Вроде предложение простое, но всё же что-то я на нём споткнулся. Как тут перевести выделенное предложение?
I ask Tara how it can be that he’s a rock and an island. He’s a man, not an island. She says it’s a way of talking. Like he’s lonely and separate from everything, like a piece of land in the middle of the sea, with nothing joining it to anywhere else, which is what an island is. And she says
she’s like that.
I say, no, not really. Because it isn’t me, or you, I say, it’s us. We are here together. We are separate from them, but we are an island, the two of us. We are one.
