agree  Khrystene (X)
5 hrs
  -> Dziękuję.:)
agree  Jerzy Matwiejczuk: Chyba lepiej jednak np "for big fishes", bo rekiny po angielsku kojarzą się zdecydowanie negatywnie
18 hrs
  -> Dziękuję za wsparcie merytoryczne.:) Jednak w oryginale nie mamy "grubych ryb", lecz "rekiny" - ja bym tego nie zmieniał.:)
disagree  Marek Daroszewski (MrMarDar): shark = a person who is ruthless and greedy and dishonest // w polskim rb nie ma negatywnych konotacji (np. http://ksiegarnia.bellona.pl/index.php?bid=1853&c=boo ); sprawdź (twoją ulubioną) statystykę i porównaj występowanie EN i PL
1 day 12 hrs
  -> Dokładnie jak polski rekin - skoro polska nazwa kojarzy się negatywnie, to dlaczego tłumacz miałby ingerować w wydźwięk oryginału? BTW, widzę, że mogę liczyć na wzajemność...;-) || Więc porównaj: http://je.pl/m3b8 .
