how’s that for an “absolute”? con toda seguridad // sin lugar a dudas // no se puede decir más claro// afirmación categórica Explanation: El adjetivo "absolute" es un término muy polisémico. En este caso corresponde a las siguientes acepciones del MW: c: OUTRIGHT, UNMITIGATED 3: having no restriction, exception, or qualification 4: POSITIVE, UNQUESTIONABLE https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/absolute La expresión "how's that?" es una pregunta retórica que tiene como función subrayar el carácter extremo de algo. En este caso es un inciso referido a "CERTAIN". Esta construcción es muy idiomática en inglés, pero pierde todo su valor enfático si se calca al español. Es preferible recoger el sentido en una traducción libre, por ejemplo: - "Porque nada hemos traído a este mundo y es SEGURO [con toda seguridad] que nada podremos llevarnos". - "Porque nada hemos traído a este mundo y es SEGURO [sin lugar a dudas] que nada podremos llevarnos". - "Porque nada hemos traído a este mundo y es SEGURO [no deja lugar a dudas] que nada podremos llevarnos". - "Porque nada hemos traído a este mundo y es SEGURO [no se puede decir más claro] que nada podremos llevarnos". - "Porque nada hemos traído a este mundo y es SEGURO [afirmación categórica] que nada podremos llevarnos". - "Porque nada hemos traído a este mundo y es SEGURO [afirmación categórica donde las haya] que nada podremos llevarnos". |

¿Te/le parece poca certeza? Explanation: "An absolute is a rule or principle that is believed to be true, right, or relevant in all situations" (noun, not adjective). Es decir, se trata de una certeza. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/absolute |
