don\'t let him big dog you Ne le laisse pas te montrer les crocs Explanation: Peut-être, pour aller avec l'analogie du chien. Ou bien "Ne te laisse pas dominer". Bonne chance ! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2017-08-23 19:21:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Seems like Alain Boulé was faster than me! Keeping my reply for "Ne te laisse pas dominer", though. |

don\'t let him big dog you Ne le laisse pas t’intimider Explanation: Bien que "Ne te laisse pas intimider" convienne, je pense que "Ne le laisse pas t’intimider" est ici plus proche de l'expression de départ. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2017-08-24 20:17:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I agree with Odette, however, I think "Ne le laisse pas t'intimider" emphasize the fact that he would be the one initiating the behavior of trying to intimidate her, while "Ne te laisse pas intimider" implies that she could be intimidated by the situation or just the confrontation and it wouldn't necessarily be because of his attitude towards her. |
