s.b. Explanation: Hi Ian, the only thing I can think of is "to round off", to round off a day nicely with chocolate. Honestly, the German is sort of weird! An example: ... Comment: ''A pint in a pub would round off the day nicely.'' ''A term in Congress rounded off his career.''. arbeD, Mon Aug 26 05:42:48 2002.

cosiness Explanation: OK, I've re-invented it a bit here but I think this is an English fit. Nosey question: Is the writer for, or against chocolate? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2003-12-02 11:22:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Goes well with tröstet. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2003-12-02 11:23:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another idea: \"snugness\". If you used \"sNugness\" in the first sentence, then you could use \"sMugness in the second\". Not bad, eh? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2003-12-02 11:25:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another idea: \"snugness\".

peer agreement (net): +2comfort zone Explanation: I think comfort zone comes pretty close to the author's intentions here, although that rules out translating "tröstet" as "comforts". Maybe you could say something like this: "Chocolate soothes the consumer and draws him into a comfort zone where everyday cares and worries can be forgotten". |
