Idiomes

Bonjour et bienvenue !

Voici dix idiomes. Notez bien la construction anglaise du quatrième idiome : elle n'est pas évidente pour un francophone ! Des couleurs soulignent les blocs grammaticaux de la phrase dans les deux langues.

Greetings from : meilleurs souvenirs de/du... 

Not to be at a loss for words : ne pas avoir sa langue dans sa poche.

Off-peak periods: les heures creuses (tarif énergétique d'électricité moins cher, où les horaires avantageux varient suivant le contrat).

Ten of them laid into the two of us: ils nous sont tombés dessus à dix contre deux (dans un guet-apens). Cela est un exemple de construction qui ne sera pas repris tel quel dans l'exercice.

To be completely taken aback: tomber des nues.

To come very close to do sth: être à deux doigts de faire qqch.

To get a telling off: se faire enguirlander/se faire passer un savon.

To have pins and needles in one's legs: avoir des fourmis dans les jambes.

To make a mountain out of a molehill: se noyer dans un verre d'eau.

To pitchfork sb into a job : parachuter quelqu'un à un poste (sans qu'il ait forcément les compétences, par piston).

Replacez les expressions dans leur contexte. Une traduction vous est offerte dans le corrigé.

Maintenant, c'est à vous.

Amusez-vous bien et bonne chance !
