1. lid/covering 2.border/margin Explanation: These are two different completions. The first one is a kind of lid, covering the stones- these things are very popular at the moment. The second one refers to the border/edge/margin of the slope. |

finish Explanation: I would have understood it as referring to how it all looks at end " an optically clean finish" and that this is why the support device can be set up to standalone. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-11-28 12:30:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hi Elizabeth, I'm new to proZ.com so not so sure if this is where I'm meant to reply to you!!! My advice would be to translate the word according to the context you find it in each time. A word can mean many different things depending on the context of sentence... I am not sure where the other examples are: "Hangabschlusselement"?- where the device has one side backed up against a slope/hill so the slope is closing it off on that side? Hope this helps. |
