Definition

- 2Attention !, Fais attention !, Fais gaffe !
- 3Der Curaremeister war eine würdevolle, priesterlich hagere Gestalt. So, erklärte er, schabe man die Zweige, so zerreibe man die Rinde auf einem Stein, so fülle man, Vorsicht, den Saft in einen Bananenblatttrichter. Auf den Trichter komme es an. Er bezweifle, daß Europa etwas ähnlich Kunstvolles hervorgebracht habe. Nun ja, sagte Humboldt. Es sei zweifellos ein sehr respektabler Trichter. — (Daniel Kehlmann, traduit par Juliette Aubert, Die Vermessung der Welt, Rohwolt, Hamburg, 2005) #*: Le maître du curare était un personnage hiératique d’une maigreur sacerdotale. Voilà comment, expliqua-t-il, on grattait les branches, on broyait l’écorce sur une pierre, on faisait couler le jus – attention – dans un entonnoir en feuilles de bananier. Le plus important, c’était l’entonnoir. Il doutait que l’Europe ait jamais produit quelque chose d’aussi élaboré. Certes, dit Humboldt. C’était incontestablement un entonnoir des plus respectables.
