grondwet Explanation: Bij het overbrengen van een woord via telepatie (waar hier sprake is) kiest men over het algemeen voor een volstrekt willekeurig woord, dus ik denk dat je 'constitution' gewoon in zijn meest gebruikte betekenis kunt vertalen als 'grondwet'. Het telepatische antwoord is een al even willekeurige term, 'ox', oftewel 'os'. |

conditie Explanation: Hier wordt gerefereerd aan de uitdrukking 'constitution of an ox': 'If someone has the constitution of an ox, they are less affected than most people by things like tiredness, illness, alcohol, etc.' Je zou dit kunnen vertalen met 'conditie'/'kracht'/'energie' en 'paard'/'beer'/etc. Reference: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/constitution+of... |
