14 spectre
spectre m;∎ figurative the spectre of war/famine (threat) le spectre de la guerre/la famine;∎ to be the spectre at the feast jeter une ombre au tableauⓘ Spectre at the feast Cette formule est tirée de l'acte III du Macbeth de Shakespeare. Au cours d'un banquet, Macbeth est pris de délire lorsqu'apparaît le fantôme de Banquo, l'ancien camarade qu'il vient de faire assassiner, et dévoile ainsi sa culpabilité; la fête est gâchée et les invités s'enfuient. On emploie l'expression lorsque la présence indésirable de quelqu'un à une réunion fait l'effet d'une douche froide. Par exemple, his first wife turned up at the wedding like the spectre at the feast ("en venant au mariage, sa première épouse a véritablement joué les trouble-fête").
