Not just the preposition that's wrong! Explanation: This whole dire text needs to be rewritten by a native-speaker of English. For example: "... or that absence *with* the Insurer of the information about this" might be better expressed as: ... or that the Insurer's lack of such information. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2017-04-05 18:20:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Re Asker's notes a) "ROLF"? b) "absence *with*" is wrong on two counts: the preposition "with" (it should be "of") and the use of the noun "absence". c) As this is a translation from another language, I wouldn't venture an opinion. However, I would note that it seems more than unreasonable to expect an insurer to pay out on the occurance of an insured event that it doesn't know about! It is more likely that this is about a duty on the insured to declare the event within a certain timescale. Nonetheless, it is for a translator to translate the source text, which is probably perfectly clear about this, but needs to be translated into English by a native speaker of English who is a competent translator of the source language. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2017-04-05 18:22:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The above got a bit garbled in editing and should have read: ... Nonetheless, it is for a translator to translate the source text, which is probably perfectly clear about this, not to amend it. But that source text needs to be translated into English by a native speaker of English who is a competent translator of the source language. |
