ASSOCIATIONS AND IMAGERY:

Существительное argument образно ассоциируется с борьбой двух противостоящих партнеров, пытающихся в словесной борьбе доказать свою правоту и отстоять свою позицию. Образ такой борьбы, при сохранении общего значения приведения доводов и доказательст, в более явной форме проявляется в ряде словосочетаний, таких как: They have again crossed swords over this problem. Они вновь скрестили шпаги по поводу этого вопроса. John was always the first to lead her defence. Джон всегда первым бросался на защиту ее идей. We did battle over who to appoint to this post. Мы немало повоевали по вопросу о том, кого назначить на этот пост. We had a big fight over this decision last night. Вчера вечером у нас был настоящий бой из-за этого решения. He realized that he had to change his line of attack if he wanted to be successful. Он понимал, что, если он хочет добиться успеха, ему надо сменить свою тактику наступления. She tried to defend herself against his attacks. Она пыталась защищаться от его нападок. She shot down all his arguments. Она разбила все его доводы. It was an indefensible point of view. Эту точку зрения нельзя было защищать. /Защита этой точки зрения была обречена на провал. There was a lot of conflict over what to do next. По поводу дальнейших действий разгорелся настоящий конфликт. They clashed over who should go. Они сцепились по поводу того, кому из них ехать. It was a real battle of wits. Это было настоящее состязание в остроумии. /Это была настоящая борьба умов

ⓘ Come on down! Il s'agit de la formule consacrée du jeu télévisé The Price is Right (dont l'équivalent français est Le Juste prix) qui débuta en 1957 aux États-Unis, et dans les années 80 en Grande-Bretagne. L'animateur de l'émission prononçait ces paroles ("Descendez!") pour inviter les membres du public sélectionnés pour participer au jeu à venir le rejoindre sur la scène. Aujourd'hui on utilise cette formule plaisamment pour dire à quelqu'un d'approcher ou bien pour indiquer à quelqu'un qui doit prononcer un discours ou se produire sur scène qu'il est temps de prendre place.

ⓘ Come up and see me sometime... Cette formule fut utilisée pour la première fois par Mae West dans le film de 1933 She Done Him Wrong (dont le titre français est Lady Lou); la citation exacte était en fait Why don't you come up sometime, see me? ("Pourquoi est-ce que tu ne monterais pas un de ces jours, pour me voir?"). Il s'agit de l'archétype de l'invitation au badinage. Encore aujourd'hui on utilise cette formule en imitant l'air canaille de Mae West.

Tener tiene dos traducciones básicas: to have o to have got. Esta segunda se usa casi únicamente para expresar posesión y solo en el presente: Tengo un coche nuevo. I have got a new car.
La primera se usa en sentido más general: Va a tener un problema. He's going to have a problem. Recuerda que la forma interrogativa de I have got es have I got?, mientras que la forma interrogativa de I have es do I have?
Cuando tener significa sentir, se traduce por el verbo to be: Tengo hambre. I am hungry.

ⓘ Routes The French road network, outside of the motorway system of autoroutes, is composed of routes départementales and routes nationales. The route départementale is a secondary road, maintained by the département and signalled as ‘D' followed by a road number and marked in yellow on French road maps. It is not intended to be used for fast travel between towns and can have stretches indicated in green on maps to mark panoramic views or local beauty spots. The routes nationales form part of the state-maintained road network, signalled as ‘N' followed by the road number and marked in red on French road maps. The routes nationales provide faster roads for travel between towns and cities. ⇒ Bison Futé
