Hypothetical
Let's say that the only reason that I would go to the trouble of learning Italian would be to do a translation of Passolini's Saint Paul screenplay. If I were to secure the rights to do the translation and only then set to work learning Italian, would that be an example of- unspeakable arrogance
or
- prudence?
For the sake of this scenario, let's assume that neither the Italian publisher nor any of the American publishers I would try would ask the obvious question, "So, you know Italian, right?"
