Hi everybody
I'm working on a translation of an American series into spanish. And I
have several problems in my translation
1. Could anybody explain me the meaning of this: "Talk to every boscar
Willie and bag lady you see..."
2. "looks like it's gonna be raining, Jim Beame" and the other one
replies: "Maybe, Thunderbird." I know about thunderbirds but could
anybody clarify this scene better to me? Why do they call each other
like that? I guess it's a funny way of addressing each other but who
is JIm Beame? and is this a common thing to do? is it funny?...I
should know who these guys are to adapt it into Spanish and in case I
have to give a funny register in my translation.
3. Also I have problems in knowing the name of a herb in Spanish. I'd
be very grateful if by any chance somebody could hel`p me with the
Spanish name or give me any hints to find the solution (dictionaries,
webpages..). The characters talk about a herb for hangovers called
"ning tea".
Thanks a lot
anna
