lese magesty Explanation: Oxford advanced dictionary -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 horas (2010-10-13 20:51:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Compreendo a sua posição. Falei com varios amigos ingleses e todos mostraram a mesma opinião de que o melhor, neste caso, será deixar apenas "almost a crime" eliminando o "lese magesty" que realmente não é muito usado em Inglaterra ou nos Estados Unidos |

criminal folly Explanation: "Almost criminal folly" Or even just "almost a crime" or "almost criminal" I think these possibilities sound more natural to my English ear. I think you could get away with your suggestion of "unforgiveable" here too. |
