"Ebben a kérdésben nem szabad engednünk egy tapodtat sem."
Találtam egy olyat, hogy "I'll not stir a foot", abban legalább benne van a láb - de hátha van még jobb :)
Itt kifejezetten a meghátrálásról és annak tagadásáról van ugyanis szó, mert olyan kifejezést is hallottam már, hogy "egy tapodtat se lépek érte", "tapodtat se lép előre", és az itt nem lenne jó.
