sich richten nach ... / sich orientieren nach ... Explanation: to defer to ... Beispiele für das Subjekt im Satz: young man, pupil, newcomer Beispiele für das Objekt im Satz:elder, senior, master, teacher // opinion, view Beispielsätze: Generally the young should defer to the opinions of their elders, but such deference can be overdone. Grandfather ruled his family with a rod of iron, his views were invariably deferred to. There were some self-appointed experts to whom he was not preferred to defer. Das passt dann auch zur Fragestellung, nämlich: .. wie sich eine Generation nach der anderen richtet (orientiert usw.) Quelle: Cowie / Mackin: Oxford Dictionary of Current Idiomatic English, Vol. 1 Verbs with Prepositions & Particles, London, Oxford usw. 1975 |
