English term

Mitchell mouthed the word with him as Jimmy ordered a pudding.

Homework / test English to Italian Other Poetry & Literature fiction for teenagers
IN realtà ho capito cosa vuol dire la frase, ma non riesco proprio a renderla bene in italiano. Mentre Jimmy ordinò un budino, Mitchell pronunciò quelle parole con lui... ma non mi piace per niente... :-(
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Umberto Cassano

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Jimmy e Mitchell, in perfetta sincronia, ordinarono insieme un budino

La rigirerei così

Ho capito, ma dalla frase non si capiva che i due erano distanti. Allora si potrebbe dire: Jimmy ordinò un budino e Mitchell, in perfetta sincronia, mimò il labiale delle sue parole.

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Suona bene però in questo caso non so se è adeguata. Ti spiego. Jimmy è al tavolo che ordina. Ma Mitchell non è con lui, lo sta spiando da lontano con un binocolo. E pronuncia solo col labiale la parola budino, in sincronia con Jimmy. Che dici? "
