- Hi, Can you please explain this to me: 'But the statement is so general as to be almost empty.' and 'Positively harmful.' The context: «I decide to sort out my problem with the proposal in writing, by replying to the colleague who forwarded me the article. ‘It’s unfair!’ Impatiently, I blurt out the kernel of what bothers me about it. But the statement is so general as to be almost empty. ‘Heavy-handed. Quietly authoritarian. Positively harmful.’ » Thanks in advance.April 15, 202140
- Hello everyone, I'm translating an article, but having a hard time understanding 'proposal' here: «What is it about the proposal that strikes me as so disturbing? Reading through an article describing a local government measure, I feel opposition rising within me. As I imagine the proposal playing out in practice..» I have to translate it in one word, should it be 'opinion' or suggestion'? Thank you.April 13, 202110
- Hello everyone, could anyone help me with understanding these words? 1-Does 'proposal' here mean 'opinion'?: «What is it about the proposal that strikes me as so disturbing?’ Reading through an article describing a local government measure, I feel opposition rising within me. Normally, forming an opinion about such things would take me some time. But not here. The proposal instantly strikes me as unjust.» 2- «As I imagine the proposal playing out in practice, . .» What does 'playing out in practice' mean? 3- But the statement is so general as to be almost empty. Could you explain the meaning of the whole sentence? Especially 'statement'. Thank you very much.April 12, 202111
