Why? Are you going to give her a vocabulary test?
»Warum? Wollen Sie sie einem Vokabeltest unterziehen?«
We learned a great deal of vocabulary from their fights. Arrogate, obfuscate, phantasmagoria, stipple, hirsute, quell, atrophy, craven, natter, gnomic, pornographic. These were not words ordinarily encountered on grade school vocabulary tests, but I, at least, began to use them in my everyday writing assignments and soon enough was treated differently, as though I was really smart.
Wir verdankten diesen Streitereien ein umfangreiches Vokabular. Worte wie postulieren, Kollusion, Phantasmagorie, punktieren, repressiv, Hirsutismus, Atrophie, feigherzig, fabulieren, gnomenhaft, pornographisch kamen bei Vokabeltests in der Grundschule gewöhnlich nicht vor, aber ich verwandte sie in meinen Hausarbeiten und wurde sehr bald so behandelt, als sei ich tatsächlich gescheit.
