A distinguished lady comes in with a firm step in the library at a time of relative calm, with emphasis in Eastern Europe come to us saying
"looking for a book called" Aivango "(or so the decision was ...)
My colleague sitting at the computer running the eyes in my direction, and I try a:
"Excuse me, what did you say is the title of the book?"
"Aivango"
My colleague does not dare to start typing a name that will surely give null result, I understand the embarrassment and tried again:
"not by any chance remember the author?"
"no, I do not remember the author, he has to read my son to school, I read years ago, is a medieval romance set in England ..."
I try to work my synapses as quickly as possible ... the novel you read for school ... probably argument medieval English ... ...
"Ah, Ivanohe?"
"Yes, that, ah, in Italian you say so? Aivango In English we say ..."
"... of course!"
Ed I will be even a poor graduate student in Language, but my colleague has just graduated in languages, you can imagine that look we exchanged ...
