French term or phrase: dans l’ascenseur de votre réussite.
Bonjour,

Je relis une traduction de la phrase suivante: "Nous vous accompagnons dans la transformation de votre entreprise, et nous sommes à vos côtés dans l’ascenseur de votre réussite."


Comment rendre la dernière partie de cette phrase en anglais, sans que la traduction soit trop littérale (..dans l'ascenseur de votre réussite.) ? "..in the elevator of your success" ne me semble pas être une traduction adéquate.

Explanation:

It's actually an expression that is used very commonly:

1.6 million matches

Stairway to Heaven has been, ahem, used by someone else already.

There's sibilance and alliteration in the term too.

Well, not quite alliteration, but you know what I mean.

Secondary school poetry was a long time ago.

as you go up in the world


Explanation:
Elevator - as US Am. for lift - may not work, but elevate as a verb might do.

Example sentence(s):
  • Go up in the world. To *elevate* or improve one's social, political, and/or financial position in life; to become more successful than one was before.

  -> Thanks and gracias, Shilpa. Coincidentally, a British relative of mine - late into retirement - went to 'work' as a lift / elevator attendant at the Stratosphere Skyscraper in Las Vegas, Nevada, US. I used to quip that he had been 'going up in the world'.

in the climb to your success


Explanation:
It's the most relevant translation. The elevator, even if it can go down, has a figurative sense of ascent.
