[persistently] mumbling Explanation: In questo caso, direi, 'rimbottio' è un sinonimo un pochino più forte di 'borbottio'. E' l'elemento onomatopeico (e figurato) che non deve esser perso. In basso un contesto simile: "No problem. I just took the key in my hand and looked at the red Duetto. I jumped in the car to just sit there for a while. I turned on the ignition and listened to **the mumbling engine** and the sound from the Webers. Gently pressed the clutch down and pressed the accelerator, up and down a few times to check the oil pressure" Reference: http://www.veloce.se/d1e7585c-40de-4020-af97-70a043ce1f18-29... |
