http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?shortf=1&L2=2&L1=4&a=ShowTranslations&s=не поделить французская идиома, объясняемая по-английски здесь http://forum.wordreference.com/archive/index.php?t-31904.html The origin of this expression is worth mentioning. Here maille designates a coin of negligible value, that you cannot normally divide, like a cent. But partir (cognate with partition in English) used to mean just that : to divide, so avoir maille à partir avec qqun means literally having a cent to divide , which is impossible, hence a situation of conflict. |
