the three-beamed star aims the road Explanation: Может быть, стоит попробовать отказаться от существительного "прицел" в пользу глагола " целиться". Мол, ты выставил прицел (дорга) и спокойно держишь, думая о том, о сем... Простите. если что не так... |

three-pointed starscope Explanation: If the author made something up, think up something yourself... It's better than some bumbling literal translation. "three-pointed" would be the standard way of describing the mercedes star: http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:vZoNx8N4DXEJ:www.autome... And the word "star" can be fantastically combined with "scope" to create something similar to a telescope, but with the mercedes symbol. |
