peer agreement (net): +1baised against Explanation: "Biased" only tells half the story. You can say something is "biased" in English, but it does not really indicate whether in favour or against. It is therefore insufficient here. "A charge" indicates that it is against the person in question. If you think of "charge" as a "load", then you will feel the real meaning. Either of the references to the report in question indicate that the "rapport est (orienté) à charge", thus "biased againt X". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2016-03-26 13:00:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (inidicateS) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2016-03-26 13:02:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.S. The report may be "highly critical" as you say, but a repotrt can be critical without being biased either in favour or against an individual. To use "highly critical" here for "à charge" would be a mistranslation. |
