20 mins confidence: 
endowed with a national glamour Explanation: Berlin's petrified vacuum at the end of the conflict between east and west... must now be filled by the pretense of capital city architecture; it must be made nationally glamorous. In the sense that Berlin's architecture was a bit stalled at the time of unification, and there was a rush to build it up to make it look like the capital city it hadn't been for 50-60 years, but which Germany now felt it deserved (Bonn having always felt temporary and as a result, make-shift). You could also say " it must be made nationally glamourous." |

should be a showcase for the nation Explanation: The idea being that this yet-unrestored and vacant zone should present the best of architecture worthy of the capital city. "Glamo(u)r" is clearly a false friend in this case. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day18 hrs (2009-09-22 11:30:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You can render "reso" literally as well: should be made / should become -- but this may be unnecessary in EN. |
