Ακριβώς; Γιατί το "up for any challenge" έχει μόνο θετική χροιά, ενώ το "όλα τα σφάζω, όλα τα μαχαιρώνω" όχι και τόσο.

Ναι, μάλλον έχεις δίκιο, αφού η παρουσία του challenge δείχνει ταυτόχρονα έναν αυτοπεριορισμό που δεν υπάρχει στο ελληνικό. Ίσως θα ήταν πιο κοντά ένα up for anything/whatever comes this way κττ.

Thanks, dr7 and Alexandra.

Κάτι σαν το "I'll butcher all, and take a stab at everything" έχει ένα παραλληλισμό, νομίζω;

to butcher = tο bungle, botch
take a stab at something = make an attempt (even when one is not equal to the challenge/task).

Now that's a good one! :up:

To the knifepoint. To the meat of it, when you boil it down. :-)
