Hallo Verena,


das "parsing" ist hier wichtig: played by ist als erster grammatikalischer Wortblock zu unterscheiden von dem zweiten, the likes of:



"characters [...] played by the likes of Jean Harlow, and other famous actresses"
=
"Filmfiguren [...], die von solch bekannten / solchen Schauspielerinnen wie Jean Harlow, und anderen, gespielt wurden"

Da ich regelmäßig Kosmetik usw. übersetze, weiss ich, dass die Produktbeschreibung packend sein muss. Eine Übersetzung 1:1 ist hier fehl am Platze..... :-)

@Verena Milbers: Sag uns doch bitte noch, um welche Produkte es hier genau geht, damit ich Schattierungen mit Lidschatten usw. ersetzen kann....?
