Questo frammento da solo non ha senso, L'unico esempio che mi viene in mente è sicuramente tutta un'altra cosa. What's so hard about that? Un po' di contesto aiuta sempre.

Hard about is a nautical term meaning to turn a sailship around. I don't know how it would translate into Italian.

AMAZING. Just when I had you all figured for a city guy, there you go knowing HARD ABOUT is a sailing term.

I owned a sailboat @ one time. It can be a very expensive hobby plus It's a lot of work maintaining it.

Thanks!
It's a nautical term, the context was the Enterprise. They were under attack so the commander ordered the "hard about!". In italian maybe it is "Invertire la rotta".

I found it for the Enterprise also.

As an adjective: a hard-about turn

So you can execute a hard about turn.

Or even as a verb:
Kirk orders "one-hundred eighty degrees, hard about". We see the ship turn quickly to port, and it is only several seconds later that Kirk orders a reduction to "sub-warp speed".

From the verb "to about": far virare di bordo (termine nautico)

So...

Hard about!
Vira di bordo!
