LeinAantal berichten: 3389 | I agree with Nego and Jollyo. Earned is better here than deserved and there is no 'but' in the original. | | |
19 juni 2008 11:43 | | | WeLL, I agree with Lilian. " to earn" is more often used in another way, i.e. " I earn money"(because I work), but "to deserve" means that you have done something "to deserve " something.   | | |

kfetoAantal berichten: 953 | i'd use earn, in fact 'verdienen' in german is also "more often used in another way, i.e. " I earn money"(because I work)," | | |
19 juni 2008 16:32 | | | Hello kfeto. You are right about" verdienen", it can mean " to earn money", but on the other hand, it can also mean "deserved", but in this particular case I still agree with Lilian.
Bur it's a small translation and moreover, is it that important? The use of the word is ok. I think, it depends on the way you feel the translation, and not long considerations about one word. What do you think ?
