peer agreement (net): +3a service call Explanation: Usually "desserte" is "service to/of", as in a bus service, or even broadcasting area. Here, it is clearly a drop-off or pick-up, i.e. a service call to the client. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2006-11-27 16:41:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I guess it depends what you are going to nominalise, and what you will leave as verbs... In my version, the translation would be something like: "A 'service call' is a stop for the customer in front of a branch… to pick up or deliver funds and valuables." In my opinion, Carl has been offered manna, since he doesn't have to guess at the meaning of the terms - here they are defined; he just has to find the right word in English. |
