A Japanese language question

Postby Socratesabroad » Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:00 pm

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

In various Japanese novels the phrase 'consolation money' is used the translation. The problem is those novels are set before 1960 so it sounds odd to our ears....so odd I remember many years later. I would use 'out of court settlement' as the more PC way of stating it.
