Sure, Orn, it's my pleasure to help you out on this one. The correct translation of the German expression is: the way. Google Translate brings you there in only three or four steps. First you have it translate the "&"-sign by listening to the translation, then you have this word translated back to German, and then you replace the "&"-sign in the expression with the word you have been given by Google Translate. Now you enter all words of the expression and you get the correct result: the way.
Which brings me back to my questioning you for the way you connected the two copied terms. You inserted the connection maker all by yourself and this is where I saw your creative act, your own personal interpretation. An interpretation which deviates from the context in which the two terms are presented. And normally you do anything but try to give your own personal interpretation. That's why I asked. Please.
