Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Camus, L'Étranger
French term or phrase: tout compte fait
ho trovato l'espressione "et tout compte fait" , che il dizionario traduce "tutto sommato, tirate le somme" (Garzanti)
io vorrei tradurre "a conti fatti", pensate che sia la stessa cosa in italiano?
grazie

neutral  Carole Poirey: qui sta parlando il direttore della casa di cura dove è morta la mamma del protagonista; il termine "fiera" mi sembra inaproppriato

  -> mamma mia, questo dettaglio non lo sapevo... però è un modo di dire usato senza riferirsi alla "fiera" intesa come evento di festa o mercato, proprio come modo di dire "neutro". Comunque, appunto, solo chi ha tutto il testo in mano può giudicare.
