Title
Tatiana's Table
Text
Submitted by stefaniasha
Source language: English

Many years have passed since that time Tatiana made lazy cabbage for Alexander.

Yet it was still vivid in her mind: her grandmother's slightly hoarse quiet voice, the taking of the tram across the river, the waning afternoon, the ache in her limping, broken leg: but above all, the desire to make something for someone, for no other reason than to please him.

Title
La tavola di Tatiana
Translation
Italian

Translated by Ilariaji
Target language: Italian

Sono passati molti anni da quella volta che Tatiana fece i cavoli al vapore per Alexander.

Tutto ancora era vivido nella sua mente: la voce calma leggermente roca di sua nonna, la fermata del tram al di là del fiume, il finire del pomeriggio, il dolore del suo zoppicare, la gamba rotta: ma soprattutto, il desiderio di fare qualcosa per qualcuno, per nessun altra ragione che compiacerlo.

Hi Ilariaji

I must admit that I dont understand what "lazy cabbage" is either.

I don't see "i capelli leggermente canuti" in the original text. It needs to be removed from the translation.

"i capelli leggermente canuti e la voce flebile di sua nonna" this sentence is not correct
"her grandmother's slightly hoarse quiet voice"
I think it's :
"la voce calma leggermente roca della sua nonna"

"lazy cabbage" I guess is a way you can prepare cabbage (a meal)."her grandmother's slightly hoarse voice"-"la voce leggeramente roca/arrochita della sua nonna"(something like that), "the waning afternoon"-"il pommerigio in diminuzione"

lazy cabbage means a Russian (or Ukrainian) national dish (ленивые голубцы - lenivye golubtsy). It consists of stewed (braised) cabbage usually together with rice and tomato juice (sometimes with carrot).
The equivalent of Stewed cabbage with rice in Italian I guess would be an appropriate variant. Or just "lenivye golubtsy" - that would emphasize the national connotation together with the Russian names. Of course with the asteriks sigh and a footnote about caggage

Avete ragione, i capelli canuti non c'è e non so bene come mi è venuto. Devo aver confuso il significato di qualche termine.
Farò le correzioni.
Grazie a tutti!
