Discussion

Francis Lee (X) Apr 25, 2007:
So why do you say (ask?) "Ist dies nun zu verstehen:"?
Karin T (asker) Apr 25, 2007:
die habe ich leider noch nicht. mehr spätestens morgen. Vielen Dank Euch allen!!!
Steffen Walter Apr 25, 2007:
Wie lautet denn die neue Version des Ausgangstextes? Wenn wir die nicht bekommen, können wir uns kaum ein Urteil bilden.
Karin T (asker) Apr 25, 2007:
Francis, I do not know exactly.. that's the problem. I will contact the customer again and tell you later. thanks for the help anyway!!
Francis Lee (X) Apr 25, 2007:
Do you perhaps mean: explicit distinction? But what's that sentence actually supposed to mean?
Karin T (asker) Apr 25, 2007:
änderung des ausgangstextes Der Text wurde jetzt geändert, da er völlig unzusammenhängend war.

Ist dies nun zu verstehen:

This layout is identified by a clear access concept and explicit identification of the office blocks from the green belt.
Francis Lee (X) Apr 25, 2007:
Yes, I was also wondering what "zum Grünstreifen hin" implies here. Can you enlighten us?
Steffen Walter Apr 25, 2007:
Die Interpretation von "Adressbildung" als "zu einer Top-Adresse werden" passt aber m. E. nicht zu "zum Grünstreifen hin".
Karin T (asker) Apr 25, 2007:
The translation is aimed at non native speakers, but with a very good english knowledge, developer of an area, with architectural background.
Francis Lee (X) Apr 25, 2007:
Is the translation aimed at (English-speaking?) architects, bureaucrats or ... ?

"into a coveted address"
Peer comment(s):
neutral Steffen Walter : Not sure at all. This might well be errant usage (or wrong interpretation by asker). IMHO "to become a top address" does not really fit with "zum Grünstreifen hin".

Dunno, Steffen. You could be right, but I think the writer just means this swanky area stretches to the green (landscaped) area. A little more context always helps.
neutral Kcda : Your choice should have been the other examples you have given! The idea of "top address" = "fashionable place to be" in the future once the competition is over seems correct if we consider the askers explanation as being absolutely correct!

Guess we'll have to wait and see what the final verdict is on the context.

(clear) demarcation/separation

clear demarcation/separation of the site/plot/development area from the green strip/planted area

In my opinion, the context "zum Grünstreifen hin" suggests an interpretation entirely different from your own ("Top-Adresse"). Perhaps the author has used the term incorrectly.

In my view, this would warrant a query to be sent to the customer.
Peer comment(s):
agree Lori Dendy-Molz : OK, I think you win (this time :-).

... for a change :-)
agree Kcda : "Karin T: The translation is aimed at non native speakers, " hence I would prefer separation over demarcation. I believe most non-native speakers would have trouble deciphering that word!
