English term or phrase: On edge of the nervous smash
He believed in his destiny much more than in God in heaven, considering that not every prayer would be taken into regard. Some stranger stream flowed through his veins. At times he was quite on edge of the nervous smash.

Da li se termin "On edge of the nervous smash", može prevesti, kao: "na ivici nervnog sloma", ili kako već? Da li je pravilnije prevesti: "Na ivici nervne propasti"? Hvala najlepše i najljubaznije.

na ivici nervnog sloma


Explanation:
I ja bih rekla 'na ivici nervnog sloma' iako se u engleskom češće sreće 'breakdown'. Slažem se i sa vama, Ninoslave, i sa Slobodanom jer je ovakav prevod najsvojstveniji srpskom jeziku.
