departure, awakening (context!!!) Explanation: but often requires nonliteral translation: In your context this could refer to enthusiasm for a specific new beginning (like launching a new project) or a more general enthusiastic pioneering spirit, enjoying breaking the rules to cross new frontiers, pursuing innovation, out-of-the-box thinking to trigger new paradigms or business initiatives etc. Aufbruch departure, awakening (Oxford-Duden) im Aufbruch begriffen be on the point of departure etc. we’re going somewhere, …on the move (online dictionary) Aufbruchstimmung pioneering spirit/spirit of regeneration Online glossary Getting ready to go (Oxford Duden) P.S. I sent this answer Sunday evening but it never showed up. Apparently there were server problems. Let's hope this works. HTH Tom see above |
