| | if that's the way it is | Explanation:
with a little more context, it would be easier to choose the right translation. the concept, as I understand it, is 'If there is a known proportion x:y, (se x da' y), then x' dara' y''. Se tanto mi da' tanto, figuriamo chi metterano a fare il Direttore Artistico. If they have chosen such a bad superintendent, just imagine who will be named Artistic Director. |

| Grading comment Thank you everyone. AsI suspected, there is no one pat idiomatic English equivalent. The example you gave for context is very similar to the context it was used in. Thanks!
