How to translate? (ru-en)

Как ты можешь/смеешь смеяться над болезнью?!/человеком, который болен?!

Author’s comment

Человек рассказывает, что его друг пережил травму, и терерь "очень смешно" заикается.

Другой глубоко возмущен этим.

    How dare you laugh at someone who’s sick?!

    Translator's comment

    This is a direct accusation and authoritative reproach for laughing (and usually delivered by a parent or spouse or someone who has the right to reproach you, to demand an answer from you). You see it more in literature than in real life… and in dictionaries, of course ;)

    How can you laugh at someone who’s sick?

    Translator's comment

    This can be the general YOU, or a direct YOU to the person you’re talking to.

How dare you laugh at his illness / troubles/ at him? (?)

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 4 years ago

Не думаю, что dare здесь уместно -" дерзать" не то слово.
Я бы сквзал " How can you laugh/giggle at someone's illness/disorder."
"How can you laugh when you know he's ill."

Андриолли 1added a comment 4 years ago

How dare you очень уместно, потому что это идиома. "Как ты смеешь. "
