La frase è "Dopo gli ultimi avvenimenti avevo bisogno di un po' di tranquillita', dovevo cambiare aria..."
Ho letto su un dizionario che cambiare aria me lo traduce "have a change of scene". Vi risulta? Per cui andrebbe bene tradurre "I should have a change of scene" ?
Grazie.

get out of town (get out of Dodge)
Depending on the tenor and the register as well as the entire context of the narrative in the comic strip, one of these might also be appropriate. The idea is the same, "I needed some peace, a change of scene"... or "I needed some peace, to get out of Dodge (town)" - Comics tend to use more colloquial language than other text types, so it seemed appropriate to mention this alternative.
Note from asker:
| I will choose another answer because the subject moves from a town to another one, for this reason I don't like "to get out of town". "I needed some peace" is not convenient in this case, because the sentence before is " I needed a little bit of peace"and I don't like the repetition. . But thank you so much for the ideas! :) |
