ich bräuchte mal Hilfe bei der Übersetzung von "carry off", hier der ganze Satz:
I come from a modern country, where we have everything that money can buy; and with all our spry young fellows painting the Old World red, and carrying off your best actresses and prima-donnas, I reckon that if there were such a thing as a ghost in Europe, we'd have it at home in a very short time in one of our public museums, or on the road as a show.
Wer das erkannt hat, jip, es ist vom The Canterville Ghost, ich fang mal klein an
liebe Grüße
Maria
