Idiomes : le dépassement de soi

Faire table rase de/du = (se débarrasser de): to make a clean sweep, to get rid of.

Couper la poire en deux (faire un compromis) : to split the difference, to meet halfway.

Tourner autour du pot = tergiverser : to beat about the bush, to beat around the bush, pussyfoot, to pussyfoot around somebody or something, twist and turn, to tiptoe around.

Compter pour des prunes/du beurre (pour rien, ne pas être considéré) : not to count for anything/to count for nothing.

Gagne-pain = bread and butter, livelihood.

Se sortir du pétrin : to get yourself out of a mess, to get yourself out of a hole, to get yourself off the hook, to get yourself out of a sticky situation.

Une poule mouillée = par manque de courage et/ou de confiance en soi : wimp.  "Wimp" est à utiliser avec précaution : il peut être entendu comme une insulte, suivant le contexte de la phrase, quand le mot touche à l'intégrité de la personne :  shocking! 

Haut la main = les (deux) doigts dans le nez, très facilement : with flying colours (UK), with flying colors (US). Hands down, to win with one hand tied behind your back, piece of cake.

Courir sur le haricot de [qqn] (énerver, agacer) : to get on [sb]'s nerves/to annoy the hell out of [sb].

Faire un tabac : avoir beaucoup de succès : to be a hit.

Replacez la bonne expression dans son contexte. Il n'y a pas d'image, car le sujet ne s'y prête pas.

Une traduction vous est offerte à la correction.

Maintenant, c'est à vous.

Amusez-vous bien et bonne chance !
