English to German: Subtitle file for the game trailer of Dodoresque - Jungle Fever General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English We are 1500 miles east of the cost of South Africa, in the Indian Ocean, on the tiny island of Mauritius. It is the early days of spring and the air is filled with the sweet scent of blossoming flowers. But the peace on the island is not going to last for long. This fuzzy, colourful and inquisitive creature is a dodo and it is on a mission. At this time of the year, the island is a buzz with labouring birds, all trying to get their bits and pieces to decorate their nest. But this isn’t always as easy as it seems. The island harbours many dangers and the dodo must be on the look-out if it wants to succeed. Giant birds in the sky and cunning cats in the savanna prey on these busy birds. But sometimes the worst enemy is inside the own ranks and more often than not the very dodo itself. But in the end the fittest or sometimes luckiest dodo will finally reap the fruit of its labour and bring an end to this dodoresque spectacle on Mauritius.

Wir befinden uns 1500 Meilen
östlich der Küste von Afrika,
2
00:00:05,939 --> 00:00:07,007
im indischen Ozean,
3
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:09,642
auf der kleinen Insel Mauritius.
4
00:00:10,577 --> 00:00:12,312
Der Frühling ist angebrochen
5
00:00:12,445 --> 00:00:16,316
und der süße Duft
der Frühjahrsblumen liegt in der Luft.
6
00:00:17,484 --> 00:00:20,920
Der Friede auf der Insel
wird jedoch bald ein jähes Ende finden.
7
00:00:21,321 --> 00:00:26,192
Dieses flauschige, neugierige Wesen mit
dem prächtigen Federkleid ist ein Dodo
8
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:27,794
und er hat eine Mission!
9
00:00:28,828 --> 00:00:32,699
Zu dieser Zeit des Jahres herrscht
auf der Insel geschäftiges Treiben.
10
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:36,970
Eifrig sammeln die Vögel
Materialen für ihre Nestdekoration.
11
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:40,907
Doch das ist gar nicht immer so einfach,
wie es scheint.
12
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:44,177
Auf der Insel
lauern zahlreiche Gefahren.
13
00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:47,747
Der Dodo muss stets auf der Hut sein,
um auf der Insel zu bestehen.
14
00:00:48,615 --> 00:00:50,483
Gigantische Raubvögel am Himmel
15
00:00:51,184 --> 00:00:54,487
und listige Raubkatzen in der Savanne
jagen die eifrigen Dodos.
16
00:00:54,921 --> 00:00:59,092
Doch oft ist der schlimmsten Feind
in den eigenen Reihen zu finden
17
00:00:59,926 --> 00:01:02,896
und nicht selten ist es der Dodo selbst.
18
00:01:03,229 --> 00:01:07,233
Doch schließlich wird der Stärkste
oder manchmal der größte Glückspilz
19
00:01:07,567 --> 00:01:10,236
die Früchte seiner Arbeit ernten.
20
00:01:10,603 --> 00:01:15,308
Und damit endet das Dodoresque-Spektakel
auf der kleinen Insel Mauritius.

English to German: September 2015 ECB staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Economics
Source text - English Global growth remains gradual and uneven. It was moderate in the first quarter of the year, and the latest indicators and data point to subdued global activity also in the near term. Looking ahead, global growth is expected to strengthen. Low oil prices, continued accommodative financing conditions at the global level, waning fiscal consolidation, improving labour market conditions and rising confidence should support a pick-up in growth in advanced economies. By contrast, the outlook has worsened considerably in emerging market economies, as some of the downside risks identified in previous projections have materialised. Structural impediments and macroeconomic imbalances are restraining growth in some emerging market economies, while others are being adversely affected by lower commodity prices, political uncertainty and tighter external financing conditions. After the weak start to the year, global GDP growth (excluding the euro area) is projected to accelerate from 3.2% in 2015 to 4% by 2017.
Translation - German Die Wirtschaft wächst weltweit allmählich und ungleichmäßig. Im ersten Quartal des Jahres war das Wachstum moderat und die jüngsten Indikatoren sowie Daten deuten auf kurze Sicht ebenfalls auf eine gedämpfte wirtschaftliche Entwicklung hin. Auf lange Sicht dürfte die Wirtschaft weltweit jedoch wachsen. Die niedrigen Ölpreise, die anhaltenden akkommodierenden Finanzierungsbedingungen weltweit, die nachlassende Haushaltskonsolidierung, die sich verbessernde Arbeitsmarktbedingungen sowie die steigende Zuversicht dürften das Wirtschaftswachstum in den Industrieländern unterstützen. Im Gegensatz dazu haben sich die Aussichten für die Schwellenländer deutlich verschlechtert, da sich dort einige Abwärtsrisiken aus vorhergehenden Projektionen zeigten. Strukturelle Hemmnisse und das gesamtwirtschaftliche Ungleichgewicht beeinträchtigen das Wachstum in einigen Schwellenländern, während niedrigere Rohstoffpreise, politische Unsicherheit und striktere Bedingungen bei der Fremdfinanzierung das ein Wirtschaftswachstum in anderen Schwellenländern verhindern. Nach dem schwachen Jahresauftakt wird erwartet, dass das globale Wachstum des BIP (außerhalb des Euro-Währungsgebietes) von 3,2% im Jahr 2015 auf 4% bis 2017 steigen wird.
