English term or phrase: "Oh no!"
C'est une des ces questions faussement faciles... La scène représente un chef d'entreprise qui se rappelle soudain qu'il doit aller à la banque... Et ce n'est pas vraiment le moment... Et il va trouver la "bonne poire" pour aller à sa place.
"Oh no! I’ve got to go to the bank too! Now what? Carlos! That’s it, Carlos!"...

J'hésite entre:
"Ha non...
"Zut alors...
"Flute!
"Et en plus...
"Voilà qu'il faut...
Sachant qu'aucune formule ne me plaît vraiment... Que dirait-on vraiment dans ce genre de contexte? Votre inspiration est la bienvenue!

C'est pas vrai !


Explanation:

Une autre idée, mais je trouve vos propositions assez bonnes - après tout, ça relève des expressions "préférées" de cette personne alors si elle veut dire "Zut alors" elle dira "Zut alors" !!!
