2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1l'épreuve de force Explanation: Confrontation is ok but the word showdown especially in sports/athletics has a sense of high intensity. So in the context of boxing, I like 'épreuve de force' better. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2007-06-27 13:42:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It can be better, it depends on the document, the client. If you have to translate, that's the expression I would be using, but you can find it in English in French documents too. So I can't answer for you whether it's better or not. You are here the one who can tell. :) |
