    Je voudrais juste préciser que la dernière preposition NE FAIT PAS partie du verbe, même si elle sert à modifier le sens du verbe. Donc tandis que l'on ne puisse jamais dire:

    Away with what can she get?

    on peut bien (du moins en principe) dire:

    With what can she get away?

    puisque "with", ne faisant pas partie du verbe "get away", peut s'en séparer.

    Bien sûr que la façon anglaise plus facile et naturelle est de mettre la préposition à la fin:

    What can she get away with?

    C'est tout.

    Bonjour.

    Voici quelques remarques préliminaires.

    1- To stand up for = To stick up for.
    Notez aussi : To back sb/sth up = to support sb/sth
    I'll back you up if the don't believe you.

    4- La bureaucracie
    Red tape : Official rules that seem more complicated than necessary and prevent things from being done qickly. (origin) From the custom of trying up official documents with red or pink ink tape.

    He has been toying with the idea of sailing across the Atlantic for so long.

    8- Accent faubourien.

    cockney accent.

    10- Il risque.
    To be likely to ──► éventualité vraisemblable.

    Voici ce que je vous propose :

    2- There was nothing that could make up for the unexpected loss of his wife.
    3- The police have decided to crack down on drug
    traffickers.
    4- The government has commited itself to doing away with red tape.
    5- I was asked to come up with a scheme with a view to reducing the pollution caused by our factories.
    6- At the time I toyed with the idea of going in for politics.
    7- We'd run out of petrol, so we have had to walk to the service station.
    8- I can't put up with the new boss. He, who has got a lisp,looks down on his secretary because she's got a cockney accent.
    9- With his modesty, authority, and sense of humour, he was a teacher we all looked up to.
    10- He must realize that he is likely to come up against major difficulties if he keeps on behaving (in) this way.
