to cut off Explanation: if you cut off half of the possible misunderstandings of a culture, then you could give a rather "neutral" description of it. HTH, Serge L. my French-Italian dictionary |

peer agreement (net): +1to take something with a pinch of salt Explanation: If you take something with a pinch of salt, you do not believe it is completely accurate or true. Questa è la definizione che ho trovato sui miei dizionari (Zanichelli e Collins Cobuild), si tratta ovviamente di un'espressione figurata ma penso che nel tuo caso non sia affatto fuori luogo. "If you take all the misunderstandings of a culture with a pinch of salt, then you could give a rather "neutral" description of it". |
