reklama
"mobilność (...) w 100% multimedialna i nowoczesna, ironicznie patrząca na symbole archaizmu spod znaku PPT."
tekst dotyczy reklamy na urządzeniach mobilnych
Jestem ciekaw, co koledzy i koleżanki zaproponują odnośnie do "ironicznie patrzącej". Interpretowałbym to jako: patrząca z lekkim uśmieszkiem, z przewagą na coś.
Pierwszy pomysł to "look down on" albo "grin at", niemniej jednak nie urządza mnie to jako, że wolałbym coś mniej agresywnego i lżejszego. Jakieś pomysły?

Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D.
: Yes, it is an option. "Hint" takes off the "edge." Slight irony also tones it down a bit.

| Thank you, Frank. I've decided to use your "look with amusement" as it fits marketing context the best, imho. Cheers. |

Realna mobilność. Teraz, natychmiast. Nie jutro, nie za godzinę. Mobilność ważąca kilkaset gramów. Uwalniająca od stosu papierów, drukowanej prasy i kilogramów książek. Zawsze pod ręką. W 100% multimedialna i nowoczesna, ironicznie patrząca na symbole archaizmu spod znaku PPT. Jeden, jedyny, wszechstronny nośnik zastępujący, ale też łączący i rozwijający możliwości wszystkich innych: TV, radia, pracy, internetu i wielu innych.
