| the counterfactual alternativet Explanation: Håller med både Thomas och Bo. Men "the counterfactual" passar bättre på engelska i sammanhanget. "Alternativet" skulle kanske kunna tolka som ett givarländernas alternativ till bistånd - kanske långsökt? Föreslår en översättning som "Vi vet inte hur det hade varit utan bistånd".

| the counterfactual den kontrafaktiska situationen Explanation: "The counterfactual" does not refer to an alternative to aid, but to the _situation_ that would have been in Africa if aid had not been given ("what would have happened without the aid?"). We don't know what the counterfactual is. Vi vet inte vad den kontrafaktiska situationen skulle ha varit. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day9 hrs (2010-06-03 23:53:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Och det handlar inte om villkorssatser heller, utan om en situation. |
