English term or phrase: "Hotter"
Salve...Come tradurreste l'espressione "The hotter the trade?"
Ovviamente riporto un pò più di contesto:The hotter
the trade,the more daunting are the problemsof
identification.How do you go about,for instance,finding
a blackmarket buyer for eight bars of enriched uranium?"Il contesto lascia intuire che la problematica è trovare gente con pochi scrupoli........
Io avrei pensato"Il risvolto più curioso della situazione"...Grazie a tutti in anticipo!
