I'm afraid the second sentence is somewhat clumsy, I don't really understand what you are trying to say.

But I translated literally here. This is why I used the experssion "have beginnings". I can understand it doesn't exist in English? But maybe you could suggest sth similar, dear? | | |

If we put: "How destructive all riots seem to be, though lawlessness and degradation have their beginnings in small injuries."
Let me know

I've set a poll.
It's ever such a long time since I did any Latin (over 30 years ago) but I saw "iniuria" in the source text and thought "ooh, that makes me think of the word "injury" that's how I managed to find the right phrase

13 Mars 2010 23:31 | | |  Yes, English words very often come from Latin (not only English as you know). But the modern languages change the source meanings of Latin words in fact. Funny, but "we" didin't translate "iniuria" by "injury", but "detrimentum"! You suggested "in small injuries" for "ex levi detrimento",( btw it is singular in Latin). It is instead of my "damage" now, but actually the main meanings of the word "detrimento" are just: reduction, loss, damage, defeat... But, in context, your "injuries" fits too I guess. I accepted your version mainly because you had improved my poor English syntax (Thank you!). I didn't even notice you had changed one word too...
However, "iniuria" means here: infringement of law, anarchy (sic!), lawllessness... |
