cumbersome

Cumbersome is not simply heavy. A sack of rice is heavy; a mattress is cumbersome, and anyone who has carried one up a staircase knows the difference. The weight is not the problem — the shape is, and the doorway is, and the fact that there is nowhere sensible to put your hands. That is the word: too big and too awkward to handle well. It moved from furniture to paperwork without changing at all. A cumbersome process is not a hard one; every single step is easy. It is the one with fifteen steps, four signatures and two offices, and you are carrying it up the stairs alone.

Cumbersome no es sólo pesado. Un saco de arroz es pesado; un colchón es cumbersome, y quien haya subido uno por la escalera conoce la diferencia. El problema no es el peso: es la forma, la puerta, y que no hay dónde poner las manos. Un trámite cumbersome es igual — quince pasos fáciles.

Cumbersome não é só pesado. Um saco de arroz é pesado; um colchão é cumbersome, e quem já subiu um pela escada sabe a diferença. O problema não é o peso: é o formato, é a porta, e é não ter onde pôr a mão. Um processo cumbersome é assim — quinze passos fáceis.

Cumbersome, ce n'est pas seulement lourd. Un sac de riz est lourd ; un matelas est cumbersome, et qui en a monté un dans un escalier connaît la différence. Le problème n'est pas le poids : c'est la forme, la porte, et le fait qu'on ne sait pas où mettre les mains. Une procédure cumbersome, c'est pareil.

Cumbersome bukan sekadar berat. Sekarung beras itu berat; kasur itu cumbersome, dan siapa pun yang pernah menaikkannya lewat tangga tahu bedanya. Masalahnya bukan beratnya, tapi bentuknya, pintunya, dan tidak adanya tempat memegang. Prosedur yang cumbersome juga begitu — lima belas langkah mudah.

Cumbersome yalnızca ağır demek değildir. Bir çuval pirinç ağırdır; bir yatak cumbersome'dır ve onu merdivenden çıkarmış olan farkı bilir. Sorun ağırlık değil; biçim, kapı ve elinizi koyacak düzgün bir yerin olmamasıdır. Cumbersome bir işlem de öyledir — on beş kolay adım.

cumbersome は「ただ重い」ではありません。米袋は重い。マットレスは cumbersome で、階段で運んだことのある人ならその違いがわかります。問題は重さではなく、形と、ドアの幅と、手をかける場所がないことです。cumbersome な手続きも同じ——一つ一つは簡単な、十五の手順。
