Käännösesimerkit
He did not retain for long the spiteful desire for his brother to lose his health — that far he could not go as an envier, since his brother's losing his health would not result in his regaining his own.
Den bösen Wunsch, der Bruder möge seine Gesundheit verlieren, hegte er freilich nicht lange – so weit konnte er als Neider nicht gehen, denn wenn der Bruder seine Gesundheit verlor, bekam er die eigene doch nicht wieder.
