prendere a tradimento

German translation: hier: entgegenschlagen

Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Racconto breve
Italian term or phrase: prendere a tradimento
Frase intera: "C'è un mondo caldo, improvvisamente, mi prende a tradimento, mi lascia senza parole, (...)"
Premessa: la protagonista entra in un palazzo fatiscente, che pare disabitato, si apre una porta, entra, ed è avvolta dall'atmosfera che trova dentro, dalle persone, ecc.

Habt ihr Tipps, wie man dieses "mi prende a tradimento" uebersetzen koennte? "Ueberrascht mich" oder aehnliches ist zu schwach...

Herzliche Dank fuer jede Anregung!

Explanation:
etwa: "Eine warme Atmosphäre, die mir plötzlich/unerwartet entgegenschlägt und mir die Sprache verschlägt..."

Pensando alla porta che si apre, il calore "viene adosso" alla persona. Poi bisogna abbinare un avverbio che esprime la sorpresa

"prendere a tradimento" - hinterrücks überfallen - aber das passt in diesem Kontext nicht

agree  Regina Eichstaedter: auch schön... aber um den Relativsatz und das zweimalige "Schlagen" zu vermeiden: eine warme Atmosphäre schlägt mir entgegen und nimmt mir fast den Atem

  -> Ist sicherlich "più liscio", klar! Wenn man dann noch weiß, was vorher+nachher kommt, kann man die Formulierungen dementpsrechend anpassen/einbetten...
agree  Katia DG: Gefällt mir am besten!
