English term or phrase: Short
Ciao a tutti.

Ad un uomo viene presentata una poetessa che è stata salvata in mare.

Questo il dialogo.

Uomo: "Ah, the poet caught in the current."
Donna: "Why are you so short?"
Uomo: "What kind of a question is that?"

Altri dialoghi.

Uomo: "I was quite absorbed by your little book poems. And you're also a bit short."
Donna: "I'm not short."
Uomo: "You are short of technical finesse. But otherwise, not bad. Coming from me, that is a big compliment."

La parola "short" in questo caso può voler dire "spiccio"? "riduttivo"?

Il termine "a corto" non si adatta ai due dialoghi.
