Neither turn nor beat would get this sentence off to a sensible start. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2018-02-14 13:47:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- trick + ski on Google https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ski tricks&oq=ski trick&aq... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2018-02-14 15:17:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Phil Goddard says that I "need German references". He must have missed this in the Discussion Box, so here it is again: https://en.langenscheidt.com/german-english/skischwung The literal translation would be 'turn' but, because of this noun's multiple meanings, the context calls for a different skiing-related term, e.g 'trick' (see Google examples abaove). ''Miss a trick' has the added benefit of being an idiomatic expression which gets the sentence off to an upbeat start. There doesn't seem to me to be any ambiguity in the meaning of 'verpassen' (to miss) here. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2018-02-14 17:52:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "I think it may well refer to stopping off for food." Surely that is reading too much into it? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2018-02-14 22:03:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So we have two other suggestions: 1) lunch break / pit stop (Axel) 2) total rewrite (Ramey) If my suspicion that this refers to Zuschauer is correct, how about...? you won't miss any of the action |
