'wheel round' Explanation: If this is with regards to Martin Heidegger, this is usually thought of his 'eternal merry-go-round' of life. From German, it's a reference to some type of 'wheel' - and to make the complete turn/voyage/revolution is to 'wheel round'. "According to Heidegger, it is the burden imposed by the question of eternal recurrence" You need to put 'wheel' into the translation to maintain the principle and imagery. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-09-13 17:13:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Examples of 'wheel round' or 'wheel around' online "As I cantered up behind her, she wheeled round, and stood facing me, with her ears spread, and her head raised." "He wheeled around and looked back toward the valley, then stared after the retreating she-cat." |

Take a look around Explanation: This is a common or garden conversational phrase, in Italian and therefore requires something equal colloquial in translation, regardless of the metaphor. "To take a look around metaphorically speaking means not stopping at one single aspect and one single truth, but being able to acquire a full view.... Medium certainty because of the uncertainty of the context. |
