Translating phrases

I see the task is to translate a phrase into English and provide concise options. For instance, the quote "Freund: We haven't lost for a while, but we don't need to use defeats to toughen ourselves," can be refined.

I think: "We haven't lost in a while, but we don't need a loss to keep our edge" sounds more idiomatic. I’ll aim to give both a literal and a natural translation.

So, my suggested options are:

• Literal: "We haven't lost in a while, but we don't need to sharpen ourselves through losing."
• Natural: "We haven't lost in a while, but we don't need a defeat to keep us sharp."
