Translation examples

beeindruckende figur

Once, on a particularly difficult night, I reported Vince's insubordination to David Hopkinson, the night editor, who was himself a formidable figure when he chose to be. Harrumphing, he went off to sort things out and actually went in the wire room - an impressive flouting of the rules of demarcation.
An einem besonders schwierigen Abend meldete ich Vinces Insubordination einmal David Hopkinson, dem Spätredakteur, der selbst eine beeindruckende Figur abgab, wenn er es darauf anlegte.
