Друзья, about здесь связано с way, а не с night.

Потрясает, что «литературный переводчик» этого не знает.

ABOUT is the British equivalent of American AROUND - they "feel their way around" means that they can't see, so they use their hands to feel what's in front of them and move around that way... and they do this AT NIGHT. 😉

Grumbler, that translator misread ABOUT too

Спасибо, Ольга и Ули 🌝

You’re welcome, Elena 😊

👍🏼

I wonder, if there's a difference if to remove "about"? They feel their way at night.

Спасибо всем за разьяснения.

Оставлю - как пример современного "литературного" перевода

The only function of “about“ here is to express motion.

современно “неправильный” пример литературного перевода

Thanks, Uly)
