English to Italian: Notes on Nationalism, by George Orwell General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Somewhere or other Byron makes use of the French word longeur, and remarks in passing
that though in England we happen not to have the word, we have the thing in considerable
profusion. In the same way, there is a habit of mind which is now so widespread that it affects
our thinking on nearly every subject, but which has not yet been given a name. As the nearest
existing equivalent I have chosen the word ‘nationalism’, but it will be seen in a moment that
I am not using it in quite the ordinary sense, if only because the emotion I am speaking about
does not always attach itself to what is called a nation – that is, a single race or a geographical
area. It can attach itself to a church or a class, or it may work in a merely negative sense,
against something or other and without the need for any positive object of loyalty.
Translation - Italian Da qualche parte Byron fa uso della parola francese longueur e sottolinea di sfuggita che, nonostante in Inghilterra purtroppo non abbiamo la parola, abbiamo però la cosa, in considerevole profusione. Esiste allo stesso modo una consuetudine di pensiero, oramai talmente diffusa che condiziona la nostra opinione su quasi ogni argomento, ma che ancora non ha ricevuto un nome. Ho scelto la parola ‘nazionalismo’, considerandola l’equivalente esistente più prossimo di significato, ma fra poco risulterà chiaro che non la sto utilizzando nel senso ordinario, se non altro perché il sentimento di cui sto parlando non si lega necessariamente a ciò che si intende con ‘nazione’ – ovvero una precisa razza o area geografica. Si può legare a una chiesa o a una classe sociale, o può funzionare semplicemente in senso negativo, contro una cosa o l’altra e senza il bisogno di un oggetto positivo di fedeltà.
