translation question I'd appreciate your advice or critique of my translation of this sentence: Ils veulent que nous ne soyons que leur double en qui s’exagère ce qu’ils ne peuvent avoir eux-mêmes, et que se réduise ce qu’ils ont eux-mêmes d’excessif. They would have us be their doubles in whom what they themselves cannot have is exaggerated, and what is excessive in themselves is quelled.

Hi Eve,

Without context, it's a bit difficult to give a relevant translation

One remark: "nous ne soyons que"="They would have us be only their doubles"

Ils veulent que nous soyons leurs doubles en qui, ce qu'ils ne peuvent avoir eux-mêmes est amplifié, et, ce qu'ils ont en excès est atténué.
