    Miriam:
    Miriam is an attractive young Pakistani woman, she studies geography at university. Her marriage with Farook has been arranged5 but she has no problem to accept her parents’ marriage arrangement for her. They got to know two years ago6 and are now engaged to be married. Miriam is living between two cultures. On the one side is she integrated in the modern western world but on the other side she must hold7 the Muslim traditions. She insists that she is the same person in jeans as in a sari.

    1 - Sinnvoll ist hier die Bedeutung "freizügig", die ich diesem Adjektiv aber gar nicht abgewinnen kann. Wenn ich von Kleidung höre, dass sie "generous" ist, dann würde ich das für Klamotten halten, die ein paar Nummern größer sind, als nötig. Die Verwendung von "revealing" allein fände ich aber ebenfalls unpassend.

    2 - Den Satz verstehe ich so nicht wirklich

    3 - Im ersten Vorkommen ergibt "offer resistance" zwar noch mehr Sinn als im zweiten, aber es passt bei keinem der beiden wirklich gut.

    4 - Es gibt kein Verb "plea" auf Englisch.

    5 - Ob sie eine Hochzeit "hat" steht ja noch gar nicht fest.

    6 - Das Wort "ago" bedeutet bereits vor.

    7 - Ich kann es nicht korrigieren, weil ich die beabsichtigte Aussage nicht kenne, aber so ist es falsch.

    8 - Sie sagt das? Oder meinst du etwas anderes?
