Translation of "Chap" in German

My dear chap, I'm overjoyed to see you.

Ich bin überglücklich, dich zu treffen, alter Knabe.

- In winter, our lips get chapped.
- Lips chap in winter.
- Lips get chapped in winter.
- Our lips get chapped in winter.

Im Winter werden die Lippen spröde.

There was a time when Christopher Columbus challenged another explorer to a duel. The latter, an underhanded chap, did not take ten steps - as dictated by the rules - but two, then turned around to shoot. Unfortunately for him, Columbus hadn't taken any steps at all.

Einst forderte Christoph Kolumbus einen anderen Entdecker zu einem Duell heraus. Der letztere, ein verschlagener Bursche, ging nicht zehn Schritte, wie es die Regeln vorschrieben, sondern zwei und wandte sich dann um zum Schuss. Zu seinem Unglück hatte Kolumbus gar keinen Schritt getan.

- Though this knave came something saucily into the world before he was sent for, yet was his mother fair; there was good sport at his making, and the whoreson must be acknowledged.
- Although this chap came into the world in a somewhat impudent fashion, before he was sent for, his mother was pretty; we had fun making him, and the illegitimate fellow must be acknowledged.

Obgleich dieser Schelm etwas vorwitzig, bevor er gerufen wurde, zur Welt kam, war doch seine Mutter schön, es ging lustig zu bei seiner Entstehung, und der Hurensohn konnte nicht verleugnet werden.
