In some languages (such as Arabic), there is no big difference between
these two terms (the original term in German, and the Hebrew
translation).

It reminds me a verse from the "Brit HaChadasha"(*):

        "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak".

The brilliant translator translated it to:

        "HaVodka Achla, Aval HaBasar Mehurban"...

(*) to save you the need to read the Brit HaChadasha in order to understand the
real meaning, let me translate it here:

        "HaMotivazia Gvoha, Aval Mazav HaChomer Yarud".
