<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Beste Heather,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="word-spacing: 0px;">re Luc's link to the pdf file</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I don't suppose there is an
Englishb translation of this anywhere? It looks fascinating and although I can
( just about) make sense of most short mails and discussions on the forum, such
a long detailed piece would leave me utterly flummoxed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I just ran the pdf through
Google's translation service, and published the result here:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://files.me.com/luchellinckx/bnd7zh" target="_blank">files.me.com/luchellinckx/bnd7zh</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Definitely not the best
translation you could ever get (lost most of the layout for example), but I
think you'll be able to get the gist of it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If not, you could consider
sending an e-mail to professor Schrijver, asking him if an English translation
of his oration is available (you can find his addy at the end of the pdf).</span></p>
