    • 2019, George Orwell, translated by Nicola Gardini, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Mondadori:
      Cominciò a parlare con la stessa voce inespressiva, muovendo appena le labbra, un sussurro, soffocato dal vociare e dal rombo degli autocarri.
      She began speaking in the same expressionless voice as before, with lips barely moving, a mere murmur easily drowned by the din of voices and the rumbling of the trucks.
      (literally, “She began speaking with the same inexpressive voice, barely moving her lips, a whisper, suffocated by the loud voices and by the roar of the trucks.”)
