I love translating, but of course much of this vocabulary was unfamiliar to me because I don't read much (in German) about meiosis, and other reproductive technicalities. :) Fascinating, though. When I took German in college I think I astonished my professors sometimes by my translation exercises. This combined not only my joy in deciphering German, but my delight in using the English language. I would spend a great deal of time in working out just the right wording that captured not only word-for-word translation, but the spirit of the piece.
