Co w pewien sposob usprawiedliwialo drastyczne srodki zastosowane przez Robespierra. Sympatia Wajdy zdecydowanie idzie tutaj na rzecz Dantona.

agree  Rafal Piotrowski: Fair enough; może 'affinity towards'

  -> Może być towards. W każdym razie "sympathy" ma z kolei u mnie złe konotacje :-)

neutral  Andrzej Mierzejewski: sympathy to bardziej współczucie, niż sympatia
7 mins
  -> Ale mysle, ze nie w kazdym kontekscie. "It may also be noted that though the U.S. is careful to indicate its neutrality, it appears that sympathy lies with his co-negotiators Britain and France (http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~jobrien/reference/ob47.html)
agree  Ensor: 'sympatia' tutaj oznacza 'bierze strone Dantona' a nie, ze 'czuje do niego sympatie', wiec to tlumaczenie jest jak najbardziej prawidlowe; 'sympathy' to nie tylko 'wspolczucie': vide: slowniki
5 hrs
disagree  legato: Slowniki slownikami a w amerykanskim angielskim "sympathy" jest uzywane glownie jako "wspolczucie"
20 hrs
  -> Hmm. Przydalby sie wiec jakis native na potwierdzenia. Czy tlumaczenia ma byc na amerykanski angielski?
