Text
Übermittelt von Gabriela Valensa
Herkunftssprache: Brasilianisches Portugiesisch

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?
Bemerkungen zur Übersetzung
Ella com dois ls, é o nome da personagem.

Übersetzt von alexfatt
Zielsprache: Englisch

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?
Bemerkungen zur Übersetzung
Unfortunately the word pun "ela/Ella" got lost :(

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

Hi Alex,

Just a few corrections:

Finally ---> After all

blundered ---> tripped

shoe heel ---> heel

got the job ---> gotten the job

she had always been imagining ---> she had always imagined

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
