English term or phrase: galleys

"It's pretty unusual, all right. We're not sure, but we think Pancake is the English translation of the old German word for pancake. I can never pronounce that word, but I've got it written down in the other room if you want it. The D'J is a little harder to explain. You see, his middle name was Dexter, even though he told some people it was David, and John is the name he took when he entered the Catholic church. The way I got it was that when his first galleys came back from The Atlantic, a typesetter had put it down as D'J. And Breece said, 'Fine, let it stand.' God love his heart."

Nu are sens ca traducerea cuvantului sa fie galere sau bucatarii.

șpalturi (probe de tipar)

Explanation:
Ai dreptate, aici nu avem de-a face nici cu galere, nici cu bucătării. Este un tip de probă de tipar, "The Atlantic" fiind titlul unei publicații.

"Galley" e o formă prescurtată de la "galley proof", a se vedea:

Galley proofs or galleys are so named because in the days of hand-set letterpress printing in the 1650s, the printer would set the page into galleys, namely the metal trays into which type was laid and tightened into place. A small proof press would then be used to print a limited number of copies for proofreading.

Asker: Multumesc, stiam ca "The Atlantic" e titlul unei publicatii, n-avea cum sa aiba semnul de galere sau bucatarii, alte traduceri nu mai gasisem.
