bread with seven crusts Explanation: Deca osiromašenih radnika jedu hleb sa sedam kora = .... are fed on a bread with seven crusts "... Temby sets the scene for the manner in which these three men will engage in work that will be their 'bread with seven crusts' -- the hardest crust they will ever earn (page 10), creating a space in which the three men and the Nash family blend and shape their respective lives through this cross-cultural encounter. ..."

7 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1eat a hard-earned crust Explanation: "to earn a crust" = to earn a living This translation plays on this expression, and also includes the image of bread from the original. Daryo, this expression is also in your reference; I think the title of that book may well be a direct translation from Italian (I wonder if they also use this image in Italian?). I've not seen "bread with seven crusts" in English before. |
