English to Spanish: People crave silence, yet are unnerved by it, The Economist
Source text - English People crave silence, yet are unnerved by it, The Economist
A theme of the age, at least in the developed world, is that people crave silence and can find none. The roar of traffic, the ceaseless beep of phones, digital announcements in buses and trains, TV sets blaring even in empty offices, are an endless battery and distraction. The human race is exhausting itself with noise and longs for its opposite—whether in the wilds, on the wide ocean or in some retreat dedicated to stillness and concentration. Alain Corbin, a history professor, writes from his refuge in the Sorbonne, and Erling Kagge, a Norwegian explorer, from his memories of the wastes of Antarctica, where both have tried to escape.
Translation - Spanish Las personas anhelan silencio, ya están enervadas por él; El Economista
Un tema actual, al menos en el mundo desarrollado es el silencio que desea la gente y no lo encuentra. El rugir del tráfico, el incesante timbre de los teléfonos, anuncios digitales en buses y trenes, televisores resonando incluso en oficinas vacías; son una batería y distracción eternas. La humanidad está fatigándose a sí misma con ruido y tarda en lo opuesto ―ya sea en las zonas salvajes, sobre el amplio océano o en algún lugar de retiro dedicado a la quietud y la concentración―. Alain Corbin, profesor de historia, escribe desde su refugio en La Soborna y Erling Kagge, explorador noruego desde sus memorias de la árida Antártica, donde ambos han tratado de escapar.
