English to Spanish: The Stewardess Swims Over the Sea, by Mark A. Jarman General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English We are jammed together in the sky like caged rodents and I have seen it all, know everything about you, your doe-eyed 4H calf from another lifetime, the Mars bar you stole from Nancy Green’s ski jacket, the kitchen party that introduced your face to the beauty of the linoleum. And I know that you are flying from Edmonton to Fredericton with your mother’s ashes in the overhead compartment, the funeral home’s purple drawstring bag that is surprisingly heavy, heavy as guilt. Yet your enjoyment of carrying your old mother around.
Translation - Spanish Nos atascan juntos en el cielo como roedores enjaulados y pude verlo todo, sé todo sobre ti, tu ternero 4H de ojos enormes que tenías cuando niño, la barra de chocolate que te robaste de la chamarra de Nancy Green, la fiesta en la cocina donde tu cara conoció por primera vez la hermosura del linóleo. Sé que estás viajando de Edmonton a Fredericton con las cenizas de tu madre en el compartimiento superior, esa bolsa púrpura con cordón que te dieron en la funeraria y que pesa sorprendentemente mucho, tanto como la culpa. Tu felicidad de ir cargando a tu vieja madre por todas partes.

Source text - English CORA: No, dis round’s on me. I run into luck. Dat’s why I dragged Chuck outa bed to celebrate. It was a sailor. I rolled him. (She giggles.) Listen, it was a scream. I’ve run into some nutty souses, but dis guy was de nuttiest. De booze dey dish out around de Brooklyn Navy Yard must be as turrible bug-juice as Harry’s. My dogs was givin’ out when I seen dis guy holdin’ up a lamppost, so I hurried to get him before a cop did. I says, “Hello, handsome, wanta have a good time?” Jees, he was paralysed! One of dem polite jags. He tries to bow to me, imagine, and I had to prop him up or he’d fell on his nose. And what d’yuh tink he said? “Lady,” he says, “can yuh kindly tell me de nearest way to de Museum of Natural History?” (They all laugh.) Can yuh imagine! At 2 am. As if I’d know where de dump was anyway. But I says, “Sure ting, Honey Boy, I’ll be only too glad.” So I steered him into a side street where it was dark and propped him against a wall and give him a frisk. (She giggles.) And what d’yuh tink he does? Jees, I ain’t lyin’, he begins to laugh, de big sap! He says, “Quit ticklin’ me.” While I was friskin’ him for his roll! I near died! Den I toined him ’round and give him a push to start him. “Just keep goin’,” I told him. “It’s a big white building on your right. You can’t miss it.” He must be swimmin’ in de North River yet! […] I picked twelve bucks offa him. Come on, Rocky. Set ’em up.
Translation - Spanish CORA: No, no, no (se levanta de la silla), yo disparo esta ronda. (Camina hacia el frente de la barra y se recarga.) No saben la suerte que tuve hoy. (Hacia Chuck) Por eso saqué a Chuck de la cama para celebrar. (Hacia el público) Un soldado. Lo desplumé. (Se ríe resoplando con desdén) No, qué ridículo. Me he topado a varios ebrios medio tocados, pero ninguno como ése. El alcohol que dan alrededor del Militar ha de ser un brebaje peor que el de Harry. (Se yergue para recrear mejor la noche anterior) Me estaban matando los pies cuando vi a este güey hasta la madre abrazado a un poste, así que me apuré a alcanzarlo antes que los polis, ¿no? Pues le digo “Hola, papi, ¿quieres pasar un buen rato?” ¡y que se queda tieso! Uno de esos niñitos quesque educados. Intentó hacerme una reverencia, cómo ven, y tuve que levantarlo o se habría ido de boca. ¿Y qué creen que me dijo? (con ademanes exagerados) “Señorita”, me dice, “¿podría por favor indicarme la forma más rápida de llegar al Museo de Historia Natural?” (Todos se ríen.) ¡A las 2 de la mañana! Como si fuera yo a saber dónde está el chiquero ése. Y que le digo “Claro, bombón, con todo el gusto”, y me lo llevo a un callejoncito oscuro de poray, lo pongo contra la pared y le doy una revisadita. (Se ríe mientras hace ademán de cachear a alguien) ¿Y qué creen que hizo? Por Dios que pa’ qué les miento, ¡se empieza a reír, el baboso! Me dice, “Me estás haciendo cosquillas”, ¡cuando lo estaba revisando pa’ encontrarle el fajo! ¡Casi me muero! Le di la vuelta y un empujón pa' que se fuera y le digo, (señalando) “Mira, tú síguete derecho nomás. Es un edificio blanco bien grande a tu derecha. No hay pierde.” ¡Orita ya ha de estar nadando en el río de los Remedios! (Se ríe) […] Le saqué unos doscientos pesos. (Hacia Rocky) Ándale, Rocky. Sírveles.
English to Spanish: Fable: The Camel and the Pig General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English A CAMEL said, "Nothing like being tall and fit, how tall I am!"
A pig, who heard these words, said, "Nothing like being short and fit; look, how short I am!"
The camel said, "Well, if I fail to prove the truth of what I said, I shall give up my hump."
The pig said, "If I fail to prove the truth of what I have said, I shall give up my snout."
"Agreed!" said the camel.
"Just so!" said the pig.
They came to a garden. It was enclosed by a low wall without any opening. The camel stood on this side the wall, and reaching the plants within by means of his long neck, made a breakfast on them. Then he turned jeeringly to the pig, who had been standing at the bottom of the wall, without even having a look at the good things in the garden, and said, "Now, would you be tall, or short?"
Next they came to another garden. It was enclosed by a high wall, with a wicket gate at one end. The pig entered by the gate, and, after having eaten his fill of the vegetables within, came out, laughing at the camel who had had to stay outside because he was too tall to enter the garden by the gate, and said, "Now, would you be tall, or short?"
Then they thought the matter over, and came to the conclusion that the camel should keep his hump and the pig his snout, observing, "Tall is good where tall would do; of short, again, it's also true."

Translation - Spanish UN CAMELLO dijo:
—Nada como ser grande y estar en forma, ¡qué grande soy!
Un cerdito, que escuchó sus palabras, exclamó:
—Nada como ser pequeño y estar en forma; ¡mira lo pequeño que soy!
—Si no puedo probar que lo digo es verdad, renunciaré a mi joroba —respondió el camello.
—Y si yo no logro probar que lo que yo digo es verdad, renunciaré a mi trompa —dijo el cerdito.
—¡De acuerdo! — asintió el camello.
—¡Me parece justo! —contestó el cerdito.
Llegaron a un jardín. Estaba rodeado por una pared baja y sin puertas. El camello se paró al lado de la pared y, alcanzando las plantas gracias a su largo cuello, se las preparó de desayuno. Después, miró burlonamente al cerdito, que se había quedado al pie de la pared sin poder siquiera ver las delicias que había en el jardín, y le dijo:
—Y ahora, ¿qué preferirías? ¿Ser pequeño o grande?
Más tarde, llegaron a otro jardín. Estaba rodeado por una pared elevada que tenía una puertecilla de un lado. El cerdito entró por la puertecilla y, después de haberse comido una buena porción de los vegetales que había dentro, salió y, riéndose del camello que había tenido que quedarse afuera porque era demasiado grande para entrar al jardín por la puerta, le preguntó:
—Y ahora, ¿qué preferirías? ¿Ser grande o pequeño?
Después de pensar un poco en la pregunta, los dos llegaron a la conclusión de que el camello se quedaría su joroba y el cerdito su trompa, porque habían entendido que:
“Ser alto va bien donde sea que haga falta;
ser bajo, a su vez, también es ventaja.”
