Britannica[edit]

Translating titles[edit]

There are a few titles I'm not sure how to translate:

El año pasado por agua - I'd conjecture "Last year by the water". Do others agree?

This is a tricky title to translate. "Pasado por agua" is the name for soft-boiled eggs, but the title applies to an autum with heavy rains. Maybe "The year that rained cats and dogs"?

Agua, azucarillos y aguardiente - Agua of course is "Water", and there's not much to do with aguardiente except to explain it as a strong liquor.

Azucarillos is a new one to me; obviously from azucar, "sugar", I'd guess "sweets" or "candies", but I wouldn't guess with confidence.

Yes, "azucarillo" was a sweet made from sugar, eggs and lemon, which was drinked dissolved in water. This could be loosely translated as "sugar cube" - so how about "Water, sugar cubes and spirits"?

El dúo de la africana - Well, literally, "The Duo of the African (female)", but I'm sure that someone who knows the piece could explain more felicitiously.

Sure, this one is easy. "La Africana" is the opera "L'Africaine" from Meyerbeer, so this one is "The Duet from L'Africaine"[1]. Diego Moya 16:38, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
