German translation:Zeugnisse/ Zeugen dieser Nuss sind im Überfluss vorhanden
Explanation:
Caro may well be right, but if you're not 100% sure of the meaning (which I am definitely NOT), it's safe to stay literal.

  -> Danke, Svetlozara!
agree  Carsten Behrend: Nur "Vorkommen" eben groß schreiben!!
18 mins
  -> oops, Danke, Carsten!
neutral  Nesrin: I may not understand this properly, but do you mean that "Carter bezeugte"? Cause I don't think there's any mention of that in the English text.
20 mins
agree  Wenjer Leuschel (X): Mit "V"orkommen wäre es vollkommen richtig.
36 mins
  -> Habs schon gemerkt! Danke!
neutral  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): Vergangenheitsform? Wer bezeugt? Carter? Schwerpunkt auf Vorkommen? M.E. ist das nicht klar.

disagree  Ian M-H (X): siehe Aniellos Bemerkungen: Ich glaube nicht, dass der englische Text etwas über ein reiches Vorkommen an EN sagt, oder dass jemand etwas bezeugte.

und die Erdnuss ist allgegenwärtig.


Explanation:
sowohl konkret als auch bildlich gesprochen, die "Nuss und Carter" oder "Carter und Nuss" sind quasi Kult!

agree  Nesrin: By the way, I prefer your suggestion too, but I can understand why they asker picked mine. If there is a slight possibility that the original means something else than what you and Caro, and almost everyone else, understood, then it's safer to be literal.
