steinbeck'in tatlı perşembe'sinden alıntı
merhaba,
elinde john steinbeck'in tatlı perşembe (sweet thursday) isimli kitabının türkçe versiyonu olan varsa, bi kuple alıntı rica edeceğim. ingilizce aslını aşağıda paylaşıyorum. remzi yayınları çevirisi daha iyi olur; ama hepsi iş görür. çok teşekkürler.
türkçesini merak ettiğim kısmın ingilizce aslı:
Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there's time, the Bastard Time. The end of life is now not so terribly far away -- you can see the finish line when you come into the stretch -- and your mind says, "Have I worked enough? Have I eaten enough? Have I loved enough?" All of these, of course, are the foundation of man's greatest curse, and perhaps his greatest glory. "What has my life meant so far and what can it mean in the time left to me?" And now we're coming to the wicked, poisoned dart:
"What have I contributed to the Great Ledger? What am I worth?" And this isn't vanity or ambition. Men seem to be born with a debt they can never pay no matter how hard they try. It piles up ahead of them. Man owes something to man. If he ignores his debt it poisons him, and if he tries to make payments the debt only increases and the quality of his gift is the measure of the man.

süre olarak soruyorsanız, hiç acelesi yok. orhan azizoğlu çevirisi de iyidir, hatırladığım kadarıyla. çok teşekkür ederim.
