1 hr confidence: 
| thrive on praise digne d'éloges Explanation: Basically, what I understand is that if you complete "Get over 500000 in 1 min mode" Then you receive "Thrive on praise" and when you achieve "Achieve 10 missions in Mission mode" you receive "Congratulations" "Thrive on praise" is imo simply another way of congratulating the player. This is probably the message which will be displayed once the player complete the task successfully I believe - but this is quite difficult to be certain. You need to see how that would fit within your whole text and adapt it obviously. |

| Reference: to thrive on sth Reference information: Here is an example of this type of usage, from R+C Super Senior FR/EN dictionary: he thrives on hard work : le travail lui réussit It's hard to know, however, exactly what your original text is trying to say, as there is no context to explain it; I think you may need to ask the customer how it is being used, in order to be able to turn the formulation correctly. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 minutes (2011-09-01 10:25:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In particular, the source word order suggests an imperative, though it is hard to see just how this expression could be used in the imperative! Hence I suspect you need to have the sentence expanded, written out in full, so as to see what the real intention is. |
