Canonical reference b0073

German

62. Schwelgerei der Rache. - Grobe Menschen, welche sich beleidigt fühlen, pflegen den Grad der Beleidigung so hoch als möglich zu nehmen und erzählen die Ursache mit stark übertreibenden Worten, um nur in dem einmal erweckten Hass- und Rachegefühl sich recht ausschwelgen zu können.

62. Reveling in Revenge. Coarse people who feel insulted tend to estimate the degree of the insult as highly as possible and recount its cause in greatly exaggerated words, merely so that they may revel fully in the feeling of hatred and revenge once it has been aroused.

62. Débauche de vengeance. Les hommes grossiers qui se sentent offensés ont coutume d’évaluer le degré de l’offense aussi haut que possible et d’en raconter la cause en termes fortement exagérés, afin de pouvoir se repaître pleinement du sentiment de haine et de vengeance une fois éveillé.
