English to Serbian: Special Topics in Calamity Physics General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Introduction Dad always said a person must have a magnificent reason for writing out his or her Life Story and expecting anyone to read it. “Unless your name is something along the lines of Mozart, Matisse, Churchill, Che Guevara or Bond—James Bond—you best spend your free time finger painting or playing shuffleboard, for no one, with the exception of your flabby-armed mother with stiff hair and a mashed-potato way of looking at you, will want to hear the particulars of your pitiable existence, which doubtlessly will end as it began—with a wheeze.” Given such rigid parameters, I always assumed I wouldn’t have my Magnificent Reason until I was at least seventy, with liver spots, rheumatism, wit as quick as a carving knife, a squat stucco house in Avignon (where I could be found eating 365 different cheeses), a lover twenty years my junior who worked in the fields (I don’t know what kind of fields—any kind that were gold and frothy) and, with any luck, a small triumph of science or philosophy to my name. And yet the decision—no, the grave necessity—to take pen to paper and write about my childhood—most critically, the year it unstitched like a snagged sweater—came much sooner than I ever imagined. It began with simple sleeplessness. It had been almost a year since I’d found Hannah dead, and I thought I’d managed to erase all traces of that night within myself, much in the way Henry Higgins with his relentless elocution exercises had scrubbed away Eliza’s Cockney accent. I was wrong.	Translation - Serbian Uvod Tata je uvek govorio da je čoveku potreban stvarno veličanstven razlog da bi napisao svoju biografiju i očekivao da će to bilo ko da pročita. „Ako se ne zoveš, recimo, Mocart, Matis ili Čerčil, Če Gevara ili Bond – Džejms Bond – bolje ti je da u slobodno vreme crtaš ili igraš školice, jer niko, osim možda tvoje majke oklembešenih nadlaktica, s frizurom krutom od laka, koja se beskrajno razneži svaki put kad te pogleda, neće hteti da čita detaljan opis tvog bednog postojanja, koje će se bez sumnje okončati kako je i počelo – neprimećeno.“ Imajući u vidu tako stroge parametre, uvek sam pretpostavljala da neću dobiti svoj Veličanstveni Razlog dok ne budem imala barem sedamdeset godina, staračke pege, reumu, um brz poput mesarskog noža i prizemnu malterisanu kuću u Avinjonu (gde ćete moći da me nađete kako jedem 365 različitih vrsta sira), dvadeset godina mlađeg ljubavnika koji radi u poljima (nije važno kakvim poljima – samo da su zlatna i ustalasana) i uz imalo sreće, mali naučni ili filozofski trijumf koji me je proslavio. A ipak se odluka – ili radije neodoljiva potreba – da uzmem papir i olovku i počnem da pišem o svom detinjstvu – javila mnogo ranije nego što sam očekivala. Počelo je jednostavnom nesanicom. Prošlo je skoro godinu dana otkako sam Hanu pronašla mrtvu, i mislila sam da sam uspela da obrišem sve tragove te noći u svom sećanju, na sličan način kao što je Henri Higins neumoljivim vežbama izgovora izbrisao Ilajzin kokni akcenat. Ali nisam.
