Modifié par felin le 26-08-2006 21:47 Hello lakata, About "looking suspect": No, it wasn't a slip of the pen. In English, the word "suspect" is not only a verb but it can be a noun, and, it is also an adjective. Suspect (adj) = false, dangerous. "To look suspect" = avoir l'air suspect.

Hello Felin. J'avoue être perdue. J'avais compris que la fin de votre phrase signifiait justement "...simplement pour avoir l'air suspect" et ne saisis pas pourquoi "looking suspect" ne conviendrait alors pas au vu de ce que vous venez d'écrire.
Cela dit, je viens de m'apercevoir que "suspicious" avait non seulement le sens de 'suspicieux"(feeling suspicion), mais aussi,ô stupeur! celui de "suspect" (causing suspicion). Des trucs à faire tromper l'apprentie que je suis mais qui montrent que vous avez raison.
So I must apologize to you. I am sorry.
