peer agreement (net): -1uitgerust Explanation: Volgens mij heb je het toch bij het rechte eind met 'equipped'. Ik lees de zin als volgt: If the people (staff) who are required to unlock you are kitted (equipped to do so), you will stand by the back wall... Succes! |

voorzien van Explanation: It may be that the sentence should be "If the staff is required to unlock, you are kitted which might be translated to: Als van het personeel verwacht wordt dat zij openen, worden ze voorzien van een sleutel/..../.... But I think you should ask an explanation from the client as the sentence looks a bit odd to me! Good Luck! own experience |

equipped Explanation: Hi Nicolo, I do think they mean "equipped" here. When I enter -"to be kitted" prison- in google I get 8 sites in which they all use it like that. Van Dale Groot Woordenboek: kitted out = uitgerust(equipped) kitted up = uitgerust/uitgedost (dressed) A few other links with prison terminology (quite interesting and educational!). None of them have kitted out, but they might be of use to you anyways. http://www.eightballmagazine.com/diatribes/diatribes043/diat... http://dictionary.prisonwall.org/ http://www.ci.houston.tx.us/citygovt/mayor/antigang/slang.ht... HTH Ellemiek -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-06 09:51:14 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It does actually make sense that the prisoners have to stand back when the guards receive (are equipped with) guns or keys or anything like that. |
