Cilan put in words 09:28 Nov 23, 2009
what I tried to get across: Lack of discipline is doubtless anathema to any team - but "my" author obviously tried to express that it is also harmful, even destructive, because he chose to use the word "Gift". So my question was/is whether there is an English expression conveying the same meaning, preferably using a similarly powerful metaphor as "Gift" is in German. @Brigitte: Wie ich sehe, hat meine Allgemeinbildung offenbar beklagenswerte Lücken - dennoch ist mein Gefühl, dass "Anathema" den Aussagegehalt hier nicht ganz abdeckt. |
