English to Spanish: La extraña muerte de la Inglaterra liberal General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English For indeed, in the depths of a mine, working in perpetual midnight by the meagre glimmer of a lamp, a man is alone —as nowhere else—with all that is mysterious and inscrutable in this planet we live upon. Between himself and a death which some of us have vaguely experienced in nightmares there is nothing but his own skill and experience and good luck. A few wooden props support the vast weight of unknown strata; the flame of his lamp, burning blue, warns him of the escape of some ancient imprisoned gas, deadly and without smell; brackish damp threatens his health or dry air charged with innumerable particles of dust and stone: there are no precautions, no regulations, no devices known to man, which can give him protection against these unpredictable treacheries. He is working, not in a charted and civilized and historical world, but in some angry fragment of a timeless universe; against that he pits his small strength.
Translation - Spanish Ciertamente, en las profundidades de una mina, trabajando en una noche perpetua a la tenue luz de un candil, un hombre está —más que en ningún otro lugar del mundo— solo con todo cuanto es misterioso e inescrutable en este planeta en el que vivimos. Entre él y una muerte que tal vez algunos de nosotros hayamos experimentado vagamente en pesadillas tan solo se interponen su propia pericia, su experiencia y su buena suerte. Unas pocas apeas de madera aguantan el ingente peso de estratos desconocidos; la llama de su candil lo advierte con un resplandor azul de la fuga de algún gas largo tiempo encerrado, mortífero e inodoro; una humedad salina o un aire seco cargado de innumerables partículas de polvo y piedra socavan su salud: no existe ninguna precaución, regulación o herramienta conocida al hombre que pueda protegerlo contra estos peligros imprevisibles. No trabaja en un mundo cartografiado, civilizado e histórico, sino en algún aciago fragmento de un universo intemporal: contra él despliega sus diminutas fuerzas.

Experience
Years of experience: 9. Registered at ProZ.com: Nov 2021.
My target language is Spanish (Spain) and my source languages are English, French and Italian EN/FR/IT → ES. I use mainly SDL Trados Studio 2021 and memoQ, but I have also worked with other tools. My advanced computer skills (BS in Computer Science) allow me to ensure the respect of the original layout, even for InDesign and Illustrator files. I am a member of ACE-T and Asetrad. In my free time, I love to go diving and sailing, and I am therefore well-acquainted with the terminology and concepts of these activities.
