›Nichts.‹
Ich ordnete an, daß er sich sofort zu Bett legen solle.

I then asked him what had happened, but he replied vigorously and dismissively: "Nothing." I ordered him to go to bed immediately.

Danke, Wendy.
by markvanroode 2 months, 1 week agoHallo Mark, can I suggest that 'vigorously' would perhaps be a better translation of 'eifrig' in this context, and then perhaps 'dismissively' for 'abwehrend'. ?
