In a French news article, this appeared:
“Gauthier est un étudiant tout en contrôle. Sa colère est aussi froide que retenue. L’interne en médecinede 26 ans a une bonne dose de self-control.”
I’m perplexed by that second sentence. I think it translates as His anger is as cold as his restraint. Still, the sentence doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. Perhaps it means ‘firm’ or ‘rigid’ rather than ‘cold’?
Thanks.
Hello Bill. Yes, the sentence is funny. I would translate this sentence as “His anger is as repressed as it is restrained.” Cool question, though.
