English-German translations for occur to

einfallenAber wer weiß, was den „so gescheiten Menschen“ so einfallen kann. Who knows, though, what can occur to ‘such clever people’? Das kann eigentlich nur einem Beamten einfallen, der nie einen Groschen in die eigene Industrie stecken musste. Such a thing could only occur to a functionary who has never had to put even a brass farthing into his own industry.
