hi!
what would be correct or at least less false ;) animals ascend or ascend animals?
meaning should be „the rise of the animals“ as in getting more rights, animal welfare etc.
don‘t wanna us ascending or of in between the words, as it‘s supposed to be used for marketing purposes, but should of course be kind of correct :)
thank you in advance for your help!

Antwort: 

von Antworter88, yesterday, 21:04  Spam?  165.227.22...

Neither works in English, unless the animals are taking a trip to heaven.

Animal welfare is gaining more prominence. . . .
Animal rights are gaining more attention . . .
Animals are attaining more rights . . . .

thx for your answer, but isn‘t „ascend“ also a synonym for arise, progress, elevate, move up etc.? as far as i know it‘s meaning‘s not only the one you‘ve described

Antwort: 

von tessy99, yesterday, 22:11  Spam?  37.201.117....

Wouldn't for example "improving living conditions of animals" be more appropriate to describe...this you try to say...

I understand the word "ascend" relating to human beeings, as making a career (climbing up or so)
an animal wearing a tie, holding speaches driving luxory cars, having dinner as a sign of being risen...
( It sounds to me not really matching with animals)

Or to say a different thought: Animals eat, sleep. run around. They don't t observe themselves, realize they are not doing fine, organize with each other gatherings, discuss, demonstrate and fight for a better way of living..- It's like they have to be helped, so the circumstances are improved (by humans or nature)
[ I would not say "the circumstances are rising" or "the circustances are ascending" ]

They, the animals, are not active themselves. It's done for them.

- and I share the view of Antworter88 as well

If a client were slow to settle his bill of costs, Mr. Jorkins was resolved to have it paid; and however painful these things might be (and always were) to the feelings of Mr. Spenlow, Mr. Jorkins would have his bond.

Supposedly, Jorkins would demand that the late-paying client sign a bond obligating said client to pay at a future date or have the amount collected by force of law. Jorkins would "have his [the client's] bond" because Jorkins would keep the bond at his law office.

This is not my text, but it is a similar example of the phrase in use:

Yes, I understand it in the sense that this is what a teacher or talkmaster would do.  Moving alongside, encouraging the persons to speak/contribute in the discussion, to reflect or ask questions, but not being very active oneself in it, not being dominant...

If "moderate" means to lower or uppress, then I don't think this is meant.

Antwort: 

von Windfall (GB), 2018-10-19, 16:52  Spam?  

Thanks, Redrufus and tessy99. 4;tessy99, yes "moderate" is what a teacher or discussion chair would do.
4;Redrufus, do you definitely mean "eulogy"?
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/eulogy
1. countable noun
A eulogy is a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something very much.
[formal]
2. countable noun
A eulogy is a speech, usually at a funeral, in which a person who has just died is praised.

Antwort: 

von tessy99, yesterday, 23:34  Spam?  37.201.117....

yesterday at 15:19 I used the word "talkmaster", I know it from german television shows and believed so far I can use it 1 to 1 in english. I just now saw in this dict.cc "talk show host" on the english side, wich I meant to say. "Talkmaster" is only in the german language wich confuses me, because "talk" is no german word. ( and master also not ) ( by origin they are both english wich made me believe, put together as "talkmaster", they mean the same in english of course) When we use English expressions as a naturally belonging word, we call these words "eingedeutscht." ( ein-ge-deutsch-t = in-to-german-ed ) Wich means that we got used to use the term for such a long time, that we don't realize that they are not german anymore.

Antwort: 

von Windfall (GB), today, 09:51  Spam?  

There are a surprising number of German words like that where the German words are based on English words, but we don't use that word with that meaning. Examples include Handy, Oldtimer and Bodybag. We do the same with "Ersatz", which doesn't usuallt mean a replacement in general in English, but specifically means an inferior substitute.

Frage:

von Deseret (SI), 2018-10-19, 14:07  Spam?  

Besides these, there were sundry immense manuscript Books of Evidence taken on affidavit, strongly bound, and tied together in massive sets, a set to each cause, as if every cause were a history in ten or twenty volumes.

Antwort: 

von Windfall (GB), 2018-10-19, 14:31  Spam?  

As Wikipedia says: An affidavit (/ˌæfɪˈdeɪvɪt/ AF-i-DAY-vit) is a written sworn statement of fact voluntarily made by an affiant or deponent under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law.
So I think what we're talking about here is books of evidence that was given in the form of sworn statements.
In English the person asking for a statement/affidavit "takes" the statement/affidavit, e.g. "the police took a statement from the witness". This means the police (asked for  and) received a statement.
Because this is not modern English, it is possible that English use has changed and I am therefore wrong, but this is how I interpret it.

Antwort: 

von Zuchi1, 2018-10-19, 14:55  Spam?  62.216.202....

An affidavit is a sworn statement, with criminal sanction if the content is false and the maker had lied.   If the witness is not a Christian then a variant is used.   It is still in modern use, in civil disputes.

4;Zuchi1, funnily enough it's not the meaning of "affidavit" that concerns me. It didn't occur to me that anyone could assume that was the bit that might have changed. It's the "taken on" that I'm not certain about.

That does seem reasonable and seems to match what Zuchi1 and I said - except I'm not sure it would necessarily have to be a notary who took the affidavit. If you are able to translate the equivalent of "with affidavits" or "with sworn witness statements", that seems reasonable to me.

The Pickwick Papers depict a long legal process in the earlier dysfunctional English legal system, that was why my law lecturer mentioned it.  

Notaries in the English legal system are senior solicitors.  They are not the only ones empowered to administer oaths.  The translation injected more into the original sentence.

I wish I had more context to give. This a  very short directive given in pedagogical manual from 1892 on how to teach history to young Prussian boys. I think I get the meaning. The wording is what I'm worried about

"Lebensbilder aus der vaterländischen Geschichte, wobei von Gegenwart und Heimat auszugehen ist."

"
Biographies from the history of the fatherland whereby the present(-day) and homeland are the basis. (or "form the basis"?)"

IOW: we learn the history of the country through the lens of the present?

Antwort: 

von ddr (AT), Last modified: 2018-10-19, 08:29  Spam?  

It sounds confuising, but maybe it isn't. Maybe it just means that your starting point should be local, for instance if there is a castle  nearby the village the pupils live in, you start with the history of that castle, the noble family that owns or owned it etc.
I remember that in primary school we were first tought - in a subject called 'Heimatkunde', a combination of geography and history - about the history of the town in which we lived and the sights that still remind of historical  events, not about the history of Austria.

Antwort:

I think the author meant 'as opposed to' (im Gegensatz zu)..

A juxtaposition is a comparison by placing something next to something else (Nebeneinanderstellen). Many people believe juxtaposition means 'as opposed to.' An opposition could become visible through a juxtaposition, but so could a similarity.

We have consistently not had the brand Tylenol in the UK. For marking [Am.], [Br.] etc., I think we generally ignore countries that tend to line up with US or UK usage when adding the tag. For instance, most Australian English is the same as UK English, but we only mark it [Aus.] when it's only Australian and not also [Br.]. For me the purpose of an [Am.] tag would be a warning that you should assume "Tylenol" won't be understood in the UK.
We do have a history of including brand names in the dict wherever the brand name is in common usage in place of the name of the item, for instance "Kleenex" for the US and "Tippex" for the UK. Kleenex is not labelled US (and admittedly we do have them in the UK, we just don't tend to use "Kleenex" as a general replacement for the word "tissue"). Would you argue that the tag "[British trademark]" should be taken off "Tippex" in case it is also used elsewhere? Would an American understand what I wanted if I asked if they had any Tippex?
I would have thought from the fact that I have heard "Tylenol" often enough in US shows to know roughly, but not precisely what it is means that it is getting used as a synonym for "painkillers" in the US.

4;Michael, no, if "Rolls-Royce" is widely known in the US, then although it's a trademark of what at least was once a British manufacturer (I'm never certain which ones have been bought out), in the sense it is used in the dict, it is not a [British trademark]. What I am hoping the dict can continue to express (that you seem opposed to) is whether a trademark is widely known in both the UK and the US, just in one of them or just in one or more other English-speaking countries

I think they are suggesting he is a maker or counterfeiter of coins (money), and that this process is where the noise is coming from. Having read the book, I doubt the suggestion is serious (any more than the suggestion he might be a pirate), they are just being imaginative children and naming a noisy job as an imaginative possible source for the noise that it amuses them to think of him doing
