French term

qui permet de repousser ses limites et de se sentir relié

French to English Art/Literary
Si le besoin de transcendence (le sentiment d'être traversé par une force qui nous dépasse et donne un sens à nos existences) n'est pas absent de cette démarche, il s'exprime à une échelle plus humaine: celle de l'amour, nouvelle figure du sacré, qui permet de repousser ses limites et de se sentir relié.

neutral Tony M : I would have agreed, except I don't think you can stretch 'repousser' as far as overcome... Agreed; but then I don't feel 'limitations' is right here either! My reading is 'ones own limits', NOT 'ones limitations'; goes well with 'love' etc.

If I had used limits, then "stretch" would be better, but to "stretch" limitations doesn't sound right

I'm not sure what you mean by your answer.
disagree Tony M : It isn't automatically 'him'; and where are you getting 'rest' and 'relief' from?

French term (edited): qui permet de repousser ses limites et de se sentir reli�

which permits to push the limits and feel connected

..
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : Not too sure about 'push' on its own; and it is 'SES' limites, not 'les...', which I think is quite important in this context

French term (edited): qui permet de repousser ses limites et de se sentir reli�

enabling one to push back ones limits and enjoy a feeling of connection

'repousser' means 'push back and NOT 'overcome'

To me, in this apparently psychological/emotional context, 'relié' seems to work best as 'connected' or 'connection'

the right translation often comes to one later...

FINAL; to stretch one\'s limits


Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : Sometimes, like deadlines... but like 'barriers', there's nothing wrong with 'pushing them back' too
