Sigh, I should have expected it.
We thank you I sigh. Hopes.
This is the sort of stuff you'll find here.
Here are sorted to find something like this.
Equilibrium in two steps!
Notice that there's no "I" in "team" but you can't have "equilibrium" without a dose of librium.
Actually, that web site's idea, equilibrium, is sort of strange. I found when learning German and when translating that you have to go back and forth from dictionary to dictionary because every word has not one meaning but a cluster, a set of meanings, and you only have success in translation if the meaning sets in the two languages overlap sufficiently and with the meaning you intend.
There's the classic Jimmy Carter's idiot translator who didn't learn the first lesson about "know." When we know a fact, that's the proper definition. But to say "know a person" in most European languages requires a completely separate verb. Otherwise it's carnal knowledge. Carter told a Polish official something about screwing him.
