Thank you for your help in translations from German in Um Himmels Willen. Tricky to translate a pun: Reifeleistung plays with Abitur (= Reifeprüfung), and "reife Leistung" is more often used with irony (meaning the opposite) than not. "Great accomplishment" is way too harmless. "Lebenslüge" means that someone lied to himself for all of his life, would not know that in English. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
