English to Spanish: On a Chinese screen - Somerset Maugham General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English 1. The day wears on and it grows
warmer.
2. The coolies take off their coats and
walk stripped to the waist.
3. Then sometimes in a
man resting for an instant, his load on
the ground but the pole still on his
shoulders so that he has to rest slightly
crouched, you see the poor tired heart
beating against the ribs: you see it as
plainly as in some cases of heart
disease in the out-patients’ room of a
hospital.
4. It is strangely distressing to watch.
5. Then also you see the coolies' backs.
6. The pressure of the pole for long
years, day after day, has made hard red
scars, and sometimes there are open
sores, great sores without bandages or
dressing that rub against the wood;
7. but the strangest thing of all is that
sometimes, as though nature sought to
adapt man for these cruel uses to which
he is put, an odd malformation seems to
have arisen so that there is a sort of
hump, against which the pole rests.
8.But beating heart or angry sore, bitter
rain or burning sun notwithstanding,
they go on eternally, from dawn till dusk,
year in year out, from childhood to the
extreme of age.
9. You see old men without an ounce of
fat on their bodies, their skin loose on
their bones, wizened, their little faces
wrinkled and apelike with hair thin and
grey; and they totter under their burdens
to the edge of the grave in which at last
they shall have rest
Translation - Spanish 1. El día transcurre y se torna cálido.
2. Los culis se sacan sus abrigos y
caminan con el torso desnudo.
3. En algunas ocasiones, cuando un
hombre descansa su carga sobre el
suelo, la pértiga continúa sobre sus
hombros de manera que solo puede
descansar levemente agachado, así se
puede ver al pobre corazón extenuado
latiendo fuertemente contra las costillas:
al igual que en ciertos casos de
enfermedades cardíacas vistas en las
guardias de los hospitales.
4. Es un espectáculo triste de observar.
5. Luego al pasar, se pueden ver las
espaldas de los culis.
6. La presión que ejercen las pértigas
año tras año, día tras día, les ha
provocado profundas cicatrices
enrojecidas y en algunas ocasiones
hasta úlceras abiertas y de gran tamaño,
que sin apósito o vendaje alguno raspan
contra la madera;
7.pero lo más extraño de todo esto, es
que en algunas ocasiones, como si la
naturaleza se ensañara en adaptar a los
hombres para estos crueles trabajos,
una extraña malformación pareciera
erigirse en forma de joroba, como la de
los camellos, justo donde descansa la
pértiga.
8. Pero aunque el corazón lata fuerte o
las úlceras irriten, bajo la helada lluvia o
bajo el ardiente sol, a pesar de todo
esto, los culis trabajan eternamente, de
sol a sombra, año tras año, de la niñez
hasta sus últimos días.
9. Se los puede ver ya ancianos, sin un
gramo de grasa en sus cuerpos, con la
piel suelta de sus huesos, demacrados,
sus caras empequeñecidas y casi
simiescas, con sus cabellos grises y
finos tambaleando bajo sus pesadas
cargas hasta el filo de sus tumbas en las
que finalmente hallarán descanso.
