Croatian term or phrase: "Car je posran" (citat)
Prvo, isprike na ružnoj riječi no radi se o citatu s aluzijom na Dobrog vojnika Švejka Jaroslava Hašeka.

Prevodim znanstveni članak u kojem se ogoljele činjenice povezuju s Andersenovim citatom "Car je gol", pa u fus noti imam:

"Prof. Perišin ide i dalje i prihvaća tvrdnju Dobrog vojnika Švejka, koji parafrazira Andersena, pa kaže „Car je posran“. To možda i najbolje odgovara ogoljelim činjenicama, a koje vide samo oni koji su najiskreniji, a to su mala djeca".

Hvala na pomoći
