peer agreement (net): +1flirter avec le diable Explanation: "Dis à grand-mère et grand-père que je serai en retard... et que je flirte avec le diable." La traduction n'est pas littérale, mais le contexte semble indiquer une conversation où le sens littéral est peu probable. |

peer agreement (net): +1j'en bave / ce n'est vraiment pas marrant / c'est terrible Explanation: Ce que je viens d'écrire est dans un contexte positif. Dans un contexte négatif on aura: c'est du tonnerre, je m'amuse comme un fou (folle) Cf Le Robert et Collins). Un peu plus de contexte m'aurait peut-etre aidée à décider de la meilleure solution. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2003-12-30 10:53:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- j\'ai compris l\'expression comme: I\'m having a hell of a time. |

que je porte l'enfant de Satan Explanation: Pour moi, en tout cas, "Satan", étant personifié, est plus fort que "le diable". Mais c'est peut-être trop littéraire, surtout de nos jours (?) Sous le soleil, sous le soleil de Satan, exactement! [Bardot, Bernanos] |

peer agreement (net): +2que je suis en train d'accoucher de l'enfant de Satan Explanation: pourquoi ne pas conserver l'exagération why not keeping it - depending on context - just a way to say the most horrible thing that could happen to her - to justify her not showing up at her grandparents' for Xmas dinner or anything :-) Re: What Role Would You Most Likely Play In A Horror Movie I said Pregnant with Satan's baby. I always get the weird, embarrassing roles that only women can do when I'm in a horror flick. |
