"virtuous circle" Explanation: This is a play on words ("cercle vertueux" as opposed to the usual "cercle vicieux"). You can obtain exactly the same effect in English by translating literally, and hope that people will "see" the contrast of "virtuous" and "vicious." I would definitely use quotation marks to point out the play on words. |

virtuous cycle Explanation: This is a play on words; the original English expression being "vicious cycle", perhaps it would be more apt to use "virtuous cycle". |
