Aujourd'hui cette formule est davantage associée aux personnages de rebelles qu'incarnaient James Dean et d'autres jeunes acteurs des années 50 et 60, et à la vie trépidante qu'ils menaient dans la réalité. Cette formule est généralement utilisée dans sa version tronquée ( live fast and die young) pour faire référence à un style de vie débridé. On dira par exemple I don't like these modern pop stars and their live fast, die young attitude ("je n'aime pas les vedettes de la musique pop d'aujourd'hui qui ne pensent qu'à s'amuser sans jamais penser aux conséquences").Ⅱ.live2 [laɪv](a) (alive → animal, person) vivant;∎ the live weight of the animal le poids de l'animal sur pied;∎ they feed the snakes on live mice ils nourrissent les serpents de souris vivantes;∎ familiar a real live cowboy un cow-boy, un vrai de vrai∎ live pictures from Mars des images en direct de Mars;∎ Sinatra live at the Palladium Sinatra en concert au Palladium;∎ recorded before a live audience enregistré en public(e) (unexploded) non explosé(f) (still burning → coals, embers) ardent(g) (not extinct → volcano) actif(h) (controversial) controversé;∎ a live issue un sujet controversé2 adverben direct;∎ to perform live (singer, group) chanter en direct;∎ they've never performed live ils n'ont jamais fait de scène;∎ the match can be seen/is going out live at 3.30 p.m. on peut suivre le match/le match est diffusé en direct à 15 heures 30;∎ the show comes live from New York City le spectacle nous arrive en direct de New York►► live ammunition balles fpl réelles;Technology live axle essieu m moteur, pont m;live births naissances fpl viables;Computing live cam caméra f Internet;Electricity live circuit circuit m alimenté ou sous tension;live entertainment spectacle m; (broadcast) spectacles mpl en direct;∎ nobody goes to see live entertainment any more plus personne ne va au spectacle de nos jours;∎ the theatre and other forms of live entertainment le théâtre et autres formes de divertissement;live music musique f live;live oak chêne m vert;live recording enregistrement m live ou public;Electricity live wire fil m sous tension;Cookery live yoghurt yaourt m actif -
