Italian to Greek: Mimetismo Detailed field: Zoology
Source text - Italian Ma se imitare l’ambiente circostante con gli stessi colori è una buona tecnica di mimetismo, in certi casi non avere colore può risultare più vantaggioso ancora. Questa è la soluzione adottata, per esempio, dalla maggior parte di quei pesci che vivono in acque libere. La loro superficie argentata più che avere un colore riflette il colore dell’acqua. A seconda delle condizioni meteorologiche, per esempio, un cefalo può essere chiaro come il riflesso delle onde sotto il sole, o grigio come un cielo nuvoloso o un mare torbido o agitato. Chi ha guardato sott’acqua con la maschera in condizioni di visibilità non perfetta, avrà notato come un branco di cefali può avvicinarsi senza essere visto, sembrando semplicemente una massa d’acqua. In natura la luce viene dall’alto e nell’ambiente subacqueo questo è particolarmente evidente. Quasi tutti gli animali acquatici tendono perciò a essere più scuri sopra è più chiari sotto. Questo compensa l’ombra sulla parte inferiore e la luce più forte sulla parte superiore, togliendo volume all’insieme.
Translation - Greek Αν η μίμηση του περιβάλλοντα χώρου με τα ίδια χρώματα είναι μια καλή τεχνική μιμητισμού, σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις η παντελής έλλειψη χρώματος μπορεί να αποδειχθεί ακόμη πιο ωφέλιμη. Αυτήν τη λύση υιοθετούν, παραδείγματος χάριν, τα περισσότερα ψάρια που ζουν σε ανοιχτή θάλασσα. Η ασημένια επιφάνειά τους δεν έχει χρώμα αλλά μάλλον αντανακλά το χρώμα του νερού. Ανάλογα με τις μετεωρολογικές συνθήκες, παραδείγματος χάριν, ένας κέφαλος μπορεί να είναι ανοιχτόχρωμος όπως η αντανάκλαση των κυμάτων στον ήλιο, ή γκρίζος όπως ένας συννεφιασμένος ουρανός ή μια ήρεμη ή αγριεμένη θάλασσα. Όποιος κοιτάζει κάτω από το νερό με τη μάσκα σε συνθήκες χαμηλής ορατότητας, θα παρατηρήσει πως ένα κοπάδι ψάρια μπορεί να πλησιάσει χωρίς να γίνει αντιληπτό επειδή ακριβώς μοιάζει με το νερό. Στη φύση, το φως εκπέμπεται από πάνω και στο υποβρύχιο περιβάλλον αυτό φαίνεται έντονα. Σχεδόν όλα τα θαλάσσια ζώα γι' αυτόν το λόγο τείνουν να είναι πιο σκουρόχρωμα επάνω και ανοιχτόχρωμα κάτω. Αυτό αντισταθμίζει τη σκιά στο κάτω μέρος και το έντονο φως στο πάνω μέρος και αφαιρεί όγκο από το σύνολο
English to Greek: firefighting practices General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Management
Source text - English Several years after I asked that question, I was promoted and left the company. One day I read a newspaper article that reminded me of these two chiefs. In another city, the firefighting strategy and tactics used in a serious fire had been questioned. The article quoted the fire chief as saying that he had been at the fire, but that, technically, he hadn't been in command. He claimed that he bore no responsibility for the operation's weaknesses because he hadn't yet officially assumed command.
Translation - Greek Αρκετά χρόνια αφότου έκανα αυτήν την ερώτηση, πήρα προαγωγή και έφυγα από αυτό το πυροσβεστικό πλήρωμα. Μια μέρα διάβασα ένα άρθρο στην εφημερίδα που μου θύμισε αυτούς τους δύο αρχηγούς. Σε μια άλλη πόλη, η στρατηγική και η τακτική που είχαν ακολουθήσει οι εθελοντές πυροσβέστες σε μια σοβαρή πυρκαγιά είχε τεθεί υπό αμφισβήτηση. Το άρθρο παρέθετε τα λόγια του αρχηγού που δήλωνε ότι είχε μεταβεί στον τόπο της πυρκαγιάς αλλά ότι από τεχνικής πλευράς, δεν ήταν επιφορτισμένος με διοικητική παρουσία. Ισχυρίστηκε ότι δεν έφερε καμία ευθύνη για την αδυναμία της επιχείρησης κατάσβεσης της πυρκαγιάς επειδή ακόμα δεν είχε επίσημα αναλάβει την ευθύνη της επιχείρησης πυρόσβεσης
