Traduction > français -> anglais

Ne pas employer mécaniquement ces verbes, dont l'usage dépend du registre et de la collocation verbe - objet.

Si par exemple pick off, gun down, put down, shoot down et pull down peuvent tous se traduire par "abattre",

ils ne s'emploient pas indifféremment en anglais :

- pick off -> abattre, éliminer, tuer plusieurs personnes l'une après l'autre.

// shoot one by one (idée de froideur, de calcul, de détermination).

And what makes it all the more shocking is that she was no accidental victim,

a bystander caught up in a drive-by shooting.

She was instead targeted. And picked off.

Shot dead by a callous killer, Toni-Ann Byfield is the youngest victim yet of Britain's gang warfare, I, p. 1, 16.9.2003.

- Ce verbe à particule adverbiale ne doit pas être confondu avec gun down

(même dans un contexte d'embuscade, ce verbe n'implique pas, comme pick off,

l'idée de tuer froidement une personne, puis une autre).

- put down -> abattre, piquer, "euthanasier" (animal).

Seven months after Dolly the cloned sheep was put down, stuffed and exhibited in a Scottish museum,

the company that created her is to get much the same treatment from its accountants.

Goodbye Dolly: PPL puts itself up for sale, minus sheep, I, p. 17, 16.9.2003.
