This isn't what we wanted Explanation: בהתחשב בקונטקסט נראה לי שאין סיבה ללכת לחפש ביטוי מקביל. בכל מקרה הביטוי הוא "לא לילד הזה פיללנו" ומשמעותו היא פשוט "לא לזה ייחלנו/קיווינו/ וכד'. הבעיה היא שמהמשפט שלך נראה לי שהכותב התכוון דווקא ל"לא לזה ציפינו/לא את זה ביקשנו" בקיצור לדעתי זה פשוט עיניין של להסיק מה לדעתך כוונת המשורר ולתרגם אותה מילולית. מהקונטקט, אני הייתי הולך על wanted/asked for בהצלחה. |
