the bows
En effet, il semble y avoir plusieurs traductions possibles.
Voici les extraits :
"Pulling with all their failing might, the men **in the bows** had twice succeeded in hauling the massive rope aboard"
"He’s trapped **in the bows** with other men"
In the bows = À l'avant du navire (je pense)
“The fire had ravaged the bows"
“You just couldn’t get back up. Nor, as he soon discovered, did the
grimy, fire-blasted bows of the crippled
ferry offer a way off."
Le problème est ici, "the grimy, fire-blasted bows" n'ont rien à voir avec l'avant/la proue d'un navire, je pense.
Merci!
