"By going to Portugal he could champion the oppressed, display his chivalry and self-denial, uphold constitutional rule, and enjoy the freedom of action he craved." "In a castle, a castle tower had been a manifestation of dominance over the territory and a display of power against other domains and threats, that is, a symbol of legitimacy." |

Comments: | Encountered in my anime. One translator literally chose "flaunting" the other "showing off" ("their magic strength"). These are easily verified glosses. You can add "ostentation" to my list of new English vocabulary... My original inclination was to change this to "ostentatious display" (as in "an ostentatious display of wealth"). eijiro actually has "display ~ ostentatiously". You might like some other terms on the list... After looking over actual reverso glosses, though, I'm reluctantly inclined to give "display" as a direct gloss(3rd-most popular on reverso), but with an "e.g." that makes it clear why it can work alone. I guess we could switch "display" for "displaying", but then it would be hard to squeeze "of" into the structure, and that seems like a nice hint... well, either way. Does not appear to be [adj-no]. Was tempted to write out: (ostentatious) display (e.g. of power, of wealth, etc.) This seems perfectly correct, but I worry you'd find it too ugly. |
