Subject: sharp edge Как перевести sharp edge в последнем предложении?Контекст: The attack mode is expressed partly through perception of the adversary in more negative terms, and partly through a mobilization of the body. Thus, the skipped heartbeat and muscle tension are part of the mobilization to attack. The angry words and the sharp edge are part of the attack itself. |
