This and That means "odds and ends", as in this post by Bee. But in Vedanta, This and That are highly loaded technical terms. This means everything that is perceptible, everything that you can point to; That is everything else. Scientific materialists insist that This is all that exists. The central insight of the Vedanta is "That Thou Art".
All this and that would be lost in mechanical translation.
