Στο σχολιασμό ενός μεταφραστικού λάθους, ο Ν.Σ. φέρνει στην επιφάνεια και έναν γνωστό μεταφραστικό πονοκέφαλο, τη λέξη vocal (θα προσθέσω δίπλα και τη συχνά συνώνυμη vociferous). Αναφέρομαι στις παρακάτω χρήσεις:
a vocal critic
a vocal minority
vocal in his criticism
Ειδικότερα, από κάποια λεξικά:
Η πρόταση στο συγκεκριμένο κείμενο του Ντόκινς:
There are even a few vocal fifth columnists within science itself who hold exactly these views.
Σε μια διαδικτυακή αναζήτηση για επικριτές, βρήκα:
δριμείς / έντονους / σκληρούς / δραστήριους / καυστικούς / δυναμικούς / αυστηρούς / αμείλικτους επικριτές
Η λέξη κραυγαλέος δεν μας κάνει. Κραυγαλέα λάθη και αδικίες έχουμε. Σε λεξικά βλέπω θορυβώδης, φωνακλάδικος, ευθαρσής (στο outspoken), που βροντοφωνάζει τις απόψεις ή τα αιτήματά του, που εκφράζει κάτι έντονα.
Φοβάμαι ότι απόδοση-ομπρέλα δεν έχουμε, άλλο επίθετο θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε σε κάθε περίπτωση και ενδεχομένως περιφράσεις, π.χ. δεν διστάζει να επικρίνει.
Έχουμε τίποτα άλλο ενδιαφέρον για τη φαρέτρα μας;
