Le mot du jour : “comme une tra\u00een\u00e9e de poudre”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these days \nwhere newspapers on both side of the Channel talk a lot about viruses \nand epidemics, you can often find that expression : “Le virus se r\u00e9pand \ncomme une tra\u00een\u00e9e de poudre”
The word for word translation would be :\n “The virus spreads like a trail of gunpowder”. I think the English \nlanguage uses “like wildfire”, which is very close.
When I was a child, each time I heard these words I would imagine a pirate’s ship full of barrels of gunpowder on the verge of exploding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that with this new virus. Wishing you all to stay healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le mot du jour : “comme une tra\u00een\u00e9e de poudre” In these days where newspapers on both side of the Channel talk a lot about viruses and epidemics, you can often find that expression : “Le virus se r\u00e9pand comme une tra\u00een\u00e9e de poudre” The word for word translation would be : “The virus spreads … <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
