wished on her

[antongoun]

Καλησπέρα, διαβάζω ένα διήγημα της Άλις Μονρό ("The Love of A Good Woman"), και έπεσα πάνω σε μία πρόταση που με έχει σπαζοκεφαλιάσει λίγο. Αν έχετε όρεξη, την αντιγράφω εδώ - αναφέρεται στις δυο μικρές κόρες μιας ετοιμοθάνατης νέας γυναίκας, τις οποίες εκείνη δεν ανέχεται πια κοντά της:

You would think these two daughters of hers were a pair of rowdy orphans, wished on her for an indefinite visit.

("Θα έλεγες ότι οι δυο της οι κόρες ήταν τίποτε ορφανά αγριοκόριτσα, ......" - το wished on με την έννοια της κατάρας, οκ, αλλά δεν μπορώ να σκεφτώ τίποτα ωραίο στα ελληνικά.)

Η απλούστερη λύση: που της φορτώθηκαν επ' αόριστον.
Αποδίδει το impose, χωρίς... μαγικές συμπαραδηλώσεις.

Αν τις θέλουμε αυτές, τότε: που για κακή της τύχη, της φορτώθηκαν...
