Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / tipper lorries | | German term or phrase: NUR nicht umKIPPEN | Dies ist die Überschrift für einen Leitfaden der Berufsgenossenschaft, der von Kippsattelfahrern verwendet werden soll. Schwieriger find ich hier weniger die Phrase an sich, sondern die Tatsache, dass im Deutschen NUR KIPPEN in Fettdruck und der Rest in Normaldruck steht, also gleichzeitig darauf angespielt wird, dass es ja NUR ums kippen geht, der Sattel dabei aber nicht umkippen soll.
Hat irgendjemand eine zündende Idee wie man das auch im Englischen schön zweideutig rüberbringen kann?
Vielen Dank im voraus an alle Wochenendarbeiter :-) |
