Kapitel 16
Das Thema in Kapitel sechzehn ist ,,Was ist Aufklärung?” Die Grammatik, die vorkommt, ist unterschiedliche Bedeutungen der Modalenverben.
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), one of the greatest German philosophers, is a child of the Enlightenment and at the same time its conquerer. He lived his whole live in Königsberg, where he was also a professor of philosophy at the Königsberg University. Kant always asked himself the questions: What can I know? What should I do? What may I hope? The first of these questions, however, was most important to him. In three criticisms, he set up a system of logic, ethics and aesthetics. In the “Criticism of the Pure Reason” (1781), he examined the borders of human realization.
I didn’t have much problems translating this paragraph.
Immanuel Kant war ein berühmter deutscher Philosoph, der während der Aufklärung geleben ist.
Kapitel 17
Das Thema in Kapitel siebzehn ist ,,Größter Raub-Saurier in Patagonien entdeckt” und die Grammatik, die vorkommt, ist mehr Modalenverben.
American and Argentine scientists discovered the fossilized remains of probably the largest carnivorous dinosaurs in the framework of the excavation for the “Dinosaur Project 2000.” Several prehistoric giants were discovered in Patagonien. So far, the researchers believed it was considered a loner, however, the new finds point to a group life. “We always believed it was alone–now we know it lived in groups,” said the excavator Philip Currie.
I had problems with word order in a few sentences and needed to look up vocabulary words.
Bevor haben Leute in Deutschland gewohnen, ist der größte Dinosaurier in der Welt dort geleben.
Kapitel 18
Das Thema in Kapitel achtzehn ist ,,Der Zeppelin im ersten Weltkrieg” und die Grammatik, die vorkommt, ist koordinierunge Konjunktionen und unterordnende Konjunktionen.
Under the direction of Count Zeppelin, the first zeppelin, the “LZ1″, took off in 1900. In the following years, the airships became bigger and faster. After World War I broke out, the zeppelins were taken over by the navy and the army. They were first used for reconnaissance flights over the North Sea agains the English fleet and later engaged in bombings over England. When the zeppelins made their first air raids over Enland and London, they caused great alarm because there was no successful defense against them when they flew 2.5 miles in the air.
I had to look up vocabulary words for this paragraph, but grammar was not a problem.
Zeppelins waren die geheimnisvollen Luftschiffe von Deutschland während den ersten Weltkrieg und waren sehr gefährlich zu steuern.
