I hope many Danes/readers will take its message to heart Explanation: The expression ´eje´ sometimes has an undertone of being committed to something or getting involved, as well as the literal meaning here. As Mette suggests, unless the text refers specifically to Danish workplace culture and attitudes to stress, in a translation it might be an idea to translate the word Danes freely or localise in some way. |
