engelska-tyska översättning av nitroglycerine

NitroglyzerindasEs sei hier deutlich gesagt, der Nobelpreis geht auf Stickstoffmonoxid und nicht auf Nitroglyzerin zurück. So it must be stated clearly that the Nobel Prize was awarded for nitric oxide, and not for nitroglycerine. Das wurde von den Dolmetschern mit Nitroglyzerin - einem hochexplosiven Sprengstoff - übersetzt, was nicht ihr Fehler war. This was translated by the interpreters - and this was not their fault - as nitroglycerine, which is a dangerous explosive.
