Entanglement

English to Italian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Fiction, XX century
Se un uomo per dire di condurre una retta vita dice di avere “no entanglement” intende che non ha amanti, che non è coinvolto in strani giri, cosa vuol dire esattamente? Coinvolgimento riferito a cosa? Non riesco bene a capire...

Grazie come sempre..
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Barbara Carrara

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.

dovresti postare la frase contenente il termine, in lingua originale. Come dice Barbara, ci vuole contesto per evitare ogni dubbio

tresca / relazione (amorosa) sconveniente/clandestina

Credo che intenda proprio la tua prima ipotesi.

Anche "compromettente".

Infatti, ad esempio, guarda qui:

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/entanglement

"Entanglement - 2. a sexual relationship regarded as unfortunate, damaging, or compromising."

"a complicated or compromising relationship or situation."

Da come mi hai descritto il contesto, che dovrebbe confermartelo, il termine dovrebbe proprio indicare il concetto che hai accennato nella tua prima ipotesi.

Di nulla Silvia. Però, non so se è stato un lapsus, ma almeno tra colleghi e in ProZ, aboliamo il "Lei". :-)

Ancora grazie mille Silvia! A presto e buona giornata!

non c’è un gran contesto, ma ha intuito correttamente. Grazie!

neutral Barbara Carrara : Come fai a esserne tanto sicuro, in assenza totale di contesto?

agree MariaGrazia Pizzoli : anche, più semplicemente, nascosta, nel senso di non patente/confessata, ma, "meno moralistica e illegale" di "clandestina".
