engelska-tyska översättning av crocodile

Krokodildas
Ich allerdings befürchte, dass Ihr Ratsvorsitz Gefahr läuft, für ein politisches Krokodil gehalten zu werden, das heißt, mit einem großen Mund und großen Vorsätzen, aber ohne Ohren, um zuzuhören. I fear, however, that your Presidency runs the risk of being regarded as a political crocodile, that is to say, with a big mouth, expressing big ideas, but which ultimately has no ears to listen with. Hier ein nahe liegender Punkt: Wie sollen wir die Sümpfe des Terrorismus trockenlegen – um das Klischee zu strapazieren –, ohne dabei einige Krokodile zu erschießen? How, to take one obvious point, do we intend to go about not just draining the swamps in which terrorism breeds – to borrow the cliché – but also shooting some of the crocodiles?

Any of the predatory amphibious reptiles of the family Crocodylidae; a crocodilian, any species of the order Crocodilia, which also includes the alligators, caimans and gavials
A long line or procession of people walking together
A fallacious dilemma, mythically supposed to have been first used by a crocodile
To speak one's native language at an Esperanto-language gathering, rather than Esperanto
