periphrasis


- noun
- Pl: periphrases
- perífrase

EN Thus, the challenger, on his notions, has you in a dilemma at any rate: for if you do not translate it, then it confirms his belief that the whole is jargon: if you do, (as doubtless, with the help of much periphrasis, you may translate it into English, that will be intelligible to a man who already understands the philosophy,) then where was the use of the new terminology?
GL Así, o contendente, nas súas nocións, teno a vostede nun dilema, en calquera caso; porque se non a traduce, entón confirma a súa crenza de que todo iso é xerga; e se o fai (como, sen dúbida, coa axuda de moitas perífrases, pode traducilo ó inglés, de xeito que poida ser intelixible para un home que xa entende a filosofía) entón, ¿onde estaba o uso da nova terminoloxía?
