English term or phrase: Cancer
Casa a patra

The sign of the fourth denoteth the town, the lord thereof, the governor. It ruleth the breast, lungs. Of colours, the red: Its cosignificator is Cancer, and of planets the Sun.


Ţinând cont că este o traducere dintr-un text vechi, aş putea oare să spun "Cosemnificatorul [casei] este Cancerul..." în loc de "Racul" sau nu merge decât în expresii de tipul "zodia Cancerului"?

Rac
Explanation:
Peste tot am intalnit Rac. Nu am vazut nicaieri Cancer - in limba romana. Suna destul de rau in opinia mea. Doar un zodiac vechi prezinta si numele asta, restul are legatura cu boala.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Aveţi un link cu zodiacul respectiv? E un text vechi şi acesta. Dacă vedeţi în dicţionarele de la 1929 şi 1939 zodia era chiar primul sens, apoi boala.

agree  Sandra & Kenneth Grossman: De acord si cu traducerea si cu conotatia. Barbarism cu iz de boala.

constelaţia Cancer


Explanation:
cu siguranta este foarte in regula si "constelaţia Cancer" - asta pentru a raspunde intrebarii tale. Daca textul este mai vechi, merge fara probleme - Cancer este denumirea racului in limba latina.
Pana la urma, in engleza nu ii spune "Crab", ci se pastreaza denumirea in latina.
Cancer is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac. Its name is Latin for crab and it is commonly represented as one.

Odata cu aparitia intunericului pe bolta vor aparea inca doua planete: Marte (la sud-vest in constelatia Cancer)

Aceasta se gaseste in constelatia Cancer, aflata la 40 de ani-lumina de Pamant.

Asker: Mulţumesc. Cred că se referă la zodie, nu la constelaţie totuşi. Nu sunt sigură, o să mai întreb.
