examples of dissection:) Explanation: Dear Zmejka, A little more context would help. For now, just what I know about dissecting- it's used figuratively when one wants to indicate that something is given a very close attention, an extremely analytical approach that is very annoying when it comes to dissecting kisses:) To look at something under a magnifying glass, to subject something to a very thorough analysis - Dissecting a frog - препарировать лягушку для научных экспериментов, например А иносказательно - подвергать всё чрезмерно пристальному вниманию и излишнему анализу Don't dissect my every word - may be translated as не придирайся к каждому слову Don't dissect my behavior - don't analyse too much, don't pick on me, don't read between the lines unenesessarily Another possible meaning for 'dissecting kisses" may be this: don't make your/mine kisses too artificial, contrived, calculated If none of the above fits your context, then I take it all back, with my apologies in advance. |
