1 hr confidence:
curve past the target Explanation: See the discussion entries. I don't think this has anything to do with the traditional meanings of "schleifen", to grind or drag. It describes the shape of the movement, which is a bend or curve. http://dictionary.reverso.net/german-english/schleife -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 22 hrs (2018-05-16 14:45:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Johanna for pointing out that they've translated it as "approximate positioning". I actually think my translation fits this specific context better, but take your pick... |
