouted through her tears.
Stava a sedere su un ampio seggiolone di cuojo, vestita come sempre di nero, enorme e pallida; ma sempre con quel suo viso di bambinona, che ora pareva più che mai strano, e forse più ambiguo che strano, per un certo indurimento negli occhi, quasi di folle fissità, ch'ella voleva tuttavia dissimulare.
she was|to|to sit|on|a|wide|high chair|of|leather|dressed|as|always|in|black|huge|and|pale|but|always|with|that|her|face|of|big baby|that|now|it seemed|more|than|ever|strange|and|perhaps|more|ambiguous|than|strange|for|a|certain|hardening|in the|eyes|almost|of|crazy|fixity|that she|she wanted|however|to dissimulate
She was sitting in a large leather armchair, dressed as always in black, huge and pale; but still with that big baby face of hers, which now seemed stranger than ever, and perhaps more ambiguous than strange, due to a certain hardness in her eyes, almost a mad fixity, which she still wanted to conceal.
- Non ho nulla, v'assicuro, - ripeté più pacatamente.
not|I have|anything|I assure you|he/she repeated|more|calmly
- I have nothing, I assure you, - she repeated more calmly.
- Per carità, lasciatemi in pace: non vi date pensiero di me.
for|charity|let me|in|peace|not|you|you give|thought|of|me
- For heaven's sake, leave me alone: don't worry about me.
- Va bene!
it goes|well
- Alright!
- concluse il fratello, duro e cocciuto.
he concluded|the|brother|hard|and|stubborn
- concluded the brother, tough and stubborn.
- Intanto, qua c'è Carlo.
in the meantime|here|there is|Carlo
- In the meantime, here is Carlo.
Lo dirà lui quello che hai.
him|he will say|he|that|which|you have
He will say what you have.
- E uscí dalla camera, richiudendo con furia l'uscio dietro di sé.
and|he/she went out|from the|room|closing|with|fury|the door|behind|of|himself/herself
- And he left the room, slamming the door behind him.
Eleonora si recò le mani al volto e scoppiò in violenti singhiozzi.
Eleonora|herself|she brought|the|hands|to the|face|and|she burst|in|violent|sobs
Eleonora brought her hands to her face and burst into violent sobs.
Il D'Andrea rimase un pezzo a guardarla, fra seccato e imbarazzato; poi domandò:
the|D'Andrea|he remained|a|piece|to|to look at her|between|annoyed|and|embarrassed|then|he asked
D'Andrea stayed for a while watching her, both annoyed and embarrassed; then he asked:
- Perché?
why
- Why?
Che cos'ha?
what|does he/she have
What's wrong?
Non può dirlo neanche a me?
not|he/she can|to say it|even|to|me
Can't she even tell me?
E come Eleonora seguitava a singhiozzare, le s'appressò, provò a scostarle con fredda delicatezza una mano dal volto:
and|how|Eleonora|she continued|to|to sob|to her|he/she approached|he/she tried|to|to move them|with|cold|delicacy|a|hand|from the|face
And as Eleonora continued to sob, he approached her, trying to gently move a hand away from her face with cold delicacy:
- Si calmi, via; lo dica a me; ci son qua io.
himself/herself|calm|go away|it|say|to|me|us|I am|here|I
- Calm down, come on; tell me; I'm here.
Eleonora scosse il capo; poi, d'un tratto, afferrò con tutt'e due le mani la mano di lui, contrasse il volto, come per un fitto spasimo, e gemette:
Eleonora|she shook|the|head|then|of a|sudden|she grabbed|with|both|two|the|hands|the|hand|of|him|she contracted|the|face|as|for|a|dense|spasm|and|she moaned
Eleonora shook her head; then, suddenly, she grabbed his hand with both of hers, contorted her face as if in a tight spasm, and moaned:
- Carlo!
Carlo
- Carlo!
Carlo!
Carlo
Carlo!
Il D'Andrea si chinò su lei, un po' impacciato nel suo rigido contegno.
the|D'Andrea|himself|he bent|on|her|a|a little|awkward|in the|his|rigid|demeanor
D'Andrea leaned over her, a bit awkward in his rigid demeanor.
- Mi dica…
to me|say
- Tell me...
Allora ella gli appoggiò una guancia su la mano e pregò disperatamente, a bassa voce:
then|she|to him|she leaned|a|cheek|on|the|hand|and|she prayed|desperately|in|low|voice
Then she rested her cheek on his hand and prayed desperately, in a low voice:
- Fammi, fammi morire, Carlo; ajutami tu, per carità!
let me|make me|to die|Carlo|help me|you|for|charity
- Let me die, Carlo; help me, for God's sake!
non trovo il modo; mi manca il coraggio, la forza.
not|I find|the|way|to me|it is missing|the|courage|the|strength
I can't find a way; I lack the courage, the strength.
- Morire?

- Che dice?

- What does he say?

Why?
- Morire, sì!

she replied|her|suffocated|by|sobs

- Insegnami tu il modo.
teach me|you|the|way
- Teach me the way.
Tu sei medico.

La morte sola.

Egli la fissò, stupito.
he|her|he stared|surprised
He stared at her, astonished.
Anche lei alzò gli occhi a guardarlo, ma subito li richiuse, contraendo di nuovo il volto e restringendosi in sé, quasi colta da improvviso, vivissimo ribrezzo.
also|she|she raised|the|eyes|to|to look at him|but|immediately|them|she closed|contracting|of|again|the|face|and|shrinking|in|herself|almost|caught|by|sudden|very strong|disgust
She also raised her eyes to look at him, but immediately closed them again, contracting her face and shrinking back into herself, as if suddenly struck by a vivid, intense disgust.
- Sì, sì, - disse poi, risolutamente.
yes|yes|he said|then|resolutely
- Yes, yes, - she then said, resolutely.
- Io, sì, Carlo: perduta!
I|yes|Carlo|lost
- I, yes, Carlo: lost!
perduta!

Istintivamente il D'Andrea ritrasse la mano, ch'ella teneva ancora tra le sue.
instinctively|the|D'Andrea|he withdrew|the|hand|that she|she was holding|still|between|the|her
Instinctively, D'Andrea withdrew his hand, which she still held between hers.
- Come!

Senza guardarlo, ella si pose un dito su la bocca, poi indicò la porta:
without|looking at him|she|herself|she placed|a|finger|on|the|mouth|then|she pointed|the|door
Without looking at him, she put a finger to her mouth, then pointed to the door:

- If only he knew!
Non dirgli nulla, per pietà!
not|to tell him|anything|for|pity
Don't tell him anything, for pity's sake!
Fammi prima morire; dammi, dammi qualche cosa: la prenderò come una medicina; crederò che sia una medicina, che mi dai tu; purché sia subito!

Ah, I have no courage, I have no courage!
Da due mesi, vedi, mi dibatto in quest'agonia, senza trovar la forza, il modo di farla finita.
for|two|months|you see|myself|I struggle|in|this agony|without|to find|the|strength|the|way|to|to do it|finished
For two months, you see, I have been struggling in this agony, without finding the strength, the way to end it.

What help can you give me, you, Carlo, what do you say?

- ripeté il D'Andrea, ancora smarrito nello stupore.
he repeated|the|D'Andrea|still|lost|in the|astonishment
- D'Andrea repeated, still lost in astonishment.
Eleonora stese di nuovo le mani per prendergli un braccio e, guardandolo con occhi supplichevoli, soggiunse:
Eleonora|she stretched|of|again|the|hands|to|to take him|an|arm|and|looking at him|with|eyes|pleading|she added
Eleonora stretched out her hands again to take his arm and, looking at him with pleading eyes, added:

if|not|you want|to make me|to die|not|you could|in|some|other|way|to save me
- If you don't want to make me die, couldn't you... save me in some other way?
Il D'Andrea, a questa proposta, s'irrigidí più che mai, aggrottando severamente le ciglia.
the|D'Andrea|to|this|proposal|he stiffened|more|than|ever|frowning|severely|the|eyebrows
D'Andrea, to this proposal, stiffened more than ever, furrowing his brows severely.

Se tu credi che io abbia fatto qualche cosa per voi, per te, ajutami ora, salvami!

- said D'Andrea, finding, in front of her terrible distress, that this question was only for his astonished curiosity.
Di nuovo Eleonora indicò la porta e si coprí il volto con le mani:
of|again|Eleonora|she pointed|the|door|and|herself|she covered|the|face|with|the|hands
Again Eleonora pointed to the door and covered her face with her hands:
