Romanian term
Ce mai la deal la vale
Romanian to English
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
"si-asa i-am facut numai necazuri toata viata, macar acum la sfarsit sa-i indulcesc oleaca zilele; si, ***ce mai la deal la vale***, perspectiva inchisorii, a suferintei, si pe deasupra cu gandul la nenorocirea lui, ma ingrozeste."
Initial am pus 'what's the point in sugar coating it', deoarece am vrut sa folosesc o expresie, nu simplul, 'to be honest' sau 'to be blunt', dar acuma nu-mi mai suna atat de bine. Pareri? Alte sugestii?
Multumesc anticipat

Mie "to be honest" mi se pare ok în context. Alte sugestii scurtuţe care-mi vin în cap în momentul ăsta ar fi:
"let's face it"
"after all"
"at the end of the day"
Poate mai vin şi alţi colegi cu sugestii mai bune.
HTH,
Diana
