English to German: Literary translation General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English We often liken ourselves to busy bees, emphasizing the constant activity, yet overlooking that mere buzzing accomplishes little.
If the hive were to merely buzz or gather unprocessed nectar from some vast repository of information, such as an encyclopedia of nectar, it would not contribute to the collective production of honey.
In our conversation, someone eventually challenged the notion of tiresome monotony in American life.
This perspective injected a new angle into our discussion.
Why should there be monotony when the United States hosts a multitude of races, each striving to assert its unique identity?
Translation - German Wir vergleichen uns oft mit fleißigen Bienen und pochen auf unser unablässiges Tun. Dabei übersehen wir aber, dass bloßes Summen wenig bewirkt.
Würden die Bienen nur summen oder versuchen, rohen Nektar aus einem riesigen Informationsfundus, etwa einer Nektar-Enzyklopädie, zu ziehen, würden sie keinen Beitrag zur kollektiven Honigproduktion leisten.
Schließlich zog jemand das Konzept einer ermüdenden Monotonie des amerikanischen Lebens in Zweifel.
Dies brachte einen neuen Blickwinkel in unsere Diskussion.
Wie konnte sich das Leben in den USA monoton gestalten, wenn man an die vielen verschiedenen Rassen dachte, von denen jede versuchte, ihre einzigartige Identität zu wahren?
