shop(lift)ing? Explanation: Would this work? As in "my friends came back from shop(lift)ing. " Depends on the style of the original though. It's tricky to keep the German play on words in the English translation, and I can't think of a solution, other that to paraphrase it a bit, perhaps. Could you give us an idea of the rest of the sentence it comes from? |
