Dmitry Murzakov Oct 19, 2019:
Телепатическая связь может быть только, так сказать, "подвидом" невидимой нити, но не быть равноценной ей.
Boris Shapiro Oct 19, 2019:
It is 'worthy' (heh) to say that the amount of context and plot details the asker provided is shamefully inadequate to interpret the intended meaning either way.

Only one thing is certain: that to claim any part of this fragment is used figuratively (or otherwise) is to imply that you have a telepathic connection with Olesya :^)
Turdimurod Rakhmanov Oct 19, 2019:
невидимая нить Здесь на русском невидимая нит-не означает телепатический контакт между ними, здесь говорится у них есть секретное отношение. http://lovestorie.ru/telepatija/
невидимая нить - in this context has different (not only positive) connotation. They have something secret in common (even love). Telepathic connection means only the mental and love connection between them (scientifically). Besides, it is translated into Russian as телепатическая связь, контакт ...
Хотя telepathic connection is correct literally, but in terms of sense, it does not hold water in this specific context.
Допустим, имеется в виду только любовь, в таком случае тоже не можем сказать что у них телепатичекий что то, в контексте не только позитивное и негативное мнение скрывается.

It is worthy to say that "медовый месяц" is used figuratively here. If they are really having "медовый месяц" and the speaker knew that, he would not say о медовый месяц закончен. By this he meant closer to "его миссия закончена" or his secret loving relation (negative) came to an end.
Boris Shapiro Oct 18, 2019:
Frank Unless Olesya deigns to give a wider context, anything is possible. Even a direct rip-off of Rochester's famous 'string somewhere under my left ribs', complete with 'moral certainty' - we've no idea what register the speaker really prefers. Even the plot is anyone's guess here.
Turdimurod Rakhmanov Oct 18, 2019:
Борис, прочитал что вы написали,
В контексте точно есть это не означает это все так говорят или факт!
Я передал Точно есть-с помощью I am sure.
Почему must be- Потому что это личное мнение говорящего.
Кроме этого, вопрос - невидимая нить
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Oct 18, 2019:
Telepathic comments will be appreciated.
Dmitry Murzakov Oct 18, 2019:
Нееет, я просто наблюдаю :-)
Boris Shapiro Oct 18, 2019:
А вы, Дмитрий, чего-то опасаетесь? ;-)
Dmitry Murzakov Oct 18, 2019:
См. Здесь - https://studyenglishwords.com/search - и cord, и wire, и link, и string, и уже упомянутый выше thread. Выбирайте, что хотите.
Борис, ну Вы и жгете в последнее время - али на царство (Kudoz-ское) метите? :-)
Boris Shapiro Oct 18, 2019:
Олеся, зачем на контексте экономите?

Нить should remain as it is, if we change that for ex; into connection, it would not be understood in its widest and metaphorical sense.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Boris Shapiro : 'There must be' = "должна быть", куда меньшая степень уверенности, чем "точно есть". Даже с sure. Как в 'I am sure there must be some way out of this situation'.

agree Mark Berelekhis : Definitely not 'string' and why caps? Otherwise, I don't see a reason not to keep it literal as the English term "invisible thread" does exist.

Thank you, Mark.
agree David Knowles : I agree with Mark. Just translate it literally.

the hidden thread

The Hidden Thread is a breathtaking novel about the intricate craft of silk and the heartbreak of forbidden love. https://dearauthor.com/book-reviews/review-the-hidden-thread...
or even Phantom Thread, why not?
https://slate.com/arts/2017/12/phantom-thread-with-daniel-da...
Peer comment(s):
neutral Boris Shapiro : And since you're introducing unwarranted literary references, why not The Painted Veil? Or even Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? There is some shared meaning, after all, so why feel constrained by accuracy (or, indeed, logic) at all?

telepathic connection

Something even more invisible than a thread, link, etc.

cccccc
Do you feel an inexplicable mental connection with someone even in their absence? Do you feel as if you can talk to them without uttering a single world?

When two people share a profound telepathic connection, they can reach out to each other even if colossal oceans separate them.

They can feel each other’s presence anywhere and at any time. The human brain is a masterpiece capable of accomplishing marvels.

One of the wonders of the human brain is telepathy. Telepathy defies the concepts of time and space and makes human contact a possibility without the need for verbal confrontation.

If you share such a connection with someone, you are sure to come across these signs.

elepathic connection between lovers is real. It is a two-sided communication that consists of sending and receiving messages.

It requires high energy to break the psychic shield of a person to penetrate their thoughts. Two lovers in a relationship often nurture the mind and soul enough to provide the necessary power to communicate telepathically.

agree The Misha : Psychic connection is what I would say, but that's almost the same thing.
