    • 2019, F. Scott Fitzgerald, translated by Enrico Rotelli, Il Grande Gatsby [The Great Gatsby], Bompiani:
      La disonestà è qualcosa che non si biasima mai fino in fondo in una donna: mi dispiacque per un po’, dopodiché non ci pensai più.
      Dishonesty in a woman is a thing you never blame deeply: I was casually sorry, and then I forgot.
      (literally, “Dishonesty is something that one doesn't ever blame fully in a woman: I was sorry for a little bit, after which point I didn't think about it any more.”)
