| you want your nine to five, don't do what i do. si tu veux te la couler douce, ne fais pas comme moi Explanation: Une suggestion qui inclut le côté pépère du fonctionnaire qui preste des heures régulières et généralement sans stress. En français, lorsque l'on se réfère aux foncionnaires, il y a souvent un côté négatif. On voit celui qui est assis dans son bureau et ne travaille pas des masses. Son côté Rambo me fait préférer le tutoiement. En français, il rajouterait sans doute : mon vieux ou mon gars ... Si tu veux ou si tu as envie ... Si tu préfères .... |

peer agreement (net): +2| you want your nine to five, don't do what i do. Métro boulot dodo, c'est pas pour moi Explanation: Clearly not a literal translation but an alternative approach given the stated context and can only work in certain contexts... In most contexts, if I were to say "you want your nine to five, don't do what i do", I wouldn't mean it literally - even in English. It is an engaging way of saying that I have, and that I want, an interesting job with little routine. All depends on the wider context... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day1 hr (2010-11-25 13:08:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @josepjkitchenn, aha now I see!
