English term or phrase:faculty like you
With our new ReadingList service we’ve focused on high quality content with practical application ... so you don’t have to. XXX believes that reading lists still play a vital role in enhancing the learning experience. We also realize the difficulties that you may encounter in getting students to read for courses, even assigned reading in essential textbooks.
The ReadingList-Service was designed to address these issues - ***with faculty like you in mind.***
I have really no idea how to translate this. It seems wrong to my ears to use this word in the singular, but the text has it like that throughout and the client sits in England. I suppose it is correct.
Does anyone have a good idea how to translate this term?
My try:
"Hier setzt der Reading List Service an - mit Berücksichtigung von Fakultäten wie Ihrer."
I am not happy with that though, because I don't think it accurately reflects the meaning of the source text.
Klingt mir noch im Ohr: "Unter den Talaren, der Muff/Mief (?) von tausend Jahren", wobei hier mit den tausend Jahren die zwölf unseligen des vermeintlichen "tausendjährigen Reiches" gemeint waren, mit den Roben- und Talarträgern die aus der Zeit übriggebliebenen und die vermeintlich gleichgesinnten Richter und vielleicht auch solche Anwälte. Wie gut, dass niemand ernsthaft "Talarträger wie Sie" vorgeschlagen hat ;-)
Bei uns hieß es vor mehr als vierzig Jahren: "Unter Roben und Talaren ...". Da kann man nicht fragen, wer Recht hat, sondern nur feststellen, dass das doch zwei verschiedene Welten sind.
