Lugha ya kimaumbile: Kireno cha Kibrazili

Aquele dia poderia ter sido perfeito.

Um dia completamente normal. Afinal, ela não havia se atrasado. Não perdera o ônibus. Não havia tropeçado. Muito menos quebrara o salto do sapato. Ela poderia ter conseguido o emprego. Tudo poderia ter sido como ela sempre imaginara. Mas isso, se ela não fosse Ella.

Isso se naquela entrevista não lhe fosse feita uma única e inquietante pergunta, para a qual não houve resposta: Quem é você?
Maelezo kwa mfasiri
Ella com dois ls, é o nome da personagem.

Lugha inayolengwa: Kiingereza

That day could have been perfect.

A perfectly ordinary day. After all she had not been late. She had not missed the bus. She had not tripped. She had not even broken the heel. She could have got the job. Everything could have gone just like she had always imagined. But only if she were not Ella.

Only if in that interview she had not been asked only one disturbing question, to which there was no answer: Who are you?
Maelezo kwa mfasiri
Unfortunately the word pun "ela/Ella" got lost :(

She could have got the job (British English) / She could have gotten the job (US English)

Just a few corrections:

Finally ---> After all

blundered ---> tripped

I agree but... what about gotten?
Is it an alternative form of the past participle of get?

Thanks

Could you make the edits so that I can accept the translation?

And... yes, esp. US English uses 'gotten' in this case instead of 'got'. However, I don't say it's wrong, it's just a matter of preference You may change that or not, as you wish.

Sorry, I preferred to wait for you to answer before making the edits. Ok then, I'll put the got/gotten thing in the remarks field if you don't mind!

Thanks
